Yet more evidence in favour of my No Food When Drinking policy.

But food is important
as a drink-sponge...

No, no, no.
Food slows down booze absorption, leading to me not realising that I can't drink any more a good pint after I should have.

Also, chunks.

I prefer the chunk to the empty retching
that tends to leave all the blood vessels in my eyes leaking their contents everywhere and the back of my throat leaking blood.

Eww
I don't normally get that sick even if I have a stomach bug.

I prefer just liquid.
The burning-chunk-stuck-in-your-sinus is one of my least favourite sensations.

The first time I got norovirus
I ended up with a grape skin lodged in that bit that's not quite your nose and not quite your mouth. I concur that it's probably one of the least enjoyable sensations I've had.

I find that food makes me more inclined to pace myself
leading to fewer instances of catastrophic overindulgence.

Or sometimes I catastrophically overindulge anyway and then try to mop up the excesses with takeaway. As you say. Chunks. Sometimes it works though.

Are you going to Blousies?

(Bazongaloid, Mon 24 Jan 2011, 15:34, Reply)

Certainly am.
I've (mostly) behaved myself at the bashes I've been to though and I intend to continue in this manner.

If the mrs doesnt come, I'm totally spiking your drink.

Woo!
I shall be the life and soul of the party this time, instead of sitting in the living room watching the TV.

Haha, no drinking on friday evening for you then!
I shall come for more than 2 hours this time, and I've even got Aber's recipe for that green mojo stuff.

Hopefully her and her lovely husband can make it.
After a 3 month holiday I'm not sure if they'll be able to.

Am I still allowed to come along?

I'm sure nobody will mind you turning up
as long as you only dress in shades of grey.
(berk, Mon 24 Jan 2011, 16:09, Reply)

How about if I promise to not wear luminous colours this time?
As grey is boring and shit.

Can I express a preference that he doesn't turn up
I don't want to travel all that way only to have to put up with listening to Green Day the whole evening.

No, you can't.
