To ask my DH to doing his drinking games on Zoom

This has been going on for months now. We went to uni together and one night he lost a bet to drink a pint with a spoon. Now when we Zoom with other couples from uni I just want to chat, but all the lads lads lads want to do is make him drink with a spoon, and he does it! Me and the other girls keep telling them to stop but he says it's just a bit of fun.

They also do calls with just them and have to drink all their beer if they don't hit their glass twice on the table every time they put it down. They can't even say certain words (like 'grouse?'... don't ask me what the rest are IDGAF). By the time we're done he's always binned, once he pissed on a lamp! I don't mind him having a beer or two just can't deal with the games! I'm not being unreasonable right?

All sounds a bit childish and pathetic - maybe have separate chats? Men on one, women on the other

Oh dear!

Maybe he'll grow up one day, get tired of living the Uni Joke role!

It sounds quite tiresome.

How old are you? Sounds like the rugby lads on a night out - mildly entertaining at 20, less so at 35...

Brefugee · 08/01/2021 15:44

blimey, OP, how old are you all?

Are you 18?

SeanBeansMistress94 · 08/01/2021 15:50

@rbe78 yeah it's so annoying, and he's fine when he's on his own!

@Brefugee I'm 26 and he's 27, bit old for it right?

Does sound extremely childish and annoying. I’d insist on separate chats. Maybe he can do his in the bathroom?

rbe78 · 08/01/2021 16:14

They do grow up eventually...

CuriousaboutSamphire · 08/01/2021 16:17

I have an alcoholic, left after 30+ years BIL who never did grow out of it. He's tapping 60 and is still the same childish twat he was when I met him.

Chillypenguin · 08/01/2021 16:18

It would annoy me as well, but I don’t think you can dictate what happens on the ‘boys’ chat.

Maybe just keep the calls separate

StillCoughingandLaughing · 08/01/2021 16:33

I think you should piss on all the other lamps. Mark your territory before he can.

ihatesandpits · 08/01/2021 16:38

How bloody long does it take to drink a pint with a spoon?
