This is a question Getting Old

Drimble asks: When was it last brought home to you just how old you're getting? We last asked this in 2004, and you're eight years older now. Eight. Years.

i can deal with
the hair loss. the tooth decay (ionescu style). the grey chest/ arm/ pubic hair. keeping very fit, so i dont make the 'hnff' sound when i get up. my girlfriend (ten years younger than me) calling my best of trance 98 albums 'old school'

all of that i can deal with

However - the 36 to 48 hour hangovers ABSOLUTELY SUCK

and there doesnt seem to be a damn thing i can do about it. apart from not drink, which defeats the object.

Im finding this,
I also find it takes less and less alcohol to do it.

I had 4 pints of Starapramen the other week. I was ruined the next day.

Oh, you poor sod.
God knows what's happening to me, but for some reason in my early twenties I couldn't drink for toffee. Now, I can happily stay up all night drinking until the wee small hours.

Considering I've been going grey since I was in my late teens, this is very odd.

Yeah, I found that out 2 weekends ago.
Me, wife, 2 neighbours, Sunday barbecue.

18 bottles of beer, 3 bottles of wine, a bottle of vodka and half a bottle of Jack Daniels between the 4 of us.

I wasn't particularly pissed, but it took me till Wednesday to get over the hangover.

My hangovers appear to be disappearing as well.

Agreed - however it very much depends on what I've been drinking
Spirits are somehow less hangover-inducing than wine, or what's worse - much worse - beer. Problem is, if we ever get hot weather, drink spirits and coke and you'll be waiting for others to catch up on their rounds half the time.

Hangover cure though - a wank / sex, good shit, hot shower, and food and Coke (the drinkable sort).

Reet, I'm telling you now...
I used to have the hangovers from Hell, 2 to 3 days of feeling like shite, until I discovered the magic secret of not waking up feeling like death. Dead easy and I do it every time I'm on a sesh.

Water. I'll have 3 or 4 drinks and then a pint of water, repeat until falling over time. Next day I wake up a little tired, but no rough guts, no headache, nowt. Works every time.

You're welcome.

Don't tell everyone!
People with hangovers are funny!
