I plan to keep it that way

same, though I can count the number of times I've drank alcohol on 3 fingers.
it's 3 times (honk).

Once at a christmas 4-5 years ago, had 1 glass of babysham and I became a braindead lump for the rest of the night.
About 8 months ago (I think) I was with my close friend circle at one of their houses, and I had some apple sours.
About 6 months ago that same group of people went to the pub and we had a pitcher of some stuff and it was ok.

none of those times did I -really- drink drink, and the first time I would have been 14/15 with no prior drinking experience so that's probably why It hit me so hard that night.

I drink occasionally, but I am and was aware of how shit hangovers are from what I have been told, and have drank water or juice as well all those times I drank

I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything either, so I will continue doing what I have been doing in that regard

This right here.
What I have drank was alright.
but... nothing special really, so whenever we go out anywhere I tend to just get J2Os, orange juice tastes just as good as any alcohol I've drank.

I love me some OJ but i like beer and scotch too much to give it up at this point

Ultimately we all hydrate with water and water accessories.

I tend to only drink with my buds at their house, there's just something about sitting around a fire drinking. my only experience with alcohol thus far had been just JD whiskey, but last Saturday I bought some of the jd honey and man I really love that stuff. I had about half the bottle of that (it was a cheap $20 gift pack one and had two 375ml bottles) and boom I'm in that sweet zone for the rest of the night but I'm not really feeling the hangover the next day. I remember (different time) I was chilling at my buds house sleeping over that night and the next day I had to ride my bike home because we were out the day before biking before then fire, my legs were already dead from before but I don't know how I pedaled home.. unrelated to alcohol I bike on a mountain bike on the highest gears because idk that's how I am

I started to bounce back but then started to crash hard. So I kept chugging the Gatorade. Man I just gotta hydrate. Gotta get those vitamins. Electrolytes are the shit plants crave, right?

Turns out the Gatorade WAS FROM 1996 and had just been in my pantry for that long and I didn't notice. I was fucking poisoning myself ontop of having a hangover and it was awful as you can imagine. Ended up going home after vomiting pretty heavily multiple times, then drank water and spent the next like 18 hours straight curled up in bed trying not to die.

Highly sugary drink with lots and lots of added sugarsalt.

Probably not the best thing for a hang over because both of those things dehydrate you further.

irn bru is the best fucking thing for a hangover and I'm not just saying that 'cause I spent my immediately-post-drinking-age years in glasgow

by **IrishWristWatch0** » Wed Sep 14, 2016 11:04 am #211342

Th best thing for a hangover is a big breakfast.

(breakfast packs are fuckin' fantastic as a post-gym thing too. Wake up, lift for an hour, eat a fuckin tray of meat)

If you've never had a hangover you're missing out on a critical life experience.

It feels like absolute shit but at least there's some solidarity/empathy there. Brotherhood of the bottle.

by **Wyzack** » Wed Sep 14, 2016 7:22 pm #211438

In case I ever do drink, how should I combat a hangover?

Everyone jokes about cures but the only real cure is water and time

by **Timbrewolf** » Wed Sep 14, 2016 11:34 pm #211527

Eat food. Take some painkillers. Hydrate. Take vitamins.

The problem with all that is that a true hangover kills your appetite and makes you fucking nauseous as hell. The whole world is sea-sawing, something in your head is trying to claw its way out, and you just want to throw up forever.
Everything smells and tastes wrong. Everything is excrutiatingly loud. Everything is blindingly bright.

Like imagine feeling so shitty that just hearing a noise makes you want to puke. NOW YOU'RE INNIT, SON.

Drinking a lot of water BEFORE you go to bed works wonders.

Yo I've been reading heavily into kidney cancer and I read an interesting fact.

Alcohol can be attributed to many, many forms of cancer. Stomach, Liver, Pancreatic etc. If there is one carcinogenic substance that isn't called smoking and you should probably stop doing it's alcohol. Here's the thing though, in a cruel twist of fate your kidney's actually don't have any form of alcohol caused cancer, in fact, alcohol actually helps prevent kidney cancer. So you could live as the paragon of human health but one day you will get Renal Cell carcinoma and have to be on dialysis for life if it's non-metastatic (if it is metastatic then good fucking luck) or you get something far worse such as transitional cell cancer, all of which could've have been prevented had you drunk a couple of pints here and then.

Human physiology is a fickle thing and more often that not completely arbitrary.

My parents house went up about 2 hours ago

Everyone is fine, but we may have lost one of the cats

Upstairs and attic got gutted, probably lost a bunch of shit on the first floor to water damage

And I'm across the country and can't do fucking anything

Rip cat

by **Takeguru** » Thu Sep 15, 2016 5:25 pm #211720

I'm hoping she ran outside when it happened

My mom carried one of them out when the smoke detector went off but there's been no sign of the other, far as they can tell

And since there's currently a shit ton of news vans and fire trucks and stuff it's not likely she'd wander back right now

As an aside, I'm reading the news article and it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth
They mentioned my father by name, which is fine, but they used a headline like "local firefighter's house consumed in blaze" and it reeks of clickbait and I'm just getting mad at stupid shit

>There's a link to BUY THE PHOTO of my parent's house after it burned

Faulty outlet in my younger sister's room was the cause, she's been away at college though
Both cats are alive, though one ran outside and is hiding because of the horde of responders, Red Cross people, and rubbernecking cunts

Niece's goldfish died.
Her dad flushed it down the toilet.
Her mum asked her "Do you think he's in fishy heaven?"
to which she replied
and I quote
"No he's in fishy toilet"

Then when she was talking to nanny and me about it "What do you think he's doing now? are people just peeing on him?"
and we all just burst out laughing.

Christ. I was coding from 1 to just a few minutes ago. Almost non-stop save for getting up to go the bathroom or get a drink. For the past 2.5 hours or so I didn't even do that.

I've NEVER been able to focus this well. It just doesn't happen to me. I feel like an actual functional person for the first time.

Good things today

Friend of the family started a gofundme with a goal of 5k for the house repairs, got 1k of it within the first day

since my last posts i got to dabble in the different kinds of welding with stick, mig, and tig, and mig being my favorite. i also got to do plasma cutting, which was really fun and surprisingly loud. the mandatory first year experience class is also super easy, although that's not much of a shock
