1st Hangover in yearsFollow

once every 12 years is not to bad.

/quite cheers

After an seven-year peace treaty I have again taken up the good fight with Southern Comfort. Due to a general decline in regular imbibing of liquor this has caused me moderate distress on a few occasions, this morning being one. Long gone are the days (err, nights) of downing liters of the hard stuff at a time; one glass of SoCo on the rocks and two beers were enough to get me squiggly. Then again, I had four shots and about eight pints on my wedding night.

I've heard it called many things, but never that one. Niiiice...

While it probably hasn't been as long, I haven't had a hangover for a few years myself...until Saturday morning. I went to a neighborhood party for new neighbors (i.e., me and a very cool Jamaican guy were the newest neighbors in the 'hood) where we had a wine-tasting/beer/booze-quaffing games. We partied mostly in their backyard. I was quite hammered as I strolled back down two houses to my house.

Luckily, it's so hot here that I sweated most of it out before I got home, so no bed spins or worshipping the porcelain god/Technicolor yawn. Still, I was pretty dehydrated in the morning with an acute headache. This nurse I'm dating recommended this hangover cure: eat greasy food, so I had a burger and some fries. Apparently, the grease in the food does something like kicks the alcohol out of the bloodstream...or something...don't really remember, so I'll edit this later when I find out.

I woke up w/a slight headache this morning, Baily's, Buttershots, and Tequila last night. I blame BT

I only had Absinthe once, and it was insane. I was 19, and at a party with a few friends. Everyone went bat-Shit insane. We ended up in Hyde Park at 2am, naked, in the rain.

Good times.

I've never had a hangover.

Of course I don't race-drink, either. Still, I've probably deserved a few.

Hopsitle?

Hopsitle?

Are you kidding me?

And I really envy you people who have never had a hangover. I get bad ones, all the time, because I drink too much. I get hangovers that paste me to the couch all day. Hell, sometimes I get hangovers that last two days. Sometimes I think it would be easier on me to take up heroin or meth.

Nope, fire-fox is not working on my computer right now, and my brain usualy thinks faster than my fingers can type. I make many typos.

Two glasses of wine will get me chatty and likely leave me with a headache in the morning, but nothing a couple aspirin can't handle. None-the-less, I'd love to try Absinthe sometimes...in very small quanties perhaps. I love Galliano, black licorice and a bit of a buzz on occasion...

Never had a hangover! Did you have a nice meal sometime during the day Nobby? I'm partial to runny eggs with lots of veggies with sausage on the side. And lots of tomato slices.

I've never had one either, nor been drunk. Nope it's just straight hard drugs for me.

Actually, no. I'm boring.

I don't neccessarily get hung over so much as I'm just burnt out from lack of sleep and thursty. I regularly kill 15-20 beer in a night or 2 1.5liter bottles of 14% ABV wine. I get up in the morning drink a buttload of gatorade, take a nice runny crap, and stuff my stomache with lots of dead meat. Then I'm fine.

We used to throw partys every weekend and between 4 of us we'd spend about 1200-1500 on booze/munchies between Friday night and Saturday night (we all made decent money and had low bills). You wouldn't believe how much hard liquor you can get with that kind of money (or how quickly your guests will help you drink it). Those were the days. Sunday, we'd kick all of the people we hardly knew out of the house (after finding various pieces of clothing of course). We were always kind enough to put a cooler full of ice and bottled water by the door so they could grab one on the way out (my idea, and very well received). Then we'd head to Golden Griddle for the breakfast buffet. We'd order 2-3 pitchers of orange juice and eat plate after plate of bacon and sausage.

We did this every weekend for about 6-7 months.

Thank you for also PM'ing this to me. I just started drinking recently so I didn't realize this.

Seriously, sometimes, and by sometimes I mean once or twice a week, I drink to the point where I'm on autopilot. Where my actions aren't remembered or logical. My evil twin is aware of this, apparently, as I often play little tricks on myself. I've hidden my glasses, changed my passwords, hell, once I even popped all the keys off my keyboard and rearranged them. Then I leave myself little notes either laughing at myself or leading on weird scavenger hunts.

Anyway, the point is, there's no way that evil son of a ***** is drinking water or doing anything that will lessen Sober Me's hangovers, and I wouldn't want him any other way.
