Christmas Eve better for boozing than New Years Eve? Discuss!

[Leight0n]

I think New Years Eve can be a bit of an anti climax really. Taxi's are more expensive too!

Only problem with Christmas Eve is you hangover the next day and that you could always stand the chance of throwing up over your Christmas dinner.

What do you guys think?

[sophieb]

I think if you're already armed with the knowledge that you may have a hangover or throw up then you should perhaps consider drinking less on Christmas Eve! Just a thought!

[Leight0n]

bloody hell!

You old bore. I don't need advice or your thoughts thanks.

[sophieb]

I'm not an old bore! But it seems fairly logical that if you're trying to avoid a hangover/sickness that by not getting paraletic on 24th you wouldn't have to deal with either! Merry Christmas!

Yep LeightOn agree with sophieb. Get trollied on New Years Eve and less trollied Christmas Eve. It's a bummer to feel cr*p on Christmas Day when there's are so many yummy thinks to eat and drink. New Years Day just a waste of time anyway and nothing happens so doesn't matter it you spend it sleeping off hangover.

If you really want to go for it on Christmas Eve just drink loads of water all day leading up to it to try and rehydrate.
Enjoy !!!

I didn't just mean one is better over the other because of what you might be doing the next day.

Perhaps I should have just asked:

"Do you have a better night socialising with friends on Christmas Eve or New Years Eve?"

PHEW!

[Athley]

Oh you should've said!!!

Personally I think better socializing night Christmas Eve cos everyone's excited about THE DAY.

New Years Eve massive anticlimax that noone can usually remember the next day anyway.
OK!!

Christmas Eve is for gathering the family together and telling tales to children, especially ghost stories. They so look forward to Christmas Day that it is not right to be hungover and not join in the fun.The odd tipple does not go amiss. New Years Eve is for adults. THEN you can start serious drinking. Anyone not standing at 0600 on the 1st is an amateur. And, make it to the pub for opening time.
Happy Christmas everyone. And a Guid New Year, when it comes.

If you're not out of your teens yet, I'll forgive you; but any older than that and you ought to have learnt how to pace yourself by now! The general idea is to maintain yourself at the "whoo-hoo!!" stage and not reach the "Oh my god, I'm never doing this again!" stage.

My tip is always always always drink a pint of water before you go to bed after a bender (even if you don't feel like it) and if you still feel rubbish in the morning, a whole fizzy Vitamin C tablet in a tumbler of water often does the trick.

Christmas Eve is always a better night out as everyone is exited - New Years Eve is always an anti-climax after Millenium, even if you are drunk.

We always have xmas dinner at about 2pm so most hangovers have cleared by then.

I can't wait!

Xmas Eve for family. New Year out for snogs!
More seriously we always go to a hotel. No taxis, no worries, a couple of nights away from the chaos of Christmas plus we don't get that anticlimax feeling cos town was carp/expensive/short of barstaff!

[Compostella]

Its Christmas eve for me too as its all still to come.

New years just doesnt have the same feeling. Suppose its because its near the end of the festivities.

We're avoiding the after new years blues this year by going on holiday on the 5th.

Merry xmas!

Sounds like you are all Southerners. Come North for New Year Celebrations, they last for days.

[curlyperm]

[Leight0n]
