Shanks said no Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Half litre of Vodka if I am allowed to use coke that is already in the house, won't get me completely pished but get me close enough. Not really a big wine drinker but if I was allowed to buy rennies as well it would do the job. Interesting experiment to be had here, I am on 2 weeks leave from Friday, so might try it out.

CostaJambo Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Probably 50p on a 2 litre bottle of own brand pop and £9.50 on spirits if it is purely to get pished. Otherwise 2 bottles of £4.99 wine chosen via the vivino app (anything 3.7/5 or above is a winner in my view) would be my preferred choice. Good thread.

muldoon74 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Asda doing 12 330ml bottles Warsteiner (Wobbly for those, who are EX-BAOR) for a tenner. If I don't eat all day 12 bottles will probly give a wee dunt at least. Maybe 3 big bottles of Leffe Blonde £3 each) & wee can of some type of low, brand cocktail from the sugary alcohol section...

Big respect for the out the box thinking - empty stomach could see 3 bottles of Leffe (lovely stuff) and a sugary cocktail (might be lovely, never tried one) do the job and still allow being tucked up in bed by ten at the latest. Just remembered sometimes you can get the Leffe for £2.50 on offer. Edited September 20, 2020 by CostaJambo Frugality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a drink o pish, a free tenner, a bottle of semi decent cognac and £4.51 change. Had worse nights.

Stumble back to school and hide till su day.. 😂😂 Great days... 👍 Edit: as 4th years it was understood you done your underage drinking apprenticeship on the park benches and hidey holes around Stirling.

FWJ Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Depends on what “just a bit pished” means. If it’s ‘take the edge off and feel nicely relaxed’ a single bottle of red would do the trick for me - so I’d spend my tenner on a semi-decent bottle.

IronJambo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 The best full bodied red I can get for my tenner. That'd probably be a cab sauv or a malbec. I'm not getting anything French for that cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
