What Are You Drinking? Four of your 'finest' purple tins, s'il vous plait

I've never owned a shed be it a manshed, womanshed or transhed. My granddad did, naturally. I like the way sheds smell. Not sure I'd have much use for a shed as I do most of my pottering indoors where it's less drafty. Would be quite tempted to convert any shed I may or may not ever come to own into some kinda summerhouse affair. Only that sounds way too poncy so converted to a shelter to keep the sun (or more likely rain) out me pint in the summer will do.

Got a coupla glasses of Pinot Noir left from last night but now having to weigh up the decision of whether or not a shopwalk is justified...
 
Hehe poor Felix, it's the only space he has to call his own and still I take it over with me seeds packets, pots, compost and trowel...

I've also had a disaster with 2 garden hoses recently ;) (what's a girl to do when she's desperate eh) and they're uncoiled all over the shop :!

He'll be easily enough distracted when I mention the need for power tools and a big bush up the back that needs a trimming =D
 
My dad has a brick outhouse/toolshed that was his escape. He used to go in there with his radio, or wireless as he still calls it, and sit on an old wooden chair, and smoke joints and drink guinness draught from a can. Living in a house of women was clearly too much for him!

I'd occasionally go and join him as I got older, I can still smell the smell, oil, tools, dust and cannabis :) Dad smells.
 
My dad's shed had plugs :\

He just calls the radio the wireless, always has. I remember him telling me stories of when he was a boy, listening to Radio Luxembourg when he should have been asleep, trying to tune it in. Ack, been too long since I've seen my dad, year and more is too much, gonna stop talking about him. And drink more cider!
 
Aye, him being all dad like and man like, he wired the plugs in himself. It wasn't a shed. It's made of bricks. Probably more of an outhouse.

There used to be an outside toilet too when we first moved in. That got knocked down though.

Hahaha that's what I on now, local Co-Op doing two bottles for 3 quid, the 8.2% shizzle!
Click to expand...

Last time I looked my local Co-op had taken it off promotion and it was back at £1.85 a bottle, hopefully it's back on again now. I'm choking for a bottle...no cider for over 5 months!!
 
Got a 10PM cut-off for mine. So made sure I got there in the nick of time =D

Did also buy some sensible stuff though - reduced sossies for dins tomorrow, BOGOF pate for lunches, coffee for the morn/afternoon/eve/whenever I get up and so on. Was a perfectly justified shopwalk that just happened to coincide with me running low on booze is all. Honest :D
 
They're only excuses if they're not justifiable, I say. I really did need coffee and the other stuff was also needed. I just hadn't realised I needed it before I went out is all :D

Now drinking the entirely justifiable bottle of Pinotage I got. Bloody good stuff this - been drinking it quite a bit recently. Less than a fiver a bottle, perfectly palatable and 14.5%. Can't go wrong :)
 
Perfect.

I've managed to get my way through nearly 3 litres of 6% cider (plus the two pints I had earlier in the afternoon) and have just under half a bottle of bucky at my side. I've hardly eaten all day, so basically i've been drinking since i got up late afternoon, yet I am unfortunately not drunk. The pain of a high tolerance.
 
I'd prefer not to be an alcoholic. I was doing well, and was in counselling, but fucked it up by missing sessions when I went up to Edinburgh. I didn't find them helpful anyway, I'd outpour a lot of shit, and just as we'd get to the bottom of why I drank session was over, and soon as I left, i'd be straight to the offy as I didn't want to deal with that had been unleashed in my head. It's my coping mechanism.

It is THE worst thing to be addicted to. I'm waking up with shakes again, and can't eat. (I eat once a day, if I can be arsed, though that could be medication side effect) Bad signs.
 
Shit. too drunk, mixing g & t then port makes you mega drunk on an empty stomach.

Edit: this post took some time to type! hic!!!!
 
^^ I'm probably a borderline alky meself, Cherry. I think the fact that I have such little interest or respect for alcohol as a drug and such huge interest and respect in other drugs is maybe my saviour as far as full-blown alcoholism goes. Have (literally) watched people die from alcoholism and it ain't pretty. When I have good access to (and can afford) drugs I actually like my alcohol intake plummets. Sadly I'm slightly struggling on both access and (especially) affordability for other drugs at the moment so drinking fairly heavily. Nowhere near actual heavy-drinking levels yet but I really do need to shake off this weird limbo state I'm in at the moment and rebuild me stashbox. Was often my saviour.
 
^ I've made the admission, it's the first step. A hospital admission, then counselling with ARA, helped me do it.

Aye, I watched my ex boyfriend slowly kill himself via alcoholism, and it was drink's fault he died. You know the one I mean (MTGG). Sadly, I still have issues with self blame for that, which my alc counseller decided has a lot to do with my own drinking. It's a long complex issue.

Anyway, I indent to continue drinking, just so I can sleep tonight!
