a typical holiday scenario for me lately, i'm afraid. it started with larger holidays with my extended (and annoying) family and now seems to be a kind of tradition. whiskey in the coffee = mmmmm good.

oh, yeah...drinking before noon: classic or dud?

― jess, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's great obviously because otherwise you've to stop drinking at midnight.

― Ronan, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I do hope this doesn't degenerate into a thread about Gremlins.

― Pete, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Reverse psychology there surely.

― Ronan, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

reading this is making the hangover that ruined most of my yesterday come back, ow.

― maura, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nothing could bring back my evil hangover from yesterday complete with its horrendous dreans, Elton John forcing me to discuss his new album and Kylie Minogue playing pool in the student bar with Teenage Kicks on the Jukebox. Not sexy. Scary.

― Ronan, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why are you up so early in the holidays, mentalist??? Whiskey = good. Want some. Hot toddy for me please.

― Sarah, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i've been up since 6:45 (!!!) against my will. i just walked downstairs to get some more coffee and saw my mother fisting a large bird. i decided maybe to hold off on more drink for right now.

Can we discuss the best ways of avoiding Christmas hangovers? I always drink myself stupid over Xmas, but find I feel shit in the midle of the day, get hangovers at 7pm, and don't sleep properly. Does it just come down to restraint and moderation? Bugger.

― Mark C, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not drinking at Christmas tends to be a pretty failsafe method.

Sorry, what was that? You want me to what off?

― Matt DC, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm getting old. theres a thread somewhere back in August where I say I don't get hangovers. Now look at my above posting. the horror. I never used to get them. I blame cheap vodka, yes that's it. Damn you Vatsky.

― Ronan, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Vodka by the Vatsky = ACE!

― Sarah, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's not cheap vodka, young Ronan, but the creeping enchroachment of age. Soon your fresh face will wither and wrinkle, your hair recede and turn from gold to silver and your once proud member fail to stand to attention at the sound of Wheatus.

― RickyT, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

and your once proud member fail to stand to attention at the sound of Wheatus. = coffee on the monitor screen.

i never used to get hangovers at your age either, m'boy. (i used to get some odd after effects from the speed binges, but that's a diff'rent story.)

― jess, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

DAMMIT I have had hangovers since I was 17 and probably before then too! Cursescursescurses. This is not fair, I have barely lead a DRUG DEBAUCHED life, I have nevah been to a festival, I had a failed year and a half as a student where I failed to do ANY of that fun student stuff but just got really depressed and breakdown-y AND I get hangovers and and I am going to cry now.

― Sarah, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Quick, quick. Think about the Harry Potter film. That we are going to see. In less than three hours. NOW!

― RickyT, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I hope my member is always proud enough not to stand to attention at the sound of Wheatus. Vatsky is dangerous but very nice and cheap. However in the Kitchen on tuesdays red bull is a pound as is vatsky so this is very very dangerous. 4 vodkas one red bull fit perfectly in a pint glass and before you know it you're dancing to that Felix Da Housecat single, and then later unable to sleep.

I may be getting old, but just as I begin to have hangovers you all begin to become impotent or other far worse things. I won't go grey either, I'll be bald, it's started already. Stressful few weeks.

― Ronan, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i am currently writing copy for H Potter at work and i are getting all confused between all the books. helpe!

― katie, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

dancing to that Felix Da Housecat

And this is a bad thing how?

― RickyT, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Katie, I CAN HELP. Mail me yore problems! Trust me on this one as I am HARRY POTTER KNOW IT ALL yas I am! Which are you writing about? RickyT, can we go on a DRUG ADDLED BENDER afterwards? I think I need to START LIVING I am so dull and shit.

― Sarah, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I guess it's not a bad thing. Until the next morning.

― Ronan, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it's OK sarah i was just getting Azkabans mixed up with chambers of secrets and then was not sure where the house elves were, but then i decided not to write about house elves after all. i looked at Amazon and they set me straight, but phew there's a lot of customer reviews!

― katie, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

sarah: drugs are BAD FOR YOU. you head it here first! (har har.) my memory is shot to shit. and i've already lost my train of thought...see?!

― jess, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

New ad campaign. DON'T TAKE DRUGS, YOU COULD BECOME A WOMANISING MORNING DRINKER LIKE JESS.

― Ronan, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Alternatively remove the "don't"

― Ronan, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Are you hungover yet then, Jess?

― Sarah, Friday, 23 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i am hungover because i tripped and fell into the pub last night, don't ask me how. Sarah deserves to be hungover as she learned how to make toddies v. effectively indeed last night! how is yr coff Sarah?

― katie, Friday, 23 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well ever since I started taking Milk Thistle daily to cleanse my damaged body I have had only 1 proper hangover and that was after 14 hour Focus Group Bingeing on vodka, wine and beer. So take Milk Thistle everyone.

― Emma, Friday, 23 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sadly the wuvvly whiskey/lemony also CURRY goodness has now worn off (but I did have a lovely cough-less sleepful night - at least I thought so, I do apologise if I continued hacking in an unseemly manner whilst snoozing) and the coff is returning. My throat hurtz! And I have left my HALLS SOOTHERS behind in Affluent Young Professional RickyTs enclave (ho ho so ayps store things in cardboard boxes STILL heh) so I haf only had a satsuma and odd croissant to help. Urkle. Off to Boots I go at lunch. And anyway I only had two so I am not hungover tra la la hehe. BLUGH HACK COFF WHEEZE.

― Sarah, Friday, 23 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Also what the flipping heck is Milk Thistle?

― Sarah, Friday, 23 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And can we eat it?

― Sarah, Friday, 23 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Presumably it is a TYPE OF THISTLE that is quite milky, Sarah, this cold has clearly addled your brain. Anyway I don't run round fields eating it I buy it from a shop in little capsules and have it with my breakfast. It is meant to be good for your liver hence the no hangovers thing. Soon my liver will be the strongest organ in my body after my low blood pressure which led the dumb doctor to say 'blimey that's low you must be very fit' yeah right.

― Emma, Friday, 23 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I want curry.

― Sarah, Friday, 23 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i want milk thistle!

― katie, Friday, 23 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i am not hungover, because i stopped drinking at noon. but i am FOOD HUNGOVER. i feel like all my pores and spaces between tissues and organs and such are bursting with parts of farm fowl and gravy and startch products. i need a trolley to get around today.

― jess, Friday, 23 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have been honestly drunk about two or three times in my life. Amusingly, one of those times was when I was meeting up with the ILx massive in London in August. You lucky, lucky people.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Damn you invincible types. Nowadays I get a hangover after a particularly kicking glass of diet coke.
