There is an option under ''My Profile'' that allows you to choose whether or not you are visible when online, try changing that.

For me I start at the airport normally 3 to 4 bottles of Holsten Pils, then about 4 Bloody Mary`s on the plane if I can get enough service.( I also take 2 litre bottles of gin in my case/boots)p/pn per case.
Although I dont drink in the day during skiing my apre`s starts around 4pm that day,
EXAMPLE:

4pm - 7pm apre`s bar =16 units )
back to hotel shower etc,

7.30pm - 9pm half bottle gin =20 units :lol:

9pm - 10.30 Dinner bottle red wine (for Myself) =9 units :P

10.30 - 12pm bar or town =8 units :mrgreen: :!:

Given that the recommended amount per week is 21 units for a male & 14 units for a female and the maximum amount to drink and drive is 2.5 pints of 3.5abv% or 5 units.

There must be an awful amount of skiers out there in the mornings drunk in charge of their planks. :shock:



If I may be as bold as to suggest that you appear to have a problem.....

I rarely touch a drop on the slopes, maybe a beer with lunch. I do like one late afternoon just before we finish skiing, and then a couple of pints apres.
Dinner is usually accompanied by free flowing wine when we are in a chalet, I dont really count how many glasses. But I try to make sure I either dont drink too much or that I am in bed by midnight latest as I am there for the skiing and wouldnt want to ruin a day on the mountains.

However, past experience often suggests that arrival day send all that to cock and I end up drinking too much in the excitement of it all on the day we have travelled which doesnt usually help, and the first morning is spent plying myself with coffee and getting as much fresh air on board as possible. I was ok last season on both main trips, but Sauze in Feb 2009 was a bit of a big one..... I dont want to do that again!!!

There you have it, you are meant to turn.

So Dale, would you classify yourself as a "skier with a drink problem", or a "drinker with a skiing problem"? :wink:

Well I don`t count Vin Chaud,as that really is just warm ribena, so apart from the 15 glasses of that a day, not a lot really...... :lol:
A bad day on the slopes is better than a good day in the office !
