Droy: Water and I kid you not american style bacon. Fatty foods apparently help with hangovers. Also some drinks or types of alcohol may affect you differently. Every drinker is different. Give Tuefel even a little Rum and Tuefel is sauced. Vodka? No sweat. Beer? To easy. Malt drinks tend to push me around a bit depending on the drink. Just gotta find out what pushes your drunk button.

Who watches the watchmen?Thanks for the advice, guys.
@Lerad - Youch, I hope that gets healed soon.
@Teufel - Thanks for the detailed answer. I had no access to bacons, but on the way back, I did buy some barbecued chicken wings and ate them.
@Pyrite - I slept at 2:40 and woke up at 7:30. My first class started at 9AM, so I made it to the class fine.
@Mark - You drank 15 drinks? Wow, you are a hell lot more alcohol tolerant than me.
So, I actually didn't get a hangover. I can't complain, I guess.
After getting home, I couldn't sleep for at least 20 minutes. It actually felt as if I stayed up whole night, but other than that? Nothing too much; I could think straight, for one thing.
All in all, a rather interesting experience.
Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.The one drink per hour thing is about maintaining a blood alcohol percentage below the legal limit if you are driving a car or planning on not getting arrested for public intoxication.
Chugging or one shot drinking can cause rapid intoxication. You feel fine until it gets into your bloodstream and then you are not fine because it all hits at once.
The other problem with chugging is that it increases the chances for alcohol poisoning. That can kill you.
Drinks that are sweet and taste like candy or cookies or fruit punch are also very deceptive because they mask the amount of alcohol in them. "Oh, it's so good! And 30 minutes later you're Face Down at Folk City
.
Eh, Mark, you're drunk all the time, I wouldn't use you as a benchmark.
(Not sure if I've told this story before.)
Funny story. The one time I got sufficiently inebriated, I was out with my colleagues at a party and had a couple of vodkas. So keeping in mind the principle of staying hydrated, after the first two, I'd decided to hold back and switch to orange juice... which my friends were liberally spiking with vodka while I wasn't paying attention. So that was another two before I realised something wasn't quite right.
...Of course, that was the point where I also realised I could no longer walk in a straight line or maintain a proper grip on objects, and I'd missed the last train home. So I headed back to the club and helped get the rest of my colleagues (some of who were vomiting liberally all over the sidewalk) home along with the designated driver, and tore a hole in my jeans at the knees while putting my far more inebriated co-worker in a full-nelson to stop him from going back in.
And this is why I don't go to clubs anymore.

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.I prefer the sweet drinks that mask how much alcohol is in them, because alcohol is bloody disgusting.
The first two times I actually got drunk, there were jello shots involved (set in orange wedges). And they were still more bitter than I'd have preferred.
Fresh-eyed movie blogBecause I am apparently a masochist and something of a fount of bad ideas when bored, I have taken it upon myself to watch That's My Boy. Wish me luck, y'all.
"Polite life will fill you full of cancer." - Iggy Pop "I've seen the future, brother, it is murder." -Leonard CohenI sense the boredome is great with that one. May the gods of the movies be with you.
So Eddie what has your work had you doing lately? Why am I asking? Because we get so little casual chat with you.
My work has been having me sign silly paper what I call "No Duh" paperwork statements and learning the new Hazardous Material labeling system being adopted.
Who watches the watchmen?The verdict: Some films are drinking-yourself-to-sleep-with-cheap-bourbon bad, That's My Boy is drinking-Everclear-straight-from-the-bottle bad.
I would rather re-watch A Serbian Film than that steaming pile of human excrement.
//Everclear: tastes like rubbing alcohol and heat

So... new benchmark for "sucks" has been achieved?
Hmmm... part of me can't wait for my finding Mark Kermode lamming into it, now <wonders where it is on podcast>... However, a Sandler film is likely to get him sighing gustily rather than bothering with the knives unless it finds another way to grind his gears. <_< <flips coin>
Dunno if it's worth ferreting it out. -_-
