Yeah, I’ve said that many times over the years. Though, I have certainly reduced the quantity! ---

> [@](#): > > **i give you 78 minutes before you hit the bottle again, you lush.** hair of the dog, y’know. last night my roommate had to do a project for one of her classes; comparing 10 different kinds of beer. so a few people came over to taste the beer and do a little “independant research” after the tasting was through. ugh, what a horrible project. i don’t thing i’ve ever had such a bad hangover. ---

Drink a big glass of water (a few of them, actually), and try drinking about half of a beer. Don’t as me why, but it usually works. Oh yeah, take some ibuprofen too. I have told myself I would never drink again many times, and then I learned that the only cure for a hangover is to get utterly and completely shitfaced for breakfast. Life is good 😃 ---

It’s 5.30 in the evening, I’ve only been out of bed for just over an hour and I want to _die_. I am only glad that I am not smoking at the moment because I can’t even imagine how horrible I would feel with a cigarette as well as an alcohol hangover. It was well worth it though 😉 ---

Things could be worse my friend. This morning, I got up to use the bathroom , and stepped in a pile of dog sh\*t. And I don’t have a dog. ---

For my eighteenth birthday, my boyfriend gave me a lovely North Face down jacket. A really nice, really expensive present. I proceeded to drink excessively that night and puke all over my North Face down jacket. Did that teach me a lesson??? Not exactly. I can count many drunken moments since then, but I just thought this story might cheer you up. ---

It wasn’t dog shit. he just called it dog shit 'cos he thought it was funny. Y’see, if he’d just called it shit, then it wouldn’t have made any sense to say that he didn’t have a dog. ---

Before you get in bed, drink two big glasses of water. This keeps dehydration at bay. Not that youll have the chance again. At least you know how those people on survivor three must feel being dehydrated & all. ---

Ah, the famous last words. What you need is a big, greasy breakfast. The kind with scrambled eggs, toast with butter and jelly, hash browns, a couple of big sausage patties, a glass of orange juice and some scalding black coffee. Yes, my friend, go eat a really hearty breakfast. You can then come back home and puke a few times, go back to bed 'til lunch, and when you wake up you’ll feel SO much better. Lunch will probably stay put and then you can treat yourself to a big dinner. Always worked for me in college. ---

usually i force myself to drink 2 glasses of water before i crash for the night if i’ve been drinking, but that night i kinda passed out/fell asleep before i could. i think that’s why the hangover was soooooooooo bad… i’m not used to a full fledged hangover, since drinking water the night before usually takes most of the pain out of it. and i _know_ i won’t be keeping to my OP statement. i’m turning 21 on the 6th!! ---

I’ve never been that drunk since(I decided that drinking doesn’t really have any tangable benifits) and I don’t drink vodka at all anymore…
