Shouldn't whiskey have one of those keep away from eyes warnings on the bottle?

37% alcohol tends to. Grin

Were you doing eyeball shots again? We've talked about this.

OhTallulah · 22/11/2016 13:46

You're supposed to drink it, not use it for eyewash. Grin

RatOnnaStick · 22/11/2016 13:47

It's a bit early for hard liquor

HoneyDragon · 22/11/2016 13:49

They put it on baby soap but not whiskey it's outrageous. Smudged me mascara and I've wiped away half my eyebrow rinsing my eye.

The baby soap thing is a massive lie - put some in my eye (aged 15, bet with stupid sister), and it was excruciating.

YABVVVU to waste whiskey on your eye though.

HoneyDragon · 22/11/2016 13:52

Rats obviously I wasn't drinking whisky before the school run I was injecting it.

You know it says on baby soap to KEEP IT AWAY from eyes, yes? That should've been a clue.

And it's no more tears rhymes with hairs not tears rhymes with ears)

lol I think this is proof that it is too early

Soubriquet · 22/11/2016 13:57

No more tears as in skin tears?

No way. It's no more tears as in eye tears...which rhymes with ears

Waffles80 · 22/11/2016 13:58

The baby soap said "as gentle on the eyes as pure water". An aspiring young scientist, I wanted to test this claim.

Presumably pure water burns like acid and leaves you partially blind for 30 minutes while your sister wets herself laughing?

GrabtharsHammer · 22/11/2016 13:58

It's definitely tears/ears.

Put the whiskey down.

Waffles80 · 22/11/2016 14:00

Fuck me! They're still making their outlandish statement! I feel a strongly worded letter coming on.

Waffles80 · 22/11/2016 14:00

You haven't said what type of whiskey? Need to know so as to ensure I avoid it in my eyes.

Soubriquet · 22/11/2016 14:03

Bet it's Jack Daniels

Honey has always struck me as a JD person

HoneyDragon · 22/11/2016 14:04

I am sober as a judge, thank you Surely it really means as in hair tangles? That stuffs as bad as whiskey on eyeballs.

If you don't wear eyebrow pencil, that is strong stuff...

HoneyDragon · 22/11/2016 14:19

Sorry, my drawn on eyebrows. Not the sparse hairs that are my eyebrow reality.

Soubriquet · 22/11/2016 14:26

This you Honey?

Maybe a whiskey eyebrow job was needed Grin

RatOnnaStick · 22/11/2016 15:00

Ok I'm just going to ask what the whiskey is doing near the eye in the first place? Is there some trick I don't know about since I last bothered with make up in 2010?

tabulahrasa · 22/11/2016 15:03

"They put it on baby soap but not whiskey it's outrageous."

Well in fairness, most people tend not to wash in whisky...

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 22/11/2016 15:09

So if the bottle had had a warning message you'd have a) read it, b) kept the whiskey away from your eyes?

ErrolTheDragon · 22/11/2016 15:21

Honey has already explained, she wasnt drinking the whisky, she was injecting it. Presumably did that thing of holding a syringe vertically upwards and expelling a bit to get rid of air bubbles?

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 22/11/2016 15:23

In other festive beverage news, Baileys stings if used on your 'lady area'

You're welcome.

InfiniteSheldon · 22/11/2016 15:24

Nothing to add but oh my those eyebrows and Honey Jack Daniels would be a natural antiseptic but I still wouldn't use it as an eye wash
