Tonight's Lesson (learn from my mistakes, SVTPerformance!)

[James Snover]

Say you just had a bit of success with your writing career. So to celebrate you buy a bottle of 10-year-aged Laphroaig Scotch Whiskey. Which, I don't care who you are, is the good stuff.

Now, say that after having two "quadruples" of Laphroaig, you decide, (hours later, of course!) to go back to your usual, bottom-dollar, Vodka-blended Texas-made Whiskey.

Okay? Now that we have set the stage? The moral of the story, my SVTPerformance homies, is:

DO. NOT. DO. THAT!

Seriously. It ruins both the high-end and the low-end. Just don't do it. Like sex, you can low to high. But you don't want to go the other direction. God, I wish I had stuck to my original idea and used the cheap stuff as inexpensive rocket fuel, after all alcohol does still possess a nice amount of specific impulse, no matter how much it tastes like diesel fuel ... but ... I've said too much, already ...

You have been warned, SVTPerformance!

You are welcome.

P.S. And why in the Hell any of you reprobates couldn't have forewarned me about this, I do not understand! What? Am I alone in here? Am I the only one who doesn't want to see my fellow SVTP'ers not suffer as I have, lo, this awful evening?

How many times do you need to remind yourself that you’re not 20, and even mixing beer at this stage in life is asking for a severe hangover

 

[Uncle Meat]

Laphroaig = Bog Water with extra peat! That stuff is way too hard core for me, props to you.
I stopped mixing my alcohols long ago. It's either a Scotch night, or a Beer night, or a Wine night. I feel much better in the AM when I stick to a single intoxicant.

U.M.

 

[365 Saleen]

I have made a routine of drinking a LARGE glass of water before going to bed. Yes, I have to get up in the middle of the night to pee, but I don't wake up with a hangover either.

 

[BOOGIE MAN]

Powerade and ibuprofen before bed

Yuns need ter stick to shine. Good stuff is clear as spring water and makes you alls cousin look like a stranger.

20? Hell, I'd be happy to be 50, again! 60, looking at 61 in a couple more months, so far, has SUCKED.

 

[Bullitt1448]

We thought you would have known better…. If we knew you didn’t know, we would have warned you. Honest we would have

 

[CobraBob]

Great pick, Vince. One of my favs from back in the day. So apropos!

 

[SecondhandSnake]

Reading the thread title I was expecting a story about an accident with subatomic particles and getting a visit from the IAEA.

Instead it was just Snover doing the technicolor yawn.

I re-learn this lesson every few years.

I’m guessing the Blarfing was epic?

I am ... doubtful ... as to the veracity of your statement. Now, what'd I do with the cheap whiskey ...

 

[SolarYellow]

Two beer queer.

 

[BlueSnake01]

Powerade and ibuprofen before bed

Or Liquid IV, this stuff was made from the Alcoholic Gods.

20? Hell, I'd be happy to be 50, again! 60, looking at 61 in a couple more months, so far, has SUCKED.

That fact that there are still men having sex at that age gives me hope!

We didn’t warn you because we all thought you might be over 22. I have heard of these hang-over things but I am blessed to not suffer from them, other than the following day fog of cluelessness

Question, and please, be honest, this is for science: Does anyone even notice the difference between the two states?

Seriously, I've had people tell me I'm nicer when I have a hangover. Because the neurons hurt so badly, and are so mutually hostile to each other, that I can't think up ways to tell them how dumb they have been.

I never throw up from getting drunk. That just makes the alcohol cry. And anyways, I've got neurons I'm trying to kill, in an effort to be better able to understand everyone else on Earth. 60, and I apparently have not killed enough of them off yet. Nonetheless, I persevere.
