If I'm guaranteed not to need to go anywhere before bed and the wild and wintry weather is rattling the letter box, I am rather partial to Guiness and a nice dry cider, mixed 50-50. The nomenclature of said mixture was "Hooligan soup" when I first met it, and while it may sound pretty disgusting it has a certain smoothness to it that makes it very palatable.
For the ladies you can also throw in a dash of blackcurrent, but before sitting down to the first one make sure you a) hide your car keys and b) have a clear path to your proposed sleeping location for the evening......
