What are you drinking tonight?

[Mottie]

A bottle and a bit of £4.50 Sainsbury’s house Pinot Noir with my venison. I bought two bottles this week so we'll finish the rest of the other bottle with our Sunday lunch tomorrow. I must say, it possibly wasn’t as good as I remember the £7.50 bottle was that I bought last week. I need to check them both side by side.

A couple of these with my Sainsbury Thai takeaway.

I’ve never been much of a beer drinker but about 15/20 years ago I went to a car club meeting at the Halfway house on the A127. As I was driving, I asked for a pint of 'low alcohol' beer. They gave me Kronenburg 1664. I'd never had it before and it tasted fine to me, in fact I felt a little bit tipsy. When I went to buy another pint, I said to the **** behind the bar "Are you sure this is low alcohol?" He asked someone else and they said it wasn’t low alcohol, it was NO alcohol so I had another pint. And another. I drove home ****ed! It wasn’t till the next day when I mentioned it to a young lad that I worked with and he told me it was strong stuff that I realised why I felt ****ed. Would have been no defence if I’d been nicked. I phoned the pub manager up, described those that sold me it and did my ****ing nut. He apologised but that’s about all I could do. ****ing idiots.

I've drank a lot, regularly, but not to get pizzed; I just like the taste of what I drink.
If all there was was Carling and budweiser , I'd be teetotal.

Give the ones I've recommended a try, you might be pleasantly surprised.

WTAF?

So lets get this straight you had a beer, felt TIPSY, then said 'areeeee you sure theesis isss low alcohol im drinkinin?(you ****)' then bought a few more? You honestly never checked the alcohol content on a bottle? That's been like reading the stats from top trump cards as a kid, it's something from an early age i was aware of!?

It was a draft beer from the other end of the bar. If someone serving you beer assures you it is low/no alcohol you assume they would know what they are serving you.

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Are they obliged to put the alcoholic content on the beer tap labels?
It's certainly a practice I've seen regularly.
I'd have slept in the car. (It wouldn't be the first time.)

 

[Mottie]

Are they obliged to put the alcoholic content on the beer tap labels?

Possibly but we were in a 'snug' with just a little counter and the draft beers were all in another area of the bar which is why I asked for a low alcohol beer. It didn’t hit me fully until I’d been home for a while but would have definitely failed a breath/blood alcohol test on the 10 minute drive home.

But want we all want to know is...................................did Mrs Mottie take advantage of you when you got home?
