To get drunk when in sole care of the Dc?

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

I'm bloody fed up tonight.

Had a glass of wine.. but a couple of G%T's would go down a treat.

Gin and tonic...what's the worst that could happen.....

Do it and enjoy - when was the last time an emergency suddenly occurred at yours on a Friday night? You could always call a taxi if something did happen. Relax, have a bath, chill out, and tomorrow you'll feel so much better.

its up to you! your the mummy..personally i wouldn't

I can't understand the OP as I am too drunk.

ah yes imagine being in A&E stinking of booze

however they are both fast asleep and tucked up

Why take the chance?

when you and your husband/partner are both home does one of you remain continually sober in case of emergencies?
Not picking, curious!

I wouldn't get drunk when in sole charge of a child / children.

It's your call.

It depends what you mean by drunk.

Few drinks, bit tipsy - not the end of the world
Drinking so much that your judgement is impaired -unwise
Drinking yourself unconscious and thus being unwakeable in case of emergency - very foolish.

It's fine
people on their own surely do it all the time

well, not all the time compo

how drunk is drunk?

Harry Hill = hilarious drunk

or

Vomiting in own hair whilst unconscious drunk

Agree with Heqet: a few drinks to point of feeling tipsy is fine. But personally I would drink no more than that.

a few won't hurt. do it and enjoy. law of averages says all will be fine. in fact, i'm pissed already amd craving kebab meat and chips with chilli sauce and garlic mayo!

A couple of pub measures on top of a glass of wine wouldn't be awful unless you're a poncy lightweight

Well yes I'm a single mother. Though wouldn't have made a difference when exh lived here.

Not relevant now anyway as I've had a weak G&T and just want bed

Ahyes I might make a cheese sarnie before retiring - means I'm drunk for sure

A few drinks is fine as long as you have your sense about you. I have had a couple of glasses of wine, girls in bed, DH not home for another hour. Enjoy.

It's not sensible

I never drink if it's just me

I wouldn't wake if I needed to

Just irresponsible

sorry. But if you ae used to it maybe one drink would be Ok.

As per title, getting drunk = bloody stupid

devil, you know whats right chick, weak g and t strong g and t, whatever. PJ's and bed always nice though, although I still wnat soem kebab...

Plus kids know when you are drunk and will feel a bit worired

ime

you certainly know how to party dwp

lol at tethersend

There was a thread earlier about LPs having it tougher during the snow and while the OP didn't mention this particular situation, there was no mention of the luxury of having a few glasses of wine while someone else is there to see to the DC. I know I appreciate DH for just being there.

The OP of that thread was slated but it IS difficult having to worry about having a few drinks after the DC are in bed if there will be a problem when for instance you are the only adult who can drive for example. I was sort of in that position once and so I was teetotal for that time and it was very difficult.

If your used to it then it's fine
kids hopefully in bed by now fa, aren't yours?!?

That's not the point compo and none of your business

If you are drunk and there is a fire or your child voms in its sleep and you dont wake

that is the problem

I didn't say getting tipsy was wrong

but she asked about getting pissed.

Oh sorry thought this was a lighthearted thread
