tzijlstra Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Someone on TV mentioned that everything carries a risk. Driving to work in the morning does, eating a bacon butty does, eating chocolate does, fizzy drinks, sugar, salt....even sitting perfectly still for two hours can cause health problems. I await bread being blamed for the nation's health problems next. It's a choice. Most people know that having too much of anything is bad for you. Anyway, we've finished off the Christmas Advocaat tonight and it's not yet 6pm...so yah boo sucks:razz: My wonderful grandma used to 'drink' advocaat, she was very peculiar about it, it had to come straight from the freezer and have an equal portion of whipped single cream (slagroom) to go with it and had to be served with a teaspoon. Chocolate sprinkles were a favourite. She would have one every Sunday at 7PM. I think she was the last person ever to drink Advocaat in the Netherlands (where, oddly, it is from) and this was 20 years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
999tigger Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 No definitely not!! the nanny state and EU meddling again ? common sense should prevail, we all know that if we drink a bottle of spirits a day its not going to do us much good? i would guess that a reasonable consumption of a bottle of wine a day is normal ?? having said that i do try not to drink anything monday and tuesday but sadly i often fail, i like to relax with a glass with friends or the other half after a days stress:o i guess by these guidelines the nanny state consider me an alcho??! Thats what his job is for to give advice aimed at the health of the nations population. Did you even bother to read the story? It's nothing to do with the EU.

metalman Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Since I probably only drink about a pint or two of cider or lager a month on average, I don't think this is going to affect me a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 The amount of butter I've just put in my smoked salmon risotto is more likely to kill me. Plus the bottle of wine we'll have with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand for whatever reason you ahve a prejudice against the EU, but blaming them when you havent even read the story is just rather silly.

GLASGOWOODS Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Drinking Advocaat can seriously damage your credibility My favourite tipple. Only at home though....not down the pub. ---------- Post added 08-01-2016 at 18:34 ---------- The amount of butter I've just put in my smoked salmon risotto is more likely to kill me.

Eurosceptics are so predictably ignorant about how a country works and who says what and is responsible for what that it is laughable, but now it has become easy money as well!

gomgeg Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It's not too long since the advice was that men drinking 2 pints a day would live longer than teetotallers, so we can expect the latest advice to change. In the meantime I think we'll just carry on drinking as we do now. I'm surprised they don't drink Advocaat in the Netherlands, my missus loves it in a snowball, it's also got the advantage of stopping her drinking my whisky and beer.
