Last night I finished off the aforementioned Litre bottle of Gin
Should it of lasted me longer or is 2 months about right to see off a bottle of Gin?

1 litre? Depends how much else you drink but I don't think it's that quick

cheers Wine

What took you so long?

catseverywhere · 20/02/2011 19:44

It's not that quick at all.

My ex got me a bottle of Ouzo from holiday a couple of weeks ago - there's a very large dent in it already.

Erm it would last 3 days with me. I am not joking.

LaWeasel · 20/02/2011 20:01

I would think a month was fair, although I share. And don't drink gin. Strictly rum atm.

FrottageCod · 20/02/2011 20:22

Don't come and look in my glass recycling bag, will you!

Two months is fine

for a mouse

thenightsky · 20/02/2011 20:26

2 months Shock

You Slouch!

tulpe · 20/02/2011 20:42

LOL at FrottageCod - when I have to take the glass recycling bin out I do so very early in the morning and make sure that it is well hidden behind other bags :o

FrottageCod · 21/02/2011 20:02

Same tulpe, embarrassing at times and I DREAD seeing folk I know at the bottle bank

"Erm it would last 3 days with me. I am not joking."

I have just looked at my litre bottle of gin. One unit of acohol is 25ml, so that represents 40 units. If you are really not joking then you have a serious drinking problem.

eddiemccready · 21/02/2011 20:17

Lol! Went through that in xmas week alone!

Newgolddream · 21/02/2011 20:17

I could drink a litre bottle of vodka in a week Smile

backwardpossom · 21/02/2011 20:19

Wow, really? 2 months? Ample time for a litre of gin. Grin

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 21/02/2011 20:23

Good god you'd faint if you saw me plough through rum Blush

HighHeidYin · 21/02/2011 20:24

Will noone think of the poor livers?

I make sure I am nowhere near when the recycling lorry comes to collect our bin. They must groan when they get to our house Blush

2 months is very ample.

I class myself as a moderate drinker but in reality I drink more than the Govts. recommended allowance. I drink 2 to 3 bottles of wine a week which equals 16-24 units......

Gin is a treat for high days and holidays.

2 months, you slacker. . .

pizzadelivery · 21/02/2011 23:48

Two months, have you had flu or some other debilitating illness? If not I'll go halves with GlynistheGimmer we aren't going to improve the economy if you don't buy it and drink it more frequently!

HighHeidYin I think of the livers! Mine is called Lorenzo and needs a good squeeze every week or so! Smile

I also recycle early...'tis those bottles of Appletise and pasta sauce that clink so! Blush

redpanda13 · 22/02/2011 00:44

I do drink gin. I had a Christmas litre. It was gone by the 2nd Jan Blush
In my defence that is it until my Summer hols now.
