I know it's the season of goodwill and all...

On a scale of 1-10, how much would this annoy you?
Some of you might be not at all.

If you have slaved over your Christmas Dinner (and it's not just the cooking, it's the shopping, the preparation, the timing, and the cost) and your guests/family/friends are getting tired and emotional ie drunk.
You mght not mind because maybe you've all had a drink.
But I don't drink myself, and there have been times (not Christmas or New Year just a normal weekend) where DH has had more than is good for him. He sits in front of his dinner and he honesty isn't focused or enjoying it. Just eating because it's there, but it could just as easily be bread for all the difference it makes.
He's fine to have a drink-he doesn't drive.

But if he did it on Christmas Day, I'd fecking plant him.

and breathe..

It is annoying when all around are pissed and you aren't. I'd normally say either drink yourself or don't put yourself in a situation where you are surrounded by drunkards, but I'm guessing neither are possible. So I'd give it an 8.

Specifically Christmas dinner, if I knew they would all be trolleyed, then I'd make the effort on the canapes and do the bare minimum for any food they are going to eat once ratarsed.

TBH, in our house I'm normally the,er, merriest on Christmas Day. I find cooking very thirsty work.

My former neighbours (bless 'em) used to like a drink or two on Christmas Day and they told me they cooked the dinner on Christmas Eve, and just plated up and micowaved it on Christmas Day.

But if you don't want your DH and guests getting ratarsed in the first place, then you need to tell them.

But I do like a pint of Buck's Fizz myself on Christmas morning. So a 5.

Alcohol has v low priority in our house because OH and I are people that are not really bothered whether we drink or not. When I met my OH he didn't drink at all and although he does now, it is literally a single can of something and I've never seem him merry.
My family like a drink or two, but never to the point of being drunk either so the situation is not something I have had to put up with.

I'd be v annoyed if I'd put a lot of effort into something and it went unnoticed through people being sloshed. Bad manners.
