Hmm....yes it HAS been too long, but I am finding it hard to pick a topic to write about. Still, with the aid of half a bottle of a nice Australian Merlot, I feel inspired once again :)

I think alcohol is a topic that I should expand on today. I am really not a huge drinker, and never when I have to work the next day, but intoxicants of varying sorts do have a certain appeal. Red wine is my top tipple I think. A nice Merlot or a Shiraz are my current favourites. I went through an Italian/Spanish phase a while back - Chianti or Tempranillo. Then again, vodka with a mixer can be nice too..with plenty of ice.

I wonder who first discovered the wonders of alcohol? Some caveman who let his apples ferment? I guess with all the infections in the water in past, alcohol really has been a safer alternative sometimes. You are more likely to catch diseases from the water (although I have always been a BIG water drinker...and after tonights Merlot, water will definitely be needed to avoid a hangover I think..........)

I am no beer drinker - after getting exceedingly drunk on lager at a 15th birthday party years ago, I can't touch the stuff without heaving. Never have been a whisky connoiseur(sp?). And why DOES gin make you weepy and depressed?

When it comes to booze, I think you have to be in the mood, and it affect everyone in different ways (like making me more talkative and more likely to post this drivel), but lets give it up for alcohol.....woo hooo!!!!!!
Who needs the wheel...lets hear it for the booze..
