@christiineb No, wine on an empty stomach is perfect. Lazy booze is a few hours of sipping on a bottle or two of wine, listening to tunes, getting melancolie and maudlin until there is no booze left. (I would have said reading a great book but I might just come across as a sad old git)
Very Poignant. My Uncle Harry survived the Arctic convoys to die happy, of old age, surrounded by his family a few years ago. Have a lazy booze on me in thanks for memories of dear old Harry :-)
@LittleRedHed Comes under the banner Sea Shanty I believe, some great lyrics to it also:
Don't mind the rain or the rolling sea
The weary night never worries me
But the hardest time in a sailor's day
Is to watch the sun as it dies away
Here's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line

Love it, so beautiful. Just have to ask, what is lazy booze? Will wine on a empty stomach count for a real lightweight?

@Axol Lovely comment Axol, I'll raise a glass to Harry tonight.

Really like that. Almost a folk song sound to it like the old mining songs.
