Booze Like a Boss
Whilst the family weekly shopping trolley might have a cheeky bottle of wine or two lurking under the loo roll throughout the year..
…we Brits apparently turn into raving alcoholics (if our Christmas shopping trolleys are to be believed)
Bailey’s, Southern Comfort, Champagne, Gin, Malibu (please don’t, so much worse on the way up), Vodka, Beers (for the boys…sigh) White, Red, Rose… And it starts with Buck’s Fizz at Breakfast! There is nothing more likely to;
- unleash the fury of simmering tension
- make you overwhelmingly tired at lunchtime
- make someone say the wrong thing
And accelerate/deepen/amplify the post-face-stuffing SNORES
Which is obviously not annoying in the least..
So…..
Why not (at ‘dos’ and so on) aim to make sure it is BOOZE-FREE thing until you sit down to eat?
Or eat before you go if it’s a drinkies affair.
Get a spirit measure if you are going to drink spirits at home.
When people try to judge a single or double at home they ALWAYS overestimate
(you can easily have your safe weekly allowance in one afternoon without even having had that many actual drinks)
Match EVERYONE’S alcoholic drinks with a large glass of water every single time.
Have some nice soft drinks, like Freshly-Juiced Fruit Cocktail
to encourage people to take things slower.
And good old water. Posh water if that is more likely to get it drunk.
Although if Grandma Mary is likely to reprise her twerking demonstration from last year, by all means get her sh^tfaced.
“It’s what baby Jesus would have wanted… ;)”..possibly not.
Have a great Sunday
