Good afternoon. I am 19/25 please cathybird. Thank you. X
For any former (or less frequent) gin and tonic drinkers I can highly recommend Tanqueray 0.0. I bought some last week and I think it is the best of the AF 'spirits' I have tried. It really hits the spot with tonic, ice and a slice. Now to find a decent AF red wine, but I think that is an impossible dream 😕.

40 lengths in the gym pool at lunch and back to run 4km tonight, the only thing I am looking forward to is my bed!
@marahouti please do let me know if you find a AF red that doesn't taste like pop...or worse. I did sample quite a few a while ago and couldn't find anything close enough to substitute4
