Sounds like great fun–except for the drinking part. Alcohol just makes me tired; I’m much more fun without it. And innebriated people are not very entertaining unless you’re innebriated too. :rollseyes:

Oh yeah, and Rum…Rum is my nemisis! It doesn’t just make me tired, it makes me utterly depressed! (temporarily). I can’t even go near it! It’s very bizarre.

So y’all will have to party without me.

Oh yes, and don’t forget to pair up with a Designated Knitter. Drinking and Knitting can be catostrophic! ahem Nik. Wasn’t it you that dipped your knitting into your wine that time? Be Warned! :lol:

22

:roflhard: yeah, the whole knitting/wine thing can be a problem. My advice…drink only clear liquids while knitting!

I thought that would NEVER be a problem until I was knitting whilst drinking a bit of red wine the other night. Fortunatley nothing was ruined, but lesson learned! :slight_smile:

23

I agree Amy, social sips are nice, some of the gals I work with go out on occasion and I have once or twice, but once they get going, they become a bunch of yellers! No fun at all! They’re hard enough to bear at work as it is… soooo I scope out craft stores for relaxation. :happydance:

“Friends don’t let friends Knit tipsy” :fingerwag:

Really? I think that is when they are the most entertaining!

And no, that was not me! I have never dipped! But my DH did make me sit under a blanket with my glass of wine incase I spilled :oops: I didn’t. I actually only had 2 glasses last night. I had red wine, and red wine just isn’t a get drunk kind of wine (for me).

Amy,

You’re thinking of Egeria. She had (still has) it in her signature.

“Never drink and knit. Ever.”

26

You girls are a riot!!! :roflhard:

Kemp~

Vodka and tonic. Not a lot of calories in it either. You must be 18 years or older to do it too :wink:

28

And it’s clear :wink:

Hey Jackie–is that how you got the red nose?

LOL…yep! But I’m feeling MUCH better now. Maybe that’s why I have so many big gaps in my knitting.

31

:roflhard: :roflhard:

32

Low in calories and I can knit with it? I’m in! [size=2]And plenty enough past 18 to do it![/size]

33

Is it 18 in Canada?

34

yup and I’m well over 18 as well :smiley:

35

Hi…I’m Silver…and I’m a DRUNK!

36

No way! Silver is well prepared in case of a hurricane! She also has lots of friends to entertain, I’m sure. I bet she has friends who hang out at her house all the time just so that they can drool over her very fine DH. :lol:

I’m going to go chase my portly DH, who greatly resembles Robin Williams, around the kitchen now. He’s making dinner. It’s one of his life goals to be able to make a great pizza. He hasn’t succeeded, yet. :lol:

37

I hardly ever drink, myself. But we do entertain a bit. However, most of the hard liquor is left over from a wedding a year and a half ago.

So… no. I’m hardly a “drunk”. I won’t pretend that I don’t drink, but just to put it in perspective, one beer and I’m rather tipsy. :roflhard:

38

Amen to all of us cheap dates! I love going out and only having a drink or two!

I was just joking, anyhow!!!

Ooh, but are any of you lucky enough to have a second fridge just for beer? :rollseyes: We have a keg in there pretty much all the time. Not that I love beer all that much, but my DH does. He brews it himself. And he sure does take up a lot of closet space with those brewing supplies. Makes me think I need to clear out some of it for my knitting stash…
