Gin has become a parody of itself. I do wish it would fuck off. It’s a hair’s breath away from becoming the new Prosecco
“Time for Prosecco!”
“I’m a Prosecco girl me!”
“I’ll never say no to a Prosecco”
Etc etc

Probably for the same reason there's such a lot of wanky gin about in the stores.

MaskingForIt · 06/12/2021 13:24

Because it’s become a wanky drink.

“Ooh, look at me drinking me gin, gosh, I’m such a high class rebel”

As PP says, it has become a parody of itself. It’ll end up drunk in a gutter soon.

That’s meant to say breadth, obviously 🙄

Hard seltzer's are waiting in the wings to take. They'll be the annoying drink soon.

It's been the flavour of the whole trend really, twee shite

I keep seeing that one boris. I like a proper gin...no flavours, just GIN.

I bought some Tarquin’s with blackberry a while back (reduced on Ocado). It was vaguely medicinal. The regular stuff is nice though.

As a gin drinker of the last 30 years this wanky gin shit does my head in. I just saw a Let the Festivities be Gin christmas card and I got ridiculously fucked off.
When I'm out I order the cheapest gin - usually Gordons and I love it. I'd probably pay extra if it came in an old fashioned wine glass, slice of lemon and half a bottle of schweppes. Old skool. Bah Humbug.

Yeah it's because gin is wanky
