I'm not a heavy drinker, but.....

[wrasse]

I only had a couple of large whiskies (talisker) last night , oh - and wine with dinner, a few glasses . I went to the gym today and had a decent workout, but I looked like I hadn't slept all night!
Yeh its that time of year when you drink stuff you wouldn't normally drink, and more of, but how do some people do it without looking like a wreck the next day? Perhaps I've just reached that age!
And - if I drink baileys (which I love ) I get acne the next day! HELL I'm 44! That shouldn't happen.
Oh crikey, I've made a load of sloe gin and damson gin this year. It tastes fantastic.....
Its a bit early, but Merry Christmas everyone!

Some of us are just lucky i guess

bit early, but Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you too (& everyone on PC)

Oh crikey, I've made a load of sloe gin and damson gin this year. It tastes fantastic.....

If we don't believe how good it takes, are you gonna provide samples for us???

, but how do some people do it without looking like a wreck the next day?

hehe, looking like a wreck wouldn't bother me, cause I don't give a hoot how I look; it's feeling like a wreck that gets me every time......

yeah, some of those bastards are lucky. they're the ones that signed that contract as soon as their writing arm came out of their mom.
the Prince of Darkness was probably all ready and waiting at the exit; there's no other way!

me, I'm reverse: I get that hangover. period. and it doesn't matter if I drink a mere 3 beers or 33.....

this is the sole reason why I rarely drink, because IF I go for that hangover I might just as well pull all the stops, wich I then attempt do with great gusto.
If I'm gonna pay the price, I wanna have the ride, see?

it's a once every 2-4 weeks thing. I don't drink at home, I don't drink on weekly evenings (I can't work with a hangover....) cause of the job, and I only drink at live rock concerts or parties.
but then I get totally wasted, marinated in alcohol
all the symptoms of your classical Irish drunk streethobo, zigzagging on the street, bumping into things, with a lot of noise and bad jokes involved
it's not for nothing that one of my greatest hero is a certain guitar player that goes by the name of Rory G.
too much alcohol indeed!

count yourself lucky if you only LOOK bad. you utter lucky bastard
ever felt like there's a dead camel in your mouth that even the vultures skip over;
a mashing machine the size of Vesuvius volcano below your diaphragm filled with vomit that wants to erupt on a 7,5 Richter scale;
a molten lead weight that rolls around in your skull (that suprisingly has shrunk 3 sizes) and threatens to squeeze out your eyeballs;
farts that make the dog leave the room if I had a dog;
every joint and bone suddenly creaking like you're a 103 instead of 40 something
and sweating moisture by the gallon that is so toxic it could be used to napalm a rainforest on a spree sunday morning?

if you haven't felt like this, you haven't experienced a hangover, period.

I'm a pro on feeling miserable. if there was a contest on how to mess up the body I would win the silver medal, just after Hunter S Thompson

[wrasse]

Blimey. Errrrrrrr, yes, I do feel lucky after that.
But then again, you don't mention getting zits. And that's much worse! - All the neighbours fancy me (ok not ALL) but they won't on New Years Day! (have zit cream in the bathroom !!!)
Oh, and RickyB - invite me over sometime to see your synos and I'll bring a sample!

[sidguppy]

if you can choose between some zits or puking your guts out for 48 hours; well......
unless you end up like Arnold "pizzaface" Cunningham ofcourse, but even then....

ever puked so hard it turned out green cause once the stomach was empty it was time for pancreatic juices and gallbladder content to go upwards?
it's not a joyful experience I tell ye.
for a prime example of "projectile vomiting" I recommend Monty Pythons 'The Meaning Of Life' and then the infamous restaurant scene.

hehe....."fancied by the neighbors"? hm?
you're into milfhunting or so? you naughty boy, aye aye nudge nudge wink wink say nomore say nomore SAY NO MORE!

[Richard B]

Bloody hell, i must've tempted fate...cos i've been on the sofa all day nursing the hangover from hell

(as far as projectile vomiting goes, i like the cherry scene from the witches of eastwick)

[sidguppy]

uhuh

life is a bitch, sometimes. they always talk about "hair of the dog", but never say wich gender that dog really is. I have my suspicions.

that's the reason that I rarely drink or visit concerts on a sunday
else I got my boss to tell that I suffer from this weird disease that spreads from beerbottles.

there's always a bunch of prime excuses though

you could tell you have been researching the phenomena of spontaneous increasing of ethanol in beer. for some reason the last bottle always contains a lot more than the first

or that 1 of those 47 beers had turned bad. probably some production fault or a pass the date one.

you can also try the experiment that the girl on your left is looking better every beer
in some cases a whole barrel comes in handy. it's not to be recommended though; usually 12 pints just do the job

beer is good! when in doubt, just ask Buffy

Its been a long time since I was THAT ill !!! I stayed over at a colleague's 40th birthday party (In my defence, I was in my early 20s) and drank the varied contents of their drinks cabinet. I redecorated their bathroom with the above mentioned PV and it wasn't discovered until the next morning - by his wife. I have never been so ill and so embarrassed.
And no, its just the odd zit I get, now and again, caused by baileys and too much dark chocolate. Its the price I have to pay. Thankfully I don't get a pizza face, but sympathize with those who do.
Talkin of zits, did you see that pic of Jools' feet on his SA fish-hunting trip? Too much baileys d'ya think?
