...and try not to drink it all.

I bought a bottle of Baileys (£9 in ASDA).
Two days later it was gone.

Some fuckers been at it.

Baileys is serious booze ??

nah

SoMuchToBits · 29/11/2010 22:58

Lol, I was just going to say there would be no point getting mine in this early - it would definitely be gone by Christmas Grin

SoMuchToBits · 29/11/2010 22:58

Not Baileys, I hasten to add, I hate the stuff...

Been there and done that, 3 x 12 bottle cases of wine bought on Friday, 3 bottles gone on Saturday night between two of us.

Guilty of Baileys special offer scam too. Sad

MerrilyDefective · 29/11/2010 23:02

I love Baileys.
Only ever get it at Christmas.
And drank it in two days.

Am sitting here wishing it wasn't 11 o'clock with only one can of Stella left(DPS, but thats never made a difference before).

Bollocks to that!

Buy in the booze you know you won't drink, but are obliged to offer (in my case Baileys and Whiskey, vodka, rum, port), then leave the stuff you actually like until Christmas Eve. Then buy what you like. But double it. Nah, actually, triple it.

Then tipple it.

Baileys is for life not just for Christmas, lol lol!!!

AuraofDora · 01/12/2010 09:50

how?
brought some cases back from Bordeaux in August, MD, and dh didnt let me touch much; twas a genius plan - it's all there for christmas!

bailey's tastes industrial to me, like proper Irish Coffee though if done right
a whisky mac too hmmm..
love port, sherry, whisky, so sorted for this time of year

ClaireDeLoon · 01/12/2010 10:01

I've surprised myself (and DP) by having a bottle of baileys, half a dozen bottles of sancerre, half a dozen bottles of champagne plus a few bottles of malbec hanging around unopened for a few weeks now.

Mum2HarryandBen · 01/12/2010 11:08

hide the Bailey's, get sloshed when making Christmas dinner, you deserve it!

sixpercenttruejedi · 01/12/2010 11:47

DM has just dropped off a load from france. Boxes of red and white and crate of dumpies.
Already got in the mulled wine. That's not a bad start, I reckon.

nannynobblystockingnobs · 01/12/2010 11:51

We have booze that we can't drink yet as it's not ready; sloe gin, hawthorn and rosehip vodka, and christmas pudding vodka (not as vile as it sounds, does not contain pudding). Despite my valiant efforts they are as yet undrinkable :( Apart from that, so far we have ginger wine, bourbon and sailor jerry's, all of which I dislike. Bah!

Anniegetyourgun · 01/12/2010 12:10

Thanks for reminding me, I bought three bottles of Baileys the other week because they were on such a good offer it would be rude not to Grin Haven't been drinking it because I need to drive most days, but given that driving doesn't seem to be an option at the moment, maybe it's time to rummage it out. It's definitely rich thick drink weather.

sixpercenttruejedi · 01/12/2010 12:20

oooo, whats xmas pudding vodka? sounds good.
