The headache I had from a night on southern comfort when I was about 17 was indescribable. Never touched the stuff since.
Don’t really bother much now, I enjoy watching my friends make tits of themselves. I do like a flavoured gin and lemonade from time to time but as I’m incredibly allergic to aspartame and 90% of lemonades out there seem to have it, it’s an occasional treat. Fortunately the establishment I frequent is owned by a friend who keeps a bottle of Waitrose lemonade tucked away for me behind the bar bless him.
 
Oh lord- thread of the night for me is one about finding a “nice” dress for o/p to wear when she elopes.

Wolf and badger is in there. So are kimono’s. No sisterwife, but vampire wife gets a recommendation.

I particularly like this one:

Elope? It’s asking for a divorce if you spend the wedding budget on that pile of black trash bags.

Isn’t the whole point of eloping that there is no plan? You just decide to do it there and then? It seems people now call it eloping when really they mean go away to have a small wedding in a place where they don’t live. We eloped. Decided on a Wednesday to get married that day. Went to get the license, only to be told there is a 3-day waiting period so we had to wait until Saturday. No guests. No photographer. No music. No flowers. Just us and the officiant. It took 7 minutes. Then we went to Red Robin afterwards. No one knew anything about it until the next day when we texted a few family members to say “well, we got married yesterday”.

We have MN at its finest with the cold meat thread. The poster’s husband likes to help himself to slices of cold meat from the refrigerator. So far we’ve had: bulimia, organ damage, mental health problems, eating disorder, thyroid problem. The man runs 12 miles a day and is training for a marathon.

I used to drink vodka with lemon squash as a mixer at uni, vodka is a hard no now. And smelling Red Bull turns by stomach now too after far too many £1 vodka red bulls.

I don't think anyone should drink Red Bull now, in support of poor beleaguered Ginger Spice. Even Mumsnet have a thread about the scandal, although the majority of them think the leaked messages are fake.

Probably because a Christian Horner type millionaire making them lady of a Cotswolds manor is their lifelong dream just like Geri.

Never been much of a fan of alcohol myself. Although, a mate once purloined a bottle of tequila from behind the bar of our local dive of a pub and we necked it down at a house party. It tasted like petrol going down and tasted like petrol again coming back up.
 
Another 80s child here. Went to a naice school oft lauded over there - and with all the maturity a gaggle of 14 year olds can muster we planned our first binge-drinking with military precision. This meant not eating all day because we were so confident on our ability to hold our booze and then flirting with men outside threshers until they’d buy for us.

I necked my bottle of Martini (class!) in about 20 minutes and 4 hours later my dad had to pick me up covered in vomit.

I was woken up what felt like 7 minutes later to go and muck out the horses.

Joke was on my dad though as 14 year olds don’t get hangovers.
