The new guide to alcohol consumption

[Keith Morris]

You know what really pee's me off sometimes?

Australia has, literally, some of the finest wines produced anywhere in the world. I've had it on good authourity that even our cask wine that we consider only good enough for a bar-b-g if sold overseas would win gold medals.

And, for a number of different reasons, I've never developed a taste for it. It all tastes like vinegar to me.

Often I wonder what I'm missing out on.

"tanks" here---Jim
You just didn't drink enough to get the "FULL" flavour of it.

Oh I definitely agree with you tanks. But in all fairness, if you drink something and it tastes like vinegar, what is the incentive to keep drinking it?

It was the same for me with spirits. I tried them all in my teen years and they all burnt all the way down.But continued I continued until I could hardly stand up and was sick as a dog because I wanted to be "cool". As a result, the mere smell of any spirit is enough to turn my stomach now.

But when I moved permanently to Australia and some bugger shouted me a pot of Carlton draught straight out of the tap........ Ahhhh Heaven! that stuff was magic. Gimme another! And another.

Im particualarly fond of a drop of Tawny Port, Used to buy it in the 3 or 4lt carton when we travelled in OZ, Came in several different brands, all quite nice .I cant buy a carton here in NZ only comes in 750ml bottles and about the same price i paided for a 3lt carton over there Talk about a rip off....

At least with all you non drinkers the number of drinks per person averaged out across the country is reducing I'll have a drink for you all today, just so you feel included and they will be my standard drinks, not what someone thinks I should have .... too much limiting the freedom of expression these days ..... did I mention I've been on TV?

[Greynomad]
