Drink a Slab Day

6 April 2007, 18:24

Easter has become 1) four days of non-stop drinking 2) four days of non-stop eating and 3) four days of fobbing off the child to papa. Hell, he’s had his trip to the States, it’s time for Payback.

Hot Cross Buns
Tucking into guilty hot-cross pleasures

Our neighbours have Drink a Slab Day every Good Friday, a day where the challenge is there – anyone who can Drink a Slab in one day, wins…. the honour of being able to drink a Slab in One Day. Ah, the messages we are sending our children.

The Clock has just chimed 5.30 and we are about to throw our caution to the concept, after having entertained McG’s brother, SIL and nephew Blake for the past 6 hours. I’ve imbibed one whole bottle of Sparkling Shiraz and grateful that I’m no longer breastfeeding. Or not, Scout could probably do with the uninterrupted sleep.

We are really going for Scout. She likes to p.a.h.t.a.y. Honestly, the girl is a machine – once the party starts and the 80’s music starts churning out of the stereo, she is one unstoppable midget.

Ah, Easter Fun. Bring it On.

  3. I, too, respect all faiths, David – including the Cult of Coopers Pale Ale.

  4. I am a practicising member of the Cult of Coopers Pale Ale. I imbibed on Good Friday, but it’s the least of my sins. I also ate a beef and guinness pie hangs head in shame. I am surely going to hell.

  5. I had a bottle of wine, prawn spaghetti marinara on Good Friday, then the family roast on Easter Sunday, which marks the end of Lent, and the renewal of New Life. I am not saying to be a puritan, but deliberately wiping oneself out on GF seems a bit rich. Would you like to be living as a Jew or Muslim in the Middle East? Unable to eat pork, prawns, Moreton Bay bugs, crayfish? We, (as Christians or secular people alike), enjoy the best food wine and beer in world but drinking to excess seems dumb. Enjoy yourself but gee its a special day.
