Drinkalongathon 2025

Yes, it's that most wonderful time of year again. Drinkalongathon time!

Am I really still doing this? Yes! I most certainly am. Why? No fucking idea. It's just something I do every year. Until I get bored. Or become infirm. Or lose my marbles. Or simply drop dead. All are possibilities. I'm hoping for the first option.

Time to let you know what you'll need to take part in this year's event. You'll have a week, which should be long enough to source all the string and eggs. After all, what's Christmas day without eggs and string?

1 crate of St. Bernardus Abt
4 pieces of string
1 bottle of fino sherry
250 gm smoked bacon (back or streaky)
3 more pieces of string
1 bottle of port
5 soft-boiled eggs
5 eggs who think they're hard . . . but are really barely cooked
1 bottle of starboard
6 mince pies
4 crumpets (oo-err)
1 bottle of ruffo sherry
1 litre of whisky (the cheapest possible, I'm a empoverished pensioner, no Lagavullin for me any more)
200 gm mature cheddar
1 reserve crate of St. Bernardus Abt
1 small, yellow plastic duck
100 gm really immature gorge
1 copy 2026 Good Beer Guide*

No UB40 Red, red wine
1 emergency crate of St. Bernardus Abt
1 medium onion
5 raw eggs
5 experienced eggs
1 bottle fizzy wine (no champagne for pensioner me)
2 bottles of white wine (if you have children under 10)
1 emergency pint
1 duck, roasted to perfection (don't want to show off, but ...)
1 slab of smoked salmon
2 slabs of cheap Lager (if you have children over 10)
