How Many Dops at the Braai?

[copacetic]

Okay, after reading all this, I'm not too bad. :erm:

 

[Datura]

About four years ago (iirc) I was drinking about 14 or 15 brandy specials (dbl brandy & coke) a night chasing every one with tequila. This was after about four pints to start with. I ended up almost dying from internal bleeding because of that.

One has to wonder, when did it change, when I met Head Office, she knew I drank a lot, more than I am drinking these days, was'nt a problem then..... 20 years down the line it appears to be an issue. Asking her, why does it bother you if I sit at home,have a few beers, watch the game, play a bit of bagpipe music and have a braai, now and again I might have a mate over..... at least I am not out prowling the bars looking for some slut through beer goggles and I ain't driving, I ain't an abusive drunk, I don't bitch slap her around, don't swear at her, in fact when I am drunk, I love everybody....

The guys in the office reckons that it boils down to jealousy, she is jealous coz, you're having a good time..... thoughts?

I reckon they start worrying about your health - after all, when you get to your 40's getting old starts becoming very real - in your twenties you think you'll live forever....now, not so much.

I think I see the root of your problem

Mmmh! Well I don't do this every weekend, I have cut back at least 70 % since 3 years ago.... this does not mean that I consume less beer per sitting, it means that instead of getting pissed every Friday,Saturday , I now only perform this ritual 2 or three nights a month.... When I first met Head Office, I was Drinking, Monday - Nothing, Tuesday - Snooker and Darts Club,Wednesday - Gun Club, Thursday - Nothing, Friday - The Don/Angling Club, Saturday - Snooker Darts, Sunday - Gun CLub... Head Office made me cut back, also I dumped 2 cases of beer in the Beach Buggy, when dune riding in the desert (a couple of times) almost killed myself because somebody removed dunes in the week, So now I mostly suip at home or if I get invited somewhere where I can walk from.....

I think HO was more ticked off that you were never home you street child

A tea or three during the braai, glass of water and maybe, just maybe if the family is visiting, a Pepsi or Coke.

Stepping out, those must be rough nights

Mmmh! Considering that I am Scottish and head office was born in England, you might be onto something here.....

@ "the ritual".

I also only drink at home, or if I'm drinking at someone else's place then my HO is usually with to drive me home.

I drink only beer, none of that cider k.ak, brandy, whiskey, nothing. Only beer!

Agreed, but now that I am home, she is always trying to ship me off, "Why don't you go to your boets to watch the rugger?" or " I hear the music playing over at the neighbours , why don't you pop over?" or " The POH (place of Happiness( lekker pub in the middle of the desert)) is open tonight , why don't you go?" Then if I take the bait, come home in the wee hours, she won't talk to me me for 2.75 days (I worked it out) and then I gotta guess why she's pissed with me...... true story, last desert drink, was silence for 4.3 days, so I took two of the offspring , hopped into the car, crossed the border and went on holiday to my in laws for a holiday.... after 3 days she missed me , and I could return home....

Should I stay or should I go..... just easier getting pissed at home.... except I need a bigger beer fridge...

Who has a fridge at their house just dedicated to beer? I currently have 15 x 440ml WHK Draught bottles, 12 x 440ml WHK Draught Cans, 8 x Guinness Cans and 2 x 330ml Tafel Lager, just in case.......

 

[Noob-Noob]

My HQ fired me...., now i have to drive home by myself, luckily i drive a merc, you just watch the V and make sure the white line does not cross it

On a serious note, Mortymoose, you live in Namibia?, i kuiered a few times there close to the border, man i love that country, sitting in the Kalahari between those sand dunes, braaing ribs....

Man, ja nee......

Julle manne drink seker al.....en hier moet ek sit nog tot 5uur.....

 

[AnibugZA]

I weigh 143 kg.....

You swim 40min a day every day of the week, yet you still weigh a staggering 143kgs? :erm:
Try drinking less beer - that exercise might actually be worth something then.

You lot are all crazy. I barely drink. There are so many other healthier (not to mention better tasting) alternatives available.

I think you should cut back on drinking Wife is just worried about you probably and feels that you prefer drinking than her company. Idk women are crazy

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Some of you people have some serious drinking problems

I used to all drink a lot in my younger days, but these days I'll have 4 or 5 beers or a bottle of wine tops.

Not me but went the home of people I know from the pub one night and this guys ballie which is like 70 (has his own side of the house) had a full size fridge stacked full off beer, the beers were lying on their sides like wine bottles and just stacked one on top of the other. If the beers ever had to come tumbling out the ballie would be crushed under the weight I reckon

Yep!Yep! Reside in a town just North of the border on the coast, Oranjemund..... Been here most of my life, save for the fact of attending boarding school in CPT and a few years drifting between, Windhoek, Kimberley, Cullinan...

Loving it ups here, 2nd lowest pop density in the world..... good beer, Excellent meat...... what more could a man want..... Oh! and the ADSL , well she works allright....

Thing is I genuinely love the taste of an ice cold beer. I live a pretty healthy life, drink water, fruit juice, no hard liquor, no caffeine or soft drinks, eat properly, get exercise so i'm not to concerned about my beer consumption.

The Head Office and I work together, 7 days a week.... See each other all the time.... Oh! and I suppose it does'nt help that Head Office does not drink, does not like rugby, prefers a quiet house...... perhaps a blessing in disguise...
