Long story it started 17 years ago at my son’s 21st birthday. My family nagged me into having a party for him, he didn’t want one because they are all REALLY big drinkers and all that goes along with that. Anyway they turned up with 4 40 oz bottles of OP Bundaberg rum which they drank in under 2 hours, before sending out for more (there was 6 if them Mother, Father, Sister, her latest boyfriend and her 2 teen-agers). Then the usual stuff started my Mother started in on my husband because he wouldn’t stop helping me and drink with them. She kept pushing in his chest and calling him a C*nt, all the time he’s trying to get away. I heard the rukas and went to try and calm things down. That’s when it got interesting my sister decided it was time to start in on me telling me how bad if a parent, daughter, sister I was. My mother seeing this leaves my husband and starts to defend her baby, while she is trying to hit me around our mother. Then my husband in his biggest booming voice announces the gate is there feel free to use (I’ve got to admit he was more polite than I would have been). They decided to leave but on the way out my nephew calls the police and tells them that my husband is being aggressive and drunk (at this point neither of us had a drop to drink). I looked around and realised that our son had taken his mates and they were walking the girls home. So I grabbed my keys and went to round them all up and take them somewhere to have so fun, by the time I got home there’s 6 police cars complete with police that was looking for me since the nephew had told them he was beating me. A couple of days later I got a letter from my mother telling me unless I divorced my husband I would be written out of the will (at this point we had been married 25 years, we eloped to avoid drama). Over the years since most if my father’s siblings have passed away, I was never close to my mother’s side just didn’t fit in. They didn’t want me to know anything about the funeral details but I had an Aunt who always called to tell me, I never went any of the funerals for the sake of peace at a stressful time. I found out last month that my Godbrother had past 2 years ago and of course I wasn’t told. That was the final straw for me, I decided since I wasn’t welcome at any of the other funerals that I would not be going to theirs. Is this me being petty or me protecting myself?
Funerals are for the living, and the people going to these aren’t owed anything from you. YWNBTA.
…since when has Bundy anything (OG, OP or Red) EVER come in Oz bottles? They’re sold by the ml/L.
There’s 29 standards in an OG 37% 1L bottle (I just checked mine).
I’m a QLDer, who’s spent time in Bundaberg and I’ve been drinking Bundy for a very long time. The amount you’re talking about people consuming is excessive.
I tried to keep reading, but your facts over the booze don’t add up.
Edit – I just checked. OP is 57.7%. There is no way your family could drink 4 bottles between 6 people and still be standing and then call for more.
Bundy OP is my alcohol of choice. I’m saying this with experience from over indulgence and many poor choices. What you’re describing is highly improbable.
NTA about the funerals. Go or don’t go.
Damn, I just accepted it because I don’t drink the shit. I’ve seen nothing good come from drinking Bundy. Interesting 🤔
The best way to think about Bundy is it’s an amplifier. If you’re going into drinking it when you’re happy or relaxed, you’ll probably be fine. If you’re not and toy thought you were happy or relaxed, you probably weren’t.
I highly recommend their salted caramel liquor. Rum balls made on that is amazing!
Also, drink it mixed. Coke, ginger ale or ginger beer with some lime.
When I was young Bundy came in OZ not mls, my school atlas also has miles and Kms in it with Australia population at about 6 million people. There was 4 people drinking and yes they regularly drink that much, have done since I was a kid. My sister recently got done for DD at nearly 0.3. I am well sware they are alcoholics, I went a different route and have a serious coffee habit 3 triple espressos before getting out of bed
So adding to this
40 ounces is 1182 ml.
Bundy has been 750ml, 1L & 1.125L for a very long time.
I’ve been drinking Bundy for 25 years, in QLD, and no, it hasn’t been ounces in that time. It is also produced in the same factory in QLD so I was drinking exactly the same as you are claiming.
Australia’s current population is 27 million, and in 2000 it was 19 million.
If you were drinking it when the population was 6 million, I will accept ounces. Because that was in 1925.
This is a post from Australia? I assumed it was a US post, so 40oz is… how much?
For very heavy drinkers with a high tolerance to alcohol, I do not think that much rum is impossible. .. but you know- convince me. 🙂
NTA – Bundy Rum it brings the worst out in people.
F*ck family. There is no obligation for you to attend and no-one wants you there it seems. Save your time and effort.
Thems a lot of words with no paragraphs!
