I used to drink significantly more than was good for me,but then the hangovers kicked in.I really miss red wine but it gives me such a migraine I avoid it like the plague,
If I do have a drink now I have a long Vodka and diet coke.or Bellinis which I just love,prosecco and white peach puree,can substitute champagne for prosecco.and any peaches you can find.Utterly decadent but so yummy.I dicovered them while on a truly idyllic visit to Venice,sat in St.Marks square watching the world go by.I have made them for a few people since I have been here and so far everyone has become hooked.Can highly recommend.
Just be careful as they go down very easily!!!!
I also love a very English drink called Pimms no.1 with lemonade,it reminds me of English summers when I lived in the country side.
I don,t drink at parties anymore as I find some people make such strong drinks,so intead I have one before I leave as I am so shy,then stick to soft drinks.
The first party I went to here my drink was permanantly topped up by the hostess, and the consequeces the next day,would have made the death of a thousand cuts seem like an easy option,
It sems a million years ago that I would go out drinking all night,then in to a 9.00am lecture,no problem.Youth is definitely wasted on the young!!!!!!!!!!
