I’ve just taken my evening tablets with a glass of champagne.

What do you do that is wrong?

Yet a lot of painkillers come pre-loaded with caffeine ( and they charge almost double for the priveledge!) I buy generic and slug with coffee when needed!

Goodness, there is someone humourless on here!
I have just eaten a bag of crisps and a bounty. Will doubtless have a glass of wine tonight, and have washed my tablets down with wine when out at dinner! Still here, alive and kicking. Did an hour's weights at the gym this morning, so still fit too.

Last night I had selection of the NHS's finest washed down with a restorative g&t 😁. The tablets were needed for my physical health, the g&t for my stress. Can't argue with that 😂

Me too I will be watching a series or a film on TV and I stay up too late and I know it but I do it anyway! I could eat better I try but living alone is a challenge I believe! Oh and yes I could dress better according to my dearly departed mother LOL. Personally I think my really positive traits outweigh the negatives!

Buying a family sized bar of chocolate and eating the lot. Stomach ache afterwards but I never learn.

These postings have cheered me up! So glad there are others out there who just swallow their pain medication with whatever drink is on hand. No doubt someone will come along and tell us how irresponsible we are.

I just took mine with filtered water, hope that's ok 😁

Is this a pee take. Not funny or do have somekind drink problem..Also not funny.

Alcohol and medicine not advisable.

Lastly. How old are..You sound about five.

Smoking. I know it's horrible and I do want to stop but it is so hard ☹️

There have been times when 2 co-codamol and a glass of brandy was the only thing for the pain. I think your champagne and prescribed meds is a lot classier.

What about brandy and champagne - with a maraschino cherry to add some class? 😀

Brandy and Babycham used to be a popular drink but the painkillers usually came the morning after.

I loved Brandy and Babycham!

Buy a bag of Revels ‘ for the grandchildren ‘, but eat most of them myself! Also, visit my other chocolate stash too often. If ever I don’t want chocolate, I’ll know there’s something wrong with me!

I don't like champagne either. Much prefer a good Shiraz, however I wouldn't waste it by swallowing tablets with it, prefer to savour it.

Yes to all of the above (apart from turning up at school drunk) - but then I was the teacher too!

I didn’t turn up drunk

I had taken co-codamol for the problem I have with my sacroiliac joint. I had an adverse reaction to the medication 💊

Even I don’t crack open a bottle at 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon!

Take a codeine tablet to help me sleep.

I also have a stopper, purchased in France. Although second day champagne is not quite as good, it is a compromise and with a few hors d’oevres is not completely unpalatable - better than pouring it down the drain. Problem is that I am very, very discerning (picky) about who I share such treats with.

Sago, do you finish the champagne, put a stopper in the bottle, or share it? I need to know, so that I can follow suit.

We have a special champagne stopper, keeps the fizz in.

If only I could find it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have been known to be that desperate with a migraine, when nothing else worked to take my prescription medication with an extremely large glass of wine.

Wine for a relaxant, meds for pain relief, dark room for hope.

You are not the only one, I would take anything in any combination, if I thought it would ensure I fell asleep for at least 8 hours, no matter how bad the pain.

Champagne just doesn’t taste the same next day.
It has to be consumed chilled and preferably shared.

^I bet you needed a tipple afterwards!^

I certainly did Allira🤣🤣🤣

😂

I just took a cod liver oil capsule with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

A spoonful of sugar etc.

I used my husbands nose trimmer today to get those little fine hairs on my brow line, it worked a treat!
