It's too sweet for me too. Far too easy to drink.

Just finished 4 bottles of Crabbie's alcoholic ginger beer. Very nice ginger taste although you wouldn't know it was 4% alc. Will definitely be getting more of that occasionally as a treat.

Yeah that's the trouble with alcopops

Yea, too drinkable by half. Back on the Magners now..

Good. At least it tastes like alcohol.

Will see if that store has Magners cider tomorrow.
Can’t decide if I should splurge on the 32% thc weed at dispensary.It’s pricey at 38$ an 1/8th.Or I could get the 25% for 12$ an 1/8th.So many choices.So little money.

A major shake-up of the way alcohol is taxed could leave many drinks costing more from Tuesday.

Under what the Treasury says are new "common-sense" principles, tax is being levied according to a drink's strength.

Duty will increase overall, with most wines and spirits seeing rises, but will fall on lower-alcohol drinks and most sparkling wine.

Taxes on draught pints will not change, an additional measure designed to support pubs.

Alcohol duties have been frozen since 2020. These changes were originally scheduled for February this year but were postponed by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt as the cost-of-living crisis continued.

Now with prices still rising, though at a slower rate, the government is going ahead with a 10.1% rise in alcohol duties, and is also overhauling the system.

So, 44p more for a bottle of red wine..

Yeah I saw that this morning

Got the cider.Pricey here at $12.50 a six pack of bottles plus tax.It’s delicious but will be a treat once a month.

Wish I could join you there Misslizard

I’d share my ciders and you could choose a variety of weed to smoke.I have four different kinds and two vape cartridges.
Got an OZ and a 1/4 plus the cartridges for $161.My stash for the month.
Didn’t get the strong stuff.Gotta stick to a budget.Most is around 25% and I use a one hitter.

Mmmm cider. It's been a minute since I got any of that, but I always enjoy it when I do get it. Tasty stuff that.

I got myself some Baileys tonight. I love the stuff. Give me a bottle of Baileys and some crushed ice and I'm a happy camper. Half the time I can't justify the cost of it, but I got a break on a couple of bills this month so I had extra cash, and was like wth..it's on.

Bought a case of hibiscus, pomegranate and lime wine (yuk!)
A bottle of JD (also yuk)
Jameson dry and lime premix cans (don't really like premix)
And a bottle of Bundaberg Rum (meh)
Now I have to get something I can drink.

I was going to say "That was quick!"

Aren't you still making gin?

Have about 6 bottles of gin made
