I still enjoy my whisky and wine along with the occasional cigar however. A man has to have his vices!

You are speaking my language.

I'm just northwest of you in BTR.

Your doing it wrong, with age comes wisdom. Have a beer for breakfast. No hangover.

I would say 40 was biggest decline so far. Have knee and back issues more often. Still fighting the good fight though.

Ah, Red Stick. One of my favorite places! So many good memories from college, living the Animal House dream at the frat house. Good times!

Still have my season tickets for LSU football but with active teenagers (16 and soon to be 15) my weekends are full. Only make one or two games a year. If you're ever down this way, let me know. Drinks on me!

I see what you did there.

Yes they find it very attractive.

I make it easy on myself and just the water to my scotch.

If they don't solve the budget issues soon, there won't be an LSU if what I'm reading is correct. Same here in IL. Wifey and I might both find ourselves unemployed by this summer if the idiots in the state house don't pull their heads out of their asses.

I'm seriously careful about drinking for just this reason. I get hangovers on waaaay less booze and they kill me now. Although it's been years since I've had a bad one. But even overdoing it a little will make me feel like crap the next day.

I just down a bottle of coconut water before bed and after bed. Works wonders.

I forgot which brand it is but the water is naturally pink.

It helps but the alcohol has to metabolize.

I just figured out what my hangover threshold is, so now I know when the line is about to be crossed and stop drinking at that point...,

That's kind of sad, yet funny to read. Oh well, back to fart roulette.

8 6.9% Miller Fortunes or two pints of Crown Royal.

Two fifths of Goosey if it's a weekend night.

8 beers you candy ass. Yesterday I had 4 beers and 3 shots at the pool as well as my 200 MLS of rum in the first 2-3 hrs. No hangover. We got up at 4 to drive to San Ignacio.

Okay, 8 isn't hangover point, 8 is the point of where I'm drunk and should stop drinking due to work in the morning.

I haven't had an actual hangover since high school. No I lied, when I went on a cruise with the ex, after her old neighbor and I got done partying at the bar, I think I ended up in the bathroom on the floor asking for a sandwich and slept there because neither her or her mom cared to scratch my back like I asked for.

The next day was rough, but I didn't complain one peep. Gotta keep truckin.

Are you a 52 year old virgin?

Nkc · 02-17-2016, 05:31 PM

For a habitual drinker, I've tried everything. A hangover is a hangover and there's no way around it. It just gets worse with age. I could drink less but what's the point.

Sidewinderpb · 02-17-2016, 05:38 PM

My body continuously thwarts my best efforts. Just pass out where I stand and wake up in front of the fridge. I figure that my unconscious self just consumes whatever I need to prepare for the next day.

Everything changes in your 30s. You feel older at 30. Then you change scene and start hanging with more mature ppl. You feel younger again because most might be older than you. Late 30s, you get that old feeling again coz you're approaching 40. So you ditch the big Mercedes and go for a bimmer to feel younger. Later on, it'll be a porsche.
