To be sick of all the 'gin' shit everywhere?

[WilburIsSomePig]

Gin hotels, gin tasting events, gin signs and mugs all over the bloody place.

Last year it was Prosecco, year before I think it was Pimms. Oh and I love gin but FFS all this marketing towards middle aged women (like me) gets on my tits.

Yes I probably am being unreasonable but FFS, there's even one of these >>>> now!

Yes. Yes. Yes. I hate the gin shit

Prosecco is everywhere still too. I don't mind that as I like it, but I don't like gin, and I feel left out. So YANBU, down with gin!

We need a [prosecco] whatsit. misses point

We got the as a tribute to Zombie. I love gin, YABU.

Yes!

I cut down on alcohol in a big way 6 months ago and it's amazing how much it features in daily life

But but but...

You can never have too much gin related shit.

Yeah it makes me cringe.

I love gin but someone recently told me that it's "just flavoured vodka", and I feel cheated! Bloody hate vodka!

I like gin, and prosecco.

But I know what you mean. Fads in general are annoying.

Yup, pretty much just juniper flavoured vodka.

Yes! As ubiquitous as "the mum blog"

The was for Zombie so for that YABU

I'm actually loving all the gin stuff. My local Morrison's has thirty different types of gin now, and so many different flavoured tonics I'm in heaven. Before that it was a pat butcher drink still. Now I'm positively cool for once.

Blame the SNP, gin is a major Scottish export these days. Keeps the distilleries busy while the whisky ages.

I had a birthday recently and was given:

gin and tonic candles (smells of lemon and is lovely actually).

a make up bag with 'I'm a GINdependent woman' on it - I shit you not.

a wooden sign with 'a large gin for me and my girls' on it. (From my mother in law).

Another former drinker here, I've really noticed the gin thing too, it's everywhere.

I do miss a though

I like gin and make my own sloe and damson varieties but the related tat, memes and assumptions that everyone woman over 30 lives for it are ridiculous.

YES. When exactly did gin become a signifier of middle class mum? Not too long ago, it was Rita and Emily getting hammered and wistful in Corrie.

Even though she drank whiskey, the was for zombie, so I think YABVVVU

Oh I don't mind the actual gin! It's all the trite shite that goes with it.

Completely unmoved by gin, as I am by the wine glass etc. Not part of my life so not bothering me at all.

Sorry Euphemia - it basically is. Vodka flavoured with juniper and other botanical.

Will you be ok?

Yes it drives me mental. I love gin but all the gin/prosecco shite everywhere makes me it's so fucking twee!

It is not flavoured vodka!
