Basically more or less clear now, thankfully Big Drop stout tonight from Tesco - v tasty. I’ve got one of their IPA to try plus the hard to find n/a Adnams Ghost Ship (allegedly made with Citra hops)

My right one swelled up to the size of a small Orange in minutes. I couldn't walk properly for nearly a week. Painful. I should try more shouts. Milk shouts appear to be a thing again.

I’ve got about another week on the meds but I’m thinking long and hard already what to have after what’ll be close to 50 days off the sauce - by far my longest spell ‘dry’ in 36 years

Piston head is ok too. The 0.0% ones have the old alcohol free taste but the 0.5% ones are quite good. Becks is the best best of the generic lager versions. Bud alcohol free tastes just like normal Bud so avoid...

NDWDave Sep 2018 10:51am, 22 Sep 2018 7,727 posts	Quote Pin NDWDave Adnams do a couple - they used to sell sole star under M&S branding at 0.9%. That is pretty good too. I drink more than I should and swapping for alcohol free isn’t too much of a sacrifice. I would take a erdinger blue or franzikaner alcohol free over fosters, john smiths, bud, etc.
