The Pleasure of Drinking

A controversial subject I know but its a enjoyable pastime I enjoy with friends and family so why not talk about it.
I hope to show you how enjoyable drinking can be, when done in a sensible way, and the many advantages having a few drinks can provide.
Its a positive look at drinking which makes a nice change.

I'm with you on the alone drinking. I also like sociable drinking but I still love my own company and my own music sometimes. It's meditative, I think. Not everyone enjoys their own heads though.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Gavin, yes love a few quiet pints on my own, just with my thoughts..... thanks Pat 😊

Hey Patrick. I have followed your wild camping videos for a while, and even "compared notes" with you with regard to old gear. After many years of wild camping, my buddy (72) and I (68) head off tomorrow to Greece to climb Mount Olympus, and in July to climb Mt. Fuji. So here's to us old guys who still love tent life, who thrill at the mention of a trek, and who enjoy tipping a pint or three to salute both comradeship and life itself. We will tip one for you too! Cheers Mate!!

That reminds me of a beer commercial here in Canada a few years ago. There were four adjoining properties where each of the guys built a garden shed in the adjoining corner. Then they showed the interiors.... They were all joined into one big building, and everyone was drinking and listening to music, and there were gorgeous serving girls. So one of the guys says to his wife "Just going out to do some work in the shed, love."

Patrick this was perhaps my favorite pub shed video. In fact, I just shared it with my very best school days mates. You get right to the heart of real friendship and drinking is right at the core of all the great times we enjoyed (and still enjoy). I only wish my mates lived closer so we could raise a pint (or a few) more often. Absolutely love your videos and your genuine perspective on life. Cheers my friend !!!

The way you speak about how drinking keeps your friendships together and brings a smile to your face is the same as myself and friends treat cannabis.

Popping down the pub for a drink with my mates used to play such a big part of my social life back in the 80's and 90's, and it was the same with my mum and dad and the rest of my family, have lots of good memories from my childhood playing in the pub beer garden, getting a bag of crisps and a soft drink of some sort. But how times have changed - just about every pub I can remember from my younger days have gone - closed down long ago. Dozens and dozens of them, all gone. And none of them have been replaced. And all of them were a hive of activity every night of the week just two or three decades ago. Such a massive shift in our way of life in just the span of a generation.

I developed a strong alcohol intolerance in my 30s and can’t drink at all now without getting unwell. Even a small amount will send my heart racing, skin itching and give me a stabbing headache. I was never a big drinker so it’s not something I miss terribly, but seeing how others enjoy their drink sociably makes me a bit jealous sometimes. But it’s good to hear your story and I’ll raise a virtual pint to a life enhanced by beer 🍻

My Best friend took me to the Kelham Island Museum a few years ago, I was quite fascinated, I suppose the biggest surprise for me was that Sheffield used to make cars, it was all very interesting, anyone in the area with electrical or mechanical interests would enjoy the Museum, I highly reccommend it. Happy Drinking to you and yours, thanks again.

Of course beer drinking in Sheffield was always associated ith the hot and dehydrating work in the steel works. I had to move down South for a job and had to make do with southern beer, not the same though, probably due to the water but you get used to anything. Any reference to drinking always makes me think of my wife's Grandad's saying " One's sufficient, two's too many and three's not NEEEEarly enough!". Cheers and all the best.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Andrew, great advice from your Grandad..... all the best Pat

Hi Pat, really enjoyable video, I recognised my life in your descriptions of many happy times drinking with your mates and how a couple of pints can help relax us. You are popular because you are so genuine and I always look forward to your next video. Anyway just poured a pint and I raise my glass to you and thanks again for your thoughts and videos. Cheers!

Cheers Pat 🍻 Of course we are there with you and I never watch a pub shed video on the go, I wait until I can sit down and relax with you. The edit comment did make me laugh.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Happy Solstice Guy, great to share some quality time with you.... thanks Pat

[@malcolmcog]

Nice talk, I like a drink, especially sitting in the garden on a warm evening on my own ! Happy memories of me as a 16 year old being happy to be served beer in a pub at a good distance from home !

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Malcolm, yes the photos triggered a few memories for me...... thanks Pat

[@stephaniemcguire]

Just found ya today💕🍻 I enjoy drinking alone (sensibly), too. Love a good IPA, although, yes, must limit number. Enjoyed your pub stories from younger years. In North Texas we had to go "across the river",... Your pub is awesome! My hubby's actually working on his retirement mancave bar/pool table room right now.🎱

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Stephanie, I can tell you it will be the best thing he can build, especially with retirement, we have some great times up there, so good its difficult to know when to stop......all the best Pat

[@karlspencer-smith1339]

Hi Pat,great video my friend….you always make sure each and everyone of them are interesting;as for this video;you’ve definitely made some valid points about fun and sensible drinking and knowing when to stop 😁👍 it’s great to see you back online and I totally love your shed Pub and it’s thanks to you; who gave me the inspiration to make my own Pub Shed from our summer house,which I,m still painting the inside up,as I had to rebuilt and add an extension,let alone build a new floor and base….the pub is going to be a 1950s style one,with also rats of memorabilia within…once finished;I’ll find a way to send some pics….keep up the good work my friend and I look forward to seeing another wild camp video…take care and God Bless Karl 👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Karl, your pub sounds great and I would love the 1950's theme, when pubs were proper pubs. I still keep adding bits to mine and altering the pictures etc, all part of having your own pub. Love making the videos and really appreciate comments like yours..... all the best Pat 👍

[@karlspencer-smith1339]

@@patrickdickinson6492 I totally lovely Rock n Roll and most things from the 1950s and as you said;that’s when pubs were pubs & beer was beer,when a pint would have tasted much better,because it only cost about 1/6d 😁 I prefer to drink at home,as it’s cheaper;plus you don’t have the hassle of some younger generation drinking too much and developing Dutch courage…😂😂 thanks for replying back..have a great weekend,Best Regards Karl

[@stevenhayes2589]

[@patrickdickinson6492]

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks James, great to share a pint with you, we all need a bit of peace and quiet at times..... thanks Pat

Cheers from Australia. Wife is from Chesterfield and we just love having a beer watching your ramblings

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Nice to hear from you Mark

[@seeyouthen]

Well said Patrick, you have a great life balance and view on life. Agree with all your sentiments.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Aidan

[@basedglennuk]

Going out for a pint on summer's nights like these, is pure bliss!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Your right there Glenn, one of the great pleasures of life...... thanks Pat

[@pete2347]

Cheers Pat! Thanks for the video. Some of my best memories are from being out drinking with my friends, and some of them from drinking too much and getting into shenanigans afterwards! We’re here for a good time not a long time! By the way great shirt (Old Guys Rule!). I’ve got a collection of those myself.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Pete, yes little bit different this video, but a important part of my life and many others, had some memorable days and nights out, the common denominator being 🍺 beer. Trying to drink a bit more sensible these days, but when you,ve got a thirst on, there's great company, and a good beer it's not easy......all the best Pat 😊

[@taxalterror]

Hi Patrick, I got 4 minutes into this video,,,,, and love your thoughts on drinking beer and laughter. I went to an old friends funeral three weeks ago, a really character of our so called Village! Whaley Bridge, we all met up at our local club it was so nice to see all old really people, it was like going back 35 years, having a good drink is so good. Thanks Patrick you are a Great man,

[@patrickdickinson6492]

We're all getting older, so it's great to spend time having a drink with old friends , drinking certainly helps to prolong friendships...... all the best Pat 👍

[@jamescomley2148]

Absolutely loved this video. Your videos are just so much fun. We have just built our own pub as you inspired us. I will most definitely show you the pictures. When are you posting again?

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi James, just what I like to hear, got to have fun, great that you built your pub, such fantastic places and great fun to build. Will have a new video out shortly, done the camp, just got to edit it....the title is ...The Italian Camp...:all about food, and a few drinks..... all the best Pat 😊

[@tevamcgillis]

Love it!! Pub shed is my dream! Thanks for the great vids!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hopefully one day you may have one..... all the best Pat 😊

[@tonydean2541]

I really enjoyed this video, bought back lots of memories of how it used to be. some very good points there too. Its basically the same old story though. Everything in moderation. simple.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes , important part of many of our lives, but got to be sensible...... thanks Pat
