Bed Spins

[cardboard]

Whatever happened to getting the bed spins. I used to get them all the time when I was a kid, but now Im fine no matter how much I drink. Not that I miss them mind

hi cardboard wt do u mean by bed spins ? :)

[cardboard]

When you've had a good few drinks, and you're lying in bed and it feels like the room is spinning. This goes on until you either throw up or pass out

[smudge]

Is it just when you're dropping off to sleep? I haven't a medical solution, but you could always try nailing the bed legs to the floor!

[smudge]

I know what you mean cardboard, it's a bit like when you're having anaesthetic & going into the land of nod.

[amarillis]

I still get them (most recently on Wednesday night!). I always hope I pass out rather than throw up but it doesn't always happen.

[cardboard]

Thats exactly it smudge. Amarillis, how old are you/how long you been drinking? Just wondering if its an age/tolerance thing

[amarillis]

I'm 27, I've been drinking for about 12 or 13 years. How old are you? Does the age/tolerance theory work out?

[cardboard]

Nah, doesnt work out at all. Im 28 and been drinking about 14/15 years, but I havent had the bed spins for ages. So theres that theory out the window.

[amarillis]

Maybe its a male/female tolerance thing? Are you a guy or a girl?

[cardboard]

A guy. And you?

[amarillis]

A girl - we may have an answer here...

[cardboard]

Yep, could be onto something. I never honk when I drink nowadays either. Do you?

[amarillis]

Do you mean throw up? Yeh I still do that.

[cardboard]

Sorry, should have realised honk isnt a well used term for being sick. So its either a boy/girl thing, or it stopped when I moved down south. But I think its more likely to be the boy/girl thing

[amarillis]

I agree, it's probably the girl/boy thing. I've moved all over the place and it's never made any difference! Damn alcohol-intolerant girl genes!

Well, for you young 'uns - I can confirm that as you get older, the hangovers get worse.  Haven't had a spinning room for a while, but that could be because I barely make it to my room as I spend most of the night wrapped around the toilet.

 

 

[amarillis]

Octavius don't tell me that! How old are you?

[jimmer]

ok two best solutions to prevent the spins:

1: Eat Eat Eat chips, burger, toast. according to "scientists" a keebab really does the trick although they are a bit greasy.

2: open the window in your bedroom. I really find this works cools down the head etc.

Why doesn't it happen to you any more? tollerence i would say. oh, bit scary that.

1.  It makes you a fet person - and I don't want that!

2.  There is a danger of swyaing forward and out of the window!!

 

amarillis - recently I was 32,

even more recently I was 33

I think as I've got older, I've actually gotten to know my limit better.  Rather than drink until I throw and ruin a good night, I drink until I've had enough then go home.  Tolerance has probably gone up too, compared to when I was a kid, but I think I drink slower now and only treat myself to spirits if I'm far too sober at 10pm ;o)
