DRINK!

[Restimar]

Asked it in the Questions subforum but thought it was worth asking here too: Anyone know if you can buy tonic water on-site, and for how much? G&T's my drink of choice and ideally I'd like to be able to avoid bringing mixer with me to save weight. However if it's impossible to get ahold of - or prohibitively expensive - I may have to reconsider.

I made some worthers original vodka a few years back and it was delightful.... So delightful that i completley forgot about a mixer and drank 70cl straight without even thinkin.... Needless to say i wasnt standing for much longer!

The key mistake there is white wine - without carrying a cool box around all weekend you will be having it warm

I'm not sure there's been a Monday in years I've not seen a group of girls trying to stomach the last alcohol - the white wine they gave up on on Thursday. Easy pitfall it appears!

I opted for rose wine, a small improvement on warm white. If worst comes to worst I'll drink it with lemonade

I've frozen boxes of white wine before and it's been fine, I usually drink a small glass before freezing to aloe for expansion.

I did the same with a raspberry flavoured vodka and lost the best part of 6 hours and woke up face down inside my tent fully clothed. felt very sheepish the next day around my friends.

Have a look at their online shopping site, the deals are all the same as in store .

Couple of days ago I checked where was cheapest. For vodka I think it was tesco £16

A litre of captain Morgans spiced is 16 quid is tesco at the moment

Just taking spirits in with me this time. One litre of vodka. That's it. Ciders from the bar.

Nice and simple.

Is flavoured gin nice? I've never tried it but might give it a go with berries

Normally I'd just do beer but it's going to be a lot of weight to carry and it'll take up a lot of space on the coach.

Give sloe gin a try (make it yourself or buy it) its perfect for a hip flask, very easy to drink straight because the sloe berries are so sweet.

i'm considering this this year to lessen the load coming in to the festival. whilst i love cracking open a beer, carrying a crate of them always absolutely fucks me (and takes up valuable space)

That's what I'm going to do as well.

After last years Titp. Where I took three crates of beer with me and my trolley broke. I vowed to myself I'd never do that ever again.

[Dora]

Any beer that we buy now will be drunk by next weekend. That why I`ll be doing mine the week before

[jakep]

perrys 20L kegs of cider just down the road from me , probably 3 of them between our group and a nice vodka and mixer for myself for when the cider gets too monotonous.

MUST BUY TROLLEY THIS YEAR.

[Untz]

1 bottle of spirits, 2x 3l boxes of Westons, 24x cans of something for two people.

I'll buy some Brothers and plenty of cocktails when I'm there.

It will all be gone by Sunday, apart from the spirits which never get finished.

I take all this on a trolley by coach. National Express love it.

[Keithy]

Sorting out my raspberry gin tonight, ready for drinking in 3 months.

Wine order will shortly be placed from my wine bank.

[brightyoungthing]

2 litres of Jack Daniels, maybe a case of fruity cider for breakfast.... no more though, extra weight for warm cans just doesn't seem worthwhile! I'll buy beer there!

[POKERDUDE]

I see a lot of 'I'll buy beer/cider there', so there must be an off licence there, where is that? I didn't see it last year, is it reasonably priced?

I think they mean from the bars on site

[Anderson19]

I always vow to not take much then up carting crates and crates with me!

Anyone have any experience of taking Bitter? Or am I going to end up with a load of flat cans after the trek from car!

[jed123]

4l flavoured vodka, 4l amaretto, crate of beer and crate of cider: plenty of options and decent enough alcohol to share with others!
