    Well yes but she doesn't know that. Although I did come home steamed one time and she punched me a few times. (bint).
    Eh she just has a severe hatred for alcohol, you must know some people like that?

    1.gif Thinks / nope.
    Seriously now that you ask l really don't, but l have never abused alcohol or hung around with people who did. So maybe thats why l have never come across anyone with a hatred for it.:)

    EDIT: maybe Never is stretching it a bit. There was that night......

    I have met one or two people who's mothers have had a similar attitude to booze in fairness, but its rare enough I guess.

    Maybe lf someone doesn't drink , they find it hard to understand those who do.

    My mom's pretty vehemently against alcohol. She'd never punch us or anything though. It stems from her having an alcoholic father and having been married to an alcoholic and seeing what alcohol can do to people and families.

    Yep, as a non-smoker I fail to see the attraction of smoking, yet millions of people do it. I'm sure it's the same with many non-drinkers.

    Apart from drinks on family occasions and the odd glass of wine with dinner, no. However, the last time I visited my sister in England we went out and one of her friends brought her mother along. I found it a bit strange to be honest, her mum was all fake tanned and in skinny jeans and a low-cut top, my sister says that her friend and her mum often go out together and even go on the pull (!!!) together. My parents are still together, but if they weren't I still couldn't imagine going out on the pull with my mum!

    Can't believe nobody has said this yet.

    Yore ma prefers us both sober :pac:

    ok back on topic.. neither of us drink (really) - she gets legless after a glass of wine (oh how i've lol'd) and most i'll ever have at family occasions is a glass or two of wine..

    God no. Never ever ever. My mam doesn't drink but I'd never even dare drink in front of her. She'd just look at me disapprovingly and judge me forever.

    She disapproves of me drinking generally anyway so drinking with her is a never. Crazy woman...

    My mother generally gives out to myself and my sister when we go out drinking, so I highly doubt we'll ever go out drinking together!

    Having said that, she was completely hungover today after last night, and I was perfectly fine this morning even though I got home after her! She doesn't even remember getting my dad to answer the door at half 3 in the morning after I rang the doorbell because the woman managed to completely lock me out of the house. (My key wouldn't work because she left hers in the keyhole inside.)

    Basically, mother = hypocrite over drinking and also mother = a huge embarrassment when drinking, as proven by photos, so I will never go drinking with her.

    Well, we've been fairly drunk together and would have a glass of wine or vofka and coke if we're watching a film or something. Generally when we're drunk together we're on holidays with my aunt and granny and we're all having a few (getting memories of my aunt and I doing karaoke in Tenerife and the barmen giving everyone toilet paper to put in their ears!). Can't say I've been out on the lash per se but I have been to late bars etc whilst on hols.

    There was this one time when I was about 19 and living at home that I bought a nagin of vodka at the supermarket as I had a party coming up in a week or two where we were going to make cocktails. My contribution was the vodka. I went to get it from the drinks cabinet and it was 3/4 gone. My mum had partaken of a few drinks one night .... she had to run out and get me another one. Serves me right for putting it in the drinks cabinet!

    In my limited experience with this sort of thing, I've noticed it generally happens between mothers and children that have a good age gap, (like 30+) and usually the child is the youngest of the family, and they are all a bit more chummy.

    I'm the oldest in my family and my mum was quite young when she had me and we drink together when I visit. We stay at home because due to a bad breakup with my ex I can't go to the local pubs/clubs :( but yeah, we get drunk... I do however always make sure that she drinks more/gets drunker than I do... Seems disrespectful otherwise. :eek: Know its sneaky but she's not the easiest person to talk to sober at times so I've often taken advantage of her drunken state to tell her things!! :D

    My dad doesn't drink... He used to think we were mad even having wine with dinner. There is alcoholism in his family and he sees it as a slippery slope!! However with time (and the realisation that he had no control on his wife and eldest daughter!!) he has come around to the idea that we can drink in the house without being alcoholics!! He does however tend to go up to the room to watch tv in peace once the first bottle of wine is finished!! He knows where his tolerence ends I guess!

    no i'd rather stick pins in my eyes than have anything to do with my mother in a situation with alcohol involved. she frowns upon it, i wouldn't be able to relax and we don't have that type of relationship anyway where i'd want to have anything to do with her socially.

    I'm actually shocked, how many people are saying no here! I love drinking with my Mam, she's great fun with a few drinks on, and could drink me under the table any day.

    Neither of my parentals drink so that'd be a no. I'd love to see them both pissed just once for the laugh though.

    I have been drunk many a time with my Ma. She'll drink to an opening of a cereal box, but often doesn't want to suffer the stigma of drinking on her own, so she grabs me and plys me with wine.

    It's entertaining alright. I've only seen my dad drunk once, and it was highly entertaining. We still mock him over it.
