OT - When SWMBO asks how much you have had to drink...

DMW

Are you honest? Just got asked, and dodged with, "enough for now". )

canegger

4, don't know why but that number works for me

Little Steven

My wife thinks a pint is six feet tall. I say "I'm just going out for a pint" and........

berndcrisp

"Just a couple", she then realized it meant a couple of six packs.

Tjcoley

Not nearly enough

hapster

I usually respond with "Uh, hello pot..."

lousubcap

Great thread...the good news is "trained to not ask" as I have really twisted it up only once (under the scrutiny) and immediately "begged forgiveness" as I knew I was on the down-side of any salvation.  

That written-I can salvage any extended range cook with a pace that will afford many beers and even a few bourbons and even for a full lap of the clock.  Pays to be old...and ....

henapple

She quit asking. As long as I don't slur or stumble. Ok, she ask every other night.

Little Steven

We'll see how mine is in Salado. Don't think I can drink enough PBR to affect me though.

henapple

BS..I'll show you.

The last time I was asked I ended up getting sprayed with a hose while I danced like Chris Farley in Tommy Boy. I sang the song too. She's been afraid to ask since then.

Jeremiah

If she asks, I'm honest.



But she usually goes to bed before I do.

travisstrick

It usually goes like this:

"Travis, you are drunk"
"I don't feel drunk"
Well.... You sound drunk"
"That's funny, I really don't feel drunk"

She them goes to bed and leaves me to it.

Don't you do "litres" up there?

Lit

I don't remember her ever asking.

Botch

I've always been 100% honest with my girlfriends to that question.

 

 

 

Which is why I've never had a SWMBO.  

 

<hic>

rontho

As soon as she hears the bottle open

Charlesmaneri

I'm not drinking any more ,sober 3years on May 6th but when I was she always asked and my answer was always this is my 2nd it could have been the 2nd liter of Johnnie Walked Green but she knew their was no fooling her niw that I'm sober their is no more argueing no more trouble ,do I miss it yeah but I'm better with out it at the end I was drinking a liter of scotch every night I was out of control now I drink ice water or diet coke and believe it or not im happy !!!

Lit

I didnt know charcoal would burn without alcohol.

SmokeyPitt

She only asks for two reasons:

1) I am designated driver

2) We have a limited amount of beer left, and she wants to make sure I leave enough for her.

In British Parliament:-

Lady Astor to Winston Churchill. "I believe, Sir, you are drunk!"

Winston Churchill to Lady Astor. "And you, Madam, are ugly! But at least I shall wake up sober in the morning!"

Perfect.

Skiddymarker

After 43 years, she doesn't ask. She simply appeals to my Scott heritage with "You might as well pour that down the drain, because you will never feel it". She is right, no sense wasting good booze on a glow that can't get better. 

makis

My answer used to be.."i came home didn't I?"

She is not asking me anymore but after a health issue I had I don't drink more than 2 beers a week.

fishlessman

pick up my empties and count em yourself

shadowcaster

I hardly ever go out to the bar so when I drink I am at home 99.9% of the time so she never gives me a hard time. Unless she's trying to drag me from the couch to the bedroom, happens more than I like to admit haha.

stevesails

Honey, I've only had two glasses of wine from that bottle.

SmokeyPitt

This is my first glass.  I lost count of how many times I refilled it, but I only used the one glass.

I usually say something stupid before she gets to ask, so she leaves me alone to watch golf or fall asleep on the couch.
