Anything other than breathing must have felt overrated after that.

I've told this story before
but when younger I woke up early in the morning after a heavy night's drinking and blearily reached for the pint of water on the beside table. Sadly for me it was neat gin

OUCH

Yes
an excellent start to the morning. It's this incident that goes some way to convince me that it's not that I have a miraculous anti-hangover power, but that I am perpetually drunk

I think it was Frank Skinner who got to the point of having to drink a litre of sherry before he could get out of bed in the morning.

Eugh. Sherry?
Nothing against in small quantities at appropriate times, but in the morning?

It's nice to meet another neat gin enthusiast

Gin is best of all the drinks
and that's an expert opinion

I don't drink it anymore.
It has a particular effect on an aspect of my personality that the various assembled boyfriends did not appreciate.

It can have a depressive impact.
I have seen a grown man weep about very minor matters after a night on the gin.

I have the occasional one as an aperitif but that's it - partly as gin hangovers are amongst the worst.

I fucking wish it had a depressing effect.
Much less embarrassing.
