this is why I normally have a couple of crafty ones before drinking
doesn't help

I think the problem is that I'm quite a lightweight when it comes to booze these days. If I'm having a smoke afterwards then 3-4 pints is my absolute limit. well, it should be. It never happens and I'll have 8 pints and a few jagers, have a couple of j's then lie in bed spinning for an hour or so until it is safe to close my eyes.

God I HATE that
Far be it from me to proselytise, but cocaine removes any possibility of getting 'the whirlies'...

I'll bear that in mind

what there is instead is potentially 'gipping'
when it starts to trickle down the back of your throat, it can make you feel a touch nauseated for a second. this can be aggravated by taking a massive toke at the wrong moment.

and think I could cope

seriously?
man, oranges have magic powers. they stop me getting twitchy if I have too much MSG as well

Yes...
And you are right about the MSG. Always have some orange after Chinese food and you wont get the 4am jitters or the parched throat.

Trust me - I'm a doctor.

orange juice is also reputed
to help with bad trips - personally I think it's likely to be merely a placebo. If you're panicking and believe orange juice will 'save' you, chances are it will.

I have heard that...
One other OJ truism is that it counteracts the effect of methamphetamine - so if you have some good whizz or some bad E do not drink a juice or you will waste your money.
