On drinking and writing

[plonq]

Yesterday's massive hangover reminded me why it is that I seldom drink to excess.  It also serves to remind me that back when I did, I tried to avoid mixing liquors (that is, don't pound back tequila, scotch, absinthe & beer and then expect to avoid consequences the next day).  I've had much worse hangovers, but I guess I'm out of practise.  Maybe that's a good thing.

I didn't get a hangover (although I wouldn't consider myself 100% great either), and that might have been because I downed about 5 glasses of water before going to bed.

Ditto for the water. I forced myself to down several glasses before I went to bed. I actually woke up around 7:30 and felt pretty good aside from a dry mouth. I might have felt better later if I'd forced myself to get up and drink some water at that point, but I'm not that smart.

Maybe you need to practice more

Seriously though, I do think it's a good thing ^^

I was pretty dehydrated the next day and slightly light-headed, no headache luckily. I didn't get hungry until really, really late in the day. I avoided going into work to bank time on a Sunday because I didn't think my concentration was totally there. Hey, send Fetlock and I our stuff! :-)

You ought to be getting it tonight or tomorrow. Trust me - Plonq wasn't really up to dealing with that yesterday.

I got it! Thanks guys! Ack. Sounday sounds like it went really numbingly for you guys. Hope you're better. :-(

My general rule of thumb is to stick to beer if I'm drinking a lot. It has a lot more water content and leaves me less hung over. I usually restrict myself to one hard liquor drink a night. From experience ... much more than that is not good for me. *frowns*
