A martini first thing in the morning sounds like viking-level drinking courage.
Personally, I'm going to pop some orange juice in my bubbles and have a cheeky stomach lining croissant alongside.
Merry Christmas!
Chambord from the stocking and now an espresso martini here! Yum. Should prob eat something soon tho, will other than the celebrations and a tangerine, also stocking gifts.
Eating is cheating, I've already fallen over and got stuck between the toilet and the wall, have my brother tip the toaster sideways to make a melted cheese toasty, only to have his cheesy melt, eject and skip across the draining board and straight into the washing up water, and ending up with the dinner slipping on the floor off of daddio's lap as he fell asleep battered in a quiet corner. I wish I could say this was all lies. I shall not be going away on a villa break with my family again.
I’m doing a 300 mile round trip to my parents in Cumbria with the Mrs, in-laws and our 5 year old.
I’ll be making up for it when I eventually get home though. I have 3L of Czech beer in the fridge with my name on it.
For everyone drinking already, have one for me.
And to all, have a Merry Christmas!
I don't normally start drinking till I put dinner on.
But I've just recovered from a nasty cold, so put a cheeky (read large) drop of baileys in my morning coffee.
For medicinal purposes naturally...
Ah I should come clean. They’re called [chocolate Leibniz](https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/306653692) but we call them chocolate lesbians
A glass of water. Not particularly exciting I know, but I'm currently 100 days sober after quitting alcohol earlier this year. This will actually be my first Christmas without alcohol in a long time.
My GF loves this stuff but I think it tastes like whey protein shakes. She’s got me a whole bunch of DIPA cans that she didn’t realise were 8% so today should be fun.
Ive had two cups of tea already. I think I will wait until 9 then have a glass of Prosecco then around 11 make myself a Martini or two. Wine with lunch. Its going to my good day.
My grandad gave me a glass of ginger wine and lemonade, insisting ‘it’s not really alcoholic’ because he knows I don’t really drink.
Had a glass, it was very sweet and tasted quite alcoholic. Checked bottle. 13.5% alcohol.
Sherry… half a bottle down… I feel a snooze coming on already! Watched the niece’s 2 and 5 year old open their presents… now they’re arguing. Classic Christmas 🎄
Chronic pancreatitis (genetic, not alcohol, diet or gallbladder induced). Came out of hospital 2 days ago from a serious attack. My tipple will be oral morphine so that will be a very drowsy Xmas
I made eggnog last night. I love it. I am now enjoying it in my moose glass, just like the National Lampoon's Christmas vacation. My favourite Christmas film. Merry Christmas everyone.
Mother in law bought me a case of Fosters 750ml 5% cans from Texas. I'm on number 2 so far.
Get nice and pissed, sober up with a roast later, have a nap, then bang out the whiskey. Bosh!
Wasn't planning to but have to delegate the turkey now (to competent and willing cook, thankfully) so adding a splash of stollen rum (M&S) to my usual 11am Pepsi Max. I'm not really a hot drink fan.
Can't drink until we've arrived at the in-laws.
Something to do with drink driving, apparently!
We've got a bottle of white wine each for once we arrive though!
I was lucky; my wife brought me some very good coffee for Christmas.
After trying a small cup black first, I had a second with a big slug of pretend Baileys. It was lovely.
Merry Christmas to all!
I was gonna have a monster this morning, after having given them up in August. I decided against it when I went out to buy one yesterday. So I'll be drinking mostly sadness
Quad espresso. Wrapping and building Lego until 2am (when on Xmas eve the kids tell me that Santa builds your Lego for you so you can play with it straight away), kids awake at 3, finally gave up keeping everyone upstairs until 6:30
Just poured a Buck’s Fizz for the missus … bloody awful hardly any orange juice and they’ve reduced it to only 3.4% !!!! Bloody liabilities!! Tesco brand, may aswell bought lemonade
Merry Christmas ya filthy animals, over the parents for Xmas, was going to crack on with my "dead mans fingers - spiced rum" that I left here a good while ago, turns out mum's drank it all! Made my day, gave us all a good chuckle. Moved straight on to morgans spiced and coke instead. Good times
I'll be having a cup of tea.
Same, Yorkshire Tea 😍
Gold, I hope!
The rich person has joined the chat.
I could be homeless and I’d still buy Yorkshire Gold.
Are we all saying Yorkshire is pretty much the best. Or at least agreed by everyone to be top tier Tea?
its common knowledge that yorkshire is the best, the british standard.
I’m just going to wait for all of this to blow over
I'm in the Winchester I've got you a drink in
The correct choice
The fact I am now on green tea because black tea gives me headache makes me feel very old.
Try caffeine free tea. My other half has started drinking it and her headaches vanished.
I'm so sorry 😔

You can’t eat an odd number of biscuits!
Especially on Christmas day!

Viking-Level Drinking Courage is one I hope you don’t mind me stealing! I’ve got several rugby playing friends that phrase will suit perfectly.
Take it, it's yours. Sounds like you need it! 😆
Oh so you’re too good to eat chocolate the whole day? SORRY MR FANCY FUCKIN PANTS.
I definitely had some chocolate before and after my croissant. Don't worry, I'm not that much of a Christmas heathen. 😆
I added a brandy to my coffee when I let the cats out at 5am
I see you're a person of culture.
Definitely, Tesco own brand, aged for a whole 3 years and comes in a plastic bottle.
If it works, it works. Enjoy!
Classy
I had baileys coffee hahah
That's lovely!
Bubbly. I will raise a glass to my late parents as I do every year, then polish it off, getting dinner cooked.
Doing the same with a bauble with our mum on it so she’s still a part of Christmas. Merry Christmas to you :)

Merry Christmas, Mr Staropramen
Mr Pilsner Urquell, but almost! Merry Christmas to you too!
Not all heroes wear capes but they do enjoy a good beer after. Here's to you and a clear M6. Good luck.
Thank you Mister! Merry Christmas!

I’ve been on the baileys lesbian biscuits. Yum
Never heard of them, are they like prawn crackers? 😂
Ah I should come clean. They’re called [chocolate Leibniz](https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/306653692) but we call them chocolate lesbians
We do too! Merry chocolate lesbian Christmas x
Merry Christmas. Many happy chocolate lesbian returns x

Nabbed clementine juice from my eldest, tastes good stolen
Coffee. Once I've woken up a bit I'm going to break out the posh coffee.
Same! Cheers :-)
Absolutely! Coffee, Covornia for the cough drank separately of course (it’s 7% don’t you know!) then coffee machine coffee after foods.
Posh coffee here too. Filter not instant.
Yes! I’m a handle espresso machine kinda guy.
I did that and it was great, then walked the dog up the bloody big hill ❤️
Lemsip
I’ve gone for blackcurrant Beechams. Hope you feel better soon.
Same. Hope you can feel some joy for the day!
Water to wash down the antidepressants
Good shout, need to take mine!
I don’t make a habit of taking mine with Scotch, but it’s Christmas innit.
I never feel more like a gritty sad-man-dead-wife character than taking my ever increasing number of pills with a slug of beer from the can
A big glass of water because I feel incredibly dehydrated and already have a banging sinus headache.
Merry Christmas fellow traveler
Hmm I should have some water
Just got over mine recently, horrible stuff. Hope you’re better soon.
Join the covid club
Buzz fizz at breakfast with a bacon and Brie roll
