It’s not big and it’s not clever…


But when I was 19 I once drank an entire Litre bottle of vodka in about 1 hour.

Only as it happens…I didn’t

One previous night my dad – the man from whom I have inherited my happy ‘alco-ma-holism’ decided to half-inch a few glasses of vodka from my private stash. To cover his shame he topped it up with water. Next day he did the same….and the next…and the next….after a couple more days he’d decided there was no point in watering the vodka down any more (how thoughtful) so he quaffed the lot and filled it up with water. Imagine my surprise!

Oh, and one time when I was about 6 years old my mum took me to Sainsburys, gave me a handful of olives, told me they were grapes and chuckled as I chomped the lot down.

Laugh? I nearly yacked all over the Deli counter.

Good times.

Dilute vodka
ties in nicely with Legless's homeopathy rant!

And I can sympathise with you over the olives. That's one of the few foods I find completely objectionable.

i did actuall drink a litre of vodka
but over the space of about 3-4 hours, and it made me quite violently ill! the joys of teenage depression! still never did it again - there was the 750cc vodka and 6 pack of stella at uni, but again, toilet hugging city for quite a while!

Me dad did the vodka one, but with gin.
He drank a full bottle of me mum's gin one night, and replaced it all with water, with the intention of buying another bottle at the end of the week. Unfortunately me mam had visitors and gave them all a drop of gin each, much to the confusion of the guests as they were taking sips and a "quiet confession to mum" in the kitchen from dad ensued. He actually tried to ride out the lie until they were drinking the water too, hoping they wouldn't notice lol

One of my sons
Loves olives - has done since he was very small...even now I think he's the only kid in his primary school to take a tub of olives for his morning snack.


We're cultured and have sophisticated palates in our house.

@ pooflake
I think your mum hates you. Seeing as olives are the worst crime against food, that's pretty sneaky.
