Today, I received a very expensive bottle of wine for Christmas. My alcoholic mother snuck into my house while I was out and drank the whole bottle. FML

Today, my mother-in-law gave me a bottle of champagne for my birthday. This is the third year in a row she has done this. I'm a recovering alcoholic, and she's well aware of that fact. FML

Today, I won a lottery at my local grocery store. Excited, I went to claim my prize, only to discover it was a bottle of red wine. I'm a recovering alcoholic. FML

Today, my roommate gave me a self-help book on alcoholism for my birthday. He's an alcoholic. I gave him that book around 8 months ago. FML

Today, I'm a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. On new years, my mom called and asked what kind of champagne I want. FML

Today, I found out that my wife, who is supposed to be a recovering alcoholic, drank an entire bottle of wine and then tried to hide it at the bottom of a garbage bin. To make matters worse, when I confronted her about it, she tried to convince me that our 5-year-old daughter had drunk it. FML

Today, I learned that drunk me from last night is apparently great at flirting. She also apparently flirted her way to a free bottle of white wine, only to shatter it on the kitchen floor at 2 a.m. How did I find out? Three words: glass in foot. FML

Today, I noticed that my 80-year-old mother has gone through 50+ bottles of my home-made wine. She only moved in with me a month ago. And now I have no wine. FML

Today, I found out I was an alcoholic. Not from my friends or family, but because the ice-maker couldn't keep up with the amount of drinks I've been making. FML

Today, I found out that just because my roommate doesn't buy alcohol, it doesn't mean she isn't stealing mine and slowly replacing it with water. That bottle cost me $150 and was destined to be a present for my best friend, whom I haven't seen in years. FML

Has He drank it yet? Not to late to go and take it away, might be rude but Hey, at the end you'll feel better knowing that he/she's family can't blame you on making him/her an alcoholic...again.

I'm sure the neighbor's sense of smell was that of a bear's. Even if package and sealed they will get to the prize.

YDI for giving someone wine for Christmas. I will never understand that concept. It's more of a gift saying you spent a bunch of money for someone to get plastered just to say you could afford it. Get them something they'd actually like...or something useful.

Some people can drink wine without getting pissed, it's called self control

I agree. I don't drink (just because I don't like to) so a bottle of alcohol is useless you me. I'd rather have the 20 bucks.

You didn't know it was an inappropriate gift, and hopefully he'll just regift it to someone else and it'll make someone else happy. Hopefully he appreciates the thought and won't hold it against you. FWIW, bottles of booze used to be a pretty standard gift, even in office settings--20 years ago I had a boss who gave me a bottle of rather nice liqueur for Christmas. But with the growing number of people in the U.S. who don't drink for one reason or another, it's not really an appropriate gift unless you know the other person well enough to know that it's an appropriate gift and is going to be appreciated.
