Around the time this storyline was going on, I was hanging with a group that was bang on the booze & gear daily. After coming home from a 3 day bender one evening my dad was watching Eastenders & I sat down off my nut. It was the episode where Lauren turned yellow from alcohol poisoning and my dad said “I know what you’re out doing. Be careful or you will end up like that.” And it planted a seed in my mind and I hung out with the crowd I was with less and less after that. Bravo to Jaqueline Jossa & Eastenders for portraying something so powerful it pierced my soul.

[@tanyaflanagan8111]

Everybody saying "she didn't taste the vodka?!?!?!" dont seem to understand that once you get a tolerance you kinda ignore the taste. Once you're addicted to booze you dont notice a double vodka, if anything your body ignores the odd flavour so it can have what craves. There's alcoholics in my family and it's a dreadful thing to see somebody battle.

I don’t think it something that’s completely synonymous with alcoholism. Because as a big vodka drinker myself if I mix it with anything I can’t taste it. Shows how hard it must be for people who are alcoholics to over come it when alcohols can be made to taste like juice.

She went full vodka mode Phil Mitchell. Never go full vodka mode Phil Mitchell... unless you're Phil Mitchell.

Thank u for this. Always wanted to c Lauren’s drinking problem to start to finish

[@ilovefreddie9574]

I love your profile pic😍

[@Il_pasticcio_bonnie]

This wasn’t from the start. It was dealing with Tanyas cancer on her own and not being able to tell anyone. That’s what started it.

All I’m thinking is “who tf has a lock on the kitchen door”

Max and Tanya are the worst. Alcoholics shout and scream when they need to be heard and given a second to just talk.

[@eddpower5425]

I'm just re - watching this again. So Tanya decides the best course of action is to put Lauren under house arrest and then she puts the keys on the table for her to steal and try to get out? Doesn't make sense to me.

[@crissranger8925]

Ya been there age 19 man I was the worse when I was 21 oh fuck goodbye lol it sucks you lose friends and you disappoint family but you’ll get there step by step.

Drinking too much alcohol can result of a blackout so do take extra care of yourselves folks because alcohol is bad for you stick to healthy drinks like coffee tea even bottle of water

[@justpeachybaby271]

So you're telling me at the start, when Lucy asked for a double of vodka in Lauren's lemonade she didnt taste it? Accurate lmao

[@charlottedeaves946]

Miss this family. Lauren and Joey should come back 👍🏻

[@alicialakes9077]

Brilliant and beautiful actress 💗

[@MissGarland1986]

Can't think of any other actress who can play Lauren's storyline so well. She's a fantastic actress.

[@kittygrimm7301]

I see a few comments saying that it's Lucy's fault that Lauren developed a drinking problem because she added a double vodka to her lemonade. Um, that's not how alcoholism works. You don't just have one hard drink and then go "Whoops, I'm an alcoholic now!" Drinking problems don't happen overnight, they develop over time.

*Its a joke*

[@lilygrace3422]

Kitty Grimm yeah but it was the beginning

[@teatime9550]

The way she screams 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Em-fv4sw]

Aw I miss these days xx

[@daniellehenderson494]

Twice in my life I've had a phase where I was only happy with a drink in my hand. Never got this bad, but I'm glad to have calmed down as I lost three family members to alcoholism. Very rare that I have any now and that's stuck for five years :)

[@Hillarymaryy]

I was an alcoholic from 18-22 I'm now recovering she did this well

[@MotherHen2012]

Four years on and i hope you are ok!

[@Hillarymaryy]
