I Don't Drink, But Some Days I Wish I Did

I would make a lousy drunk as I get sick and not happy. Hubby and I occasionally share a beer. Once in a while a half glass of wine. On a rare occasion he’ll make himself a martini glass of gin with a few olives. But yes, there are times when I wish I could indulge and party happily.

Some days are definitely better with alcohol

Bob said...

I wish I had a shaker that could do the work for me.

Tom said...

...I haven't had a drive in over 40 years.

Marie Smith said...

The little one drinking is priceless! I’ve seen those precious moments and will always remember them.

Yorkshire Pudding said...

So the truth is that "She Who Seeks" does not seek pubs or bars or the alcohol sections in supermarkets? That's obviously okay because alcohol has caused so many bad issues for humans from health to behaviour.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Yorkshire Pudding -- That's right. If I have one drink per year, that's a lot for me. And that one drink is usually an eggnog 'n rum at Christmas, or maybe an occasional Black Russian or Moscow Mule if I'm on holiday somewhere. I gave up even social drinking when I became a diabetic. Any form of alcohol turns to pure sugar in the bloodstream.

One of my old friends was of the multiple martinis persuasion until his doctor insisted two must be the limit. Then he made two giant martinis..
I haven't had my favorite prosecco for years, since a medication issue. It was fun, but I don't really miss it.

The martini glasses topped with carry out lids is priceless!

sirkkis said...

I must confess: I had a heavy shopping day and I bought a bottle of red wine and just drank a glass 🍷😆

Cleora Borealis said...

🍸🤬 Yah Bob, but I started screaming "stop shaking already and pour me my 'tini!" 😘

Granny Annie said...

Haven't we all wished for a to-go martini! LOL

whkattk said...

These are great! I may have to...um..."borrow" a couple. 😁

whkattk said...

Oh, and I see that Maddie is out of Gin, again. LOL

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

Hahahaha
'I talk in cursive' OMG I HAVE GOT to use that one!

XOXO

I quit drinking alcohol 30 years ago and have never missed it.

Pixie said...

I wish I drank more. I'm like 1 drink every two months, at most, but some days I wouldn't mind getting drunk. I loathe hangovers though and the last time I was that drunk was 31 years ago:)

Moving with Mitchell said...

That last one sums me up! I don’t drink anymore (because I’m not allowed). It really pisses me off. I stopped binging a long, long time ago. I now miss that pleasant little buzz I would feel after only a few sips.

Kirk said...

It worked so well for Dino, but that's because I think he faked it much of the time.

Lady M said...

Awe booze - I love it but as I get older I drink less and less because after all, it is just poison. Yet I feel sad because I really enjoy a booze fueled socializing. Which is worse? Booze or loneliness?

peppylady (Dora) said...

I drink very little. One could classify me as a tea toddler, or even coffee toddler.

Rade said...

Love these! Snagged several! Dino!!

Leanna said...

OMG! How did you find my Gin Signal?

e said...

I've quit the drink as well. Good thing, because if I tried to numb this current reality I'd be drunk for at least 4 years...

Tundra Bunny said...

Isn't that first one Maddie's call sign?!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Tundra Bunny -- Yes and I may have stolen it from his blog, if memory serves. Along with a couple of other ones, too!

Mary Kirkland said...

I don't drink either but some days I consider it. lol

Bill said...

LOL, drinking a lot is not recommended. I wish I thought of that in my younger days. :)

DVArtist said...

These are great. I had to stop drinking beer and I do miss a cold one.

DB Stewart said...

Talking in cursive, lol.

ArcticFox said...

i love drinking.... but i am rubbish at hangovers

roentare said...

Drinking is a state of identity

Mistress Maddie said...

Oh lordy...drinking?!?! I try not too!

I enjoy one gin martini. Two at the most. Three I'm under the table. And four I'm under my host.

Rawknrobyn.blogspot.com said...

Talking in cursive - I like that.
I hear ya about not drinking but sometimes...It takes a lot of strength to stay sober these days!

baili said...

So much fun 😂
Loved the baby drinking hahaha🤗🥰♥️

Travel said...

I like the martini covers. Those would be handy.

Liz Hinds said...

Good one, Dino! Especially when my children were little I would often say, "I wish that I drank because I could do with a drink now!"

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

You always slay with your memes. I love the bat signal since that would be my call.

Janie Junebug said...

That's what's wrong with me: I don't drink . . . enough.

Love,
Janie

LA Paylor said...

I hardly ever drink alcohol these days but man, sadly, happily, I can relate to almost all of those! Thank you, that was fun
