See, I’m faced with this dilemma every year. I love my Gordon’s and my vodka as much as the next person, but I always debate with myself over whether or not I should drink on Christmas Day.
Of course, there are a lot of reasons for and against this dilemma, which is why I often result in drinking just because I can’t decide. (Or does this mean I have decided?… How confusing.)
So, although it sounds a lot like someone at alcoholics anonymous would does, I’ve decided to weight up the pros and cons of drinking on December 25th.
Pros.
- Getting merry from a lager with your friends is always fun. As long as it doesn’t end in fighting.
- Being drunk makes charades even funnier.
- Your family suddenly seem like the most interesting people in the world.
- Singing Christmas carols while drunk. Need I say more?
Cons.
- Stumbling and tumbling can lead to breakage of gifts, decorations and body parts. Not good.
- Hangover on boxing day. Less than pleasant.
- If you’re one of those types who forgets everything that happened when drunk, then that’s a whole Christmas you’ve forgotten.
- Being drunk can lead to scatty-ness. Scatty-ness can lead to forgetting to take the turkey out of the oven.
I could probably come up with a hundred more reasons why you should/shouldn’t drink on Christmas day, but I’ll probably still do it.
What about you? Will you be drinking today?
Whatever you do, remember to drink responsibly.
