Oboviously you've discovered the major side-effect of drinking too much alcohol - it erodes the balance mechanisms in your ears, that's why you can;t walk straight when you've had a few.

And you've also discovered the major benefit that follows the erosion of said balance mechanisms, the next day, two little men arrive with huge hammers and chisels, and they repair them for you!!!!!

[Bobbisox1]

Spot on Andy, how very dare they :0(((

[andy-hughes]

Bobbi - // Spot on Andy, how very dare they :0((( //

The worst thing is, they don't even do it while you are asleep, which would be ideal - their signal to start their first hammering and chiseling is the instant you open your eyes ...

[Hopkirk]

You'll never do it again, will you?

If Bobbi is anything like most of us, this won't be a new discovery for her.

Haha great comment Naomi xx

Hi Bobbs. I feel sorry for those who don't drink, because when they wake up that is as good as they going to feel all day.

[Bobbisox1]

Haha ,and still be all ‘self righteous’ as well Sparklykid x

I like alcohol but I know my limitations and I stick to them. I can't think of a worse self-inflicted ailment than a hangover. Been there - and it's horrible.

An oldie from, I think, Dean Martin who made being squiffy part of his schtick.

Speaking as a tee-totaller, I can confirm that because it's a joke, it's not at all true.

I am a night person, and have always found getting out of bed at any time of the day akin to undergoing major surgery.

For at least an hour, I am groggy and disorientated, but then it wears off, and I feel absolutely fine for the rest of the day.

I would suggest that that's exactly the same as anyone feels who has had a drink the night before - except that my liver can go to medical science - one owner, barely used.

Bobbi - // Haha ,and still be all ‘self righteous’ as well Sparklykid x //

Speaking personally, not at all.

I don't drink alcohol because I don't like the taste, or the effect.

That doesn't give me moral bragging rights over anyone as far as I can see.

But you're right, there are those who take abstention as some sort of moral superiority, but that says more about them than about the side-effects of drinking a little too much sometimes.

You suggest wrong. A hangover is rather more than that.

[aelmpvw]

if you've got a proper hangover the only way to feel fine on that day is get drunk again, which i don't advise . . .

naomi - // You suggest wrong. A hangover is rather more than that. //

I do know that - but obviously, hangovers vary for numerous reasons - the amount imbibed, and the experience and constitution of the imbiber being just two of them.

We can't really offer hard and fast examples to debunk a cliched joke from an unpleasant deceased 'comedian'.

I have had two hangovers in my life, the last one was well over forty years ago, but the experiences are vividly imprinted on my brain, and I do believe that even if i had drunk that amount of alcohol because i enjoyed it, rather than, as I did, drunk it to see what being drunk was actually like, I still would have sworn of alcohol the day after, and stuck to it!

My experience was the same as being sea-sick, for a couple of hours, you are afraid you are going to die, and then for the next couple, you are afraid you are not going to die!!!
