I can enjoy a glass of wine, I've even been known to polish off a bottle and I cook with it a lot, but this headline made me realise that I'm an absolute lightweight !

Strewth. We don't even get Boxing Day off to recover over here.

I shall be mostly drinking Chimay and cask strength malts.

 

The Irish Cream option is rather nice. Not sure about the Bovril. Does this work with Marmite?

Worth trying. I find that I need a nap mid-afternoon nowadays, if I have more than one glass of beer at lunchtime.

'Kippers' come to mind, or even to hand: see avatar.

 

never tried with marmite ghastly stuff
works with an oxo cube but not a patch on the original Beefy Bovril tea

 

Quite a while ago, now, School 1st XV often did a run out against local area league sides, whose more senior forwards routinely had a predilection not to shave on Saturdays and to grind accordingly in the scrum. We learned to offset this psychological tactic by eating half a garlic before taking the field. Referees often asked who had been 'on the curry'. Woodsie was garlic intolerant, so sucked half a beef OXO instead, straight from the foil. His breath thereafter was accredited as being able to drop a Gorilla at 5 paces. I don't think I'll take you up on your option, but OXO milk shakes might be an offering to visitors before All Hallows next.
