New foot in mouth outbreak in Cumbria
On Friday nights during my sixth form days - growing up in a small town where all pubs closed about 11:00 - we'd often end up back at the house of whoever's parents were away that weekend. On one such an occasion we ended up back at the house of a mate of my brother's. On landing back at this girl's gaff, the invited guests embarked on the standard mission to locate the in-house booze stash. After searching all likely hiding places I, in my semi-drunken state, began a long rant asking: "What kind of house has NO booze in it at all?!" The lady of the house was conspicuous in her silence and promptly left the room. My brother then pulled me aside to explain. Cue my ashen face when I heard these six words. "Her mum is a recovering alcoholic." I went home.

Yeah, but...
... if she was a recovering alcoholic, there ought to have been no problem. I mean: it's not like she'd've been drinking...

More her fault than yours. Why invite a bunch of drunken youths to your house if booze is totally off the cards?
