I had a party last night as i am off on a holiday tomorrow for a few weeks, we ran out of grog so when i spied a bottle of champagne in the fridge that my brother had put there i was more than happy to help him drink it. i live with my bro and he is in Perth for a few days so i thought that there would be plenty of time to replace. The champagne was sensational, i'd never drunk anything like it. So i went to replace it today.... $98 later i realised that moet and chandon is quite a nice drop. Anyone else learnt their lesson the hard way?

YES!!! my best friend and I drank a bottle of her mum's best champagne when we were 16...

turned out it was a $300 bottle and it took us both about a year to pay it off..

if only we had of been able to get the cork back in.....

Luckily i had already been told that the bottle of penfolds grange in the cupboard is worth over a grand otherwise we might have had a go at that too.

I think this was the last of my parties, my mate also decided it was a good idea to do a sommersault over my bros bed, her heel went through the wall and now my best friend is spakfilla.

My dad busted me drinking his alcohol when I was about 14. Sat me down and said "Mel, I think its time you learned the lesson of alcohol...."

Made me drink almost a whole bottle of Jameson's by myself.

Paranoid Edge and I used to live with a wicked young chick in Fitzroy a few years back. Most of the time, the age barrier didn't affected our relationship but one night Mal and I were in bed when we hear 7 x 18y.o's troop through the house at stupid o'clock and start drinking it up in the living room. We came out to check the ruckus about 2 hours later only to find they'd 'accidently' drunk a bottle of champers Mal had been saving for about 2 years. The bottle had been personally engraved by his best mate (who gave it to him for his b'day) and was totally irreplacable. There was no way you could mistake it for normal plonk!!

Response???

'We didn't notice...but it's alright, we'll buy u another one'

PS: Never happened.

Grrrrr

I was at revolting a few years back and my best mate (who's b'day it was) bought a bottle of champers.... I was gakked out on the couch and no-one seamed to be drinking the wine. I kept asking if people they minded if I drank their glass. Then I asked if I could pour myself another, I was told to "help myself". Another friend (who knows heaps about wine) looked at the bottle and he looked impressed, he asked b'day boy how much it cost him and he said "oh around 150 bucks". Although that's not heaps for a good bottle I did feel remotely bad that I had pretty much drunk the whole thing....

Oh well, no-one really seamed to mind

My old housemate who is not adverse to cask wine ran out of drinks when he had friends over and I was on holidays in NZ. I came home to find a note saying I drank your wine and will replace it. I went completely spastic at him as it was a gift from my brother. He learnt his lesson though when he went to replace it and paid $50. It was good drop too, but I doubt he noticed while scoffing it with chinese takeaway.

you'd never heard of Moet & Chandon before??

Spherix, the cases of Grange on ebay are probably only a couple of years old. the older they are the more expensive they become. there are bottles of it worth a helluva lot more than $1000

this is exactly the reason why I keep my good champagne hidden in my wardrobe ....

I think there's an 83 Grange @ my parents house that's worth a tidy packet

I learnt a different lesson the first time I got pissed.

I mixed Cinzano red with some mint liqueur called Vok in a big glass, bout half of each.

Then while taking a shit and throwing up on my mate's toilet floor (at the same time), I looked in the bowl and to my horror my shit was PURPLE!!!

Scared the pants off me! I was only 14 so I thought I'd done something very bad to myself lol.

After that I was so intent on drinking more that I grabbed a bottle of my mate's mum's port, and when he took it off me I chased him out into the park across the road, where he had to smash it on the ground to stop me from drinking it... Also almost got my head bashed in with a pole by his neighbour for making too much noise... On the plus side I got to watch Babylon 5

So yeah. Good stuff.

When my mate left his old place in brunswick, on one of the last nites before he left we helped ourselves to his housemates liquor.

mmmmmm..........Dimple! Good drop that.

Never really learn't a lesson tho??

His housemate was a bit of a tosser tho for how it all went down. So maybe hes the one that learn't the lesson??

I think I can win this

When in high school, my mate and I got smashed, ednded up at his place. For his Christening he'd been give a set of 12 bottles of 1912 port, each in their own case, emblazined with a member of th 1912 Australian cricket XI. Well. We cracked one open. Fuckin deee-lishhh.

He still hasn't told his folks - some 10 years on.

I hate to think how much it, and the complete set was worth ... ...
