On Thursdays, Don’t Stop Living brings you an alcohol related story from around the world.
You know what, I LOVE Berlin. Yes, but due to my crazy travel adventures, I ain’t been back since 2007. It’s a great city with so much going for it. History, culture, food and DRINK. Boy have I had some crazy nights out in Berlin!! In fact I reckon it’s the European City I have Read more about Thirsty Thursdays: Getting Battered in Berlin, Germany!![…]
Today’s Thirsty Thursdays includes a fantastic sunset and a posh hotel. A bit abnormal for me to splash out or even visit a four star hotel, but this was a hot tip for any visit to Colombo, Sri Lanka’s capital.

I thought I’d write about one of my nights out in Gaborone in Botswana today as it was a really great travel memory.

As it was late at night I had arranged Read more about Thirsty Thursdays: A Night Out in Gaborone, Botswana[…]
Last weekend I attended the second annual Hong Kong Beer Festival, known as Beertopia. Aside from the usual range of ales, stouts and lagers I was somewhat surprised to stumble upon a new beer I had never heard of before – Pizza Beer! What? A beer made of pizza? Or a pizza topped with beer? Read more about Thirsty Thursdays: Pizza Beer in Kowloon, Hong Kong[…]
The Crown Bar in Belfast in my home country of Northern Ireland is a brilliant place. I LOVE it and I take my friends there any time I’m showing them round my country. I’m pretty surprised this is the first time I’ve written about it, but buzzing at the thought of helping promote Belfast and Read more about Thirsty Thursdays: The Crown Bar in Belfast, Northern Ireland[…]
