Binning the beer

Gin and soda water, touch of ice. 70-75 cals.

With a tolerance for alcohol like mine, you will only need 2 or 3 at the weekend.

I actually prefer wine but it's not so good for you calorie wise. What would life be like without little treats now and then?

gin tastes horrible though! like the missus' hairspray! its the taste of that first beer that just makes you chill. like an alcoholic typhoo moment!

Agreed. Cest la vie!! Everything that tastes good is bad for you.

Kate Moss once said "nothing tastes as good as skinny feel". Thats first cold beer on a Friday night is pretty damn close!!!

Some of my best times have been done the day after a sesh

Funny that... my best ride this year was the morning after I drank a bottle of Merlot; I went like a train and felt fantastic.

Interestingly in the old days of the TDF when it was run as a spectacle for amateur racers, it wasn't uncommon for riders to stop and fortify themselves with a brandy. I wonder if they knew something about quick release energy drinks that we have forgotten?

You were still too drunk to realise how slowly you were riding!
