I’d rather have a J2O than her fizzy water with rosemary .

What is a grown up alternative? Seedlip? Because that isn’t cheap and some people who don’t drink don’t want the alcohol substitutes. Added to the fact some of them (Spencer’s Clean Co for example) contain 0.5% alcohol so many people can’t actually drink a selection of her “grown up alternatives.”

You’ve had a hard day Jack, wash the teaspoons, dyson the carpets and go to bed.

I have a bottle of the garden seedlip. It tastes of peas. I'll take a bottled juice thanks, unless it's also pea flavoured.

(Tangent: Ordered this fantastic no alcohol golden spirit (spiced rum) from Sainsbury's and the delivery driver was only bloody Jamaican.
I had to tell him that the noise he heard as I lifted it up was the sound of my extended family disowning me but we did end up having a nice chat about Wray & Nephew, so that was fun, and it actually happened, unlike Jack's tweets, but it was still about £20 for the bottle.

ETA link because it's alcohol free actually, very nice https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui...ohol-spirits/the-clean-liquor-co-clean-r-70cl)

in NI if the place does cocktails, it will also have no alcohol cocktail options. I'm sure it's quite common everywhere

Also if you need to say no more than once, that's another issue beyond drink

I rarely drink, in fact despite there being alcohol present at my families all Christmas I chose a cold cola/ hot drink alternative. Now I know I don't have a drink problem but there is so much more available than alcohol in most people's homes and restaurants and also if she really wants to watch what she drinks she could do that crazy thing and bring her own...
I know maverick here. I always bring a bottle to a party and I usually drink it.
 
I thought Jack was logging off earlier as no good would come of them being on Twitter when so whatever it was they were claiming? Why is Jack still posting bollocks? Ah yes, same old same old or the ‘twas ever was I can’t remember fully.

ETA: Easter Island Eamon looks mildly amused in his mask🗿.

Also got my court outfit sorted a few threads ago….am I holding hands with the prune wearing Fraus?

Same, there are loads of occasions I go to where I don't drink for one reason or another. I've never had an issue with ordering a nice ice cold coke or a ginger beer and lime or whatever. There's also San Pell and La Croix and all sorts these days that you can bring to gatherings. I've never even heard of J20!

Does anyone remember the j20s with glitter, I loved those when I was pregnant as it made me feel like I was taking part but being safe.
