Mother's Ruin

Gin. Specifically, the alcohol beverage of Gin was called mother's ruin because in the mid eighteenth century the effects of gin on the family and economy were disastrous. Considered the poor man's drink due to its affordability, gin drinking had started out as medicine but due to its easy availability, men became impotent while women became sterile causing the London birth rate to decline drastically. Also, drinking a pint of gin and having an extremely hot bath was recommended as a way to induce a miscarriage (not contraception) in 1950s Britain

ruling at life

This is an equally self-depricating, equally egotistical term to describe living a crazy life filled with ups, downs and events that you can only describe as having "ruled at life"
Remember when you did Hungry Like the Wolf for karaoke and the host gave you free shots of Jager during the song? That ruled at life!
