Eynsham Red Nov 2023 4:11pm, 15 Nov 2023 10,233 posts	0 Eynsham Red I'm a social non-drinker I wouldn’t say that I’m a non drinker but I recently had a clear out and poured away several pints of bottled beer that were some years past their BBD. I very rarely drink unless we have friends around, which is not very often, and then soft drinks are often preferred.

LazyDaisy Nov 2023 5:06pm, 15 Nov 2023 39,127 posts	0 LazyDaisy port and lemon ftw All my under-age drinking was port and lemon. I didn't progress to wine until I was a student (Italian red, called Tonino, 50p a bottle from the student bar) and then eventually as a proper grown-up to gin* and tonic. And hence to appalling hangovers until I saw sense *Never really liked gin but kept trying to. What I did like, but haven't seen for years, was Chambéry instead of Martini. Nicer herbiness.
