Sure did. Met some new people, and that's always a good thing.

Oh dear, the hangover. Great, now I'm afraid to go to bed. [lol]

Drink lots of water, Roy. You'll be fine functioning pretty okay.

I pulled a muscle either yesterday or Sunday. Not bad, just need to tread lightly for a few days.

My friend at the bar indeed gave me a lot of water. I'm drinking some more water as I am typing this.

I really hope that I don't puke while I sleep. [lol]

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.

dRoy: one drink per hour? Da fuck? That girl must've been one of those pansies at the APA that claim five drinks in a day is a binge.

Which, by their logic, I've gone on triple binges on 6th Street, lol.

Thanks for the advice, guys. smile

@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. [lol]

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.

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.tongue

(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.

I certainly never heard of that story, and it's quite amusing. [lol]

I make sure to drink just enough to not to get inebriated, because I usually go to bar alone. If I can't walk back to home, I got a porblem. tongue

Y'know, there's a word for what you feel when you're watching a Marine do something he's set his mind to accomplishing. Awe-inspiring.

I've been around bored Marines, Teuf. You're completely correct that it's chaos and amusement, but it's still awe-inspiring levels of both.

My dislike of alcohol is that it takes many shots of vodka to hit my drunk button. Last time I tried I lost count at 12.

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.

Lerad: That sucks. Don't let it get to you too much though.

I am apparently not quite done with my cold. Still got the cold and I am still fatigued in general. Thought I don't feel like hammered shit. So in general I am doing better in general but not quite past it.

Because 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.

I 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.

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.

[up]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. -_-
