Cheap Drunk

These days I have cut my alcohol consumption down to a tiny trickle. I have a small wine rack at home which is full of bottles that are well past their "drink by" dates. But even in times past I wasn't a big drinker. Being lucky/unlucky enough to have a ridiculously light head, if I had much more than a couple of drinks my brain would float away. Not being a fan of insensibility, there has never been any point in me drinking more.

This isn't a personal confession or anything. It is just background so that you know the significance of my pleasure at Tuatara Brewery being named Champion Brewer at the recent NZ awards. When the BIG* folks got together at the old Malthouse pub, it was always consistently Tuatara's various brews that gave the greatest pleasure. I'm glad they have got some recognition.
