YABU. It should be gin and tonic Grin

My friend and I at Christmas wanted to 'look at the boys sleeping' at a local boarding school. Rightly,security said no. We are in our early 50s. We may have been drinking.

I like gin, but think you might die from alcohol poisoning

katy1213 · 20/02/2020 19:00

Remember the Two Fat Ladies? The alcoholic one used to blame gallons of tonic water for ruining her metabolism.

HulksPurplePanties · 20/02/2020 19:02

Waiting for it.....

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 20/02/2020 19:04

I do this with pernod and coke. I can't bring myself to do it with gin though, I like a balloon glass with a long stem so I can feel fancy.

Coffeeandcrumpet · 20/02/2020 19:05

I used to do this in clubs when the drinks were cheap before midnight or whatever time... Good times

vodkaredbullgirl · 20/02/2020 19:07

I do that with my vodka and redbull, saves going back to the fridge lol.

OP you need to call AA immediately. You have a clear drinking problem and your dp is probably enabling you so you should LTB as well.

Seriously though, pour me one...

Bluewavescrashing · 20/02/2020 19:10

Reminds me of uni. Quad vods in a pint glass, only £2 each. Buckets on tables (for the inevitable puking). Good times.

Fizzypoo · 20/02/2020 19:13

In summer I drink pints of vodka soda and lime at the pub. I only have a double shot in my pint but it means my pint of vodka soda lasts as long as dps pint of larger.

Harrietthepie · 20/02/2020 19:14

Yabu, tonic is disgusting.

AngelofTheSilence · 20/02/2020 19:15

I don’t have this problem.....I’m sitting in the kitchen with my whiskey and coke with the bottles in front of me for easy refilling.

Bonus is the stair gate on the kitchen door preventing any children being able to climb on/ pinch/ bite me/ touch me at all [CNN wink] Grin

Cheers 🥂

AngelofTheSilence · 20/02/2020 19:16

Oh and you are most definitely not bu

DessertQueen · 20/02/2020 19:16

Only if you drink some for me, 6 months pregnant so unable to partake and missing it during half term 😂

HulksPurplePanties · 20/02/2020 19:17

Where the hell are you people in every other drinking thread? Seriously?

Auridon4life · 20/02/2020 19:18

Freeze the glass wet and get a nice frosty glass

SpamChaudFroid · 20/02/2020 19:25

I don't enjoy the effects of alcohol anymore (thanks peri Hmm), but sometimes get a craving for the taste of it. So I pour a single measure of toffee vodka into a pint glass and top up with ginger beer (pref Fentimens) and ice. It's the best alcoholic drink I've ever had. I know it sounds grim though Grin

Mitzicoco · 20/02/2020 19:27

Where have all the anti-drinkers gone? Normally these threads are full of people telling you off and sending you to AA!!! Maybe they are all sipping on their herbal teas miserably (joke) (well kind of)Smile

vodkaredbullgirl · 20/02/2020 19:30

I have a pint while i clean the kitchen.

exLtEveDallas · 20/02/2020 19:31

Last night I made a pint of mojito. Bloody lovely and the perfect end to a crappy day.

The problem was the second one...

CanIHaveATiaraPlease · 20/02/2020 19:34

I too remember those days @Bluewavescrashing

It’s because of those days I can no longer drink vodka. I now make do with Gin

percheron67 · 20/02/2020 19:40

Depends on how much Vodka and how much is tonic!?

PrincessHoneysuckle · 20/02/2020 19:42

I am so lucky with the posters on this thread Grin p.s I'm on my second pint

I think you are being extremely unreasonable, now if it was Vodka and diet coke or Vodka and Irn Bru i would be asking you to pour me one as well
