I can't remember whether I've mentioned recently, but for at least a week now, I've been making a concious effort to cut down on my drinking. This news may well come as a shock, especially to those who know just how bad I've been at Uni for binge drinking.

But tonight, Chris (housemate) and I decided to try something rather quite special. I'd like to name it Snakebite Extreme.

To make snakebite extreme you need some blackcurrant cordial (or that really strong squash stuff), one can of lager and one can of cider. The drink gets it's name from the particular brands we have chosen;

Lager: Tennent's Super @ 9.0abv
Cider: K @ 8.4abv

It's a very tastey drink and as far as I can tell, it gets to your head rather well.

I expect at least Andrew (housemate - sorely missed) and Catie (abroad - sorely missed) to both be proud that I have been buying cider. But I'd be astonished if there was no shock on their faces when I say that I had a couple of gulps of K and actually quite liked it.

So, cutting down the mid-week drinking is going PERFECTLY. *smiles*
