Touched My Lips...:Angel_anim:.

How Come I Hear You Ask, Cause Glen Throws It Down So Fast, It Doesn't

Touch His Lips, It Hits His Throat First....

I love beer and wine, usually in large amounts. But a few years ago it dawned on me that, no matter how much fun I had drinking with friends, the scales had finally tipped and the downtime was far too high a price to pay. The hangover at age 21 that was the source of jokes and could be overcome with a nap, by age 31 had become a 2- or even 3-day ordeal.

This is called getting old, I guess.

 

I know what you mean. I never used to get hang-overs and now I have started having them occasionally. It is kind of depressing.

 

Hello,

it works, just do it . On the 06.01.2006 I woke up in the middle of the night and I had three thoughts: get a piece of cheese from the fridge, don't drink red wine on weekdays anymore, shave daily. Well, I got the cheese . The next day I decided to drink no alcohol at all and that's what I had done for two or three years. Now I drink some alcohol at three or five occassions a year. OK, i dropped the shaving thing .

I Never Drink Enough To Get A Hangover, Even Though I Joke About My

Wine And Champagne Consumption On Here All The Time...:cheers2:

As Soon As I Think I'm Getting Past The Good Bit, I Stop And Drink Water.

In My Opinion A Hangover Spoils The Whole Reason For Drinking.

It is depressing. The prospect of feeling like shit for at least a day (then two, then eventually three) finally made me decide it wasn't worth it. I still drink beer and wine, but those marathon days are over. God I miss them ...

 

Get in line as I was first! Plus I am older and going to probably kick the bucket sooner than you, so be kind.

I detest that feeling of the next day so that is a good control of the drinking for me. It is also why I basically don't do anything else either as when I did years ago, I detested that after feeling.

Not what I enjoyed.

So my couple of ounces of scotch or a Cesar or glass of wine is more than enough.

Big difference between enjoyment on a social level and alcoholism.

 

Tis 4-21pm Here In OZ, And Glen Has Just Poured His First For The Day,

Which Happens To Be A Glass Of Pressings Style Dry Red....

Cheers All...:cheers2:.

I've only thrown up once in my life from alcohol. It was a great night though, involving a box of wine, watching Disney's "Robin Hood" and my brother falling out of my window.

 

From How Many Floors Up..?...

I drink alcohol to make the phone calls go away.....:tongue:

 

Anybody who asks this question is drinking too much or too little.

 

I drink too much, some may know this, others may not

But the binge drinking climate in the UK is infamous, and I live in what they have dubbed the binge drinking capital.

 

I don't tend to drink too much. Mostly if I am out, but as I have gotten older, going out usually consists of a glass of wine and life talk.

 

When You've Lived As Long As I Have, "Life Talk" Is Best Discussed Over

A Couple Of 4 Litre Casks....



Cheers Glen.

 

I'm probably not far behind you

 

What's a life talk?

 

I understand why people drink alcohol - it can be a lot of fun. But I don't understand the people who get wasted every night, mainly I don't understand how they have the endurance for it so often. Drinking gets a bit samesy samesy after a while, and the only reason I'd ever go out night after night was if I wanted girls, and it really ate up a lot of my money as well. Not to mention it is severely detrimental to your health. So I think as long as you use it reasonably, it's a great drug.
