The economy's fucked, I can't get any work, everything's going to pot.

This is obviously a good time to get smashed.

I'm about to turn 21 in four months, I have numerous friends who are 21 now and I can get to buy me alcohol easily. Worst time ever to not have a job and run out of money. Damn I wish I could drink right now.

I have started taking a bottle of wine to parties instead of a crate of beer because it is that little bit cheaper.

Some places have changed their £1 a drink night to £1.50 a drink or even, in some extreme cases, £2 a drink.

Portsmouth: Tuesday at The Registry is still Pound a Pint night, Thursdays at Liquid and Envy is still £1 until 11pm and then £1.50 thereafter. Not bad at all.

15 crate of carling for less than a tenner... sorted.

Asda? We got a large crate of Carlsberg in Asda for £10 earlier, which to be fair is easier to drink than Carling. Bargain, especially when sat next to £17 Stella Crate. I am cheap and essentially unaffected by credit crunch.

I find carling the easiest beer to drink honestly, It's not heavy or strong but it is refreshing and tasty. By that I mean I can drink 15 cans and not whitey.

And no, satansbusy has it for 9 quid most of the time.

As for huffing aerosols and stuff, I like

most. Smells good, does the job and wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I get so much shit for only drinking PBR pounders when I go out "Oh Brittany that is such a hipster beer" FUCK YOU it is an old man beer and it is also delicious. I have consistently had a case on hand for eight years and I don't plan on stopping. Though right at this very moment I am drinking a Drop Top amber ale and it is so refreshing and delicious and smooth and also I have a Summit IPA, Southampton Altbier and Goose Island oatmeal stout so I think maybe those balance out the cheapness of the PBR.

*edit* this is my fridge

Top shelf: Milk, margarine, Carnation Instant Breakfast, my delicious beers
2nd shelf: mayo, cheese, butter, apple butter, ham, pudding
3rd shelf: jag, diet redbull (roommates'!), water, two bottles of wine behind some keystone light (roommates'!) and one Sparks
bottom: Captain Morgan, Bacardi O, and a 24 of something the roommates put in a soft cooler.

My cupboards are all about the same. No food, but lots of booze.

If i were to take a pic of my fridge, you would find a lone Sparks on the bottom shelf as well. Love that shit, drinking one right now, not to get drunk but for the refreshment it gives me. They are going to stop making it though, if you didnt hear. Some asshole forced them to stop producing it.

the economy hasn't stopped my drinking, but my DUI back in July hampered it a little. also I don't work anymore (since september), spent 6 years running a liquor store, then got into it with an employee and walked out, bad idea, but I stand by my decisions. finding a job via skateboard isn't very easy to do, but I keep finding odd jobs to fill my wallet. I still buy a liter of bourbon almost nightly and a 12 pack of miller high life, I found that if you only eat one meal a day, your wallet stays fatter.

Go die in a gutter and stop making the rest of us drunks look like a bunch of idiots.

PS Drinkin' Peronis, and playing Mass Effect while I wait for the kitchen at my local to open so I can get a beer and a feed, fuck you recession.

Damn straight Blazing saddles is awesome.

I used to do the whole "Bottle of rum a day" thing and I got really skint and in a bad way really fast, stoppit.

i've shifted my assets into booze so that i dont have to take a noticable decline in booze. if anything, it's gone up because this restaurant near me makes the most amazing cocktails. my favorite is this cinnamon infused bourbon with muddled apples and oranges. they also just introduced an expresso vodka/homemade horchata/caramel drink. i just buy less clothes, really.

Wardial3r · « **Reply #63 on:** 09 Feb 2009, 17:36 »

Considering i'm still underage, I can't be picky. But now my over 21 friends spend more time drinking at home to save money by not going to the bars. So, I'm drinking more.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #64 on:** 09 Feb 2009, 17:39 »

I think 21 as a legal drinking age is... weird. I cannot imagine not being able to drink booze.

I drank underage but now that it is legal, I don't do it more/less so an age limit so high is just, sucky.

Wardial3r · « **Reply #65 on:** 09 Feb 2009, 17:43 »

I think I drink more because It's like forbidden you know, so if I have the opportunity to, I'm not going to turn it down. Yeah, it is rather high anyways, and I'm young to go off to college (16), so I'm a lot younger than most of my friends anyways.

Holy crap I'm back! Drunk right now and glad to see that I'm still quoted in clockworkjames's sig!

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #67 on:** 13 Mar 2010, 02:33 »

1) It's not even a good sig quote.

2) You brought back a year old thread to say that? Bad form, dude. Bad form.

Brass Monkey.

"An alternative version of the brass monkey is a 40-ounce bottle of malt liquor that has been consumed to the top of the label and then filled with orange juice. The accepted method for mixing is by the bottle and rolling it across the floor to ensure homogeneity of the solution." (Wikipedia)

We now brew our own beer!

It's hella cheaper. And delicious.

Aw man this is a necro thread? I liked this thread.

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #72 on:** 13 Mar 2010, 10:06 »

Hell yes brewing your own beer.

I just brewed an awesome Oatmeal Stout

greenMonkey · « **Reply #73 on:** 13 Mar 2010, 10:13 »

I've not seen a huge change, though my discovery of better beers has led to me buying less beer with the same amount of money. Currently, I have a mostly full bottle of Balvenie Doublewood and 3 six packs of various brews in my fridge. I'm in good shape.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #74 on:** 13 Mar 2010, 10:45 »

Worldwide economic situation hasn't done shit, it's the lack of work I've had the past few months that is leaving me sober as a judge. I still get silly here and there, but I haven't bought a single bottle for myself since sometime in September, it's all been shared with friends (which is quite frankly better, anyway).
