@Hooroo Its a very mainstream bar. I'm not a beer snob but I can't enjoy the big mass produced beers any more. I guess I could go Panhead which is only 5.8 which will help.
Drinking vast amounts of beer is a family tradition. Our old man had a minimum of 12 jugs / day - 7 days week for over 50 years - somehow. It's not the actual alcohol that kills me as I get older its the sheer volume. I like to have maybe 4 or 5 pints over a couple of hours and that's it but my bro is a binge drinker with plenty of practice and really only likes beer.
Ms DM will stay at her place as she just can't handle the drinking even though she likes the footy - so although she's understanding about it being my brother and all I'll have a fair bit of guilt laid on me as well.
None of the above will bother me at all for the first few hours. I'm hoping the sweet spot before I get totally bloated lasts until the footy is over, but Sunday at 7:00 a.m. shudder
-
@dogmeat Why don't you drink 4% session ales? 8 Wired's Semiconductor is much better than anything Panhead produces.

@Tim It's a very old school mainsteam bar - Speights, Macs, Lion :face_vomiting:
Your post is playing on my mind more than it should.
I think I'm more like your brother (but not at that volume and rate) and you're more like my brothers (again less volume and rate too)
When they have a beer they just tell me straight up that they won't be matching me one for one as they don't want to be a cripple the next day and I never have a problem with that.
Can't you do that? Just say you will go at your own pace!
I WANT YOU TO ENJOY THE RUGBY GODDAMMIT!!

Yeah well pretty much a standard spring saturday so...
- net session with the lad in the morning
- home for a coffee and finish off the days form before loading a handful of long winded multi bets
- arvo at home pretending to do odd jobs around the house, lawns etc while really knocking back beers and punting on anything with 4 legs and a long nose running around caulfield or randwick and if I'm struggling that morphetville or eagle farm might get some attention too.
- 530/6pm usually end with a couple of boys from next door turning up to get their kids home for dinner but end up having a beer or three while I spout about the sport of kings and how good spring racing is. Make them stay for the last leg of a multi.
- potentially angry bbq around 630pm following my lack of belief of a redzel three-peat
- settle in to a bit of england vs aus between blowing the last of my cash on the wizard of the west at ascot
- AB's game - probably on the couch with me and my nerves being comforted by abusive texts from aus mates and/or UK family (depending on outcome of previous game)
Yeah same old saturday really

So your kids were a day old when you met them I assume?

I missed an ABs test last year when my second son was born. I often remind my wife of the sacrifice I made that night.

I have nothing planned at all at this point, probably spend the day pottering about with a sick feeling in my stomach at the thought of losing to the bloody Irish again. Weather looks OK so I'll get the BBQ out and smoke some ribs plus the usual sausages and steaks plus beers.
Will be a big night for us - wife is a pretty ardent Wallabies supporter so will be fired up for the England game so that should be entertaining watching her lose her shit as the Wallabies play dumb-shit rugby yet again, losing when they should have won.
Then she'll be all on. Will have the Laptop on one side to post nonsensical rants on here which clever people will pick apart the following day, and the wife on the other side who will no doubt stick the boot in if we are losing as payback for my laughing at the Wallabies.
Bring it on!

I got offered a ticket, but it’s going with a work friend who isn’t a kiwi, and might be supporting Ireland.
There’s a strong chance I may punch them in the face if we lose.
Should I go anyway?
Any opportunity to punch an Irish supporter!

Yeah, up for the England game, get some good coffee on, say "oh dear" and "uh oh" lots in the bits where England are doing bad or losing to give Bonesetta a taste of her own medicine.
Cook up a big breakfast between games as I'll be too fidgety to sit around. Prolly crack a beer or cider.
Watch the game. Exciting stuff hey! After that I'm supposed to be heading to the club for 125th anniversary celebrations, but that will most likely be decided by the result of the game. Es-fucken-pecially if England win and we don't.
Then back home early evening absolutely sloshed to finish off cooking dinner for some of "our" friends - one of whom is a recovering alcoholic. This will be fun.

Dunno how he copes.
