I spilled gin and tonic on my new suit. There is no apparent stain, but I'm concerned the alchohol will do something weird to the cloth over time. I already sponged the area with water.

You could try club soda or 3% hydrogen peroxide to help lift out any of the organic residues that might have permeated the fabrics, then sponge clean the area again with water.

Is this a ploy to stop us from seeing the new suit?

I will await a breathless series of photo-blog updates on this development on Tweed in the City.

I get drinks spilled on me all of the time. Never had an issue with the alcohol over time, I just hate having to dry clean because of some dumb ***** who doesn't know how to walk in heels.

Edit: They are usually spilled right over my head... For telling them they shouldn't walk in heels unless they practice in private first.

This thread would be more challenging if your enthusiastic chomp had squirted out 2lbs of Katz's pastrami out of the bun and into your lap.

There is, however, still time. The Fates are patient.
