Make it slim line tonic and you don't have to worry sooooo much about the sugar.

Thursday half term, GCSE year - its a damn fine idea...off to copy you!

See, now this the problem.
Intrigued, I had to get to the back of the cupboard to get the measuring jug and scales out.
So, for my pint or actually 508ml (taken in a smaller glass, for dainty) I've had 2 drinks.
Each one contained 88ml of rum.
Units shot for the month because I intend to have another.
I am standing in my kitchen tho, which is about 7 meters (seeing as I'm in metric at this point) from the sofa.
Does that mean I need help?
(No children or family members were harmed in this experiment)

I see many many benfits. YANBU. However for the Mumsnet crowd, YABU and an alcoholic, get to AA you heathen!

NurseButtercup · 20/02/2020 19:48

Really want a vodka and red bull now

CanIHaveATiaraPlease · 20/02/2020 19:51

I’m now conflicted

I was going to have wine

But now I want gin

I cannot combine the 2 as I will be sick (no stamina anymore -student me would be embarrassed)

Decisions decisions

vodkaredbullgirl · 20/02/2020 19:53

The way i see it is, its no different than having a 9-10 small vodka's.

Yellowmellowgem · 20/02/2020 19:57

... is this not the normal way?!

AngelofTheSilence · 20/02/2020 20:09

Loving the non judgmental reply’s so far........had to send DP out for more coke, 2 whiskeys was not enough.
I’ve just been asked if I’m actually planning on leaving the kitchen at any point tonight.
I think this half term may have broken me 😒

TheReef · 20/02/2020 20:14

Pint of vodka and cherry coke Grin although the only reason I might have a smaller one is because it goes flat in a bigger glass Wink

PrincessHoneysuckle · 20/02/2020 20:17

@TheReef cherry brandy and coke is lovely if you want a cherry coke taste

Wine
TheFaerieQueene · 20/02/2020 20:23

I hope you have a squeeze of lime in it!

HelenaJustina · 20/02/2020 20:27

Now I want gin whines

How irresponsible is it to drink when you are sole adult with 4 under 12 in bed upstairs? Asking for a friend.

I know normal MN thread would say very...

AngelofTheSilence · 20/02/2020 20:45

@HelenaJustina on your own with 4!..... surely no one (even on mn) will begrudge you one or two Wink

rosegoldivy · 20/02/2020 20:53

Is MN broken? I can't believe the amount of posters who are condoning this and thinks that it's okay to drink so irresponsibly.
I mean I'm one of those posters but I'm sure someone will be along to tell you YABU.

In the mean time pass me the gin please.

Laiste · 20/02/2020 21:01

No no no.
It's JD and cherry coke!

isabellerossignol · 20/02/2020 21:02

I've never seen a drinking thread like this one before.

I'm going to say Yabu but that's because I hate the taste of vodka so it sounds horrific, not because I'm a puritan.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 20/02/2020 21:04

laiste or cherry bourbon and cherry coke?

WatchingFromTheWings · 20/02/2020 21:06

I do that all the time! I do put tons of ice in it though.

Bluewavescrashing · 20/02/2020 21:12

Must be half term 😂
