I'm the designated driver tonight

[GhostSauce]

Just first world whingeing. It's my turn this year so it's only fair. DP has been out since lunchtime and is on his way home, and we're going out for extended big family dinner tonight.

I'm sipping my sad little tonic and lime, eyeing up a beautiful bottle of port that is for tomorrow.

WIBU to sack off going out, and sit drinking a bottle of port in my knickers while watching Scrooged and eating the pigs in blankets meant for tomorrow? I hate being the only sober person out.

Why would you need to strip to your knickers to drink port

Get an uber or taxi? You obviously fancy a drink 🥂

I have a teetotal husband so I’m never the driver
On the other side of this he can be very boring at times

It's your turn. Keep your clothes on and do your duty man

Tbh since I've started taking my turn it hasnt been as bad as I thought it would be. It's still fun without alcohol.

Get a taxi

We're in the sticks, as is the location we're going to. Would cost a bomb. And we have a taxi booked for tomorrow night that is going to cost £60.

I will suck it up and do my turn, would just rather not be the only sober one! DP has been on the beer then sherry apparently. Since when do a bunch of men in their 30-40s drink sherry in the pub?

I 've been there. I feel your pain. There s not much worse than staying sober the whole evening while the bunch you're ferrying about gets more and more drunker and stupid.
Plan to have a nice glass of port when you get back.
And look forward to waking up the only one without a hangover. That's a blessing

What's another 60 quid taxi? It's Christmas! Do it!

Lol at stripping to your knickers to drink port and eat pigs in blankets. Take a picture, it can be next year's Christmas card

Nope I think you sound hilarious, but.... port

PORT!

No.

I'm home! The drive was misty as fuck.

I'm now in front of father ted with a pint glass of wine.

I look forward to feeling relatively smug tomorrow when I'm fresh faced and perky and everyone else is hanging.

And I love port!

Port! I've got to go wrap a bottle for DP. Thanks for the reminder! And enjoy :)
