I wont lie though, I do this with gin as my living room is on a different floor to my kitchen. I asked for a mini fridge for Christmas but Santa was concerned it would encourage me.

Santa is such a judgy fucker Grin

MimiLaRue · 20/02/2020 18:17

YANBU. Drink away.

I cant drink any more- just makes me feel like shit the next day, no matter what the amount

PrincessHoneysuckle · 20/02/2020 18:18

@PrincessHoneysuckle well then cheers! I've got a quarter of rum in a massive glass. My units are shot for the week!

Saves washing up and reduces trip hazards

Lightweight.

Aposterhasnoname · 20/02/2020 18:22

Ooo, well I hope you’re not driving for the next week, or looking after children, and, yes you have a drink problem so get to AA immediately.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 20/02/2020 18:22

@HulksPurplePanties cheers!

I'm a lightweight now Mimi I used to be brilliant at drinking, good pace, never broke the deal and had a wee before 10, the odd soft drink as a nod to health.
Now if I have two shandies I get instant hangover and try and fight people at bus stops Sad

You need supersized ice cubes! I have a tray to make massive large spherical ones and they last ages.

MimiLaRue · 20/02/2020 18:24

@thequeef me too!

What has happened to us? cries

OldQueen1969 · 20/02/2020 18:24

Another YANBU from me. I'm eyeing up a frigging bucket at the moment and a straw.

(It will be an environmentally friendly metal straw. Just to be clear).

RaininSummer · 20/02/2020 18:24

My partner does this with gin or whisky with mixer but I hate it as part if the drunk ritual involves a nice glass.

PickleMyPepper · 20/02/2020 18:25

YABU for drinking vodka tonic Envy other than that, I applaud your resourcefulness.

Frownette · 20/02/2020 18:26

I've never tried vodka tonic, am I missing out??

PrincessHoneysuckle · 20/02/2020 18:27

@Frownette yes!! With lots of ice it's so refreshing and potent

I’m rubbish at calculating units so have t a clue how much that would be.

I was in a bar last night and had two double vodkas with tonic. Among my peers, I’m a total lightweight.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 20/02/2020 18:28

@Lucked We get the "cocktail" ice from Asda the finer shards bit like slush

It can't be any better than a pint of gin and tonic 😄

Or a gin glass of wine cos apparently we have no wine glasses wtf 😂

PickleMyPepper · 20/02/2020 18:29

@TheQueef I'm exactly the same. It's like my tolerance disappeared overnight .
One day I could go out on a school night, drink away till 4am and still get up at 7/8 to go to work or college without feeling too bad.

I went out on Saturday night just gone, stayed out till 4am and everything - it was a v. bad idea.
I'm just now (today..) getting over the hangover, anxiety, depression and heart palpitations as a result.

PickleMyPepper · 20/02/2020 18:30

Plus my DP had to piggyback me about because I couldn't walk in the heels I had chosen which were sensible and much lower than what I used to wear.

Cries

Frownette · 20/02/2020 18:31

@TheQueef if I see you at a bus stop I'll blow you a kiss! Then we can have an arm wrestle

Bunnyfuller · 20/02/2020 18:36

Sensible and balanced drinking.

RedPandaBear · 20/02/2020 18:37

Surely it depends on the proportion of vodka to tonic?

I always drink pints of vodka and diet coke, but I like it pretty diluted so works better in a pint glass!

Enjoy! Wine

TheQueef · 20/02/2020 18:40

I don't even catch the bus Frownette according to my pal I crossed over the main road as we walked home to interfere in some youngsters having a row and quickly escalated it into me throwing my coat off and shouting 'come one then hard man, now' at the top of my voice.
She was still waiting for the green man at the crossing.
She knows full well I've never had a real fight. Hmm

Oh Pickle the fear! I swear I get physical pain from the beer fear now I wither so much when I recall. Sad
