It's my birthday and I'm pissed off, all my plans are cancelled (yes, I know bigger things going on, I get it etc etc, meant to be light hearted) AIBU to crack open the bubbles at 12?
YANBU - Its your birthday, get as drunk as you like!
YABU - Don't be a ridiculous piss head, have some decorum.

I found a forgotten bottle of out of date bucks fizz next to an old but in date Christmas pudding yesterday, so that was dinner organised. Grin

I wouldn't even wait for midday! I turned 40 last October and the champagne was open at 7am before the coffee was brewed!

Have a lovely day and enjoy as best you can! 🥳

Its my birthday tomorrow and I should have been away on a city break with family, drinking cocktails and all the rest of it.

DH did the big essential shop on Friday and picked up a bottle of champagne too. It will be getting drunk pretty early for sure!

Happy birthday OP

Go for it. Happy Birthday and have one for me as I've just had some extremely good news about my health. Have a lovely day xxx

Happy Birthday!

who voted YABU? Shock

InsaneProbably · 06/04/2020 12:36

Who are the 5% voting YABU?! Enjoy your drinks! Happy Birthday!

It's my 40th soon, and we had made some actual plans for once, which no doubt will come to nothing now. I will definitely be having plentiful drinks and cake at home from as early as I feel like on the day!

NotNegan · 06/04/2020 12:48

YABU to ask.

I've just been furloughed so I may join you.

Oh wait, I still have to parent... 🙄

Waxonwaxoff0 · 06/04/2020 13:00

I hope you've opened it.

And the 5% who voted YABU, bet you're fun at parties. Biscuit

I don’t drink but chocolate is my treat so happy birthday.

Stellabellawella · 06/04/2020 13:13

Go for it birthday girl. I started on the bubbles the day before my birthday last week! Cheers and happy birthday Cake

GreyGardens88 · 06/04/2020 13:15

YANBU even if it's not your birthday

FudgeBrownie2019 · 06/04/2020 13:15

Happy Birthday! Ignore the YABU'ers who clearly have no idea how birthdays should be spent!

I cracked a bottle open at 9am Saturday for sheer joy of being able to sit in the garden in the sunshine. You can't judge folk in these troubled times; you do what you need to do to remain happy.

JanewaysBun · 06/04/2020 13:17

Happy birthday! Drink it on any day you like and seeing as hotels have it out at breakfast I think that makes it ok to start at 7am jaja

Thekindyoufindinasecondhand · 06/04/2020 13:18

Yes and have one for me (I'm pregnant and would definitely be drinking from midday if I wasn't, Birthday or not) happy birthday!

Onemorefuck · 06/04/2020 13:19

YANBU.
it is your birthday.
Nothing is normal about the times at the moment.
Crack on and enjoy

Have some bubbles for me.

Happiest of birthdays @OscarWildesCat (brill name too)

PrincessHoneysuckle · 06/04/2020 13:20

Do it! It's my 40th on wed and I'll be having champagne with breakfast

lanbro · 06/04/2020 13:20

It's my 40th later this month, I'll certainly be cracking something open at lunchtime, had booked a trip to south east Asia to visit a friend which is obviously out the window!
