    A couple of bottles of Buck’s Fizz with breakfast. No 1 son and I have sampled the whisky presents (a Bowmore 12 yr old, a Caol Isla 12 year old and a Gentleman Jack). A brief snooze and lunch will be accompanied by a Musselpot Sauvignon Blanc and a Cabalié. Then the whiskies will no doubt come into play again. Hic.

    Already done a bottle of English Sparkling Wine for morning cocktails, these for dinner, wondering what to have until the food’s on the table.

    Couple of glasses of champagne earlier, now on Hoegaarden until lunch. Wine with dinner, followed by Kir Royals. Not sure what we’re having later but probably more beer and maybe Cointreau

    For me - a glass of something red and full bodied that I am yet to pick from the rack.

    wife will be burying a bottle of Reisling currently in the fridge

    mother in law will undoubtedly be mine-sweeping anything that’s open

    father in law will be demolishing my cider collection 

    Kids will be buzzing on something carbonated

    Started with a warninks advocaat (is this only ever drunk at Christmas?) as trying to introduce the kids to alcohol and this was my entry point (apart from my Grandads Long Life).

    then onto Hofmeister Keg with brother in law. Will move on to wine for dinner after which I will become the Christmas grinch and count down the hours until everyone f*cks off.

    A bottle of Timothy Taylor’s just been opened for my first of the day. Some decent Rioja is not too far behind.

    A bottle of Caballié, a red Laithwaite's staple, and very drinkable. Christmas pudding still to come so about to open a chilled half bottle of Rivesaltes. Lovely.

    Don’t usually like the 0% but had a Shipyard 0% a couple of weeks ago and barely noticed the difference

    Yeah the market has massively moved on and guinness was the one I thought I would miss but this is great stuff. Expect in next 5 years there'll be the odd non alc draft pump in pubs as seems to be a big demand.

    Bucks fizz mid morning, champers with lunch, half a dozen beers through the day and a Baileys last night. Realised about 11.30 last night I’d not drunk anything non-alcoholic since 10am, so had a cup of tea that was probably my most enjoyable drink of the day!

    Despite my wife telling me otherwise I didn’t think I was that bad yesterday. That was until just now when I was turned away from the East Stand turnstyle because I booked the West Lower by mistake.

    The good news is I’m in the right area, just the opposite side of the stadium.

    The bad news is I’ve paid £33 for a restricted view seat.
