QuoteDrinking in moderation is essentially a waste of money.

A good glass of wine with a fine meal give you a pleasant feeling without being drunk.

I got drunk one time at 16 and learned my lesson and never got drunk again in 46 years.

There are cheaper ways to get high without the hangover.

I don't drink. It's too much to deal with.  Sloshing down all that liquid is inconvenient and makes you pee in unsavory bathrooms that smell like naphthalene and harbor god knows what kind of microbes.  Give me a pharmaceutical grade pill instead, lol. Legitimate pharmaceuticals can be titrated to ones needs, legally prescribed, much more easy to manage, the sought for effect is studied, predictable and has the weight of millions of dollars of pharmaceutical research behind it.  The toxic effects have been measured and spelled out in exacting detail.  And there is no hangover to deal with.  Hee hee...   

Your post sounded like it was suggesting pill popping instead of alcohol use. I simply warned against that kind of discussion, as I would for any post that sounded like it was promoting drug use. I don't appreciate the confrontational attitude.

We don't want to get into discussions about the recreational use of drugs,

But, we're talking about drinking to the point of hangover, and somehow that's NOT recreational use of drugs?  What? 

Why drinking is the most common way, throughout history, for people to recreate with chemicals.

Good point lol. but drinking's legal.
I cautioned the poster to watch what they were saying, as the post sounded like it was headed down the wrong road.

Wow!!! Annwyn gets a hangover and everyone jumps into a Fuss Festival. My My My....

It didn't really sound like anyone was promoting anything to me. The only mention of drugs was legally prescribed and regulated med.s

Understandably, some people use them illegally for recreation. That of coarse is frowned upon.

There are some recovering alchi's and drug addicts here. Let's think about understanding and support to help them work through their problems 

Back in the day...

Pass out time... Advils, plenty of water...Jim Beam remanants on the bedstand, in case I woke up.

Morning...
Finish Jim Beam, more advil, water, cigs, shower.

BREAKFAST....I swore by this for too long.
1. 6oz of tomato juice.
2. 12oz can of Coors Light.
3. Bowl of Frosted Flakes.
4. 1 12oz glass.

Mix the tomato juice and half of the Coors Light in said glass.

Pour the rest of the Coors Light over the Frosted Flakes.

Beer and tomato juice... breakfast of a desparate drunkard.

BTW... most misuse of a prescription drug, even over the counter, and contra-directions (ex huffing paint) is illegal in the US.

BTW2... with the exception of detox meds, and few other 'scripts... drug addiction related: proper use dosent result in that "high" feeling. EVEN YOUR HEAVY DUTY PAIN MEDS!!!!... if proper pain managment care is used.

BTW3. Misuse of serotonin reuptake inhibs. would qualify under btw1.

And slowly killing yourself is?

Don't know any cures for a bad hangover. But I do remember a quote in a medical joural obituary.

Prof XXX could drink a bottle of whisky a night. And regularly demonstrated it.

A shot of pure oxygen will put a hangover on hold for a while.
Old Air Force trick, and not just used by the pilots.

Bryce, you WERE suggesting recreational use of pharmaceuticals.  I'm kind of in school for pharmacy, work there, etc.  What makes you think I would get away with that sort of thing?  Furthermore what makes you think that I won't call out a pill popper when I see one?

Drinking is for the fun, not for the intoxication.  I don't see anything social about popping some xanax or oxycontin unless you're either a stripper or a hooker and ALL of you are on that crap.

Some people drink every week in moderation, some people go out once every couple months and get wasted, some people get wasted every night, some people won't touch it, and still others, apparently, prefer to pop their pills and scorn the antics of us bottle heads.

So, the point of this thread was for me to whine about my hangover.  Hangover's gone, whining is done, and I have to be at work shortly.

Thread closed.
