That cherry stuff is wank, be warned. Its fucking disgusting.
Although I HATE wine, this stuff was worse than anything winelike I have ever been cursed to taste and disgustedly hock right back up again.
Today I've been drinking- a G&T, nice and iced cold. Got a liter and a half of some pretty nice gin, and schweppes tonic, but for some reason I just haven't much of an appetite for it. Although the heat kills any desire for food.
And knocking back bottle after bottle of the new flavor of own-brand powerade 'best in' brand; now they do a raspberry version, and OMFG it is the tastiest thing to hit the heatwave since a lump of squidgy black and an arm full of dipropionyl-omnopon based skag.
I'd gone to the shop to buy the regular blue stuff, almost ignored this red one thinking it was just 'summer fruits' etc. which I am generally no fan of, but bought one after noticing it was raspberry. Then cleaned out the shop of every last bottle of it they had in stock.
'best in-sport; isotonic raspberry flavor' is the one. I bet it would go nice with a shot of grey goose or stoli, on the rocks, with a few bruised fresh raspberries and a slice of lime, some lime juice....I have to try that ASAP before I forget the idea

Also drinking-gee's linctus. Didn't think they even made that anymore, let alone sold it over the counter. Certainly, I have seen none of it in years, but this arab doesn't seem to give a fuck about handing me over a bottle of the stuff right as I fill my scripts (OC80s, chlormethiazole, clonidine, tizanidine, buscopan, scopolamine patches, voltarol sprays, xylometazoline hooter squirter, a proton pump inhibitor, ranitidine, gabapentin and gaviscon)
Think I shall wait a while, and then try checking him for that ol' prize find in any pharmacy, codeine linctus. Or see if he will order it in for me.
I lost my only other source of the shit, after buying a fair bit* of the stuff a few years back. Now the pharmacist bears some sort of grudge now against me, for bringing his business income, and thus helping put food on the table of his bloody bollocking kids, if he has any (if anyone would put up with the sanctimonious, abortion surviving sewer-get. Now I can't get so much as a pack of 8/500 co-codamol, not even been there for a year or two to buy opioids, been in, but not for gear...time I go in with my wrist in a splint, thanks to belting some chav tosser that verbally abused then spat at me in the street, hairline cracked a bone in my wrist courtesy of twatting him into the next epoch with a set of dusters, too hard it turns out. Not for him, me

)
So I went in there for some codeine, obviously in pain, and he more or less tells me to get lost, and tells the lass who just started there not to serve me again (thankfully the transaction had already taken place before he poked his beak in and started poisoning the well against me. Sanctimonious turdweasel.)
Never found anywhere else that stocks the care+ brand of linctus, the sugar free one is around, very, very, very rarely, but that tastes of manky synthetic orange. The care stuff is flavored with just a hint of CHCl3...healthy? probably fucking not.
But mixed with tesco own brand lime soda, spiked with a few shots of vodka, maybe a ml or two of EtOEt, makes an absolutely fantastic cocktail, served with a slice or two of lime, a big fat squeeze of lime juice to counter the sweetish cloying chloroform taste, over ice. Its tasty AND it kicks arse. And theres even 100-150mg or so that cannot be metabolized in one go with codeine, per bottle, so theres a little booster there for later.
Beats a couple of cans of stella or a bottle of shit cider. for the price of a few quid. No filthy hangover, no acetaldehyde taste in one's mouth (which IMO is quite disgusting)
And the last of that luscious Wells banana bread beer. That was fucking lovely stuff. I could cheerfully skull that by the barrel, if mixing that much EtOH with chlormethiazole, painkillers and adrenal suppressants wouldm't kill me
Savouring my very last bottle of banana bread ale with a couple of heminevrin caps earlier. I think I MIGHT have a bottle Asahi dark import beer left in the fridge, can't remember if I necked it to make space for some cultures or not
Just finished some proper real lemon frosty lemonade, 'with the bits in'. MMMmmmm, absolutely gorgeous in this bastardly heatwave. Got a bottle of that, and a mango and apple smoothie, same brand, forgot what it was, just picked it up after I got stopped by the pork the other day and kicked out of town for 24 hours (was doing nowt wrong), after blagging them that I had every right to smoke legal synthetic 'noid-laced herbs; and that I was keeping the bag full of works I'd JUST picked up from the exchange (obviously, I'd just have gone and had to get more)
Had to go get something to eat and drink, which they were ok with, so popped into boots, grabbed a bottle of pulmo bailly while I was at it for good measure

, and came out with some chocolate brownies and an armful of smoothies (and speedballs but the pigs needed not to know that

)
