    Do you have any tips for the rest of us drunkenbolts to get back to normal as quickly as possible?

    I can't believe people go through so much effort to feel sick!


    Because feeling sick isn't the goal, obviously.

    The dynamics are very understandable, and quite self-defeating in any "common sense" kind of way: you feel good while doing it (and ofttimes increasingly better, more self-confident, funny, sexy and excellently witty) and the price to pay becomes a hazy, abstract, slightly surreal concept, not to be too concerned with anyway, as it pertains to some undefined point in some far off future.

    It's only (and always) the day after any possible regret starts to sink in.
    And as with most pain: the human body doesn't tend to remember that when next it finds itself in a similar situation. But we do remember the excellent time we had, how funny we were, how sexy, and how much fun we had... and we start all over again.

    I know how it works. smile
    Most adults have enough self control though. Or so I thought.

    And the one and only tip is right there in front of you.

    Hey! You said "I can't believe people go through so much effort to feel sick!"
    If it was rethorical you should have said! We get easily confused here down MT way. tongue

    Thing is, she's right.
    At least I agree with Bregje anyway.

    I stop once I reach a certain point if I'm out drinking. I've done the whole drinking-until-it-hurts thing, at it ain't pretty. Drinking needn't be indicative to the amount of fun we have.

    Of course, and it's not an "agree-disagree" thing.
    I was just pointing out that in practice things turn out differently from how they should be.
    I would venture a guess that nobody drinks for the purpose of hurting.
    It's just a side effect that tends to "creep up on us".

    I couldn't even comment from personal experience: my metabolism works in such a weird way that I ALWAYS stop before getting sick (hence me never having hangovers): there's a certain "absolute" cut-off point where I will simply not like to drink alcohol any more.

    Like you I seem to have an "in-built" cut off point where it doesn't matter how drunk I am I just won't drink anymore. I haven't been physically sick from booze since my very early 20's.

    If you got really sick and went to the doctor who told you that you're allergic to strawberries and if you stopped eating them you'll get better you'd do it rather than find a way around it. And a sane person wouldn't repeat the process over and over again. Like Bregje says it makes no sense.

    Too much booze hurts. Too many juicy babes don't hurt. That's the point dizzy

    Of course, the only way to avoid hangovers is to not drink anything at all. But that is NOT an option! I've never really understood those who say that you can have just as much fun at a party WITHOUT drinking. That makes no sense to me, especially if the party in question is alchohol-driven.

    In any case, it's not so much a question of AVOIDING the hangover, which is impossible, but to ameliorate its effects by whatever measures there are.
    I am extremely serious.

    Amen!

    Having said that, I tend to restrain myself these days and not overdo it. I've always known my limit, which is why I've so frequently been aware that I've exceeded it. But my days of overdoing it are pretty much behind me. I tend to reach a point where I don't feel like drinking any more, and then just stop and want to go to bed.

    This isn't to say hangovers are a thing of the past... and the best cure always seems to be sausages, bacon, fried egg and baked beans.

    There's clearly something wrong with you. I think I know what it is, too.

    I hear a full fry up is the best cure as well. I never have the stomach (or head) to cook all this after a night out though. Usually a big bowl of pasta is enough for me.

    Wuss! Get right in there with the fry-up and some industrial-strength coffee. Some toast is OK while you're waiting for the breakfast to arrive in all its glory. Marmalade optional.
