To ask how often you go to the pub and what do you drink there?

[AbsoluteGonk]

Just that really 😊

Somewhere between twice a week and once a fortnight, depending on weather and social schedule. I have sparkling water, a small lager, or a glass of red wine.

We live in London so definitely no talking to other locals! The horror! It’s bad enough when the bar staff recognise us.

Once a week on average more in summer- we live across the road from village pub. Normally I drink beer if I’m drinking or they do lovely coffees a vanilla latte if I’m not drinking drinking :)

What do you like drinking at home? They probably have it in the pub.

I'd have wine or posh lager or g&t if in mood. Diet coke or lime&soda for soft drinks. Often a bag of crisps or peanuts with it.

Sometimes have a cup of tea later on in evening.

I sit and talk to whoever I've gone there with. Usually friends not dh as we can drink and chat at home!

I love the pub, it’s my favourite place to be. So as often as possible which is sadly only about once a week. I drink wine

Two or three times a month usually for Sunday dinner and then occasionally in the evening if we can get a babysitter. I drink white wine by the bucket load.

There are three good pubs in our village so we alternate between all of them.

Never. It's 20 years since I set foot inside a pub.

Seriously?! That's very insulting

At least once a week.
I drink anything with alcohol in. Well apart from Gin.

DH is in the pub at this very moment with our teenage DS's (one of whom is old enough to drink).

I prefer to stay at home, but when I do go to the pub I almost always drink white wine, unless it's a pub where I know the wine won't be nice, when I'll have a half of dry cider.

Always with cheese & onion crisps.

If you go to a proper London pub you can meet all sorts of interesting people. If you go to a pub populated with people who moved there from Surrey, less so

I haven't been in over a year. I don't drink, so when I go are usually have hot chocolate or coffee. Or Sunday dinner, I know that's not drink, but that's why I went last time. I only know of one pub in this area though, I'm sure there are more but I don't know where there are.

What I do depends who I’m with.
But generally we chat, drink, chat
To the bar staff and even the locals. So not sure what the London comment was about

Gin with lemonade & lime

Every few weeks, drink either G&T or a cocktail. AbsoluteGonk you might enjoy Rhubarb and Ginger gin liqueur (Edinburgh Gin) with ginger ale. It's alcoholic but not as strong as gin.

Never, I do like a drink but just have one at home.
I drink lager, it's the only alcohol I like.

Seriously?! That's very insulting

Insulting to who? We are polite and tip well, we just don’t want to chat. I doubt the bar staff do either, but they feel they have to. I spent many years as a barmaid and didn’t like the forced smalltalk with regulars when I was on that side of the bar either.

Some random old woman plonked herself down at our table while we were eating a couple of months ago, and started chucking DS1’s chin and cooing at him. He rolled his eyes and blew a raspberry. I knew exactly how he felt!

Once a fortnight to meet with a big group of friends and watch live music and dance.
Once a week (different pubs) for early doors and pub grub more when the weather improves and we can walk there with the dogs and sit outside.
Every few weeks with other friends.
I don't drink much, DH loves all the real ales.

Sashkin the implication of your first post was that people in pubs in London are unfriendly and don't want to talk to you. It's now reversed into you not wanting to talk to other people or welcome friendliness

Evil old women daring to admire your child in a pub. Tsk.

• disclaimer - I don’t know what chucking means in this scenario.

Once or twice a week, to meet up with friends. I would usually have wine, or if not drinking a coffee or a soda water with a wedge of lime. If it is more of a party occasion I would possibly opt for a cocktail.

About once a month to meet various friends. Usually have food and then a lemonade and lime.

I dont go to The Pub as in having a local. There is one DH doesn't mind going but I hate it.
I do go to other pubs though. Not very often, less than once a month. I drink all kinds of things, lime and soda, fruity cider, lager and lime, shandy, wine, Bacardi and come, gin and tonic... I could go on.

Bacardi and come are you sure you’re it’s a pub?

2-3 times a year.
Aspall draught cider for me! Lovely stuff!
