I haven't really been drinking much in the past few months. Just really haven't had the urge, plus I've been working out a lot, and all the booze does is negate a lot of that work.
Tonight I went to see some friends of mine play a show, and had four beers throughout the course of the evening. I never got drunk, but goddamn do I ever feel like shit right now.


Booze is supposed to make ya feel good, but I feel like I just rolled around in a bucket of yuck.
Does that happen to anyone else?

It just means yer a puss puss. You need to train for this.


Shut the fuck up and have another beer.

yeah. between trying to being the responsible adult for a bunch of "kids", school, and martial arts i just don't get to relax with alcohol at all.

i still like the taste, but can't stand the effects. if i drink more than one beer i can pretty much write off feeling human the next day. not sick, not hungover, but just nasty.

Depends. I can consume six beverages in six hours or maybe a little less and still get up the next day feeling like a million bucks. If I'm feeling exceptionally wealthy I can drink up to eight. Special occasions maybe a wee bit more.
But when i suffer, I suffer mightily. I try to keep daily consumption around four, five max.

Although about three years ago or so I distinctly remember having two beers and the next day dying of a massive hangover (which turned out to be the first of a series of migraines). I've also come to discover I am either sensitive or allergic to acetominophen, regardless that the stuff is poison anyway.

Ain't that the truth. I still like to get my groove on now and then, but not nearly as often in the past. It's been so long since I've had a drink that I can't remember when my last one was. Maybe 2-3 months?

PBR here. Fancy beers have to be treated much differently.

I prefer to drink in the morning. Then through the rest of the day. Then a few before bed. Basically, if you don't stop drinking, you never get that hangover/death feeling.

Yep, I'm a booze snob. I drink almost entirely for the flavor. Normally I stick to hard liquor, as I've found that the "bucket of yuck" side effects are much smaller. Still, though, I wish I could have that nice, warm, Whiskey flavor, or that cool refreshing beer-ism without that "I sort of just poisoned myself a little bit back there" sensation afterwards.

And FWIW, I trained my liver pretty intensively throughout a large portion of my twenties. It used to be that a six pack of ANY beer just meant I wasn't thirsty anymore.

I feel for you, man. To have such a debilitating condition, at such a young age, never able to reach your potential.

I only get unpleasant side effects if I drink shitty booze/brews or really really overachieve (and the latter usually entails the former, since I'll [a] run out of good stuff, and won't care).

Short answer: it's a combination of lack of training and just getting old. Shit just don't work the same way as it did "back in your 20s."



And no, it ain't just you.

Were people smoking cigarettes at the venue? Sometimes it seems a smoky room can make me feel more crappier the next day than a few beers will.
Do people still smoke indoors anywhere?

Nay, I peaked early. My true potential was absolutely reached in this regard. By all accounts, I really ought to be dead.
Well, still dead, actually. I took a brief visit to the other side once with the help of some booze and a minor handful of sleeping pills. My girlfriend smacked the holy living fuck out of me because she couldn't think of anything else to do to get me to start breathing again.
It worked, and the first thing I did when I woke up (immediately post smackage) was decide to drive to Phoenix for a vacation. We left later that afternoon. It was a fun trip, except for the blood splatters and the chunks of brain and hair in the lampshade above our hotel room bed.

Ever fuck a stripper in a bed where someone died, less than 24 hours after a near fatal drug overdose? I have.

Ahhh the glory days.

Don't worry GG, I ain't crying.

Although I haven't gotten drunk in a long time, about one drink per hour is totally sustainable for however long with no hangover.

Who has time for that?

PBR here.

Me too.

Me too, that's why I drink PBR.

That's all I have at home--cans for me, and bottles for if any sophisticates like you ever drop in.

Some times it's good, sometimes it's bad. More booze makes me hate humanity less. I find my homebrew doesn't mess me up too bad unless I try to act 22 again.
