I Will Drink To That
Drink Up
A Nielsen liquor analysis revealed 47 per cent of New Zealanders were not influenced by the current state of the economy when buying alcohol.
I agree. They report this like it is a BAD thing.
In a time of economic crisis my drinking is only tempered with the lack of people left to drink with. People who spend stupid amounts of their children, wives, ex-wives or on excessive fashion items, tend to slip away in these times. It can get lonely out there for those of us who don't wish to sit among empty cans of Lion Red and half toked joints.
I drink because I enjoy it. And I won't be stopping any time soon. Regardless what the wowsers say. And I will drink even better alcohol than the standard drink of Moet or Veuve. Perhaps this weekend I shall try a drop of this.
I also snuck a bottle of this back from a recent trip under the "Client gift" section of my declaration. I have never seen vodka cling to the glass so beautifully before. It is rocket fuel. Go Donald.
Dom and Trump cocktails perhaps?
So caution to the wind folks. If you are a net positive taxpayer (pay more in tax than you bleed of welfare for families and other benefits) then count yourself PREttyFUcking fabulous and continue to get sloshed.
The election campaign is sucking the big one at present. Boring. Boring. Boring.
Why don't we just resort to alcohol and drink through it? Why don't journalists turn up at press conferences after boozing sessions? Or sex scandalise themselves while on tour with the pollies? Guyon, where are you in our time of entertainment void? Can someone re-enact the days of Griffin/Soper and throw a damn chair through a hotel window? Get caught naked in a fountain at 3am? Rooting pig shot in Ngaio, Prime Minister safe? Why don't the pollies get plastered before appearing on stage. How much fun would that be?
Somebody save us.

Lion Nathan sales rep ago said to me about 2 months ago: "Alcohol consumption goes up during bad times, although there may be a shift towards better-bang-for-the-buck product".
Bought a bottle of Cristal to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.
Very nice, but never worth the money unless you are a footballer or the ex-boss of Lehman brothers. He only took $260m out of the company for his contribution.
Ah Bless.
D.

Yes! More plastered MP's! Muldoon had the odd subtle failure of judgement but at least he was fun to watch!
Hear hear!
Given the choice, I'd drink Vintage Krug. (not terribly impressed by the Grand Cuvee) But since returning from a stint in London several years ago, I have had to tone it down somewhat...
Nevertheless, I stockpile Dom whenever I can - given my highly taxed, NZ salary. There is always a place for quality champagne!
