    Because people in this country are so addicted to alcohol that some people feel they need to pretend to drink rather than be derided for their tastes (which is pretty much the thrust of this thread...):mad:


    I would rather have a nice glass of Ribena than alcohol/alcohol free wine as I haven't liked the taste of any wine I have tried but at least alcohol in it helps to dull the taste.

    I don't drink alcohol but sometimes I get fed up of the sweetness that goes with almost every soft drink. Non alcoholic wines and beers have a different taste and make a nice change some times. I appreciate that many drinkers of normal wine and beer will probably not like them, but then I can't understand why anyone likes the taste of brussels sprouts!

    It is clear that we all have different tastes on here so not all prizes will appeal to all. There will be some who prefer modern furniture to antiques or vice versa, women who prefer heels to flats or floaty florals to black bodycon dresses..... At least there is a huge range of comps posted on the forum so something for everyone :)

    I am sure they are just served to make everything else on the plate taste better in comparison.

    I love Brussels sprouts, especially when washed down with a nice glass of rose wine!

    It tastes so bad...

    But anyway what about that comp that was for a huge prize of.........

    1 x 6 pack of walkers crisps???????????????????
    1 pack i ask you 89p in B & Ms - my guess is the company that runs it just want names and emails for their databases or to sell on to the 'Youve had an accident or youre owed thousands in PPI - (evenif you aint had a bank account like me)...
    Still comping, after 2 heart attacks 4th feb & 6th feb, and a stent put in.. 45 years old only:eek:

    One reason I asked was that a few years ago I went out and it was my turn to drive so I drank Kaliber(Non alchoholic lager) all night, the next day I woke up with the worst hangover I have ever had. If I am going to suffer I need to have had the fun of getting drunk. :beer:

    I won the weekly Eisberg comp a few weeks ago, lovely chilled whilst i do gardening really enjoyed it and bought a few more bottles.

    I can't drink because of medication issues so this was a nice treat for me, rather than constantly winning beer/spirits for hubby!
