There was always a drunk thread in days of old.

Resurrecting it.

Sauvignon Blanc going down well here.

I also have gin and tonic...not just any tonic...Fever Tree tonic.

Cheers.

@stophuggingme that sounds awesome.
My dogs are likely to wake me at 5am so this is my last glass. Sad

butterwithtoast · 28/03/2020 21:38

Derry girls and gin over here. The only way to get through the current situation! Cheers Wine

My local shop has deemed you are only allowed one of every product.. sharp ditched the two bottles of Sauvignon and grabbed a box wine Sauvignon with 3 bottles inside.
I may not have drunk box wine since the age of 22 but it's going down well.

Tongiht, we cracked out the champagne that we were given on our wedding day. End of the world so we might as well Grin

@Wolfiefan my dog will be asleep then she’s not an early bird but the kids are all up by 6
One of my three cats has now joined the dog. I am now trapped and need the loo.
Enjoy the wine

I miss the rabbit though.

On the sofa he snuggles under my cardigan and makes happy noises.

He is not allowed in my bed as he wees in it.

But I wuv him and his cuddly cuteness 😍

Had gin and red wine. Watching Louis Theroux documentaries and landed up with him and the Nazis. Very uncomfortable. Takes your mind off stuff though...

glueandstick · 28/03/2020 21:47

Im watching about mass murderes and drinking gin.

Make me feel better. I need a wee.

glueandstick · 28/03/2020 21:49

That judgemental health woman on the briefing the other day suggested we make the moT of this and come out fitter and healthier.

I’m getting through a bottle of gin a week.

Wolfiefan · 28/03/2020 21:50

Puppy. Hence the early start.
I’ve spent an awful lot of time reading about crimes and watching crime TV. World watch out when this is over. Blush

Wineislifex · 28/03/2020 21:53

I need the drink. Now more than ever!
Started with some hoopers alcoholic dandelion and burdock then moved onto the Sauvignon blanc
Watched ant and dec which I really enjoyed then last nights gogglebox
Living the dream 🥂

Cunninglittlevixen · 28/03/2020 21:54

Glueandstick - I'm getting fit and drinking, not at the same time mind,

GuiltyPleasure · 28/03/2020 21:55

Currently working through my healthy supply of my preferred wine (Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc). Will move onto the box of Pino Grigio when necessary in a couple of weeks & then worst case scenario there's a few bottles of Chardonnay (gifted) that I'd only usually use for cooking. I'm pretty much sorted for at least the next couple of 3 months.
I'll raise a glass in the company of mumsnetters who don't think that more than a thimble full at Christmas or special occasions means we have an alcohol problem 🥂

Walkingtohealth · 28/03/2020 21:57

12% wine, that’s basically juice made me laugh out loud.

I’ve run out of wine and have started on gin,
DH complaining as apparently when I drink I kick him in bed. He’d be bored if he hadn’t married me,

Yeah I'm genuinely scared about a future where alcohol is deemed a non-essential and I can't buy any more.

I don't have any boxes of wine.

Anyone got a recipe for bathtub gin?

MrsSnitchnose · 28/03/2020 22:04

Can join just as an observer? I don't drink but this thread will no doubt cheer me up

paxillin · 28/03/2020 22:06

Soaks!

I shared a bottle of appalling wine with DH, then switched to beer. Hic.

glueandstick · 28/03/2020 22:09

@ZeldaPrincessOfHyrule

It can be done. But be very careful about making sure it’s done properly. Don’t want any one dying from it.

Now you can make wine from anything. I think I’m going to give it a go this year.

SpringCrow · 28/03/2020 22:13

I went with DP today to help him lug farm supplies around only because the adjunct shop sells booze. Got three bottles of 12% juice and a box of lager. And a jar of mustard, obvs.

butterwithtoast · 28/03/2020 22:15

My resolution to have at least 3 drink free days a week has fallen by the wayside this week. I had a good run, but pandemic lockdown with 2 under 3s is too much to deal with without a nightly gin. It's a blessing in disguise that I can't go to the shops or I'd be stress eating Easter eggs too.

paxillin · 28/03/2020 22:18

My resolution to have at least 3 drink free days a week I think comfortably numb is better under the current circumstances.

YouTheCat · 28/03/2020 22:26

I am drinking something cheeky and Italian. Not getting drunk though I reckon the gin is calling. I'm aiming to just drink at the weekends though I did count Thursday as the weekend as I've only worked two mornings this week (work in school and they're trying to keep staffing levels appropriate for the need).

tobee · 28/03/2020 22:29

Drinking Pinot Grigio here and listening to The Now Show on BBC Sounds

OhMargo · 28/03/2020 23:19

Any port in a storm. Do what makes you happy. This time in our lives is total shit.

Wish you all well folks, and we hope for best.

Zombiemum1946 · 28/03/2020 23:22

Finally got my hands on some tonic so on the gin. Not drunk yet as dd only just went to sleep. Won't be terribly long though 😁
