Gin in the sun yesterday = dying now

Someone please bring me a mcmuffin 😭

I think that ruler is in inches not cm so no need to convert. Bet your DH is pleased with the way you convert inches

@XiCi

A 700ml of gin couldn't possibly measure 5 or 6 inches HoppSuisse. That's the size of a miniature.

You’ve got your units wrong, not HoppSuisee That ruler is definitely in cm.

The ruler is in cm. 2.5cm to an inch therefore 5cm.

Still really not a huge amount to be hanging on.

Yeah XiCi you have it wrong, that ruler is in cm.

YeahXiCiyou have it wrong, that ruler is in cm
5 inches is tiny. I have a miniature bottle here that's 4.5 inches tall. And about 20 gin bottles 70cl that are 11-12 inches tall. It's not possible for 70cl to fit in a 5 inch bottle

If it’s short and fat it will You need to go back and read the post again. The measurement was to the bottle shoulder.

I think you need to go and find an actual ruler. I don’t think you’re picturing the height correctly.

Here is a picture showing a 6in ruler with 6in corresponding to 15cm. This matches exactly with the image of the Hendricks bottle earlier being about 5 or 6 inches.

Right OK. Bit pointless since your missing a chunk of the bottle there. Thankfully none of the bottles I have are filled to the shoulder or they'd be going back

My 6o clock gin came filled to the shoulder. That’s where the 70cl of gin came up to. I don’t think it matters as long as the right amount of gin is supplied.

Yes PurpleDaisies true

To the top of the BS bottle, its 24cm. But most of the gin is in the first 16cm - 5.2 inches. See here again with 30cm ruler, and a 40ml miniture added for comparison

Advertising on this thread is spot on…

I can do this with Rock Rose, City of London and Gordon’s if it will help 😂

I love what this thread has become

The measurements stuff might be my fault. If I cba would measure various bottles and prove the theory with actual measures.

But if 70cl is divided by 6 inch is equals 23.3 something per inch which is 46.6cl which I have no idea how much is due to the several cls I have already had.

But if 70cl is divided by 6 inch is equals 23.3 something per inch
70/6 = 11.6cl per inch, not 23.3. That’s about 230mls of gin per inch which fits with my experimental data.

Sorry, missed a “2”!

This should say:

70/6 = 11.6cl per inch, not 23.3. That’s about 230mls of gin per 2 inches which fits with my experimental data.

All interesting but what I want to know is has anyone mind over mattered a hangover away? Yoga breathed it away? Had 3 doubles last night and feel dire.

How do people get through the day hungover? Painkillers not working.

A cold irn bru, a fish finger sandwich and ice lollies will provide some comfort but if you really want to perk up then hair of the dog! Have a glass of wine or beer with lunch

I love mumsnet.

I've discovered a magic drink that makes it feel rather better. Not completely but I dont feel so dreadful.

Frozen strawberries, lots of water, ice, lots of fresh mint, maple syrup, lemon juice, pince of salt, blend.

I had something similar on Saturday. Fresh frozen smoothie. Think it was kale, mango, cucumber, lots of fresh mint. I do agree a hair of the dog is the best though. A lager shandy always does the trick. Unless is a horrific one, then only sleep will do

@EastWellowBride

2 inches is a lot of gin!

Well it depends on the shape of the bottle surely. 2" from a bottle of Caorunn is a lot, but 2" from a tall thin bottle would be much less.
