The Alcohol Thread

[FloorFiller]

haven't yet tried it but i've heard great things. just hope i can find something decent to mix it with at the festival

[Firesprice]

OK so its 6th Glasto or thereabouts and for the first time I am going to go with only a (decanted) bottle of rum.  I normally take a 3l box of wine but I had an unfortunate accident with that today. i normally take a crate of beer too, but with experience I just think its too much hassle...plus I dont like warm beer. So essentially my strategy is simply to buy booze onsite, it might be more expensive, but it will be cold and convenient. Plus Glastonbury is the highlight of my year, so to hell with the $$$

30 cans o' lager

Sprite?!!? What's wrong with plain lemonade, get you!!

I know its a typo

do you have to empty the JD into plastic containers or do they generally not care??

Decant into plastic bottles.

definitely decant! no glass on site

 

 

 

in 2013 it was the one year anniversary of the death of a friend of our groups, and on the Sunday we were all sat up at Stone Circle and my friend pulled out a bottle of champagne so we could all have a drink for him. it was a very touching affair with a lot of tears, but all i could think of through the whole thing was 'she's brought fucking glass!'

[Tuna]

24 Adnams southwold bitter

2L of (red) wine

1L of spiced rum

500ml of fireball

This is gonna be fun isn't it?

I'll also point out that the Kopparbergs are cans.

20 cans of Old Speckled Hen

1L Morgan Spiced Rum

70cl Havana Club 3yr

50cl Galliano

 

Plus I've got some dregs of boxed wine and rum that may make the trip

[Untz]

Still haven't bought the beer. We want 24 cans and the cheapest local place that sells it is an off licence. Not sure they'll be impressed we're taking all/most of their stock, if they even have that much.

[Gucci Piggy]

36 cans of Stella (I'm from Donny, leave it)

1l sherbet lemon vodka

1l Morgan's spiced

Will buy mixers there and I'll buy cold pints through the day with this being my first festival where I'm not unemployed (I'll try not to think about the fact I currently have -£750 in my bank account).

[Gucci Piggy]

Also, what's the best approach for buying mixers there? Would feel a bit cheeky going to an ice cream van or something and taking loads of their cans of coke. Some people have mentioned convenience stores?

[Bradders]

80 cans of Fosters

 

That's it. Can't afford anything nice. I'm going to the festival with no money to my name whatsoever :/

There was one up near the park last year with 1.5l bottles for £3 I think.

[Anderson19]

The ice cream vans are probably more interested in selling the 500ml pop bottles than they are the ice creams so no need to feel as though you are taking the stock.

[Guest]

I went for 3 litres of boring Smirnoff with some boring cranberry juice and a few crates of boring Kopparberg. I used to be a maverick, you know, I'd turn up with a milk cartoon full of the crazy rum my mate made himself, with some cans of Ting to mix it with.

[Tuna]

Rum and ting ya get me?

[Keithy]

Litres of gin, homebrewed raspberry gin, some rum and bit of port for bedtime

[sloseph]

has anyone tried the Westons Wyld Wood Organic Cider?

 

I've got serious booze paranoia, when I try to order Tree Shaker online it's showing as not available so it's given me the fear that i'm not going to be able to get any

 

is the Westons one any good? in my head it's going to taste like old rosey which is nice in a pint but not for 5 days in a row

[august1]

nisa doing 18 cans of coors, or carling cider for £6.99 if anyone has one local.
