Oh, you all are thinking MOL is a decent person, but that is not so. She is drinking that awful, horrible affront to humanity, gin. It is vile and disgusting. Vodka is the way to go, scotch if you’re elite and worldly. I can even accept rum if you’re lighthearted and fun. Gin drinkers? Mean and nasty.
Seriously, she did the hardest thing. She left her abuser. You helped her with that. Do sleep well tonight. The rest is up to her.
Six litre what now? I clicked your url, and was told I have to log in. I will scour the planet looking for six litre Hendrick’s bottles now! I agree with your assessment and Sapphire and Guinness. Sort of like how Knob Creek is a fine bourbon, and likely the best you’ll have if you only buy your bourbon from Albertson’s, or whatever your local grocery chain is.
Yeah, I think a small thing feels like a big deal after you’ve had the crap beaten out of you by someone who likely tells you he loves you.
All I had on me was my wallet, keys, cell phone, pressed power compact, and 1.75 litres of Bombay in a paper bag. I could have attempted to dress her wounds, but I probably would have made things worse.
I am not above bottom-shelf gin!
The arrest of me?! :eek:
Vodka is fine, but is insipid. It’s grain alcohol and water filtered. Where’s the love in that?
Edit: Here’s another thing that’s kind of funny about what you say. I’m reading Raymond Chandler’s “Farewell My Lovely,” and there was a line some pages ago that said something like “Good people don’t drink gin.” Ha!
Chandler is genius . Ha. Gin is flowers, come on , are you a pussy girl with rose petals? Vodka has vegetables, let’s get real, here.
And you didn’t offer her a shot? You really are a mean old lady.
MoL, I’m not gigging you for not dressing the injury, I was roundabout praising you while indicating I have the hypothetical means to do so.
I will take issue with your choice of alcohol, however. Only well-aged bourbon will do.
Good on ya, MOL.
Although I have to deduct points for gin. You do know that rubbing alcohol is cheaper and tastes the same, right?
crap crap crap. I am my name for a reason.
Please note the standard sized silverware for scale:

Hey, a juniper isn’t a flower!
It may have lightened her mood.
I know you’re not, but the idea of dressing a wound with gin and pressed power is kind of amusing to me. Gin fixes almost everything. I do agree that well-aged bourbon is key. Elijah Craig 18 is my lover.
Wrong!
This goes in my porn stash.
Hey, since someone has to drink that thing in order to keep gin mills employed, better someone who enjoys it than me!
Amen! I will stick with my rum, thank you. Or a decent bottle of wine. Or maybe a nice Black Russian. . .Hmmmmm. So many choices, so few occasions to get wasted! 
MOL, ya done good. Don’t worry, though, we won’t spread the word around!
She doesn’t seem mean, I think she needs to take part in the Picture Thread, that would let us address the ‘Old’ part.
And she drinks gin, therefore, she’s no lady.

Try Hendrick’s. White bread it isn’t.
People dislike Sapphire for all the reasons you listed. Branch out a bit, you’ll be pleasantly surprised

Do yourself a favor and DON’T try Rangpur. It’s Gin with Lyme™…meaning it’s supposed to taste like it’s already got lime in it, but it’s not lime like we know it.
Leopold’s is good, Tanqueray 10 is good, Hendricks is devine, Bellringer tastes like ass.
Well, good grief , I think we’ve pinpionted why the Lady is Mean. She drinks gin. That’s the kiss of death. Vodka drinkers are full of sunshine and light. We love people.
I adore rum. I’m pretty much open to anything but vodka. It’s just so terribly uninteresting.
There are pictures of me floating around some place. I’d add to the picture gallery, but I’m rather lazy.
Oh dear godd, what is this? Kindergarten? I like gimlets as much as any other dame, but I’m adult, and people trust me with knives now. I can cut up my own lime and squeeze it into my drink.
I like gin distillers.
I meant to address this upthread, but vodka isn’t actually a drink. It’s a means if conveying alcohol to something else. (orange juice, cranberry juice, pasta_sauce)
Anybody trying to tell you Vodka is an “experience” is trying to sell you something…most likely vodka. ( http://crystalheadvodka.com/ )
Merely extending my experiences (unfortunate as they may be)…and sounding gruff to back up that ‘meanoldlady’ moniker? Not working. 
See, that’s the good thing about vodka too, though; if I want a little cocktail to take into the bathtub with me (I have a long soak in my Jacuzzi tub most nights; I take a book; sometimes I take a glass of wine, sometimes something a little more. . .potent), I often like something sweet and girly, like some Butterscotch Schnapps, but then if I want to “kick it up” a little, I can add some vodka; doesn’t change the taste of the Schnapps so much (other than slightly watering down it’s otherwise syrupy texture, which I also consider a good thing about the vodka), but it sure does kick more ass!
Uh, MeanOldLady is hawt. Name and image are in critical discord.
