To think that dh should stop talking to me about alcohol (lighthearted)

Neither me nor dh drink much, but I did like a Baileys or a bit of rum over the winter. I've now been diagnosed with a serious illness which means I can't drink any alcohol at all. It's not a big deal, but I will miss it at Christmas and in the winter.

Dh has just spent time telling me how Baileys has rubbish ingredients in and he's found a tutorial on how to make the original without said ingredients. I asked him to stop because I can't have any. He then continued explaining 🙄 I asked him to stop and not be talking to me about nice drinks as I'm stuck with Ovaltine. He's gone off in a huff.

Do I hide his chocolate or fresh coffee beans or both?

(Yes, I know I'm still talking about alcohol).

Surely you can make an alcohol free Bailey's dupe? I guess it would be like milkshake?

I can't have anything fatty or sugary either though. I can get away with a drink of semi skimmed milk 😂
