Red, white and sparkling wine are all fine if taken in moderation. I now moderate to one bottle open at a time.(between 2 of course)
Cazz said:Some tips to check diet is really diet coke:
1. When barman is pouring coke from tap, full sugar coke has white bubbles and doesn't froth up much. Diet coke has brown bubbles and takes longer to settle
2. While barman is doing the above and you're not quite sure of the bubble colour, say in a very friendly voice "I did say diet didn't I? I'm diabetic so full sugar would kill me" I feel it makes them more aware of the issue and I'm putting it more on me than sounding like I'm checking up on them.
3. When at the table (if someone else has got the drinks in), dip your finger into the coke and rub it on back of hand. Wait for it to dry. If diet coke, your hand will be smooth, if full sugar coke your hand will be sticky.
Insane name for a beer...Does anyone know anything about Bedlam Pilsner?
