-- The Hangover Paradox
Pages (5): « 1 [2] 3 4 5 »

If you can�t trust yourself to be around drugs and alcohol, then simply avoid situations where you�ll be faced with them all together. It�s hard�especially if you are heavily involved in the scene (DJing, promoting, etc�), which you are, so you should just accept the fact that you�re always going to be a raging alcoholic, and are always going to have hangovers. lol

If I get invited out w/ a group of friends who I know will be rolling or doing blow or getting wasted, and I really don�t feel like getting all cracked out, I�ll just pass on meeting up with them, because I know I�ll have a couple of drinks and be like, �ahh fuck it, gimme a 40 bag or a pill�. It�s boring I know, but when I wake up the next day around 10 and it�s beautiful out and I�m on my way to starbucks and my phone rings and it�s another sober friend asking me if I want to hit the beach or go get some breakfast, I�m happy with my decision.

If I want to party, it's on my terms and when it's convenient for me. I know who to call when I wanna get down.

Originally posted by washout my favorite drinking time is when i have a shot of jager in front of me when im drunk on beer. a straight shot of jager before im drunk is still good, no doubt. but when im drunk on beer, and my body is still without any liquor, that first shot of jager is the most beautiful thing in the world.

in Schaumburg, IL there's a bar called Dakota's. On Mondays (or is it Tuesdays???) they have a "industry" special. which is basically anyone that works for the restaurant/club business. anyway i used to have a residency at Privilege (few blocks over) during the summer of '05 and, of course, get in on the special.

the special was many things, but the most important - $1.50 jagerbombs. one time, and i kid you not, myself and my partner in crime Steve split 23 of those bitches between us (i had 11 of them). Let's just say that I only knew the final count from the receipt in his back pocket and we woke up on his neighbor's porch (who thankfully was out of town). Steve was stretched out on the hot-tub cover while i casually chose the picnic table. there were 3 puddles of puke, one inches away from steve's face, and his carkeys were swimming at the bottle of the pool - which he later confessed i threw there because i didn't want him driving... the fact that we took a cab there and back made it even better.

ohh did i mention it was tuesday 2 pm when we woke up?

point taken. But - i haven't done drugs for 2 months now and last night's outing was a work-related outing. the thing is when i go out on weekends i have ample time to get some sleep and be okie-dokie. last night i went out knowing i had to work, had about 10 drinks knowing i'll be hungover, slept for around 7 hours and feel like utter shit. the paradox is that i know how i'm going to feel and completely hate myself the next morning but i still choose to do it. the other paradox is that this was never a problem until lately. as far back as december of last year I remember going out and getting jacked and powdering my nose all night and still getting to work on time the next morning. now i'm off the flour and drink less yet my hangovers are worse. two questions arise really - is it my lifestyle (stress, nutrition, sleep patterns) that is causing this. or has my body become completely destroyed from earlier party days.

COR VERSION: Is it gonna be like this forever or can I fix'it?

You�ve at least overcome the hardest step which is denial

You�re just a jackass I guess. I dunno. You�re still young though. You�ll mellow out in your late 20�s maybe. Or maybe not. My ex is 31 and he still parties like a rock star and drinks and drives. I don�t think he�ll ever change.

you need to stop being hungup on the whole jackass thing. we've never hungout so you can't judge me. i'm a goddamn sweetheart and prince charming when i choose to be.

also -

The jackass part was in reference to your inability to control yourself around alcohol when you know you should, not how you treat people.

that shouldn't qualify one as a jackass. idiot, yes.

lol they have the same meaning to me. i think "idiot" is more offensive to be honest but whatever



WHAT EVVV

don't make me bust out the dictionary.

ooooooh!!!

go ahead n kick some knowledge boy

you're gettin' ooooooooooold!

seriously, just make sure you drink a lot of water between drinks. that's usually my downfall and the reason i end up with bad hangovers even when i don't drink a ton.

BRILLIANT.

lol

no seriously it is. it's true. dennis, just slame 2 full glasses of water before u crash. it really helps. at least with me it does.

I have not drank since the last time I said I wouldnt for the same reason. Drinking is'nt even all that great I'd rather snort some brownstone or an oc.

i know it's just weird to be up at a bar and go "can I have a stoli soda please... and a glass of water" and to do so regularly. maybe it's a testosterone thing.

well if you're too much of a "man" to order a glass of water then you have no right to be bitching about a hangover!

You're an idiot.

tell us something we don't know.

who gives a fuck what a stupid bartender thinks.

oh and by the way, it still helps if u just go get drunk and then only drink the water when u get home before you crash. and this isn't something i need to remember because usually i'm dying of thirst by the time i get home anyway from being dehydrated from the booze. your body will react and make you thirsty.

everyone's body is different.
ill drink booz all night and get home and not need any water.
water is for the newbs.

I've never had that problem when ordering at the bar. I'll normally buy a pint of lager/beer, which takes me fucking ages to finish by the way, then head up to the bar and ask for a pint of water.

Although if there are some hot women around the bar that give me a funny look, I'll tell them it's for my mate *points* who's a bit pissed.

So i get a laugh as well. WIN WIN
