Azdeus Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 You just haven't hit 30 yet. Enjoy My mother's 54 and she still never gets hangovers, and boy... she does drink alot. Probably could take drink Ros and Kaine under the table after each other and wake up at 9 the morning after without any sign of headache. I've read or heard somewhere that it's in the genes, but I'm usually to busy to feel ashamed about stuff the day after to feel if I have an headache... 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Calax Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Went out, worked, saw "Ender is crying", hung with my ex-roomie and her sister (no GD we didn't sleep together) got told that another girl wants to see dark world with us, checked my account and realized that I still don't think I got all my tips for last month properly. Too bad. Ros and his multi-make out night would have had nothing on that! It'd be two women who are currently "rebounding" off bad breakups. I don't think it'd end well.

JFSOCC Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 *sigh* depression is getting its claws deep in me... it's insidious in that it strikes when I'm not in a position to do anything about it. Although being a-social doesn't help in the least. And nobody give me the trite "Go to a bloody bar!" BS that's always spouted off. It's to loud for me to go there, and I feel I can't get out of my current cycle of doom that is "Work or class every goddamn day of your life BWAHAHAHAAHA!" talk to a psychologist or psychotherapist. Even if they can't cure your depression, they can help you bear through it. Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate.

JFSOCC Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 I'm one of those aholes that can drink till I drop and then wake up 4 hours later completely fine and in a great mood. I've had hangovers about 4 times in my life (and not for a lack of trying).I got the same thing. I've only ever had a hangover once, and it was over pretty quickly. I've read that people with blue eyes can handle their alcohol better than others, (which is why it's easier for them to become drunks) I don't know if it's true, but it might explain it for me.

Rosbjerg Posted November 10, 2013 Author Posted November 10, 2013 I'd think that's probably more a coincidence? as in people from northern Europe seem to be some of the "best" drinkers in the world and blue eyes are pretty prevalent here. But I have blue eyes, so maybe there's some truth to it.. 1 Fortune favors the bald.

Labadal Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 I know a lot of people over here that get tipsy after a drink or two. Unfortunately, not all Scandinavians have it in their blood. Then again, I don't consider them true vikings. 3

Well, congratulations Sargy As far as I'm concerned, you're still one of the "young'uns" Yeah, drink plenty of (non-alcoholic) liquid towards the end of a wild night out. I've been so drunk it took me two days to sober up, but never had a hangover (although I can feel a bit tired afterwards, strangely enough). 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

I think the color of the eyes is irrelevant, my mother has blue eyes and she totally ''feels'' only a beer or two even though she does not admit it, my uncle has blue eyes and he can drink moderately.

(Drank an absurd amount of different types of alcohol.) Didn't remember much the day after. Ever since that, I tend to drink moderately.

Raithe Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 My sleep patterns over the weekend got disrupted. Or at least, I pretty much was awake for most of the weekend with minimal sleep. Therefore I'm hoping I'll make it through a Monday and manage to get some rest at an appropriate time at the end of the day... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Walsingham Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) I slept through two alarms and got 11 hours sleep. Fortunately working from home today, and quite honestly it would be weird to complain after so many years of insomnia. I feel like I'm both feeling younger, and I'm absolutely positive I'm losing weight. Belts are all down to their tightest notches. EDIT: Logically I could equally just be squeezing myself like a nearly empty tube of toothpaste, and be locked in a cycle of delusional air-loss. It would explain the talking bats.

Azdeus Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 That's good to hear Walsh! I'm quite envious of your sleep actually, the last few days I've been getting very little, because everyone and their mother have woken me up hours before I was ready to.
