A strange thread I know...but is anyone else 'addicted' to gin? I'm not sure if it healthy to be in love with this type of gin at my age (23) but I literally cannot get enough of the stuff!

Any other ginaholics on here? :lipsrsealed:

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Like a nice G&T now and again but certainly not addicted.

Have you tried Sloe Gin?

Gin, tasteless, how anyone can be addicted is beyond me.
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

Sloe gin...heard about it. Isn't that meant to be even more depressing on a come down than normal gin?  :grin: What do you drink it with?

Gin, tasteless, how anyone can be addicted is beyond me.

Gin & lemonade/tonic is so tasty and refreshing IMO.

I'v never even tried Bombay you know! Either hendricks or this :

Yep. It's not so much addictivce, but moreish. Other spirits make me feel sick after a bit, but i've never had that with gin.

Bombay Sapphire, Schweppes tonic, 2 ice cubes and a lovely slice of lemon.
It's like being retired.
