The passengers on the bus complain that it makes you swerve all over the road?

OnHerMajestysSecretCervix · 29/03/2015 15:03

Because it makes you type like a twat.

(Seriously though I do like to indulge in an afternoon session every now and then when the small ones are with their dad.)

Hope you haven't got ironing to do, like me. If so, I'd wear oven mitts and hide the cat. Just in case.

HookedOnHooking · 29/03/2015 15:05

AND....

I shared the bottle with my mother in law. typing very carefully had a splendid time.

That depends if it was a bottle of wine or something stronger? Grin

I love an afternoon having lunch and wine, much more preferable to evening boozing.

I can't if I do I want to go to bed at 4pm and wake up at 8 with a hangover and very thirsty.

It's my birthday next Sat. I have asked that PILs take DD on Sunday (no-one really observes Easter stuff) instead and for DP and I to spend the afternoon imbibing. I'm hoping for the fabled heatwave so we can get out in those beer gardens.
Afternoon drinking ROCKS.

Trills · 29/03/2015 15:11

Mmmm, yes, summer beer garden. Lovely.

YoureAMeanGirl · 29/03/2015 15:13

Sweet Dez, you are a woman after my own heart. I long for summer beer gardens.

Afternoon drinking is great. You're typing skills are currently not. Grin

Had a lovely luncheon. Now fuzzily happily muzzzy.
Might have a nap.

Its less great when the hangover kicks in at 6pm though. I know I'm being a killjoy Grin

Shockers · 29/03/2015 21:27

I had a lovely holiday with a friend last year. Each day we would share a bottle of the local rose over a long lazy lunch. It didn't seem to affect our afternoons at all... we swam, biked and walked. Then we'd have a pick-me-up at around 5 and a sleep in the late afternoon sun.

It's the way forward Grin.

I like a sundowner, personally. AKA a six o clock sharpener.

lertgush · 30/03/2015 01:02

1-2 cocktails at lunchtime is ideal. Any more and it gets quite difficult when the kids walk in from school...

This is me!

If I drink at lunchtime or in the afternoon I will fall asleep for hours, wake up at bed time with a hangover and a raging thirst and because I have been asleep I am wide awake! It sucks because it means I miss out on the nice afternoon beers other people can enjoy, but frankly it aint worth it!

I have been told that the only way to avoid it is to keep drinking until bedtime, but I suspect that would just make me vomit!

ChiwetelFan · 30/03/2015 01:12

Not so great when you do 'vino collapse' sleep for 4 hours and are still very very awake @ 01:13, and have to get up for work at 6 …

YoureAMeanGirl · 30/03/2015 09:01

Oh no lert! I did, didn't I!

The shame!
