Duterte accepts responsibility for war on drugs.

My mother and father liked alcohol, put me off for life.
Vive la difference

It will never be a real party without alcohol! My son doesn’t drink at all because his parents are both drinkers!

Stoners say the same about a party without weed, heroin addicts say the same about a party without brown, coke users say the same............
Et al.
I say the same about tea and biccies

Puts you off alcohol for life

Don't take this personally, Druk1, but it would be interesting if you went to a party where everyone was drinking alcohol. If you whipped out your teapot and rich tea, you would have many people trying to rope you into their stumbling madness.

I used to love being with many people and sharing whatever "poison" everybody was into.
Some of the funniest moments and memories in my life were of nights like that.
But, as I said, kids came along

I sat with my late wife as she died in hospital--aged 58; alcoholic liver disease. I like to think i can control my drinking. Who am i kidding ?

I don't do peer pressure, I was in a pub in Slough last Friday as some guys I know from sunderland are working on the roads there, you can see my coffee mug alcohol would be a poison to me, I don't need any such crap in my life, never saw the attraction of it, nor ciggies, nor heroin, but I ain't going to pontificate to anyone who wants or needs it, their bodies their choice. My friends were all inebriated last week, one of them wanted to fight an Indian gent he was convinced was staring at him I found it all quite strange and stuck to my latte.

I have tried to stop drinking alcohol many times over here. Just can't sleep if I don't have any booze. Longest I have been without booze is 3 weeks but I have had a fever for the first week.
My excuse is the warm humidity conditions. If I was back in the cold dank UK I may probably stop, couldn't afford to drink over there anyway.

I used to be a big drinker, now I can do without it as it’s not easy to drink alone! We both drink occasionally now.

I'v cut down a lot but I need my Tanduay fix every night.

2018 - Tanduay overtakes Bacardi as the world's best selling rum.

What is Tanduay like compared to Bacardi, Jim?

The video shows the cocktail being made.
I bet only a few in the Philippines would bother making Tanduay this way

That is a worse case scenario, bigmac.
You've passed that age so, bonus!

I had a couple of gin/bitter lemon drinks last night as I am not driving trucks for 36 hours.
I haven't drunk alcohol for years but have the occasional one now that I am back "in the saddle" again.

Oh! That Tanduay! It reminds me of my late Dad! He drinks Tanduay every day too! He has to have at least half of the flat bottle or he wouldn’t be able to sleep!

There's different qualities of Tanduay, depending on the age. I drink the 5 year old stuff with diet coke and ice. You can get 15 year old Tanduay. Comparing it with Bacardi! Not had Bacardi for more than 20 years .
I would not know the difference.
Filipinos drink it straight but have a glass of water to swill it down with.

I drink the long neck but I make it last for a week. 75 cl bottle.

I'v never smoked, filthy habit. I was so glad when they banned smoking in pubs.

You used to be able to buy a ton of rolling tobacco for around £450,a small manual machine to process or shred it, could have had a lifetimes smokables for less than a bag of sand.
