Christmas Day Drinking (bump from 2011)

northstandsteve

I'm cooking for 11 christmas day, so no trip to the pub for me, but I will commence boozing approx 11am with a couple of bottles of bud, then it will be straight on to the Isla Negra red whilst cooking and eating dinner. After that has gone down the port will be opened with a nice piece of St Augur with Carrs water biscuits. After approx 2 bottles will probably finish up the a few scotches.

So fellow lifers what is your christmas day drinking schedule ?

After presents unwrapped, starts with Amaretto and ice for me, Baileys and ice for my wife.

 

While cooking going on, probably a bottle or two of Peroni.

 

Bottle of Montepulciano with dinner ... later on some vintage port.

Bexley Dan

low key xmas this year with just the mother in law joining us but will sneak up the club up the road for the 12 - 2 session. Back for dinner, a few glasses of wine and probably finish the day with a few more. Boxing day is when all my family come round and thats when christmas gets started properly!

Sorry - missed the all important detail - real ale up the club - probably Edmunds or Tribute and then probably red Wolf Blass Cabernet Sauvignon with dinner and thereafter.

Hit the Olde Black Horse for a few like Dan about 12 -2.

Saga Lout

We'll start with sparkling wine with or without orange juice whilst the meal is cooked. Nice bottle of red with main course, sweet white with the pud, followed by brandy, port, Bailey's, etc (not all in the same glass). Hmmm... where to fit the beer in? Oh yes - there's always the evening and Boxing Day.

Chirpy Red

I will start with a glass or two of M&S's De Saint Gall Grand Cru Vintage champagne. In my opinion the best around.

 I'll have that with my breakfast of Deviled Kidneys, scallops and scrambled egg. Then I'll have a few 1/2's of whatever I have in my Firkin, whilst cooking dinner (Forerib of beef). Had Adnams Broadside last year, get it from The Bitter End in Bromley.

I usually like to sample a variety of alcoholic drinks on Christmas Day . Start with a fizz of some sort around breakfast time then crack on with a few bottled lagers about 11ish . Down the juicer for midday and start with my annual pint of guiness swfitly followed by 2/3 Stellas and if time and a bottle of cider . To accompany dinner , a room temperature bottle of red followed by 2/3 large vintage ports . A brief lull then its back on the lager and by evening anything goes really including baileys , campari and choclate liquers . Wallop .

The home brew is due to be ready christmas day, so I'll have 40 pints to drink.

Nice port mid morning, (hopefully bought for Xmas) a couple of beers with lunch, probably Erdinger or Asahi. Glass of asti with dessert. Another port with cheese afterwards. A break till evening then onto some sparkling, a few cherry brandy's then pray the kids fall asleep before i do.

Macronate

Bucks fizz mid-morn before departing to the pub for dinner where it will be lager & wine time. Back to her sisters for more lager & wine before enjoying my new found friend-skittle bombs.

That's the spirit Clem. Bah Humbug ;0)

none probably, usually sweating like a pregnant nun by then and sick of the sight of the stuff

Chunes

First drink - Champagne / Prosecco. It's christmas.

Second drink - Guinness. Lay a base. Flatten down the bubbles.

Third to eighth drink - Premium European Lager

Ninth drink and onwards - Single malt

This will inevitably be interrupted as some chump always whacks the Bailey's out at Christmas.

I like an egg nog and have an Advocaat over ice all over the festive season. That's not weird is it ?

This is how i start my Christmas Day but you missed the the cup of tea laced with whiskey or brandy first thing in the morning as you clutch your forehead repeating the immortal words "never again" because you spent Christmas eve getting plastered.
