Nips??

 I'm wondering if I'm the only one who thinks these are the most horrible things ever invented.  For the longest time I could not figure out how he got so drunk so quickly.  Then I started finding these little tiny bottles of 100 proof liquor everywhere.  Hidden in his pockets.   I've even accidentally put them in the washer!  Under the sink. Behind the cereal in the pantry.  I was so naive I asked if he was having an affair with a flight attendant or something.  (I could only get so lucky) Turns out you can get wasted in about half hour for a few dollars.  I love when I find full ones though.  I throw them away and he wont say a word because then he'd have to admit they were hidden in the first place.  Pathetic...

Wow! I hate that finding those hidden little surprises. My husband just goes for the big guns. Bottles of vodka hidden the most ingenious places : in a suit jacket pocket, under the generator, under the liner of waste basket, in the lumber pile. I throw them out, or dump them and put bottle on his desk, once I even added a nice strong salt solution to the bottle and put it right back where I found it.

That's a great idea I'm gonna have to think of something really nasty tasting to put in his nip bottles and make him think twice.

I haven't found those, yet. If I did, and there was some left, I'd be making vanilla extract. And if I found a lot of vodka around the house, I'd be making vanilla extract for everyone on my Christmas gift list.

Losinghope you are 100% right. Mine was doing the same thing. That's when I found the little bottles. Pathetic really, the street outside the liquor store is littered with these little bottles. I guess he's not the only one doing this.
