Booze is solely to get drunk with in my book.
Mine too that's why I drink. I don't go to town to enjoy the taste of beer, I go out to get drunk. The Daily Mail has a really hard time understanding that people drink alcohol to get drunk.
I drink wine, bottle at a time, to get drunk. Sometimes it tastes good, sometimes it taste like crap. Do I care? no. Why? because I get drunk and that was my goal.
My favourite tipple is either a bottle of red or whichever is the cheapest in Asda at the time ( Vodka, Gin or Rum ). Today it's Rum. Mixed with whatever is around. Pepsi Max or lemonade or Dr Pepper. I'd drink it neat but it's lasts all night when mixed.
Soft drinks - Pepsi Max ( Drink more of it than any other liquid )
