Hopefully thats all it was

That's what I normally do! I wanted to change it up, but apparently am suffering from it!

I hardly ever drink anymore, maybe that's the problem. I need to re-build my tolerance!

that's the exact reason, go on a 4 day bender and life will be grand!

WELCOME TO THE CLUB, kid!


ah yes..
I can remember.. 11-12 years ago (in my early 20s)..
when I would go out,
GET DRUNK OFF MY ASS
& still go to work the next day.. DRUNK, yes.. but still able to "work"
(mostly)..


but in the last 2 years.. there have been
MAYBE
3 times when I've gotten totally drunk off my ass
& this is indeed directly related to the fact that it's
HARDER
to recover from a night of "drunken debauchery"
& it TAKES LONGER to do so..
so I'm like..
I like to occasionally drink a GOOD AMOUNT of alcohol..
I like "the act of getting drunk"..
but I am digging MUCH LESS the whole "morning after hangover" thing..
& that "morning after hangover" thing is a SUFFICIENT deterrent from me
drinking all the way up to my (high tolerance) limit.


yeah, I still drink about as much (red) wine as I want,
but that's really only with dinner & typically 2 glasses at the most.


I've never really had any type of "hangover cure",
other than to drink A LOT OF WATER/GATORADE
& that 1st FULL MEAL after getting FUCKED UP the night before..
that helps a lot, too..


alas,
my days of getting REALLY DRUNK OFF MY ASS are..

sigh..

apparently a thing of my past..


but that's cool- because when I look back on what I did
& how I did (& often, with whom I did)
I can honestly say "I got my money's worth" in terms of the "drunk off my ass" phenomenon..!



damn.
all this talk about booze has now gotten me a hankerin' for a nice, tall, cold

LONG
ISLAND
ICED
TEA..

CarrieLee said:

I think you are being dishonest with us. You left out a huge piece of information to all of this.....the three drinks you had were all long islands in 64 oz glasses, and the two beers you had were 40 ouncers.

There, there CarrieLee.
It happens to us all I'm afraid

hope you feel better soon

you dont have a flu bug do you ?

and... you're not pregnant right ?

I would always drink with Carrie, only she didn't want to meet up when I was in MA.....

No, it doesn't.

I hear ya girl.

MPLS Pride was last weekend, and in my 'old age' I have cut this down from a 1 week binge to 2 days/nites of partying. Well, the fun stopped Sunday nite. I slept ALL DAY Monday. Still felt brain dead yesterday. And today am ALMOST back to normal. I can't believe what's happened since I turned 30!

I'm right there with ya. In my early 20's I would go out at least 3 nights a week, sometimes be out till 5 am and get up at 8 and still be ok at work. This has slowly dwindled over the years to no going out on weeknights and maybe going out once a month or so on weekends and being dead to the world the next day.

Oh God! Being an old drunk does WONDERS to your finances!

Get drunk EASY!

I'm full of youth! I'm 16! And I'm durnk right now!

I've been off the tiles so long now I'm a one-pot-screamer such a cheap date, I felt a little wobbly after one shandy on Sunday

The are several factors at play here my dear Carrie.

Number 1: If you havn't been drinking much lately you do lose your tolerance for alcohol. This is a fact, although it doesnt sound like you had very much to drink at all.

Number 2: Sometimes we just have a bad day on the drink for whatever unexplainable reason. Every now and then you can have a day where you just get drunk really quick (it could be you are unwell, dehydrated, nervous, not eaten well etc).

Number 3: You are getting that little bit older. I find that I can still drink about the same amount as I used to but the after effects are way, way worse. I got so drunk on Saturday over 14 hours of drinking with my mates (beer, red wine, vodka etc) that I was pretty messy. It took me until yesterday to feel good again. I've promised myself not to do that again but i know I'm weak and probably will.

Hangovers!

listen to the expert

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one in this situation! Thanks for all your responses.

I think that the problem is the flavored vodkas. I always had a problem with raspberry stoli and I think it's the same with this peach absolut. I actually don't even care to drink that much anymore, but once in a while I like to let loose and if I can't have 3 drinks and a couple beers over a period of 5 hours then something is wrong!!!

I'll stick with just beer or kettle 1...that shit's the bomb!!!

PS: It's almost 11:30 pm and I still have a fkn headache
