As I've recently been made redundant again, I've decided to become an alcoholic. What alcoholic beverages do you recommend? I'm talking spirits here, none of your real ale or Chateau Neuf de urine wine. I want individual spirits not generic gin or vodka.

At present I love Single Malt Whisky because I'm a snob although I realise as I become more alcoholic I will be less picky. Current fave is Bruichladdich 'The classic Laddie' its an Islay but it's not peaty. £35 at Tesco with a Clubcard.

OK Go


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

Any litre blended whisky that you can usually pick up for £16.99 should do the trick. Always remember to save half a pint for breakfast.

Been to that distillery and had a tot or two. Not a big whisky lover but it's included in the tour.

It's ok to start on something of that calibre, but you will find as your dependence grows and your bank balance diminishes, Spar brand brandy will do the trick.

I know I'm a weirdo but I only like drinking shorts with a mixer, I need to get myself out of that disgusting habit and start drinking it neat.

Went the last year without a drink because of my heart operation.

Back on the vodka now plus the odd bottle of wine.

Is that because you're so drunk that you keep dropping them?

Tobermory is quite nice, I’m not a big fan of whiskey but I make an exception for Tobermory, I first tasted it when visiting Mull, we went around the distillery and after tasting it I bought a bottle.


Grimsby and proud!
