What alcohol should I drink?

Going out for a birthday meal tonight. Since I had the kids I barely ever drink...a glass of wine makes me feel ill. I can't stand the taste of beer. What can I drink that's mildly alcoholic so I can get in the spirit of things, without a hangover tmrw? I'm so bored of Diet Coke!

If you don't normally drink, I'd have a glass of prosecco/cava and then switch to soft drinks. The fizz will get you into the swing of things without tipping you over the edge!

Vodka and lemonade

Peach Archer's with Prosecco (Peach Bellini).

Simple Gordon's Gin & Tonic.

Cocktails or gin (I like it with lemonade)

Have a mimosa/bucks fizz (champagne and orange juice), or a bellini (prosecco and peach purée).

Plus lime and sodas or a straight tonic / slim line tonic are great for looking / feeling like alcohol with the bonus of no hangover…

Vodka n lemonade
Bacardi n coke
Pink Gin n lemonade.

A nice, long, cold gin and tonic.

Flavoured gin with lemonade, fruit and lots of ice is lovely

BrilliantBetty · 18/09/2021 17:55

I like a half pint of dry cider. Sometimes with a dash of lemonade.

I couldn't drink multiple very sweet drinks

RJnomore1 · 18/09/2021 17:59

Gin liquer and tonic perhaps

JudesBiggestFan · 18/09/2021 18:09

Hm, the flavoured gin and tonic could be a goer. I haven't had archers and lemonade since I was a teenager!
