To dislike the culture of alcohol worship on MN?

[MumblingRagDoll]

I know it's all lighthearted....but I find it icky. Not people saying ..have a to cheer someone up so much...but all the "Just waiting till' wine o clock statements get to me.
I think it's because a close relative is an acoholic and I have seen the damage.

Alcohol is such a damaging thing...and I'm genuinely surprised (and yes...judgey) about how many parents seem to rely on it every night.

You need to allow some time to bend your knees and pray for all those sinners there. And get up for early services!

I just came back from a champagne tasting evening, and can safely say that YABU and a spoilsport

yes, and the one in that big glass?

Sounds like fun Cote! Could you tell the difference between the posh ones and the bargain bins? I always "think" I know which Champagne I prefer but a blind taste test would probably out me as a Lambrini drinker

expat......

Are you a sinner?

'a champagne tasting evening'

is that the new euphemism for getting blathered?

Ah you people are already on the spliff.

I would partake if I hadn't already loaded up on the champagne

I can't tell between any two bottles of champagne, regardless of price. It all tasted pretty good, though. This is what I mean by champagne tasting evening. Walking between shops looking pretty and letting people fill your glass.

OP - Eat your heart out

I see people spit in wine tasting events and can't really understand why they do it. Surely the fun is in the drinking?

FFS......don't you all spit.

'Opération réalisée en partenariat avec UBS BANK et BMW Bac Monte-Carlo'

I might have guessed that bankers would have had a hand in it.

claig, you weirdo

Wha?????

Ah, that's why there was a cabriolet BMW parked in the middle of the shopping mall, then.

'Falling down'........????

It has its ups and downs, but it's usually a pretty good place to live

OP wouldn't have fun here, though. Wine o'clock starts at about noon on the beach and just continues from there.

'It has its ups and downs, but it's usually a pretty good place to live'

Yes, I know what you mean, Bognor is the same.

just less champagne, more Blue Nun

Oui, c'est toujours comme ca, claig.

Billecart Salmon Rose, Cote. Voila la difference!

exactement

vous etes des buveuses incorrigibles. Moi, je prends d'habitude de l'eau, parfois avec un petit peu de vin.

Well this makes a pleasant change from the 'lil lol Huns who've been populating this board recently :o.
