DumbStick 13 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 This morning I just about feel ok after yesterday being a blur of a bad hangover. I'll blame the cheap wine. (Not the huge amounts of beer, cocktails and wine I drank). Good night though I think. But was it worth it? Hmmmm. I've never had a hangover that bad. I remember a friend back in college claiming to have a 3 day hangover, but I think he was just refilling himself and that didn't count. Your longest? Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 as long as you stick to booze, hangovers are usually manageable. back in the days when i was on the gear all the time, i'd wake up with hangovers bon scott woulda been proud of. the weird thing about alcohol is that you can poison yourself all friday night, feel like death all day saturday, and then when your housemate will offer you a beer at 4 in the arvo you'll happily start the whole bloody cycle again.

Mantas 3 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 If you look at my signature below it applies to hangovers as well. The older I get. The longer the hangover! Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I don't get really bad hangovers much these days. I think I have a built in mechanism that kicks in to prevent me from drinking that last fatal drink, that's usually the one that kills me. And I drink about 2 litres of water before I go to bed and thats sometimes a pretty hard task! Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I have a built in mechanism too Indo. It's called a WIFE. She does this at my request to save my arse. I haven't been really drunk or badly hung over for years now. Link to post Share on other sites
merryJim 1 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I'm the opposite, I get them with less alcohol. I try to drink as much water as possible before sleeping if I have drunk a fair bit. Having said that I've not been totally out of it for quite some time now. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I've had one where I felt pretty awful for the best part of 3 days. My "friends" had done some mixing of drinks behind my back. Very dangerous in fact. I was so so terribly drunk that time. I feel ill just thinking about it. Link to post Share on other sites

its-a-clock 0 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I really can't stomach sake. Most other alcohol is fine but sake... Maybe I am trying the wrong kind. What would you recommend? Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I'm no sake expert but --- Hakkai-san. It's made near where I live too. (I'm sure the locals aren't bias). Link to post Share on other sites

TheOrange 0 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 At college once I didn't get up for a whole day. It was the next day when I finally got up and I still felt pretty bad. My room smelt real bad as well. Curry had been involved. I didn't drink for a month or so after that. Link to post Share on other sites

snobee 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 January 1st, 1996 until January 7th. First New Year with the prospective in-laws. Beer, wine, sake of unknown quantities together with a dose of food poisoning made being alive unbearable for 3 days, terrible for 3 days and a little better than dead for 2 days. I never want to go there again. Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 "with a dose of food poisoning" That's cheating. You're disqualified. Link to post Share on other sites
egglesby 1 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I was ill for 4 days once. I think a bad curry had something to do with it as well as the beer, vodka, gin, whiskey and wine. (Or maybe it was the orange juice). Link to post Share on other sites
Roger's head 0 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I don't think it was the orange juice egglesby. I've had a bad hangover but nothing like those! I'm usually asleep before I can get too much in me. Link to post Share on other sites
