[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who TF says cocktail hour?[/quote] Boomers, as a way to cover up their excessive drinking. Both my parents and my ILs do this. They act like everyone puts on a big show at 5 p.m. every night. Um, no, DH and I maybe have a drink at home once a week. We don’t put on an elaborate ritual every night to make binge drinking seem civilized. [/quote] Yep 🤣 my parents and ILs also. “Cocktail hour” “nightcap” etc. Just a way to make drinking more socially acceptable and civilized. OP, if it were my parents or ILs I’d just point them toward the liquor cabinet and tell them there are crackers and such in the pantry. I’d also tell them to let DH know if they need anything picked up from the store. [/quote]
