I've noticed that, since the girls have grown up and flown the coop, my 'drinks cupboard' - the shelf under the cat food shelf, stays surprisingly full.
I still have a bottle of 'Archers', 2 bottles of whisky, 2 bottles of port, a whisky mead,(won at a bottle stall) which I'd like to open, but have no idea how long it will last once opened - one year, two? There's sloe gin, gin, brandy, and a bottle of low alcohol white wine (also a bottle stall acquisition)
Two weeks ago, I threw out a bottle of Lambrusco (remnant from when they lived here, brought round by a 'friend' of theirs), 3 out of date bottles of tonic water, and a bottle of squash (bottle stall)
I've recently added a few bottles of red wine - which I will definitely drink - and some tonic, in the hope I will drink it with the gin before it goes out of date, this time (the tonic water, that is), and some beer.

Teetotal here (if you don't count an annual slurp of Baileys)!

Merry Christmas Sharron and All :-)

Your house sounds like ours.

The "booze" is in a cupboard (the beer & wine is in the fridge), and I honestly couldn't tell you when we last got a bottle out of the cupboard. I put one in there last week... because I won a bottle of Bayley's in a raffle :-D I must be one of the few women who don't really like Bayley's, to me it tastes like sour milk.

We don't drink very much at home....... not saying how much we drink when we go out.......but we'll be having a few tipples over the next couple of days, starting tonight. :-D

:-D

Alcohol lives a long and peaceful life in our house but the bottle of apricot brandy has finally been tipped into the cakes and we thought we might get another bottle of liquer so I picked up a couple of different orange ones in Aldi.

One of them, Esprit d'Orange is a real gin drinkers tipple, kind of bitter and deeply delicious but the other one, which is much like Cointreau, is so strong I can only drink about a dessertspoonful.

That should last us a few years!
