Attention gen Xers

I love twixmas you don’t know what day it is! but it has a w , why are u not having a cocktail. We know we have to be fine to drive to work or schools on Monday the 5th so stop Saturday . This is a public warning message. Don’t drink and drive , stay in bed til the headache goes probably about 5 Saturday it will pass .Then eat drink tea and just lay on the sofa til your head no longer aches and basically you are normal. Basically Sunday evening you’ll be fine.

For today and the rest of twixmas !!! Any other gen X ers thinking fuck it it’s cocktail time ! We can hold the alcohol we don’t puke in the street . We are warriors we drag ourselves to our beds pass out . Maybe if we were younger puke in the bathroom or bedroom bin .

What are you gen xers doing don’t want to hear about the men unless he looks like Chris hemsworth or Henry cavilll .

would also like to know any hangover cures I have not tried . Mine is basically stay in bed drink water if a child of my loins comes in .,,”leave me alone get me tea get me water IM ILL. terrible migraine etc or anyth8ng you can come up with cheers

I’ve been in work today and will be tomorrow, Wednesday and Friday. Most of my friends and family will be too.

I’m 49. I have no idea what you’re on about tbh.

Huh?

SilverPink · 29/12/2025 20:11

Not for me these days, I know my limits. A couple of cocktails or 2 or 3 gins and then I’m on the orange juice. I love going out and day drinking, just without the alcohol. My days of hangovers are done thanks.

MadisonMarieParksValetta · 29/12/2025 20:11

Lol what

AmyDuPlantier · 29/12/2025 20:12

Oh lord this reads like my mum when she’s had a few 😬

Egglio · 29/12/2025 20:12

I think you might need to stop today OP 😁

TheToteBagLady · 29/12/2025 20:13

Cheers OP 😎

Doyouthinktheyknow · 29/12/2025 20:13

Stopped drinking last Saturday, dry January from 1st innit! I’m getting ahead of the game 😇😜

We can tell.
As a Gen X, I have no idea what you are on about,

DogsAndFilms · 29/12/2025 20:14

I’m ahead of the game, I never started drinking.

laesosalt · 29/12/2025 20:16

Cheers! Enjoy 🥂

NeverDropYourMooncup · 29/12/2025 20:16

Incoherent streams of consciousness are quite a good example of why I'm quite content to not drink at all.

I'm perfectly capable of sounding like a complete idiot or doing something really stupid without the assistance of an intoxicating substance that'll make me feel like crap for hours, thanks.

Cherrysherbet · 29/12/2025 20:17

Erm you’ve lost me. I’m back at work already.
I get you said this is lighthearted, but this sounds a bit odd tbh. Maybe post again when you’ve sobered up.

colouringindoors · 29/12/2025 20:18

Love it OP 😅😅😅

Yourlifeinyourhands · 29/12/2025 20:20

Cringe

LighthouseLED · 29/12/2025 20:21

Surely one of the advantages of Gen X is that we had most of our heavy drinking days before the Internet could document how stupid we were when drunk?

Oh, wait…

TheBeaTgoeson1 · 29/12/2025 20:22

Eh?

GreenPoms · 29/12/2025 20:23

Wtf?

Whosthetabbynow · 29/12/2025 20:28

Hic

Anothercoffeex · 29/12/2025 20:33

I dont drink at all id rather have a sober mind at all times.

dicdicnurse · 29/12/2025 20:38

This made me chuckle! You go for it OP. Unfortunately I had to work today and will be in again tomorrow and Wednesday otherwise I would embrace your methods!
Dry January from (after) the weekend though Halo

"Lol im on my fifth cocktail"

We know, darling 😁

It is nice to be able to enjoy a few cocktails midweek without worrying about a 6am alarm though, you're right. Gone are the days when I could enjoy 2 for 1 Thursdays at 4 consecutive cocktail bars, sleep for 4 hours and do a full day at work on the Friday on nothing but a bacon roll and determination.

WhatFlavourIsIt · 29/12/2025 20:53

EY up!. The cringe gang are out. I hear you op, I've been pretty much tipsy since Christmas Eve. I love day drinking, it's like a great night out but I'm in bed by 9. I've got to make today my last because one of my staff has gone off sick so I'm stuck doing a move out clean on NYE:( .

grinchmcgrinchface · 29/12/2025 21:39

No thanks, I prefer being sober.
More to life than getting horribly drunk. Sad if your life just evolves around drinking.
