Once a booze hound, now a semi-tamed, mostly-domesticated shadow of my former self. Saturday night found me at a wedding. The booze was free-flowing and I was mad for it. Four pints of lager, five gin and tonics, and a bottle of red all fired off. I don't normally like red wine, or any wine for that matter, but it was in front of me.

Completely inebriated, my lovely girlfriend and I cabbed it home were I promptly passed out. Sunday morning had my head feeling as if in a vice. I mean, it was bad. Worst. Hangover. Evar. Alas, here I sit, Monday afternoon, and my head still pounds...

My days of killing twenty-sixers of vodka before hitting the bars are done...

Too much combination there. (plus red wine tends to be headache fuel anyway, but I still like it!)

WOW! I said the same thing to myself 2 weeks ago after a wedding (and a similar menu of alcoholic beverages). What a drag it is getting old...

Beer before liquour and you'll get much sicker
but holy crap, in your circumstance
you mixed red wine, dark beer, bitter liquour
a wonder you didn't piss your pants

Moderation is key for a wedding like that
it would really be foolish to vomit in your hat
Perhaps since you're older, your tolerance is low
let us youngins' drink and quit hoggin' the flow!

I've been down that road. My fight career was short, but notorious among those who knew me. Beaten down time and time again by hangovers of legendary proportions I'd brazenly get back up the next weekend and pound down the booze as if oblivious to its inevitable punishments the next day.

Well, there's only so much of a beating one can take before they get tired of standing back up and as a result I've not been drunk in several years. I drink more often but my days of drunkeness are far behind me. My old body just can't take it anymore.

It's been awhile since I have had a bad hangover. Ever since I have turned 21 I have not really had a hangover but I have had really bad days in the past. I guess I am luckly though, since I routinely mix up beer and liquour when drinking.

<knocks on wood> :)

I wish I got headaches during a hangover.

Instead I get horrible stomach malaise, meaning I vomit for about 3 hours then just feel like I have the flu the rest of the day. Ugh.

If I have even a small hangover (a few hours) I think I drank too much, you've been hungover for two days?

Jeebus, I'd hate to be your liver.

Gin is EVIL.

It also tastes like you are licking a pine tree.

Whatever, slick. At my peak I would go out on benders for days on end, up 'til 9am, drinking bottle after bottle of vodka or gin, or a flat of Stella. I'm twenty-five and getting old, like my mate Skoorb said, it catches up to you eventually.

Yes, gin is evil. Flash back to two years ago. After drinking eighty Pounds worth of gin and tonic in a London club, I awoke at 5am to find myself standing up in the shower in my hotel suite. The lights were out, the door was closed, and I had no idea where I was. Ah, memories...
