Can't believe what I am reading...

Some people think that it's ok to give a child alcohol (as long as over the age of 5)

What the actual fuck?

I've just remembered I've got a bottle of Berry sheridans. I think that might just satisfy my baileys craving.

Sheridans!

Haven't seen that since my klassy girlz holiday in Gran Canaria circa 1998.

Feel free to take your disgust with you.

LtEve - if you happen to spot the new Berries and Cream Sheridans (think that's what it was called) 3 words of advice:

Run! Run away!

I remember a boyfriend's mother giving me a Sheridans at Christmas (aged 14)

I thought her incredibly debonair...

Oh I see LtEve. Sorry my brain is addled from drinking Whisky as a child

I think as long as they don't get pissed it's fine. DS (8) is very hardy and can handle at least 3 blue wkd's. DD(2) is a lightweight and still has to have her martini with lemonade in.

Obviously I'm joking but as I'm guessing LtEve didn't give her DC a pint of Baileys. Just a wee glass, I can't see a problem. We were always given snowball at Christmas and then bottles of Castaway once I was a teenager.

There's a blast from the 90's Castaway!. Can you still get it?

You're leaving MN because some people don't agree with you thinking that people who let their children have a little alcohol at Xmas/Annniversaries etc?

How do you cope in RL?

Op is flouncing?

Ooops....sentence was supposed to end with "are the Devil"

Red lambrusco! Anyone remember that? That was definitely my Sunday dinner drink of choice!

The first time I ever had Sheridans was in 1998! On holiday too (Benalmadena)! I drank the bar dry of that and Baileys during the happy hour in the first few days. The barman was astonished that they had gone and he had to restock, and I had to survive on Manhattens until he got more in

Berry sheridans? Never heard of that, I think there's some of the normal stuff in our drinks cabinet though.

I recall getting a taste of a commercially made bottled snowball at Hogmanay from an early age as I suspect many of my age and geographical location did. Goodness knows if they still exist, they came in little foil topped bottles same as Babycham,which was also on offer.

Eldest son (9) sits on the sofa with me of an evening and has a sip of my wine, he's liked it since dipping his dummy in it to 'clean it' as a toddler - no idea ...

Made a lovely homemade baileys type drink over Xmas - yum - eee

Mad Dog 20/20....and Thunderbird (I've not touched Thunderbird since the unfortunate incident of 1990)

We used to have sips of red wine for communion. Didn't turn me religious. What's the problem?

My dd is a bit of a Saffy and does eye rolling at most "grown up" things, like tea or 2cm of Prosecco on NYE.

Don't know about castaway but I bought Hoopers Hooch for Christmas for old times sake

You can still get bottled Snowballs.

I bought a pack of 4 for Christmas.

Thunderbird... the memories!!

I really fancy a snowball now. I even have the advocat - but not the other stuff.

I was drinking very watered down wine at family meals from the age of 4 or 5. enough wine to turn the water slightly pink. For me, by the time I was in my teens I was used to nice wine and so didn't bother getting pissed on cheap booze.

Lmao @ LCHammer

Porto you only need lemonade
