Has no-one suggested MOAR BOOZE yet?I'm hangover-free for the first, and likely the last, time this week. I'm stunned by how badly the beer is kicking my arse at the moment.

Didn't happen in the endThe absolutely-not-a-Stag-do has been rejigged for Thursday, when we will take the father-in-law's Catamaran round the coast to a pub and back. Which sounds very much like a Stag do for a 54-year-old boating enthusiast to me.
The reason you didn't get a text, drunk or otherwise, is because I made the important decision to eschew funtimes and do my fucking OU instead.

I'm talking about a yacht, to be fairnot a gin palace. Boozing on motor boats is fine. Boozing on 40' sailing yachts is not. Way too much shit on them that can kill or maim you and you usually need at least a partially functioning crew as most aren't designed to be sailed solo

I can assure you I'd be just as much use as a crewmate sober as drunkOf those of us going, the most experienced sailors don't drink anyway. The daughters' boyfriends will mostly be giggling drunkenly and trading stories of their respective partners' mentalness.

we used to charter for weekends a lot£200 to victual the boat for 8 for two nights meant £50 on bread, ham, cheese and bacon and £150 on wine, gin and vodka. And that was just for the hour or two before you hit the pub.

My eldest came back from Download with loads of left over boozewhich gives you an idea of how much he took in the first place. There are some dodgy looking cans of 7% pear cider and various coloured liquids in water bottles, one of which smells like absinthe. He's left it in my shed as he's headed back to his Uni digs so he can take it to Sonisphere. He's an optimistic sort that one.
