What are you drinking right now?

I know this is going to sound really dim and something a 21 old person should know by now but I'll ask it anyway.

You know how people say 'don't mix your drinks?' Well I've always thought that meant don't mix a Fosters with a WKD or something, but the other night I was drinking Fosters/Kronenberg/Becks etc and they were badgering at me for 'mixing my drinks.' I didn't have that much of a hangover the next day so I think I'm right here but I'd like to see what the general consensus is on this.

I tend to agree with you. IMO the general rule is don't mix 'grape and grain' - in other words don't have a glass of red wine followed by a lager... it doesn't make for a happy combination. :sick: Switching from 'beers' to spirits generally isn't a good idea either. Personally I've found that going from one spirit to another isn't a problem, eg Vodka... Southern Comfort... Jack Daniels, but I know if I was to then have a bottle of lager or glass of wine, it'd floor me. >_<

I wouldn't class moving from lager to lager as 'mixing.'

Switching between wine / spirits / beer is what I'd class it as, and, in my experience, is what produces tremendous hang overs.

Switching from some beers to other beers does have an adverse affect in my opinion but only if your drinking in the sort of qualities that will give you a hangover any way.

Switching beers is not going to be the difference between you getting a hangover and not getting one.

90% of the time I'll pre-drink on beer but never have beer when I'm out and I regularly throw in a couple of shots of sambuca whilst my main drink for the night is probably a vodka and coke.

mixing spirits can be risky but unless you're drinking hard stuff and in volume which is in any case giving you a hangover, the difference is minimal.

Ditto.

I was always confused about 'mixing'. Usually do it every time I drink but I get worse hangovers from just drinking beer for a whole night.

Cocktails as well, that's mixing and we had a party the other night and I got quite a mild hangover despite nailing about 12 different spirits.

Water as I am on a health kick haha, I realised the other day that I've not had a single night this year where I've not drank or smoked it up

I have a week off from work as it is the school holidays and the childcare costs are ****ing extortionate for a whole week for the 3 cherubs. As it is not a school night I have polished off 4 cans of Carlsberg and am on to some Fosters (8 cans for 6 quid in Tescos at the moment). I do not intend to drink all of them though. May leave a couple for tomorrow while the footy is on. :thumbup:

:beer:

Get on the Strawberry and Lime lived off the stuff in Norway and Finland amazing stuff

I have mate, we're doing this stuff at my work now as well, post-work beverage of choice.

Prefer it to the Kopparberg range I think, doesn't make me feel as bloated and tastes a bit sharper I reckon.
