Am i the only one.........

I always looked forward to my box of Black Magic which I received on special occasions,I was so upset a couple of years ago when there were no coffee creams in the selection I felt very badly done to.

alex57 there are around 9.5 units in a pint of Baileys!!

No wonder you were put off it for life...

Lovely with 50/50 mix with Tia Maria to stop it being so sweet, with ice.

If you get a bottle as a Xmas gift Kitty send it to this south Leics GN poster

Ana! After a pint of Baileys I imagine you'd be beyond worrying about units! More like heading for a cholesterol overload and a heart attack!

Nice G & T or glass of fine red for me. Love chocolate brazils, chocolate ginger, love marzipan.

My Mum always used to arrive with chocs, even though she must have known they give me migraine - I had certainly mentioned it often enough. I gave up saying about it and would just say thank you.

I`m still waiting for the Black Magic people to come to their senses and put the Black Magic Box back to how it used to be, complete with ALL original centres. PLEASE!!!

I agree, number - the centres all have the same truffly texture and taste SO BLAND!!!

I'm not much bothered about spirits of any kind really, wine is ok, but I wouldn't bother with it. If I drink booze I'll usually go for lager just because it's cold.

Bailey's, yuck absolutely revolting. I think it was created to attract young people who like sweet drinks. Apart from the taste it must be full of calories.

A 700 ml bottle of Baileys contains 1,846 calories!!!

That's three times more than the average 750 ml bottle of wine!

Still reeling from just following this thread. I stopped drinking wine 9wks. ago. The older I'm becoming, the lower my tolerance to alcohol seems to be the norm. I cant put any spirits over my laughing gear. I do enjoy a few bottles of a branded cider. Cold when it's summer.

White wine is cold too crun and much nicer than lager!!

I can just about manage one thimble-full of Baileys before throwing up,
At first the taste is pleasant, followed very quicky by overwhelming sickly sweetness.
But maybe it's better with ice etc.... I don't think I will bother to find out though.
Chocolates.... any chocolates..... Yey!

If anyone likes Baileys on Christmas Day they can bring their own

"White wine is cold too crun and much nicer than lager!!"

The problem I have with short drinks is that I tend to consume them in the same quantities as long ones. I like something that quenches thirst.

I love Baileys and am so disappointed that Morrisons have not had their litre bottles for £9 this year. There are few drinks I dislike except perhaps some rather perculier foreign ones - a Chinese liquor comes to mind !! The chocs I prefer are the high percentage ones but really anything will do !
I am very easy to please !!

I don't do drinks, really. I only drink black coffee and water. Wine is especially awful, pure acid. People won't accept that I don't want alcohol, thankyou, I don't like the taste and have no desire to get drunk.

I must say apart from the very occasional small glass of wine or even rarer G&T I prefer a long drink like grapefruit juice and soda. More than one glass of wine and my knees go wobbly!

Thirty years ago people would insist on pouring me a glass of wine even when I said "no thanks; it's wasted on me" (I just didn't like it). Nowadays I don't find that's the case. People are much more accepting if you don't want alcoholic drinks.

BTW, I actually like wine now, but it doesn't like me (gives me headaches).

I love Baileys but can't regard it as alcoholic and can just drink it by the pint [same with Tia Maria]. And I miss having it with a cigarette, so I just tend to avoid it these days.

Well, no Baileys, Ferrero Rocher, nuts of any kind (Mr Pickle excluded) whiskey, advocaat, mince pies, marzipan and cake.
But send any unwanted olives, truffles and sourdough, as we have a good home waiting for them.
And chutney....

I can't bear Baileys because I loathe the whole idea of mixing cream with alcohol. I do like Ferrero Rocher and marzipan though. And I do like to finish a meal with an espresso and a glass of Amaretto.
