gin is vile.

I'm starting to think that in the name of intoxicating myself on any sort of level, I'll be forced to return to hard drugs (or Jameson Whiskey).

or maybe I should shave my head and become straight-edge. XX

Gin + Sprite is what I used to do in the old days.
Makes your teeth feel funny.

[knox]

It won't really.
And wine is the worst hangover.
You don't even need to get drunk but you'll still get a headache.

But I do like my wine.

I'm not a fan of wine. Plus I couldn't tell the difference between a very cheap and a very expensive one.

i had half a bottle of a chilean tempranillo last night.
thank god i store paracetamols.

my best friend is sort of a wine connosseur. I love it.
we go through a bottle talking and listening to music and he tells me special stuff about the wine we're drinking.

Just thinking about wine gives me a headache.

although, because he is who he is, i should hold my horses before i said 'knowledge' up there.

ps. i love booze talk.

ah yes.
it's because of him i kind of know what wine to buy now rather than cheap horrible stuff.
the easiest rule was: go for chilean and you can't go wrong.

disgusting and addictive

I thought my local supermarket had blundered when I bought 4 cans of Fosters that had been reduced in price. The price scrawled in biro on the reduced sticker was 60p, but when I scanned each can through a self-service till the price that came up was 49p. A question popped up everytime on the screen asking if the price was correct. I naturally touched the "yes" option. The following couple of days I did the same thing with other drinks. I got a can of Strongbow, selling for 90p, a couple of cans of Punk IPA, selling for £1, and a bottle of Old Speckled Hen, selling for £1.20, for 49p each.

It was yesterday, when I told a friend about it, that I discovered it was the norm for reduced alcoholic drinks to come up 49p. It was up to the customer to touch the "no" option when asked if the price is correct and type in the correct price. I told my friend the system is laughably flawed as you'd have to be mad, if you like a drink, to touch the "no" option when asked if the price is correct as you're getting cheap alcohol even cheaper!

I did it again today. I saved myself £2.02 by buying two bottles of Bombardier English Ale, which were both reduced to £1.50, only paying 49p each for them. Result!

So in your supermarket there's no security nor regular employees who give a fuck about this behavior? People would get fired for this pretty quickly over here.
