Well, surely it can't be wise to mix antipsychotics with alcohol.

It ultimately wasn't so good for Hunter Thompson...

And, why is it the Bureau of Firearms, Alcohol, and Tobacco, anyhow? "Excuse me officer, does this cabernet go well with Winston and Smith & Wesson?"

It isn't; it's the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

Your government takes its acronyms very seriously and would no doubt be disappointed that you had scrambled one of them to spell "B FAT".

Philistine. Everyone knows that to compliment a Smith and Wesson you need a Shiraz.

Pinot Grigio with a Walther PPK...

This is in the atrocious advice thread but i want un-atrocious advice. The guy I dated for a couple of months recently, is having friends round for a movie night and has invited me as he wants to be friends. Shall I go or would it be a bad idea? *sips pinot grigio ruminatively*

Hm, does that mean 'just friends', or as GF to introduce to his friends? If the former, then the question really is how you feel about it - can you be happy in this situation or not?

Good alcohol choices, guys

I was going to post in the bad-advice thread "go ahead, what's the worst that could happen?"

In real life, I'd say don't. Not unless you are so thoroughly rid of all prior feelings for the guy that there is no risk whatsoever of little "what if" thoughts bubbling up, no risk whatsoever of being taken in again by the things that you found so charming the first time, no risk whatsoever of falling prey to the normal human tendency of minimizing bad memories and amplifying good ones.

You already know the milk is spoiled, you know you don't want to drink it, so why put it to your lips?

The gun discussion is probably getting Inq all hot and bothered.

LouW, I gave you atrocious advice in the atrocious advice thread--I hope by all means that you take it in the spirit that it was meant...

And I would have thought a Riesling or a Gewurztraminer would be the right wine to go with a Walther PPK....

Lou,

My advice is just to examine your own motivations really carefully. If there're no residual romantic feelings for the guy, if you are sure you can tell that this is not a "cunning plan" by the erstwhile Mr. Louweasel and that indeed he is only interested in friendship---and you are---then why not? Friends are good, and none are perfect.

It sounds a bit fishy, though.

Hmmm. I'm not suspicious of his motivations - it is a group thing that he has invited me to (so I'd be "safe"), with friends of his that I have met once or twice before and got on really well with. I also believe from previous conversations that he genuinely would like us to be friends.

My motivations however...I won't lie; if he wanted to give things another go, I'd say yes.

So is it bad to go because I'd put myself in a potentially painful situation and it will slow down the getting-over-him process, or good to go to achieve closure by accepting the way things are and not running away, take away something positive from it all and in fact help the getting-over-him-process.

Aaarrggghh.

I don't know anyone who takes anti-psychotics. Maybe the person who started this thread - at any rate we're at a cocktail party and I'm playing the part of a middleaged dowager with a few martinis under my belt. So knock it off.

"pass the peanut bowl to the starving man over there.....wait!!! Someone's breaking up....what is it, and who is it? Who is breaking up Are you sure you want to break up? Maybe a short vacation from one another would be a solution?"

I'd say leave it a bit longer if you know you'd find yourself tempted to give it another go. Chances are, you'd be too worked up about the "Will he, won't he?" thing, you'll probably forget to enjoy yourself.

No, I'm not speaking from painful experience, honest M'Lud...

Depends on the sort of person, er, weasel you are, my dear...

"Out of sight out of mind" is perhaps the fastest way, but---can you be sure you won't be running into him accidentally from time to time, thus short-circuiting the process?
