    No, never been a big drinker. Don't like the taste and don't like not being in control. Plus it doesn't go well with competing at a high level.

    Just one of those things.

    Well done PB.

    I'm only up to 4 years. It had been something of a problem before that.

    The problem now is, as the thread title suggests, what to drink when you're with people who drink. There's only so much coca cola and mineral water you can drink- and when you're trying to be in a round, the non drinker can end up subsidising the alcohol.

    Congratulations Geoff! Thats a great effort!

    I think that is pretty poor form tbh. When ever there is a non-drinker in a round - they should never have to buy.

    Im not sure why... its just a rule!

    I like sparkling water, a dash of lime and mint on the side. Probably been mentioned

    Actually you did.

    It must be really good to rate a second mention ;-)

    A very imbedded culture among my several circles of friends.

    This is a nice drop - a little piece of lemon.

    It'll set you back as much as a beer :(

    Living in the Blue Mountains, we have a natural spring <10mins away. Take my plastic 25L tubs down, fill them up and I've got genuine spring water for at least the week. The taste difference is night and day.

    Great effort,
    I'm coming up to my 11th year soon, and my wife her 28th year.
