I don't drink that often now, maybe once a week. I am going to Benidorm for Cheltenham week though so definitely going to feel a shell by the end of that.

Are you going to tell me that going somewhere other than Cheltenham, for 'Cheltenham week', is a thing?
I drank last night properly and the sleep is just a nightmare. 4 hours sleep and 3 separate pisses. What's the point.
Seems to be for the past few years. Apparently much cheaper than going to the festival itselfOriginally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
Crucially, no horses in Benidorm. Just donkeys.
When I'm drinking I like to do it from about 5pm to 7pm. Not even a sign of a hangover then.
Yeah, it's the same benefit with lunchtime starts. Although I still get some hangover as I am now of the age where I don't even think John Virgo would be describing me as a young man.
A two hour window sounds a bit different to a lunchtime onwards blowout.
What are you, 70?
Now I live as, essentially, a hermit I rarely get battered which is definitely a life improvement in terms of no days after. Still solid on the home consumption though.
Getting guttered 2 times a month also doesn’t sound much like not bothering with alcohol either
Is 1:45pm too early to crack one open on a Friday? I've got a fridge full of beer staring at me.
You own the company don't you? Why are you asking us?
1:45 on a Friday sounds pretty optimal to me.
I'm going for a few competition beers this evening to see if they make the grade as soon as I land in the door and get my drinking shorts on, RIP.
Because he's a tool and also a loser.
Basically. Anytime I have pints, I'm destined to piss multiple times in the night.
I think the social aspect is still probably a good enough reason to have a few beers even if the next day is a write off.
Even though it's handy drink at home, I do like to get out the odd evening for a yarn and to hear a few lies at the bar. Every 5 to 6 weeks she'll drop me down, which is plenty.
£280 for return flights, airport lounge, private transfers and 4 nights in a hotel, €1 a pint. Looking at £100 just for a ticket to the race meeting and being scalped every step of the way.
Are you staying in a brothel?
Working at a pub that’s nearby to Cheltenham during that week was awful. Made my coke addiction look calm. Never tipped either.
It's next to the Red Lion, I've stayed there before. It's not The Ritz and it gets lively in that area at night but when you've caned it all day you aren't going to be hearing any of that come bedtime.
Which one?
Only time I drink is if we do a wine flight at a wanky restaurant, meaning I have zero tolerance and always get quite drunk.

Last time I went I stayed there for 7 euros a night
I’m fucking thick and thought you were talking about Cheltenham so imagine my surprise when the page is in Spanish. I know trains are expensive these days but…
Lunchtime drinking at a bar is definitely the best for me nowadays as I grow older and more grumpy.
People are typically not bladdered or spitting in your face whilst talking. Nobody too aggressive, a calm and jovial atmosphere with mainly pensioners watching horse racing.
4 or 5 pints, a little pub meal, and then home by around 6pm before the lunatics start to arrive or before there's a chance of getting attacked on the way home.
If it's after 6pm, I'll probably be drinking at home with either a bit of tv or some tunes.
A big change since before lockdown, where I was out on average 3 times a week on a work-night, sometimes having a lock in at the local. Walking home at 3am with about 4-5 hours sleep for work is mad in your late 30s.
