Just 36 cans of brother festival cider for me and a couple of bottles of Strongbow for the queue/Tuesday night carpark.

In 2009 I drank a whole box of wine to myself on the Sunday evening so I became a dribbling wreck during Blur. Some kind person helped me back to my tent. When I tried to introduce him to my friends all their names escaped me. Won't be making that mistake again.

Between me and the wife we usually take:

32 cans of lager/cider

3l of red wine

70cl vodka

Bottle of Taboo (which I ridicule her for buying then end up drinking most of myself)

By the Sunday, we usually have a lot of wine and vodka left!

Might phase out the bottle of vodka this year and get a less strong spirit. By Sunday it all gets a bit Lord of the Flies, especially 2009 when I started drinking neat vodka during Status Quo and was absolutely shapeless. Luckily I realised how hammered I was during Nick Cave and stopped drinking - unlike my wife who has absolutely no memory of Blur whatsoever (she is gutted about this!).

If you're flagging and finding it difficult to start drinking (especially in the morning), red wine mixed 50/50 with coke goes down really well, as previously mentioned (the Spanish call it calamatro though I'm not sure that's spelt right!).

24 cans of magners seemed to be fine for me last year, but i ended up buying a lot at the bar so thats why i didnt run out.

Plus i seemed to drink water more than beer last year due to the weather.... Previous years ive taken a couple of liters of vodka and various mixers.

If I were you judge what you drink in a night and times it by the days youll be there. Then the rest will be drunk at the bars!

I have:

20l of Old Rosie Cider

1 Gallon of Knights Cider

70cl bottle of Glenfiddich

Random collection of cans left over from the bbq last week which will be used for drinking in queue to get in and while pitching tent.

That will do me.

    • My Orange car park ticket turned up today. The envelope looked like some kind of junk mail offering me a loan so I nearly didn't open it!
    • There is a bunch of TBC acts on Deftones day, according to APE insta. The obvious guesses are Fiddlehead, Nothing, Dynamite and Make Way, "Outbreak" artists playing the night before. The question is more about how are they are gonna fit in on three big stages.    is 
    • SURELY Reel Big Fish will be here? 
    • Sam Fender, Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter is a very bland set of headliners. Commercially successful and makes plenty of sense, but it wouldn't be very inspirising. That said I want a band like Green Day to headline so who am I to say what exciting is.    
    • Potentially rogue shout here but could see Rebecca Black in the running for a mid-afternoon spot. I know most people still remember her for Friday but lately she’s been putting out a lot of fun pop bangers, think this could be a very fun booking!
