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I found a forgotten bottle of out of date bucks fizz next to an old but in date Christmas pudding yesterday, so that was dinner organised.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

JigsawsAreInPieces · 06/04/2020 12:35

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 birthdayCake. Mine is the end of April. Definitely getting some champagne now.

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

Holothane · 06/04/2020 13:04

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!
