Oh, I mean that's...

Not two minutes. Livid, livid. Let's debrief. Debrief. So guys, it's a week until Christmas. Shit the bed. Oh, so excited. How has this year gone by so quickly? Oh, don't just although when i was walking here today i was on the phone with arch

and i was like oh my god it's christmas time it's a week till christmas and arch was like and you've achieved so much and i was like i'm gonna cry he's like oh i'm gonna cry shag me okay so week till christmas which means has everyone got the time of year where the drinks are flowing oh fucking joint they're flowing i mean it is the time of year where the drinks don't stop it's the christmas market it's the holiday events yeah it's meeting up with family members you haven't seen in ages going for christmas parties for drinky poos friends that get back from uni finishing uni going back home yeah it's just drinks drinks drinks non-stop it's pretty hard to stay sober during the christmas period it is yeah i do feel um and i just feel the drinks

are non-stopping no this time don't you think that this time of the year you drink so much more yes yeah i think i spend from now until new year's just a bit merry every day in a constant state of just kind of tipsy yeah i don't think i ever really shake it then your birthday comes in feb so it's like drinks comes in feb yeah never stops christmas creates a vibe so you kind of all want to get inside have a few drinks yeah socialize a bit more honestly well i feel like it's just one of those things that's like it's just a given that you will have a drinking hand at christmas especially with christmas markets and you're cold what's warm a hot mulled wine genuinely cider and genuinely like i'm not necessarily a big drinker anyways.

And I'm usually quite a lightweight. So I'll have, like, a little something to drink. Yeah. And then I'll feel, like, merry all round. Yes. But this leads us on to our next section, guys, to do with drinking, which we asked the debrief. Yeah. Which is, do you feel you can enjoy an event sober while everyone else is drunk personally for me i've

done it many times with you guys yes you have and i've found it great like some of the best nights i've had like and that's not because i'm like holier than thou it's just either i'll have a sore throat or just feel i don't want to drink you know i've got something on tomorrow or one of those i don't feel that it then limits me to having fun i'm like oh i can still have fun however fuck me you do notice some like it depends it depends on the person, definitely. It depends on the person because you are a very energetic, bubbly person anyway. Yeah. So I feel like you don't, you run on your own fumes.

Like you don't need any additional alcohol to go whack a doodle. That's when I get that impressive. You're like, you're woo! That's when the bra comes off. I'm like, yay. I recently went to an event and i was sober and i didn't even realize people were pre-drinking before we got to this event and they all turned up

slaughtered oh and it was one of those trying to have a conversation and it was quite like an intimate thing it was a dinner party people turned up slow i was like am i the only one sober like stone cold sober genuinely no one could have a conversation they were oh no what are you and i was like i was like why are you doing that it's actually mad though when they're drunk and you're sober and you repeat conversations yes and you're like you've legit told me this and they're like it is it is if you do not love the people you are around. It's hard. Ick. Can you go to events without drinking

when everyone else says? I will push the button no. Yeah, good. We've got 50-50 then. You're saying no, I'm saying yes. But I will say that if I'm drinking at an event, if I don't want to drink a lot i'll have one yep cool you know what i mean yeah i feel like i could do an event sober but i think

personally for me i get a bit nervous socially yeah nervous my little teeth are chattering i'm like so i find having a drink in my hand is actually quite you know it's the thing where when you're chatting someone you can stop and take a sip and it's also a good out in the sense but i'm just gonna get another drink just in case you're stuck in a bad conversation yes that you want to get out of you i'm just gonna refill my drink if i've got nothing in my hands there's no escape plan there yeah it's a bit so to them okay and i'm gonna say yes i'm gonna say yes i can you can however it defo depends on the people i'm around yes you know, like being with our group, love it. You guys don't pressure me or anything, but I know that you guys so well that I can still

have convos and it'd be fun. So we discussed it with the debrief listeners and said, okay, debriefers, can you go to an event and live your best life and enjoy it stone cold sober while everyone else is drunk? What do you think people people said do you think they were more towards i would say that i would say that they wouldn't be able to enjoy it sober i think they'd need a drink okay 64 said that they can all right i know i actually do you know what i was actually so impressed with the listeners yeah i was like 60 fucking four percent well done all right guys and 36 percent were like not a fucking chance which i'm like fair fair um i think it really though i guess it just depends on environment i would say true i think i would be if i'm drinking in my home like town if i'm going home home i find i wouldn't be drinking as much but when and it's not just a london thing i think it's just a big city

uni culture thing is that where we are now we have four pubs on our doorstep that all are nice and warm they've got fireplaces yeah it's nice and cozy um of course we're just gonna go have a drink and when it's a friday and it's literally a two minute walk why not go to the pub till midnight and then stumble home like it's so true and i mean you're so right we've got an environment of very sociable friends very sociable life where we have plans every weekend and stuff and if one of us is like we're not drinking we're like okay and then you go to the pub and you're like actually yeah yeah do you know what I mean like it's easy to get swayed and I think personally I don't feel pressure like I don't feel pressure by my friends

or my environment however I'm like fuck it I'll give in like I'm just like I want to I'm gonna join in it's the sociable thing and i feel like as well we're quite a sociable flat in the sense that like we have people in our flat and people in our group that love to have a plan even if it's just going to the pub or going to the cinema which then turns into should we go get a drink afterwards and stuff like that i feel like one thing always turns into the other yeah so it's stuff like you know i'm I'm like, God, you know what? I just love to do dry Jan. And then I look and then there are about five things planned in Jan. All my weekends are booked up in January.

And then you're like, actually, I can't. And there are a few things where you're like, well, and it is the vibe of, oh, I wouldn't really want to do that sober. Yeah. You know? Which is fair. Like I want to have a few nice drinky poos. Yeah.

And have a good time. But how do you think it compares so you said you can find a bit you find it easy to be persuaded in the environment when we're in london so how about when you're home like home environment when you're growing up what was that environment like my parents do not drink okay like my my dad will enjoy an occasional beer okay on an occasion usually holiday feeling like he can let his hair down when he lets his hair down he has one half pint and then he goes to bed like we went on i made it my goal when we went on our family holiday to get my parents drunk i actually do think i succeeded good woman um but my mum can my mum's such a lightweight like she can have like one glass

of wine and then she'll wake up the next day being like i can't believe i poisoned myself in that way i feel i feel horrendous i feel absolutely awful and then my dad's like yeah god i need to lie down i'm like guys seriously so in terms of drinking i remember when i went to uni i i didn't really drink a lot yeah in turn but i drink a lot more now like with our group i would say but if i go home like there's no there's really no alcohol in the house okay that's interesting because my parents love the wine so they've they've also got such great taste like they love they do they're very social like my mum's got gorgeous different glasses for different alcohols like a martini glass do you remember when she made you a martini um and they're very they very much sociable in their drinking you know i don't find

my dad in the corner down in a bottle of wine you know no no it's like shit yeah it's not more sharing it it's more you know very sociable let's open a bottle all that kind of stuff um so they were pretty they were pretty open for lily and i my sister to be like look if you want to try something try it yeah so and when i was younger i don't i didn't like the taste of wine and all that kind of stuff so I kind of avoided it um but my parents were also quite great with being open with the alcohol so if I went to a party they'd be like look my mum usually I said I don't even know if my dad knows my dad's like what but my mum was always great she'd be like look you're going to a party I'm gonna give you a bottle of wine or I give you

like all of this and she's like look I'm doing this because I trust you. Be sensible. Yeah. And usually it would be to share with the girls. Yeah. Have a bit together and feel a bit tipsy. So I think because I got to try it, I never really felt I had to rebel and then, you know, go get salted. And you know,

I didn't. How about, how about you? Are you on the same vine? No, no. There's no, oh, I did Gage's you to ask you did i'm in the field were you an alcohol in the field oh absolutely i i think um and i want to know your answer to this as well i feel like my first my first experience getting drunk yeah tell

me your first alcohol experience my first alcohol i drank in excess oh wow but i went to a friend's house we all went out for dinner and then went to a friend's house and her parents were away and then we decided to have a sleepover and we were with her sister and her other friend and they were a few years older than us so they were like um 17 18 yeah um so they knew where the alcohol cupboard was okay we essentially ring of fired all the spirits in that um cupboard oh my god essentially was just mixing everything like wine gin vodka like rum it was just literally like we were drinking and drinking and drinking and i i genuinely have never felt so like i was so i was sick

i was so hungover i was literally like oh my god and do you think that's because you never kind of got the opportunity before so you were like no let's go wild well this is the thing i feel like because my rodeo if i was going to a party my parents would be like have a nice time but you know no alcohol okay and i'm like yeah i'm like yeah just one yeah yeah yeah yeah and i feel like it's because my you're like i could never oh i would never mummy i would never i would never do what's that yeah what is that what is that i feel like in my family as well my older sister never really drank as well so i was always like well one of us has got to go and get on it like come on we'll take one for the team um and i would just it took me a some say i'm still finding it my limit

oh my god i was literally gonna say that yeah i really the first few times i got drunk as a teenager i got blackout like i was i think the second time i got drunk i fully blacked out like i was just it was bad like it was not it was not great well i'm telling you like i know i say oh my parents let me try a bit so i was fine i felt that like do you know i'm not being funny? I'm sorry. Do you know why I'm not being funny? We all have been blacked out on a beach, half naked. Do you know why? Have we? Can we?

The eye. Please tell me you can see this. The eye twitch. My first experience of alcohol. Yeah. Now, I tried a bit of like, wine at home and that kind of stuff. i was like i was like if that's alcohol stay away i was like anyway yeah went on holiday with a friend yeah and i was introduced

to cocktails now let me tell you little kit didn't know what hit her she did not know alcohol could taste this good. What did you have? I was like, fruit pie. Oh, sex on the beach. Yeah, sex on the beach is great. What's the, pina coladas. Yeah. I was like, oh, my God.

I was like, okay, okay. I see the vibes now. I was like, this is just kind of sexy juice. I was like, yeah. I was like. He's kind of sexy juice. I was like, this is going for me. Anyway, got slaughtered ended up yeah

getting on top of a bar oh my god i'm like singing i was in probably like a crop top and a skirt singing these men portuguese men shouting kitty i cried i jumped i crowd surfed and they like i was like this ando, like this. And they caught you. They caught me, of course they did, yeah. And I remember lying on a beach bed near the water and all I could hear was the shh. Oh my God.

And I just closed my eyes looking up at a sheet and I was actually like, it's my time. It's my time. It's my time. And I never, I genuinely genuinely i remember my friend's dad had to come carry me into the car and i was like please how's that look after me i was like i don't know what's gonna happen i was genuinely baffled that this could happen to me yeah but you know what i'm backing myself and i'm backing what you're saying everyone needs to have an experience

black out on a beach find your limit because i'm telling you you find your limit after that i'd have like one cocktail and be like ah yeah i'd be so scared i'd be looking around like is a beach gonna appear is it is it now i was like portuguese men chancy kitty yeah i was like shit shit shit it's coming it's coming i was like oh my god no you have to you're like fuck where's the sun lounger fuck where is that i was like not again not again i was like seriously i can't do this so but since then well but no seriously i'm like do i know my limit and i feel like i know my limit it's whether i acknowledge the limit acknowledge that you know what um a friend of ours their dad um told us we went out for dinner with them recently and their dad said um you'll always know when it's the last drink he was like you'll see it come in and you'll know if you have that you're gonna go

down a very different path and i get what he means yeah i've had it before where i am slaughtered and someone goes one more drink and you have that moment where you think this could send me over the edge or this could be sweet spot sweet so yeah and it's one of those things as well on the subject of wine i feel it's two very different drunks yeah cocktail drunk versus wine drunk yeah i have out i have made a mockery of myself mostly in front of of your parents. Yes. As you said, they're wine connoisseurs. They, they, they're wine

tastes delicious. Not like Beth, not like the five pound wine from the corner shop. That we get. No. Lovely wine. And it's always with dinner as well.

Like you said, they're so social. We will, I remember the first time I went to your house, Katie was literally blackout. She went to the toilet, looked at herself in the mirror, and she was like, rolling, neck rolling.

You lost all neck muscles. They're such good hosts as well, that they do such a good job of keeping your glass full, so you're not sure what glass you're on, or how many bottles you've drunk. And I remember I stood up, and I was like, woo! Yeah, it's intense it's intense i am saying sometimes when you do take it too far it can ruin an event it can we have got some cracking

stories for you oh my god so we asked the debrief for some drinking stories when they feel they have ruined events now because it's a week till christmas yay we've said have there been any drinky stories that have ruined christmas okay are you ready for this i'm ready hi girls my girlfriend listens to your podcast and told me to listen as well oh oh my god what a cute day i've started listening and i'm loving it of course you are yeah anyways had to tell you this story as I thought it fitted the brief perfectly.

A few years ago, I was at my girlfriend's family home in Edinburgh. I'd flown up for my first Christmas with them. We were having a few drinks in the evening

and one of her aunties accidentally set fire to a napkin in the living room. That's just, that's just random to start. I know. How have you done that? How are you setting fire to things? How have you living room that's just that's just random to start i know how have you done how are you setting fire today how have you done apart from the pud right full on fire yeah like not even just no like it's like the napkin is like shit

in my infinite wisdom i decided to blow out which of course made the fire much worse oh my god i've done that before suddenly my hand was basically on fire. I thought I should run outside and throw the flaming napkin I run towards the front door in a panic and throw it out but a gust of wind catches it and blows it back into, onto the

dog's face. So now the dog is on fire her little cousins run in to find the dog on fire and be hitting it to try and put the fire out oh my god oh god that's terrible the children start crying and i'm laughing hysterically because i'm quite drunk and i can't believe how bad everything's got the dog was fine and i ended up marrying my girlfriend that's actually lovely can you katie let me tell you can you imagine you go over to your boyfriend's house for christmas

their dog you've had a few drinks and all of a sudden your hands on fire you've set a fire to their fucking dog and now you're hitting the flaming dog the wind the wind just goes and it goes onto the dog like that's that's genuinely horrendous that's bad luck like that is bad that is bad luck yeah but the fact they got married after that i know honestly that's make or break though really because that's the kind of story you'd be like remember your ex came around and he set fire to the dog yeah and now at christmas they'll be like hide the dog hide the dog tell me one of yours okay mine is um mine circles around office christmas parties oh nice okay hey girlies i know you wanted some drunken festive disasters so here's mine great i don't actually remember what happened oh no so

my story is based on what my colleagues told me and continue to tell me. God bless her, she hasn't lived it down. No. She hasn't lived it down. I boasted to my manager

that I could do 10 shots of vodka in a row. Oh God, why? Taught the secretary how to slut drop and told the colleague that no one likes, that no one liked her. I woke up at 3am. Do you know what? Actually, I fucking rate that. one liked her. I woke up at 3 a.m. Do you know what? Actually, I fucking rate that.

I rate that. I love how she's like, look, I got drunk, but that, that was true. That would have been said anyway. I'm like, good woman. Without alcohol,

she's fucking jarring. You're still jarring. Woke up at 3 a.m. in the open back part of a truck. Like, you know, like Land Rovers. Yeah. Have like the open back part of a truck like you know like land rovers yeah have like the little divot thing oh my god woke up in the back of that with no recollection of what happened i took a selfie of myself in the truck to later prove why i was late to work like what an evening she's like she's like then and then she's she gets it what so she gets home

she's clearly like in a car park oh my god wakes up in a car park in the back like in the back of some randos like pickup truck then has to get herself home sleeps in his leg for work they said why are you late for work and she's like look at this selfie i love do you know what though i love that she's like evidence she's like 10 shots of vodka i don't piss around okay no look i was there to be honest the fear though imagine going in being like slut dropping 10 shots of vodka and be like susan you're boring and everyone hates you. And Susan's there smug, like. You come in the next day like, hey, Susan. Do you know what? Hey, Susan, how are you doing?

That's so bad. Honestly, work Christmas do's are the worst because it is a very vulnerable thing to get slaughtered. I personally got very drunk at my last work Christmas do. And I feel like I actually did hold it together. I would love it. Although we did an escape room and I'm like i actually did hold it together i would love it although we did an escape room and i'm like where's the treasure oh my god like it was i was in a bad way it's hard and it is and i did have the fear the next day i was a bit like

oh well well i did that well you're gonna do away okay i've got another one hey kitty and katie i've got a horrible story that my family still torment me over now oh god i left my christmas shopping to the last minute oh well there's your room and stay i used to do this and went out to do it on christmas eve i've never done that there's always oh my gosh but got a call from a mate and went to meet him for a quick pre-shopping pine you're kidding it was delicious as were the 10 or so after that and before i knew it it was 4 a.m or so on christmas day and i was stumbling towards home having not bought anyone anything there was a 24-hour shop open no so my family were presented with sweets air fresheners soft drinks all wrapped

in newspaper and i stank smelled so so bad i've never lived it down oh my god no i wouldn't let you live that down if my sister came stumbling through that christmas day handed me an air fresher oh i'd be upset handed me some haribet oh no i'd love that i'd love that no no but it's literally like this person went to the went to go christmas shopping in the afternoon and they just did not come back and they just did not come back had 10 pints 10 i'm telling you first mistake there why are you not getting your christmas plushies done this gal this mug yeah this buddy gets it done weeks in advance oh yeah you do you do i'm trying to get better at it because i i um and i'm such an overthinker that i'm like try to think of the perfect gift but

then it's like the 20th of december and i've got niche and she's like the gift of christmas i'm like i'm here yeah yeah that's the perfect gift okay tell me another have you got one yes um hey girlies please keep me anonymous but i have a great story for you okay we have an extremely ritualistic christmas in my family everyone's got their own routine 7 a.m wake up nice 7 30 stockings with coffee 8 30 a tangerine oh it's like health is wealth the health is well anyway about five years ago um imagine kicking off though it's like 8 35 like guys where's the fucking tangerine like seriously where is it it says five years ago somewhere between the midday walk and the 3 p.m dinner

slot i like this regimented christmas schedule i felt it was my adult duty now that i was a grown up to start a little fire and they've got um we've got one of the um one of those log burning stoves so open up the door put a few logs in and close the door okay thanks to a corner of the log being like a little bit askew couldn't shut the door okay um i decided the only way to close it was to ram it with the doors to just kind of like slam it shut right which were glass doors oh god so they slam the door the glass cracks and shatters everywhere they're like um at first i was only a little annoyed but the fire had began aggressively raging so much that i could see the flames disappearing up the flue which is not good news i had set the chimney alight.

Oh my God. That's when I became less of an adult and screamed for my dad to come and help fix the mess. It's actually so true. Dad! He managed to stop the flow of air through the crack of something, but the fire was still raging inside and got really hot. Had to douse it with water,

which exploded soot and dust everywhere through the living room didn't need to call the fire brigade which was good news um and it turns out we thought we'd lost our granddad during the blaze just turns out he'd gone outside to move his car just in case it caught fire too imagine all that they're like where's granddad where's granddad and he's just in the he's like just keeping safe okay i wonder what is it with fires i wonder how often the fire brigade is called at christmas well i've got a friend who's a fireman i actually saw him today oh my god in the gym i was like hey and he was like he's what he gets triple paid on christmas because apparently the amount fires happen on christmas is so frequent

I can only have paracetamol. However, all my family swears on ibuprofen or norepinephrine because it's a... Oh, anti-inflammatory. Anti-inflammatory. When you're hanging out your arse, you're inflamed. You're puffy.

Yeah, so that when it... Instead of taking a paracetamol to just kind of like get over the pain, the anti-inflammatory will take away any... That's good. ...kind of anti-inflamm. I i'm telling you i can't personally but for all the other bitches out there pop an anti-inflamm anti-inflamm now arch swears on a cold shower now i'm not a cold shower girl in the sense of when i'm hanging that's one of mine i'm

you get a what if you roll a turkey hey what's a turkey five strikes in a row oh wow imagine if you get a turkey and then you have to be like and he's and yeah and he's yeah weird no no and it's the it's the picking up the ball it's the it's the shoes man it's the fucking shoes you know what it is it's the leg tuck behind oh oh i'm like what the fuck is that i also maybe i'm bitter because i can't bowl with barriers down otherwise i would have no points yeah why are you putting the barriers down yeah genuinely don't act like you're special like you'll do better with the barriers up yeah come on come on be realistic be realistic if i'm meeting someone for the first time i don't want to know what they look like when they're turning around from bowling not a chance no way that's massive

okay so let's question question and you're my friend serious serious okay tell me your question my question on the topic of drinking yeah do you think you could ever be teetotal okay do you know my gut says yes because i think you could i genuinely think i could and i'm gonna give you the reason why give Give me. First reason, I feel I can still enjoy myself without alcohol. Yeah. Second reason, we went to an event where it was all teetotal drinks that taste like alcohol. Yes. And I turned to Katie, not knowing it was teetotal drinks, being like, fucking hell, I'm slaughtered.

Me too. And the event of the, the host of the event was like well you can't because drinks deto so i mean it was the most embarrassing like that was so however i was like shit it's all in the brain it's all i can be tricked so i think if if push came to shove like if i went to the doctors and they were like you can never drink i don't think i would be like i'd be like shame but i'll do this yeah however i would miss the buzz i mean there's nothing quite like a few drinky poos with the girlies you get all guns up you have a few drinkies oh you're feeling really buzzed yeah say a few things you shouldn't you do a few things you shouldn't oh and before you know it you you're in bed and you wake up in the morning you have the debrief with the

girls one of your friends has shagged such and such and the other one's vomiting honestly themselves and you're like banter best time of my life honestly yeah what are you feeling i don't think like she's like 100 no i would say it would be like 70 30 like oh couldn't like 30 chance i could be t total oh shit the problem is is that i'll give you an example of how it goes on a night out okay tell me i'm not gonna drink yeah oh my god this has been the last few months guys i'm not gonna drink guys guys i. Oh my God, this has been Katie the last few months. Guys, I'm not going to drink. Guys. Guys, I went out for drinks. I'm like...

Guys, I'm not going to drink. Come on, Katie, have one drink. No, seriously, I'm not going to drink. God, come on, just have one drink. No. I said I'm not going to drink. I'm really putting my best foot forward. Like, go on.

Like, have one. Right, I have one. One turns into however many. One turns into more than I'd care to admit. And then I have far too many and I wake up slaughtered and I stumble in at 4am and I'm like, why'd I do that? Why'd you do that? So I've got such a good silly question.

Silly? And it's the ultimate silly question for what alcohol means to you, okay? Oh. So, alcohol, two. First one, first option, is the taste taste the taste of a lovely mojito the taste of a crisp glass of white wine yeah or the buzz my question to you yeah would you rather drink alcohol yeah and not be able to taste it at all so it's literally like yeah you've got covid you

can't taste a thing right okay however you get the full benefits of the bars or would you rather be able to taste the alcohol yeah all the finest alcohol ever yeah it's the finest alcohol you can ever have you taste it all but never feel the effects and that means both that means both of the good effects and the bad effects and the other one when you can't taste it you do get both effects the good effects and the bad effects so you could vomit but you're saying if i chose to drink for the taste i would never vomit again i wouldn't get the effects so i wouldn't feel drunk no no you'd never feel drunk no you would never get drunk you'd never get tipsy you know what that's

really never get the bars i know good question isn't it and it came to me that's i don't know i know that is just a pretty face that is that is a good question because immediately i thought well fuck it i'd go for the not being able to taste alcohol but i'm trying to think of katie later in life where i do actually enjoy the taste like an apple spritz in the sun i know oh my god a pims a pims like enjoying a lovely pims in barcelona so i honestly don't and but then that is the plus side is that I could drink as much as I wanted and not vom yeah because I guys I vom

she does more often than not I will be sick I think I would drink for taste and never get the buzz and never get the buzz I'm gonna counter you I'm absolutely going for the buzz don't make me rethink my answer because i'm like

i can taste everything else i can taste like a nice punch or like a yeah a nice apple tizer or like a nice fuck like punch a mixer oh no no that's fine but i just can't taste alcohol like oh you've done it now got you in your face you've done it now it'll be interesting to see what the debriefs think because guys we are now posting our questions on instagram yeah every week you'll get our silly and serious question on insta not just spotify so if you want to comment or like or give your opinion absolutely counter us if you want to give us ideas for our silly oh my god serious questions that would be amazing and we would definitely use them absolutely but i hope you have a great monday because next week it's christmas next week is bleeding christmas so best get writing your letters and and we've got a
