Despite obviously trying, haven't quite had alcohol poisoning yet.

The technical definition of poitín is an unaged spirit, from 40% ABV up to a mouthwatering 90% ABV. Its most commonly made from barley or potatoes, but can be made from just about anything, including milk or even tree bark.

I’m going to train as a tree surgeon or milk maid

I had a really nice bottle of the real stuff - made in Connemara. I'd had some and left the bottle on the side. My missus threw it away thinking it was some old turps.
Handy trick is to heat it in a pan with some sugar. Down it quite hot and it's a cure for colds/ flu.

I was looking for a comment like this!! I've been a member on here since 2005 and I agree with you that 10-15 years ago it seemed like we used to get alot of flounce quite regularly... Maybe I'm wrong and I've got my rose tinted glasses on I don't know??!!

But it's good to see this flounce as it seems like ages since we've had one!!

(In all seriousness though to the OP don't be daft and just stay on here... Never understood why some people take the opinions of strangers on the t'internet so seriously!)

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!
