"It wasn’t until I stopped drinking that I realised Aotearoa is swimming in booze".

[Lilith7]

I only drink for the taste, and one you've had 2 or 3 drinks you don't really taste it any more, so any after that is a waste of time.

I brew my own beer occasionally as the nice beers are too expensive. But I hardly ever drink, so don't have to brew a batch very often.

In fact I last brewed in 2017 and still have a bit left!

I used to make wine years ago - Elderberry mostly but also once or twice, Peach, grape & had a go at Mead once which wasn't bad. I didn't drink it but instead inflicted on others, cunningly disguised as birthday/Xmas gifts.
