vodka and others

[divine]

I know that it is nearly impossible to tell that a person has been drinking vodka(if he stayed within a reasonable amount) by smell, that's why it's my favorite type of booze, It allows me o attend classes while I'm smashed, and no-one notices. But recently I got myself a girlfriend, who doesn't drink that much, and she has no idea how much I drink. I'm pretty sure she'd be very put off if she would know that I'm more often drunk then undrunk. I've tried to hide it from her using standard measures like eating mints etc... But can she tell I've been drinking vodka when she kisses me?

If she tastes the vodka on your lips... If she can tell you what type of vodka then you know you're onto a winner...

[waahoohah]

I've tried to hide it from her

C'mon now! Consumption isn't a thing to be hidden, excepting employers and on-duty LEO's. It's a thing to be celebrated! Cherished! And toasted to!

[serious mode] You have to realize that if you are serious about this relationship, you can not hide forever. It's better to be upfront and honest about this. Sure, she might run screaming. But if she does, that just frees you up, so you can go forth and find a more suitable girlfriend.

[/serious mode] Who's up for a shot! 3...2...1...

She might not be able to tell yet, but what fun is drinking if you have to hide it all the time. Plus if she starts coming to your place you'll have to hide your stash.

If she's likely to be 'put off' by the amount you drink, then you have 3 choices.

1. Come clean. Don't hide it. As long as you demonstrate measured behavior, live up to your responsibilites and don't generally act like a jackass, then it's your life to live. If she has a problem with that, then maybe you need to start looking before she does.

2. Knuckle under and do what she wants; if that means not drinking 'for her', I personally would not recommend this tack. It can only end badly after the built-up resentments start to come apart at the seams.

3. Tell her to shut up and get that babymaker ready for some overtime.

Uhh, I'll take door #3, Monty...

[greygoose]

Uhh, I'll take door #3, Monty...

I was thinking along those lines as well.

I'd like to by a vowel, Alex.

Seriously, the only person you can ever "change your drinking habits for" is yourself.

Don't hide it, the idea of being a drunkard is saying it loud and saying it plowed!

If she doesn't like it, she's not for you.

[cloud8]

You could try to get her up to speed. Go slow...she might like it. It's a rare girl who enjoys going full tilt.

[Cowboy Joe]

In my experience, relationships with people that give you trouble about being a drunkard are more pain than they are worth. If she's willing to pull the cork and join the drinking crowd, sounds good, but otherwise, forget it.

I guess one of the perks of chugging bourbon as often as I can, people who are bothered by the smell of whiskey don't talk to me....and I like it that way.

I get the business from people that I can't avoid. Most recently, from my mom.

If ya wanted to date a stiff, why don'tcha just hang around the funeral parlor? At least that kinda stiff doesn't nag you about your love for the libations.

No good can come from this evil union. Find yourself a lass who enjoys slaking her turrible turst as much as you do yours.

Knuckling under is for drys, not for Drunkards!

Mother never gives me any trouble:
