  • I did Winston Churchill's wild daily routine! I love learning about British culture and this felt like a funny way to try something new!
    I had so much fun trying out this experiment - if you have another daily routine of a famous Brit you'd like me to try, let me know!

    Hey! I'm Alanna - a thirty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
    I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a UA-cam video every Tuesday plus an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT/BST on Twitch.

      You did very well considering you don't drink too much normally so well done ✅
      Next time you go shopping for the booze look for banana liqueur , so next time you do a test with shorts and they don't taste to well just add a drop ( eye drop size or a couple of ) to the drink and it will taste far better , but be careful it doesn't become a habit 😉 .
      Come to think of it I've never done it with beer , cider or champagne etc so you can always do one of your reaction tests but just drink no more than 1/2 pint at a time , or smaller 😂

    Churchill had a small dash of whisky with lots of soda in a large glass, it was not a full measure of whisky and as a result would be low in alcohol. It was to provide some flavour and was a habit he picked up in India to make the water palatable.

    One of my favourite parts of Churchills routine was the fact that if he couldn't sleep at night or was up late trying to find inspiration for a speech he would pace up and down in one of the big rooms while listening to marching band music, drinking and smoking cigars. How about adding that to the Naps daily regime. 😀😀😎

    I have to say this was one of your crazier ideas for a video, but it was so amusing to follow you on this particular journey of discovery - it’s for sure that WSC was an unusual person and whilst I admire him enormously, I’m not sure my stomach and liver could put up with his routine for very long. I hope your equilibrium is now restored. By the way, one of my favourite champagnes is Pol Roger (Churchill’s preferred house), although the one I return to whenever possible is Veuve Cliquot, my own favourite for very many years 🍾🥂 - cheers 😂.

      He was a racist. He is still strongly opposed by many in South Wales to this day for sending troops to the area in 1910-11 when the Tonypandy riots took place, disturbances between the authorities and striking miners. He had to address it as late as 1950 when campaigning in the election in the area, where he claimed to have been a supporter of the miners. Not what the facts around the General Strike of 1926 show either, where he was put in charge of government propaganda sheet The British Gazette by PM Baldwin to keep him out of the way. In 1945 he claimed Labour would need a UK version of the Gestapo to implement the welfare state, including the NHS. His wife told him not to make such an inflammatory, offensive remark but he went ahead. A disgrace on so many levels, notwithstanding his wartime leadership.

    The greatness of the man is only made better by his eccentricities... his wit is legendary, his writing (on subjects he was expert in) fills several shelves, his speeches are still quoted over 80 years later. I love that he would put on a boiler suit and build a brick wall or paint fantastic watercolour paintings and enjoy long friendly meetings with world leaders in the same way we go shopping or catch the bus. I love that he was a war hero, escaped prison, and impressed his bodyguard with his eagerness to engage a would be assassin with his own pistol. I loved that his devoted wife eagerly beavered behind the scenes to smooth over potential embarrassments and that they remained faithful to the end.

    It never fails to astonish me how some people can be functioning alcoholics. My grandmother worked until 4pm every day, came home, put her PJs on and started to binge drink and chain smoke to Dr. Phil. By 5:15 she would say "I really looooove that Dr. Phil..." Stammer into the den and pass out cold for two hours, only wake up to resume the drinking. She did that for 40 years and by the time she was 80 she had fairly well pickled herself.

    Having read the 1,150+ page biography Churchill: Walking with Destiny. He was an interesting man. Good for you for attempting this! I'm guessing his Whisky & Soda ratio would be more like 2 shots Whisky:1 drop soda water. As a whiskey lover myself that is about all the water I would want. No computers or emails in Churhill's days. Not invented yet! Walking in the park, not in a straight line, hmm was that the wind or the whisky at work? Ha Ha Great vid

      Your guess is wrong. He had much more water than whisky, supposedly 7 parts water to 1 of whisky.

    This is a generic comment, not specific to this video. Bearing in mind I am old enough to be your father and that is how I am responding to your videos, , you are just enchanting. Your videos are just fantastic, you should be very proud of them. I know you no longer have your father but, my God, he would be so proud of the woman you have become.

    Two Churchill quotes:
    "a magnum is the perfect size for two gentlemen to have over lunch, especially if one isn’t drinking.”
    "Remember gentlemen, it’s not just France we are fighting for. It’s Champagne."
    Funny how your hair style changed at lunch time😀.

    Churchill had a budgerigar that would perch on his head as he worked on papers in bed and, from time to time, hopped down his arm for a beakful of his whisky and soda.
    Where’s your budgie?

    Churchill was very much of his time. He was born in 1874 and will've been 40/41 when he served in WW1. He was 70 in 1944, so you were kind-of following the routine of a pensioner here, so fair enough he enjoyed his food and had developed a strong alcohol tolerance.
    Yeeah, I suspect Churchill will've had a bath run for him and likely got woke up about when it was ready, which would save a lot of time.
    Definitely a fun idea for a video. and fun generally. 'Definitely-not'-drunk Alanna is always amusing also. Also, you didn't set an alarm when you had the nap in the evening?

  • @jonathan.palfrey

    That was crazy. And really funny. You have to train yourself gradually over a period of time to drink that much alcohol on a regular basis-and it will probably damage your health and reduce your lifespan, but some people manage to beat the odds. It’s weird that you think 8 p.m. is a late hour at which to have dinner. I live in Spain, where no-one starts dinner until at least 9 p.m.

    You have come along way since you started youtubing and its great to see you out of your shell which you once where living in.

    But no cigars Alanna? You really needed to smoke the cigars to complement the flavour of the champagne.
    Winnie wasn't the only famous Englishman to subsist largely on a diet of champagne and cigars. There was a very famous jockey named 'Lester Piggot' who was said to do the same.

    He didn't have a scotch for breakfast. He had whisky and soda. It was something he picked up from his days abroad; he was 'flavouring' his water and 'disinfect' it, fighting cholera 😅 it was really that much alcohol in the glass.

    So glad you didn't try to copy DaVinci's day.
    Da Vinci slept for 20 minutes every 4 hours, for 2 hours a day. He had a structured diet rich in water, fiber, and vegetables and low in fat, sugar, and salt. He combined his sleep schedule with habits like journaling, self-affirmation, and athleticism.

    Supposedly Churchill's whisky and water would be a long drink, 1 shot whisky and a lot of water, something he supposedly sipped a lot through the day. Along with about 5 - 10 large cigars!

    Churchill had very very watered down whisky - The Whisky and soda was Soda, and soda, and soda and a splash of whisky .. topped up with soda several times whilst he drank it ...
    He had a small very short table and sat up in bed with it over his lap, basically he was sat down with his legs up .... he also had a telephone so he could make and receive calls in bed
    Later in the day he drank more ... and didn't have a healthy diet, but portion size is important, his drinks were not large, formal food was complex, and lots of courses, but small portions
    With the sleep, and nap - he got 6 hours sleep every 24 hours ...
    He drank quite a lot (but not as much as most people think), and was likely not entirely sober for most of the day, but never drunk, and didn't eat the most healthy diet, and didn't get enough exercise ... and he died of not his first stroke aged 90 ...

    Oh Goody! An Alanna gets drunk vid... I'll get the popcorn. Honestly, any excuse with this girl. That was great fun, you are very entertaining when you are tipsy. Of course Churchill had the advantage of a house full of servants and had been living this lifestyle for most of his life. Very well done though.

    You did a good job. II love in Tonbridge Kent for a few months several years ago. Great memories. loved it. I have read that Churchill's morning drinks were just soda water with just a spot of Johnny Walker for flavor. The whiskey barely covered the bottom of the glass. 😁 I am going to check out your fragrances. I wish you made some Churchill inspired wax melts.

    Oh Alanna, I don’t consume alcohol these days, but even when I did, alcohol in the morning was just a way to postpone a hangover from the night before. Alcohol at lunchtime always resulted in a headache by late afternoon. You did well to put off the headache until midnight. He never looked the healthiest of individuals did he. Point of order: I did not see you smoke one single cigar 😂😂 so you owe us a video with you doing that 😂😂. Very enjoyable.

    Oh Alana. The sacrifices you make for our adoration are remarkable. On the bed routine Churchill had the advantage of built in cushions and a large table. You are far more svelte than he.
