Nope, Al speaks the truth for once
worryingly, if you're a chronic alcohol abuser, just before your liver packs in entirely you stop getting hangovers; your liver can no longer break down the ethanol in to the stuff that makes you ill.
However if you've never gotten a hangover you probably don't need to worry about that; some people just don't.

I'm pretty sure
Amberl isn't even close to damaging her liver. Drinking once or twice a week while you're a student is not the same as drinking two bottles of wine a day for 15 years.

I suspect she could drink you under the table
if she matched you drink for drink, she would still be going and only mildly tiddly - and certainly not hungover - whilst you would be lying in a green foetal puddle, having drunk enough booze to dissolve your organs.

Haha ha
I would love to put this to the test.

Actually, let's do it in July.

You go right ahead
I would die a horrible drunken death long before either of you were even slightly tipsy, I expect.

I'm taking you up on it Al

I assume you can't damage it
in one session though? Otherwise that accidental bottle of Baileys I drank as a kid has a lot to answer for :)

Yeah my dad doesn't get them either so presumably genetic. My brother has just started though which is hilarious.

Ummm
as I recall from physiology binge drinking is actually better for you than long term chronic boozing. Don't tell the government I told you, though.

What the fuck does the government know about anything?
Nothing that's what.

Excellent news if that is true

You and Me, July Bash,
Drinking 'til we puke on Berks unconscious body
(Bazongaloid, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 17:09, Reply)

Aww man
how can I say no? I'm sure we'll outlast the lot

Edit: I'd say there'd have to be a forfeit for the loser, but I suspect that the winner would be too drunk to remember that
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 17:10, Reply)

I'm behaving myself at that one
I don't want to have a hangover for Pulp.

EDIT - although if you mean unconscious as in asleep, yeah that'll probably happen.

If you don't have a hangover
then I will spend the entire concert poking you in the face.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 17:13, Reply)

Then I will spend the entire concert punching you in yours.

(berk, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 17:17, Reply)

This is going to be the best concert EVAH!
Although the other bands on that day look fucking shite so far. I'm not impressed.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 17:18, Reply)

Oh, have they released moar bands?
If there's going to be nothing good on til Pulp, maybe I can get drunk after all: my hangover should have worn off by the evening.

EDIT - I'm sure Metronomy are the band Lampito likes, and they're actually quite good. Foals are alright as well.

THere are about 5 announced so far
none of which I've ever heard of.

I was hoping they would get Shed Seven to reform along with Supergrass and the Bluetones.

It sounds pretty good :)
don't think there's tickets left though.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 17:25, Reply)

There are...
the official ticketmaster thinger still has them.
(berk, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 17:27, Reply)

Oh I thought they'd gone
I'm tempted now. However after ball night (with attendant staying up till 6am then travelling to London for the bash that evening) I might be a bit wiped
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 17:29, Reply)

A teeny teeny tiny bit, possibly
gates don't open til about 2pm though, so you'll have 12 or so hours of post bash pre gig recovery...
