Off Topic Afternoon Drinking

It's the crystallisation of Uric acid that collects & builds up in the joints.

I think opinions are split over what causes it. Most say it's dietary but then those regularly disagree about which foods it is.

I take furisemide daily which can increase the serum levels of uric acid, as well as increasing your chances of pissing your pants. That's why I get it.

It's alcohol that causes it, almost always.
 
I know this doesn't really fit under the ''afternoon drinking'' header BUT, just back from my local and had the obligatory half gallon of the latest guest ale and would like to recommend it to the gentlemen who tend to habituate this thread - I give you, ''Farmers Blonde'', from the Bradfield brewery - it's 4% and is without a doubt one of the slipperiest brews I've quaffed in a long time, it goes down the neck soooo easily, give it a try if you see it.

PS It's best followed up with haddock and chips and two large Magno brandies!

4%?

Is it shandy?
 
I'm currently having a pint in Ealing

Wild Beer 5.5% ...not recommended, it doesn't taste finished!

Better than not drinking on an afternoon though of course...and I'll change my mind for the next one!

Couple of pints in Ealing...went for a walk...saw a bloke in a Hull FC t-shirt...that wasn't hugely surprising I suppose...but the fact he was playing croquet was!!!
 
I'm drinking Gulder lager. Apparently it's Nigerian. Nice. Made with a portion of sorghum, got to be by law. Anyone reading this has now learned something. You are welcome.

Where the **** are you that it's now the afternoon?

(I thought sorghum was a foodstuff...suppose that's right then)
 
Went on an Army reunion at the weekend in that there London Town.

Started drinking at 12.30 pm on both Friday and Saturday, which wasn't overly clever looking back at it.

Ended up in a Salsa club untl the early hours on Saturday night. Loads of young, good looking people dancing very sexily to Latin beats.

And then there was me and my mates.

Either bald or grey and most of us on the portly side, whinging like frig about paying £6.50 for a bottle on San Miguel.

We looked a proper set of miserable old bastards.



PS.

I couldn't function on Sunday.

At all.

It gets tough when you're getting older.
6 or 7 max for me now or I lose a couple of days recovering
