This is a question Hypocrisy

Overheard the other day: "I've told you before - stop swearing in front of the kids, for fuck's sake." Your tales of double standards please.

Well....
I prefer Diet Coke.

The main reason for me is festivals.

You wake up in the morning, take a swig of warm coke, you want to vomit.
You take a swig of warm diet coke, not as bad!

Hence the reason I always take a couple of bottles of Diet Coke rather than water.

You drink non-alcoholic drinks at festivals?
Strange boy...

Your first drink in the morning should be warm beer!

Only...
For a few mins, am not a fan of warm beer with breakfast.

Once that bacon butty is in my stomach, it's onto the Stella once more!

There's your problem
Go for Grolsch or Red Stripe, they hold up much better warm.

Or work at festivals, then you get a power hookup so you can take a fridge.

If I could...
If I was able to take in glass bottles, I'd be on grolsch all weekend, but I just don't like it out of a can, not sure why.

Red Stripe is a consideration this year, but I just love Stella, can't help it!

Plus, I get to mock my friends who are drinking alcopops/vodka & coke/etc. I get drunker, quicker, and my drinks don't go flat :D

Red Stripe is a good option
for when it gets warm

those jamaicans know what they are doing!

Hmm...
I shall test this theory!

Thank you, Oh Wise One!

Brandy, dear boy
Cleans the teeth and revives the spirit.

A hefty dose of LSD in lieu of a cheeseboard and you're off.

Tally ho!

Hmm..
For some reason, festivals seem to be the only time I'm against drugs.

Don't get me wrong, I think a spliff or two never did anyone any harm. My problem is when I see my friends completely monged out during the day, then they complain that they missed bands over the weekend, because they were so fucked they couldn't move.

At night...
I'm behind you 100%.

It just irritates me when I know I've got friends who couldn't get a ticket, and I see people so monged they won't see any bands at the weekend, because they were too fucked up during the day.

To me, festivals are about music and a shit load of alcohol with mates...without either you'll just be missing out.

Your friends must just be lightweights then!
I can only partially remember a lot of the bands I've seen, festivals aren't 100% about the music for me though.

^this
my draw tolerance increases one-hundred-fold when I'm at a festival.

When I was at Roskilde I was with about 20 mates, and when anyone woke up in the morning they'd skin up. I'd usually be up 4th or so, so by the time we're all ready to go about our days I'd have had 16 spliffs inside me. Perfect setup for a day of music appreciation.

If you start to flag then you apply liberal quantities of mushrooms

True!
The friends who get off their tits on drugs are the ones I no longer go to festivals with.

I know of girlfriends and boyfriends who have only bought tickets to be with the other half, and I think that's absolutely ridiculous.

For me, it's all about the music during the day, and all about the drinking at night :D

FESTIVALS
I am an old lag, and I'm from a background of the old free festivals of the 80s (pre rave).

The festival experience was about the communal cane-up and the music merely a soundtrack. Reading always was a 3-day gig - not a proper festival. Now they're all like that.

I don't want to come across like some old Woodstock attendee but to me the only proper festival still running in this country is the Hawkfest.

All the rest are just 3-day gigs.

Best one ever: the Treworgey Tree Fayre.
