Bummer on the Port...just have to take your own then.
Actually it's good to take a week easy or off a few times a year, even the pros do. It gives the body a chance to rest and actually comes back stronger later.

I make a point of not drinking port for at least three quarters of every year just to enable my body to cope. It is important to give your organs a rest and not over-indulge in ones passion otherwise trouble could be around the corner.Andy Velebil wrote:Actually it's good to take a week easy or off a few times a year, even the pros do.

I achieve this by not drinking Port for a minimum of 16 hours per day :devil:

That must be Scottish math, as 16 is only two thirds of 24.Derek T. wrote:I make a point of not drinking port for at least three quarters of every year just to enable my body to cope.

Oops! This demonstrates the pitfalls of doing math(s) during the time of year (day) when one is drinking Port
