Do you ever get nagged for drinking?

Deus Ex Machina

A lot of us will have enjoyed a nice weekend of drinking in the sun, so the last thing anyone wants is to be nagged by people about your drinking.

I've increased my drinking a lot this year and people have started commenting on it. It's the usual nonsense: o
We're not comfortable with having you in our home or can you stay off the drink for tonight if you're coming to dinner .


Life is hassle enough without having my free time encroached upon by this kind of attitude.




Anyone else sick of these kind of moaners?

Occasionally the giant pink rabbit who lives with me will pass a remark about it.

While I am partial to the drink, maybe those people have a reason for not wanting you to drink around them?

I wish I had someone to nag me about drinking ffs

Mr.Biscuits

We're not comfortable with having you in our home [..]

What exactly do you be getting up to for such a remark, Sounds like they may have a point,

Their house, their rules surely ?

Yeah, I don't get nagged so much as the way women express they are annoyed by crossing their arms and legs aggressively and bouncing the top leg very fast.

I get that a lot though.

Superbus

Insert joke about naggin/naggin' here.

flutterflye

Are you not the guy on some other thread who broke his fingers from drinking the other night? And did lots of other stuff too - I just can't remember what.
If that is the case, I can see why you'd be getting "nagged"!

McTigs

Sre you an arsehole/nuisance after a few drinks? Sounds like you might be hence their discomfort being around you when on the lash.

have a good think about it

kfallon

Nope! I'm all on me lonesome so nobody to nag/give out to me! I usually only drink on a Saturday anyway....sometimes a Friday too but I make sure I have no prior commitments before I go to the pub and off I go for the sport, the banter and the betting

im invisible

Few naggin's, be grand

People don't usually make remarks like that for no reason. Maybe they have more of a point than you're willing to condsider.

If people are telling you they aren't comfortable with you in their home when you've been drinking, surely that should be a big red flag?

Just down 10 pints of Guinness and projectile-shiit that shiit at them.

I agree with you. Stop allowing your friends to cook you dinner and just stay at home and get pi$$ed there instead.

Did you ever claim that you made the BBC?

I tend to drink to excess and I sometimes cause problems when I do, but I'm not much different to these people or many other Irish in this sense.

In fairness drinking to excess when only going to a dinner is a bit problematic in itself.

You are if you're the only one being asked to stop because you're making people uncomfortable, and they don't want to be around you when you're drunk.

I woke up in a Soho doorway, the policeman knew my name. He said 'you can go sleep at home tonight, if you can get up and walk away'.

Well what they don't realise is that all they're really just driving me back to the streets to drink alone. If they were concerned with people other than themselves and their pretentious little soiree they'd allow me to have a few drinks there and then leave instead of forbidding me from drinking.

The number of times I've ended up in a lane because of these kind of people is beyond calculation.

omahaid

Ya OP, I get nagged a bit. I'm in the frame nudging business. The most common nags I get are "Who are you?" and "What are you doing here?"

No, its because of your drinking you ended up in a lane.

What would you prefer they do?

Hmmm, maybe you're drinking too much? I mean, I doubt a warning/request like that would be issued if there wasn't reason for it.

Hard living ain't for everyone, If your drinking is starting to affect others then you have to look at that. I'd a tendency once to become very emotional whilst heavily inebriated and cause trouble for my loved ones hence driving them away in the process. I had to look at what was wrong in my life and fix it before I could stop this behaviour. Now I drink heavier than ever but instead of being the destructive drunken clown I'm the bon viveur, the drunken sage who passes wisdoms to fellow inebriated companions whilst on benders.

I get nagged.... Am asked "were you drinking again last night?" when my wine glass is spotted on the draining board.
I drink between 4 and 6 glasses of wine per week. Its just i only have one per night. My wife thinks i have a drink problem.

M cebee

what does happen on discussions is that drinkers put themselves in the shoes of alcoholics-so to speak

and think that the alcoholic can just cut down like they do

not referring to any post in particular
