Me neither, but some are worse than others.

Alaina - Posted - 01/09/2013:  15:00:22

Very true, just ask the last word

The worst hangover I ever had was from scotch.  My hair even hurt the next day.  Of course, it could have something to do with the fact that I drank nearly the whole bottle.

Alaina - Posted - 01/09/2013:  15:37:16

64oz strawberry margarita on my 21st bday... It was Vegas, my best friend bet me that I wouldn't finish it... The next morning I wished like hell that I had lost that bet.

The worst hangovers are from any drink that contains anniseed of which there are many.,..........you feel ok the next day until you have a drink.of water .........and voila you are drunk all over again.

Alaina - Posted - 01/09/2013:  15:52:04

Gatorade and greasy food cured me!

ErikH - Posted - 01/09/2013:  16:18:25

I've never had that particular experience with anise; I've done shots of sambucca and ouzo, but perhaps not enough to achieve that particular effect. 

I've found that Gatorade and greasy food seems to work as well as anything else.  Of course, the hair of the dog is the best cure, but if you aren't careful, you are just pushing the hangover back until later.

Pernot was the drink that did it for me............had to drink quite a bit though, I don't think I cound do it now.......Ricard is another name that comes to mind...............haven't had any for years

ErikH - Posted - 01/10/2013:  02:22:31

Pernod I'm familiar with; it turns milky white when alcohol is added to it, correct?  Not familiar with Ricard.

I suppose the syrupy nature of most cordials means you are asking for trouble if you try to drink ridiculous amounts.

Amaretto is my liquor of choice, tastes good with coke, oj, or more amaretto lol

Are we having an AA meeting?

Alaina - Posted - 01/10/2013:  10:42:22

Amaretto Addicts? Sure, why not!

mbanjo - Posted - 01/10/2013:  12:14:35

Alcohol is gods way of getting even with us

ErikH - Posted - 01/10/2013:  14:59:53

I saw a t-shirt once that said "Instant Idiot--Just add Alcohol"

Alaina - Posted - 01/10/2013:  15:13:22

I know a couple people who would proudly wear that shirt!

mbanjo - Posted - 01/10/2013:  18:18:52

Except for a couple of cold beers each day I don't drink much anymore..........when I was in my late teens I held the town record for drinking a yard of ale..............also used to be able to drink a pint of mild beer in 5 seconds.....no way in the world could I do it now.

ErikH - Posted - 01/11/2013:  02:16:36

I have a single glass of bourbon most evenings, and the occasional beer on the weekend.  No way I could drink like I used to.

banjoscotty - Posted - 01/11/2013:  04:30:21

Who in, their right mind , would even want to?
I came home one night after a drunken gig and
forgot to bring my Les Paul Standard with me.
Wife hurried back to the bar and they were just
locking the door.But had put my guitar in the storage
room to save for me. Whew,that was the beginning
of the end of my drinking days.I drink no alchol now.
And wife stayed with me too,,,,,,,,,,

Alaina - Posted - 01/11/2013:  08:30:56

I don't usually drink unless it's a special occasion or amaretto with cranberry juice with supper. Never been a huge fan of beer ever since my mom thought it would be funny to play a trick on me. I was 7 and drinking water out of a beer bottle while eating lunch with my folks. Out of nowhere, mom yelled "hey what's that?" I turned around and she switched my bottle with her bottle that actually had beer in it. When I turned back around, she said cheers, we toasted, and I realized what had happed a sip too late. Needless to say, there was bud light and bologna spit out onto the wall behind her... Thankfully she didn't make me clean it up LOL

mbanjo - Posted - 01/11/2013:  10:55:44

I was brought up in the north of England where it was common practice to spend just about every evening at the local pub, every street had a pub........ my street was lucky we had three.........it was said that the town had a pub for every day of the year, and although I didn't count , I did visit quite a few of them in my time.........that must be where I dveloped my taste for beer

Alaina - Posted - 01/11/2013:  11:35:01

I like it if it's a fruity beer, but not a huge fan otherwise

mbanjo - Posted - 01/11/2013:  11:49:51

I don't think a lot of women are fans of beer.....

Alaina - Posted - 01/11/2013:  11:51:29

I'm okay with that

mbanjo - Posted - 01/11/2013:  12:07:05

Of course it would be a lot cheaper when we took them out if they WERE beer fans. :-) some of those fancy drinks are surely well overpriced.

Alaina - Posted - 01/11/2013:  12:07:59

I'm pretty sure this mom got the last word...

Awesome mom

 

mbanjo - Posted - 01/11/2013:  12:20:33

She did the right thing............thats love

Alaina - Posted - 01/11/2013:  12:21:34

I can only hope that she left him in jail that night too. Nothing is scarier than knowing you're in trouble with your mom and not knowing how long you'll have to wait to feel her wrath

mbanjo - Posted - 01/11/2013:  12:38:58

He may learn his lesson and live longer for it......well done mom!

Alaina - Posted - 01/11/2013:  12:39:18

I couldn't agree more

mbanjo - Posted - 01/11/2013:  13:03:04

Its taking me 3 minutes between posts.............not happy at all. ....Grrrr

Alaina - Posted - 01/11/2013:  13:54:41

I'm sorry :(

When do you get your computer back?

mbanjo - Posted - 01/11/2013:  14:10:35

Probably Wednesday next week ........fingers crossed

Actually, I had a double post the other day when the page froze up.  Not quite sure why it posted twice; I didn't hit any buttons or anything.

mbanjo - Posted - 01/11/2013:  15:08:51

That's what happens here.....freezes up first........weird

Alaina - Posted - 01/11/2013:  15:09:59

It double-posts mine if I hit the back button after posting something... 

mbanjo - Posted - 01/11/2013:  16:01:50

I think you have hit the nail on the head.........:-)

Alaina - Posted - 01/11/2013:  16:08:36

Generally that is where you are supposed to hit

mbanjo - Posted - 01/11/2013:  16:13:18

I usually find my fingers first............:-)

Alaina - Posted - 01/11/2013:  16:19:09

Or your thumb

Bad language all round

ErikH - Posted - 01/12/2013:  05:17:03

Ever notice if you hit your thumb with a hammer outside on a cold day, it hurts more than if you do it inside where it's warm?

mbanjo - Posted - 01/12/2013:  12:26:56

I wonder why that is.......?

ErikH - Posted - 01/12/2013:  12:51:00

Don't know.  I know that once when I was installing a hardwood floor, I was trying to "persuade" a slightly warped piece into place, missed, and hit my thumb so hard that I split it open.  My knees got wobbly that time.

mbanjo - Posted - 01/12/2013:  13:19:26

The sight of blood gives a weird feeling inside, especially when it's your own:-)
