Was alcohol involved when meeting your current partner?

NoviGlitzko

Just curious with some of the other threads here. Were you half cut when you met your partner on a night out, or was it something else?

Kevin McCloud

I was fully cut.

Betty Bloggs

Yes, probably too much!

shamrock55

Myself and the missus were langers when we first met(slow dance at a disco:D) married 10yrs now

ElleEm

Yep, we were both locked!

The Moldy Gowl

Yup. Plyed her with drink, brought her home, stuck on a movie, boiled the kettle, stuck me mickey inside her.

10/10 for romance

stimpson

Not a hope of scoring if she didn't have the beer goggles on.

Temptamperu

I was drinking heavily at the start now i don't sup at all.

Start a petition to bring back the slow set (its been so long since I've been in a night club I assume they are still gone)

I've known him about ten years so couldn't say for sure if alcohol was involved when we met, but there was definitely a lot of dutch courage required the night I cross-eyedly roared at him "I've always liked you you know" and lobbed the gob. Vaguely remember falling into a bush on the way home too. Oh well, it all worked out in the end.

No we're childhood friends. He did ask me out in a pub though.

The Moldy Gowl

But seriously, op, or anyone out there wondering how to get a lady to smell your willy.

Tea! If you are out and want to bring a girl home, I'm guessing she is drunk enough at that stage so don't offer her more alcohol. Offer her tea and a movie. No one will say no that, of she does say to have beer.

No self respecting girl will turn down tea and a Disney movie at 4 in the morning after sipping on bad decision juice for the evening. Then lob the gob and stick it inside her

Pro tip: kiss her on the mouth

anncoates

Yeah to be honest I was.

Saipanne

Yes. We were both so drunk we both have literally no memory of our conversation. But witnesses state that we were in fits of laughter.

Haven't looked back since. :-)

GHOST MGG

Met at a friends wedding,she was the stylist for the wedding...both of us hazily viewed each other over a packed banquet hall..both of us were as drunk as skunks before we got talking..and the rest is history..15 years ago now...

Penny Tration

Nope. He worked right next to my workplace, and we always got the same bus in and out. We live around the corner from each other but our paths had never crossed because he's several years older than me.

He started buying the ecigs I was selling, even though he never used them, and eventually we got chatting, hooked up, and are very happy together.

The One Doctor

No.

Antar Bolaeisk

A nice cup of Barry's tea was to blame in my case.

Chancer3001

4 girlfriends

1 I met on a night out.

3 I met in other ways.

But alcohol was involved the first time I kissed 3 of the 4

Tea strikes again

TheBeardedLady

Absolutely stocious among other things. He's not a big drinker at all and remembers everything. We didn't actually kiss 'till about a year later though.

COYVB

Why does the no option need an explanation and the yes one doesn't? Surely no is clear enough

collie0708

Lucky for me she had a few glasses of wine and probably didn't notice I was a few leagues below her :-)

The Strawman Argument

Yup, openly drunk and drugged out of it meeting for a coffee in the middle of the day, she was very sober and I kept apologising about it. She said it was very cute.

Based on my track record, I have to be either the drunker party or delirious with a flu.

Lia_lia

No. We were in the same class in college. But I guess "getting together" involved alcohol

What drugs do you take before a date!!?

mad muffin

Yes. We met at a night club and partied till 6am. We were shît faced by the end of the night.

Then we met up again the next day to do it all again. 14 years later… we've been married for 12 years.

Chancer3001

*does complex math*

That.....that....*rechecks fingers* .....THAT MEANS YOU DATED FOR TWO YEARS BEFORE GETTING MARRIED!!!!

Macavity.

I'd be drinking heavy whenever I'm on a night out and I'd have a naggin before any date I have. I'd take a benzo/thenzo instead, but they are hard to get hold of most of the time.

Hmm. Yes extremely short for Irish standards

Most Irish blokes date for at least 10 years before being dragged to the alter :pac:

A naggin before a date?

That's mad

Gongoozler

Not sure if my story would be classified as having drink or not. Got talking through boards, met up, got drunk and kissed. So drink was involved but once we had already gotten to talk to each other.

And for job interviews.

Chancer3001

Good idea

Novella

No, we were both sober.

I wish I was drunk now though because he is blaring some action movie exceptionally loudly from the other room and driving me crazy. :pac:

Auldloon

Yes I asked her if she'd like to have a threesum with me and my then girlfriend....she said no but was obviously impressed!

Tarzana2

He was drunk, I was not. I'd only had a couple of drinks. Literally a couple of drinks, not the Irish version of a couple where it's actually 5+. :pac: If I was also drunk it probably would have gone nowhere. We may not have even got talking because I'm a horribly messy drunk. He's a fairly contained drunk so I didn't even realise he was.

Satriale

I may have had a pint or two, but it was only to try and bring me down a bit off the fistful of yokes.

Steve_o

In a pub but hadn't been drinking!

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

No were friends from when we were really young.

Shenshen

No, we met online.

There first time we met offline, he had been driving up to Dublin to meet me, I had cooked dinner but had no alcohol.

We're neither of us great drinkers.

Aidric

First encounter yes as met her in a club. First date not a drop.

When you say cross- eyedly ? Is it possible he thought you were roaring at someone else ?

Nevertheless tis grand romantic story .
