Hmmm. The morning after. Pounding head, dicky belly, the squits, and the urge to never do that again...

Evening comes, fully recovered, and it's 'Miller Time'.


It's not really all that good is it? I enjoy a drink myself from time to time. Last night in fact. I had my fair few drinks of Absolute vodka and coca cola. I had a drink as I fancied one seeing as it was Saturday night.....


Yesterday morning, I went to pick up the kids. I say kids, my 2 lads are 19 next month and my daughter is 16. Her mam (my ex-wife) collared me to tell me what has been going on. My daughter, who started college doing a plastering course, has been getting quite drunk on high strength cider. This in turn causes havoc with her usual mild natured character. So much so that her mum and boyfriend, are on the brink of kicking her out. Of course, I'd take her in in a flash but she'd have to sleep on the couch as this place simply has no room. Strict talking with her improves the situation for a day or two but soon, she's back on the alcohol, swearing at her mum, treating her boyfriend as if he doesn't exist, and pretty much treating the house as a hotel. Scraping up any money she can for smokes and booze.

Ironically, when with me, she's fine. The same daughter I've always known. Polite, shy, intelligent and warm. As if for some reason that she leads 2 totally different lives. A home life, and a life for dad. So yesterday, it was 'kick up the backside' day for her. As with my lads, once she hits 16, and from 1st Sept, the money I paid her mum for her upkeep, child support of maintenance, whatever you wish to call it, I was going to give it to my daughter in the hand. My lads adjusted to this quite well and have developed a good attitude towards money. My daughter on the otherhand, I daren't give her any money as I'm semi-convinced that she will blow it on booze and fags.

My mum says that it's not an end of the world situation. My mum knows what sort of home life my daughter has and said to me that she doesn't blame her (my daughter) for playing up. Sally too, when she was this age, dabbled in booze and fags. In fact, for Sally, she was doing it at a much earlier age. And like with my daughter, it was down to home life. Sally's dad having a monster of a girlfriend.

Anyways, yesterday, I decided to do something that is pretty much bribery. Something I thought I'd never have to do, but I've decided to pay my daughter like a weekly wage. That is dependent on her behaviour. If she's good, she gets the money. If she isn't she loses it that week (well, it gets banked as I still see this money as not being mine, and she'll get a payout at 18 or when she's back to her old self). Of course, it's dependent on her mother texting me once a week telling me the state of play. Of course, what her mum deems as unacceptable, I may not.

I know she has a problem. But I'm not sure it's really as big as what her mum makes out. She simply doesn't like her mums boyfriend. Simply refusing to acknowledge his existence. Personally, I'm not saying it's right, but this IS her choice and all I say to her, is to maybe accept things just to keep the peace. And that she doesn't have to like it. And of course when he tells her what to do, and tells him 'No', her mum takes his side thus breaking up my daughters relationship to her mother.

I guess if I'm honest, my daughter is doing OK for herself for once. A good college course and soon, some money in her pocket. I'm just affraid that she's gonna piss it all up the wall and ruin it all for herself. At heart, she's a good kid. But she hates her homelife. And I believe the alcohol is nothing more than an escape from it all.

[jamesb99_1999]

To be honest my ex had real issues with the kids - Josh when he was 16 and his was laziness and drinking (potentially casual drug use) and just basically taking the piss.. It's a stage they all go through ( I probably did too) but you are absolutely right with what you say - the odds are she will get though it as we all did... Linking payment to good behaviour might sound like bribery but really it's simply responsibility in my book so I think you are doing 100% the right thing..

I've not really been in to drinking myself for a few years though (and never really was if I'm honest as I do not like the taste of alcohol).... If I do drink it's binge drinking, but I either get no hangover at all - or the worst hangover it's possible to get....

[Deano]

Still smoking and just coming round after a big night.Didn't have a great deal to drink but not much to eat,which makes it worse.
Always been told not to mix your drinks.Not quite sure what this meant.Always thought of lager then a short and so on was mixing your drinks.
Mixed lagers last night and feel proper bad.
Kronenburg,Fosters then Carling.What a bad mix lol
My head is not mine and God help the toilet!
Keeping to one brand in future and posting this as a message to anyone silly enough to mix their drinks.

If you even think of postng a piccy of your bog including contents, I'll slap you with this rounders bad that I pinched from Ady.

[Zoltar]

I think you have a point with the 'mixing drinks' statement. I always thought it meant that you're best off sticking to one type of drink. Like drinking nothing but lager, or nothing but cider. But you can become just as ill on a pub crawl around the town doing just that.

Different lagers from different pubs can be just as harmful on the stomach. Although you can reduce the effects by sticking to one particular brewer. Like stick to pubs that serve Stella and drink that all evening.

But even then, thats still no guarantee. I know for a fact around Hull City Centre, pubs fly through their stock of beers. Theres no care taken in the cellar to allow barrels to stand and settle. And most pubs, would never think twice about serving the dreggs from a barrel or the few poor pints from a newly changed barrel.

I've found that the pubs in the burbs, out of town centres on the estates, tend to serve cracking beer. Well looked after as it takes longer to empty a barrel. Customers are respected and appreciated so the beer is looked after to keep customers happy, often a barrel put in place ready for use a great deal of time before the older one runs out.

I drink bitter and ales and poor cellar management shows up more with real ales. If a cellarman is crap, the pub could well go to the wall.

But town centres, flowing guaranteed trade, they don't care about the beer as they don't care about you. The paying customer.

You'll probably find that a fair bit of all the puking and vomiting around town centres is caused by poor beers rather than people not being able to handle their ale. And if a pub really looks after its beers, hand pulled cask stuff, you'll find the hangover the following morning to be much less extreme and sometimes, hardly noticable. The shite they put in electric pumped beers doesn't do your hangover any favours.

Just starting to come round after an evening out round Barnsley with the Mother in law and her hubby, Jesus that woman can drink...i started the evening a large bloody mary,with as i always do just to kickstart the stomach, and spent the rest of the night on various forms of bitter, the mother in law was downing 2 to my 1 as was her hubby, the wife was on Black russian doubles...finished up at a pub in Monk brettton which had "afters", and managed to crawl home at 3am...2 pints of water before me and the missus settled down...Awoke with no hangover, and just enjoyed a hearty full english before the off to work...seems we have arranged to do the same tonight...why do we agree to anything when you are pissed...im not buying rounds tonight.

Sounds a great night RB and the same again tonight. Cant believe you not got a hangover lol.
Our lass suggested a meal close to home. We have tried the Crown in Barnborough, the Pastures and our local the Highwayman but wanted somewhere different.
Whats Marr Lodge like these days? Not been there for a long time and you must have frequented it on your travels.

[RB]

Its quite, younguns usually start there before heading into town. so its usually quite by 9.00pm. Beers about average, meals are good and the daily roast is only £3.95 per head but only available between 12noon and 3pm at that price. Nick and Lucy always make you feel welcome.The Black Sheep Bitter is worth a try if you partial to real ale. The ship inn at Newington is always worth a visit.

[Deano]

Cheers RB.Had to google it though never heard of that one before.Seems quite a distance but will pop in sometime in the future.
If ever you are up our end the Highwayman has recently been took over.The carvery is superb(BIGOF) at about £10.Excellent choice in food from an extensive menu.They took out all the kiddie stuff to allow more room for tables and chairs,so more of an adult type of pub.
They do draught Stella as well:bigeyes20:

[Deano]

What better time to open this thread back up lol.

You don't half put a smile on my face Deano with your posts. Why can't everyone express themselves in such a dignified manner as yourself.

I'm on vodka and tropical juice. Been on those all day. I always have the role of cooking christmas dinner and for a change, we had one of those turkey crown things instead of a normal turkey. Sure, they cost a few quid more, but no chance of carving the turkey and finding a melted bag of giblets I forgot to remove lol.

The roasties came out great after being roasted in the turkey crown juices and fat. Infact, I pretty much got this years dinner spot on for the first time in like 5 years. Nothing burnt, nothing hard and uncooked, and nothing stewed and overcooked.
