Treat yourself to a bottle of Wainwright ale when you're next at Tesco mate. You will enjoy it.

Well Judd, that's Bliar all over isn't it? You can't tell me he didn't have a good skinful when he was in his college rock band!

Good man. Nothing wrong with a few sociables
I'm restricted to one pint of bitter and a Becks Blue zero alcohol drink at the moment due to my hernia issue. Golly, I'll be celebrating when that's sorted out!

I keep forgetting this is in General Chat. Don't let them know I've been posting in here whatever hapoens. We'll never hear the end of it. The finger-waggers will be out in force!

Hi Floydy, I've never carried water on any run I've ever done....Except long (42 mile and over) fell runs. I have taken water from the drinks stations on marathons and half marathons, and in hot weather Mrs Fox has occasionally accompanied me on her bike and carried water for me while I was running fifteen and twenty milers while training on a Sunday morning. But generally in training, anything less than thirteen miles doesn't require a drink until the end.

It always amuses me when I see local runners doing three and four milers in the cool weather clutching litre bottles of water.....Mind you.....They listen to music as well....... Daft buggers!

Concerning the odd pint Floydy, I've always been a driver, especially when I was couriering. I took a lot of jobs from drinkers on Saturday nights because they had had a drink, I was on call 24/7....
And then delivering the post required a clear head at five in the morning...


Drinking the night before a run is not recommended....Dehydration occurs, and worse.
So I guess I just grew out of the habit of drinking....
Very low on my list of priorities now behind a McDonalds Burger.....

They don't stock plonk on the liquor shelves here in the states. At least I have never seen any item labeled Plonk

Re: Are you a tea totaller?

I can drink like a fish but I have gone right off booze. If I have a drink it becomes a habit. I need one every day as a treat. I envy those who are happy to drink in moderation. I will probably have something at Christmas and New Year but long periods of teetotalling in between seems good for the liver particularly when you are so pickled that you no longer get hangovers so it's no longer a deterrent.

Re: Are you a tea totaller?

Moderation is a strange concept in anything, as a person has to go in search of a couple of extremists, at either and of a scale, to quantify it.
