The first ever...

[somebabiesmom]

...drunk WP post. I'm sure there have been others, I'm just the first to own up to it. I don't drink much, but in theory, it's my "birthday." Not really my birthday, but it would be very unlikely that I would drink during the week. I've had 2 beers and am half-cocked so...posting here. Obvs.

That's it. Anyone else livin' large?

[kam3100]

Not drinking because I have a 5k tomorrow. I'm curious about your "birthday"?

[supertrooper1]

Not tonight, but yesterday I was day drinking. I discovered Godiva liqueur mixed with Disaronno with a chocolate syrup drizzle in the glass.

Five beers in and DH is making me a frozen pizza, neighbor just went home. Resisting a sixth beer because that would lead to seven and I need to be super productive tomorrow. Happy "birthday"! (?)

[somebabiesmom]

My birthday is during the week. Today was my day to celebrate but had to help MIL move. Which tired out MH and left me alone to drink my fancy, expensive beer while watching Superman v. Batman (the extended cut). Fortunately I was able to catch up w a friend over the phone.

So glad to hear others are drinking though. We should make a regular thread out of this...

[somebabiesmom]

supertrooper1, I used to love the mudslides at Applebees. Is that anything like what you had? Getting smashed off of milkshakes would be heaven.

[judyblume14]

Wedding tonight. Lovely affair. I drove, so just a single glass of vino for me. Sad.

Happy "birthday" somebabiesmom!

I might have finished my son's apple juice on Friday so I could have a mixed drink. Needless to say he woke up super early Saturday and wanted juice. . .

[librarychica]

There was a drunk WP thread and I missed it! No!

I had every intention of having a glass of wine last night but I couldn't find the mini-bottles H bought me and so I went to bed. Lol.

Happy birthday somebabiesmom!

[supertrooper1]

I second a regular drinking thread.

somebabiesmom, mine didn't have Kahlua or ice cream like a mudslide, but that does give me ideas for variations...hmmm.

Will you hate me if I admit I have never been drunk? I actually really hate the taste of alcohol. The closest I ever came was when I had a glass and a half of champagne the day DH proposed...but I think I was more high on life than actually drunk. When I go drinky places I sip on a froufrou drink for a really long time. And also water.

[2chatter]

akafred - sometimes when out and not in the mood to drink I order seltzer with lime - and tell people it's a gin and tonic. It's just easier than explaining. I end up having a couple actual G&Ts when people buy rounds, but a much lower overall volume.

[helenahhandbasket]

Happy birthday somebabiesmom!

akafred, I've been drunk like 5 times in my while life. I hate being drunk like woah. If have anything to drink, maybe I will do a glass of wine, but only in social settings where it seems inappropriate to NOT drink.

Happy birthday, somebabiesmom!

When we were in college, DH had a neighbor who came over bragging about finding a "two beer bitch". A chick he could get drunk cheap (on 2 beers). I, too, am a two beer bitch, so here's to you! And 2chatter, damn, girl! You can hang!

I missed this thread because I was watching Iron Man in my bed. I liked it a lot more than expected.

[rere26]

Man, I missed it. I polished off 2 glasses of wine too. And by glasses, I may mean closer to a tumbler, but anywho.

[vavavictoria]

On the topic of how much wine is an acceptable serving. We went to a movie yesterday where they used to have 1 or 1.5 glasses as a serving. Now it's only 1 glass and it made me sad. Nobody drinks just 1!

[mustardseed2007]

I missed this thread b/c I was at a date night with DH watching Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Although we went to a theater that sells alcohol, right before we went I had a spiked caramel milkshake with bourbon and I was too full to eat or drink anything else. The milkshake was amaaazing.

Where I'm from we call that a two-can Sam.
Froot Loops reference FTW! 😂

DH and I are away on a kid-free weekend. I may have had several cocktails already and it's not quite 3pm. Oops.

[kimberlyb]

indyrowergirl , day drinking is my favorite activity on a kids-free weekend. Hope you had a good time!

+1 to never having been drunk.  I used to think I hated alcohol, but turns out I just hate beer and red wine, by the time I discovered I actually like other types I was past the drink to get drunk phase of my life, I guess.  I did come close with a pitcher of margaritas once...

I love the taste of alcohol, but most of the time, the buzz doesn't feel good so I stop at one. It was best in college when I was dying to do things I'd never done and had all these "secrets" I wanted to tell - but now? I don't want to climb a watertower or spend the whole next day watching Scooby Doo reruns and eating mac n cheese. But if that one drink does energize me, I usually want to chase it - which is never good and nowhere near as eventful as it used to be.

Happy birthday somebabiesmom!

[veronicajones]

“Happy Birthday” from all of us here, we are very happy and blessed to have you on our forum. It is my birthday as well today and I am super happy and super drunk. Me and my husband had vodka, whiskey, beer and almost everything I could find at the bar. N now I am out and not even able to puke

[tawneekevinson]

I still have a bottle of Dry Red Wine here. So I just usually have a couple of glass whenever I feel like drinking. The last one I had was just Sunday night.
