Nothing worse than feeling rough and lacking enthusiasm with any games they want to play. I have a couple but not enough to make me feel rough the next day.

Yep, I reckon I have “too many” twice a year these days and it really makes life super tough! I had 4 mid strength beers and two small glasses of whiskey yesterday (Christmas) and wasn’t drunk but my body just can’t handle it regardless of how many haha. All good, coffee in. Also built a wicked tower with blocks so that’s helped.

Hope you and your family had a great day

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 26, 2022 Subscriber Posted December 26, 2022 I didn't drink around our daughters but sunk a bottle of wine or 2 here at home, got a wee bit tipsy and I upset the wife a wee bit, reason? As mentioned in a post further back our daughter bought me this as a Christmas present... and I love it, the wife said it looks scary, so, while she was sitting here in the lounge I put the bust of 'Here's Johnny' in our bedroom above my radio alarm, set the alarm for around 3 ish so when it went off she would look up and see this... well, she gave a wee yell when she looked and saw it, called me all the names under the sun then went back to sleep.

Waylander Posted December 26, 2022 Posted December 26, 2022 When in my 20s had bad hangovers post Christmas Eve drinking fortunately nausea always passed for Xmas dinner. One year my brother got caught out, he played a drinking game called Fuzzy Duck and had a bit of stammer back then and got hammered. Although not normally suffering hangovers as bad as me that day he could not eat Christmas dinner until several hours later on his own in the evening. ,
MUFC Posted December 28, 2022 Author Posted December 28, 2022 Do you keep new years resolutions? Most people I know usually give up on them after a week or two.

Now, which story shall we believe?

You sort of got it right ; it's not dubai, its if your part of the Muslim Faith, you are not allowed to drink. If you are christian (or part of any faith that allows drinking) you can drink wherever you want.
Bandito Burrito Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 Of course like in other countries drunk driving etc isnt allowed.
Devil Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Not a fan of New year's eve, for me the big celebration is the three day Christmas period and the time off I have from work. By the time New years eve comes round I've had enough and I'm ready for a quiet January. It all seems very forced to me, I don't know many people that actually enjoy the hassle of paying triple priced taxi's if you go into town.

More of a Christmas fan nowadays with grandsons around but New Year is just another celebration and that's about it for me and the wife, gone are the days of going around the wife's family and first footing then drifting off to the Miners Club or British Legion to see the New Year in. Me and the wife, her big sis, and her uncle Hughie is all that's left of the 'Clan' this time of the year, sad really, all the other uncles & aunts have passed away and now we have the younger generation taking over of the 'Clan' so they will be what we were doing on years gone by. That's the son with Alexander (grandson) just arrived with some booze and presents as he was ill around Christmas time and could not make it around so a few drinks are now on the cards, our daughter will be calling tomorrow with grandsons in tow to welcome in the new year then that will be us for another year.
Moderator Tommy Posted December 31, 2022 Moderator Posted December 31, 2022 https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/12/30/fireworks-new-years-germany/ I'll never understand how you can spend hundreds of Euros on fireworks and firecrackers. And then they complain about the inflation. People have been queuing like crazy here just to buy that shit.

On one hand, I agree with you, on the other hand, I still love that shit The sounds, the colours, the smell... Yes, it's absolutely silly to spend hundreds of Euros on a 5 minute lights and explosions show in order to celebrate the fact that our planet again made a full orbit around the Sun, and it can be dangerous in wrong hands, but at the same time, it's also fun to watch the show and I'm glad there are people willing to do it
