Ylf Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 £3.45 pint of T in the birkie inn. Decent boozer and pint. Only really have a pint on a Saturday nowadays. Not a fan of drinking in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Happened to wander into Cloisters on Brougham Street on Saturday....a bit miffed that they've stopped selling Belhaven Best, which is my normal pint. Spent the afternoon on bottles of Weihenstephan @ £4.50 a pop. Normally it's £3.30 for a Belhaven in The Abbey......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 It is rather yeasty. I just had the 9 cans of it yesterday, didn’t want to go too overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 It was 7 cans and one bottle and also a bottle of hop house 13. And a little bottle of Rioja to mix it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really see the attraction of sitting in getting drunk..Not really, I had my first drink at 2 and my last at about 9 so never really feel drunk at all. It certainly isn’t anything to be proud of I admit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 If it was purely down to saving money, I’d still rather go and have 2 pints in the pub than drink 8 cans in the house. ETA I’ll happily drink wine in the house but drinking cans in the house is shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own, In an ideal world I would rather be out every weekend for food and drink but I do have a penchant for knocking them back in the house which some people view as unusual.

I always picture you as the guy who eats and drinks all the time without any repercussions and some poor guy somewhere else in Leith is falling to bits.

Pint of T and a large glass of white wine with a dash of lemonade in it. £9... When I queried the price was told that it was because it was a large wine! (250ml) Went to local Wetherspoons, exact same order £5.95. No wonder my favourite place is always empty. If Wetherspoons played music and had sports on the television then probably most pubs in the town would shut down within weeks. Spoons are the ryanair of pubs tbf. It costs pubs money to play music and subscribe to Sky and BT, hence why you pay more to drink in good pubs. If Spoons started doing these things then prices would have to go up.

philpy Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I normally alternate my routine - sometimes I'll go down the club for a couple of pints on Friday, then I'll get 4 or 5 bottles of ale from Aldi and stay in and drink them on Saturday, then the next week it's the other way around, but I'll only have a couple of bottles as I'm working on a Saturday morning.

throbber Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Keep going at the rate you are and I doubt you'll have much choice. I don’t drink Tuesday - fridays. Most Friday nights I’m happy not drinking but I’ll always have a few on Saturday then go balls deep for it on the Sunday and then a couple of curers on Monday after a tough day at work.
