I've been drinking so long I don't even GET hangovers anymore. alcoholic, anyone?

True fact: You can put cheap vodka through a Brita filter a few times to make mid-to-high range vodka. As in, that's how they make mid-to-high range vodka.

My parents were teenagers when they had me, which meant I got to witness their binge-drinking early 20's. Except I was an evil child and used it to my advantage, as in getting them to agree to things for the future just so I would shut up and let them sleep. Many a post-hangover trip to the mall for BSC books and…

I'm with LadySparrow- it's straight single malt whiskey for me, followed by a microbrew beer chaser. Repeat. Keep repeating....

You're a female in a metal band that doesn't get hung over after raging? I bow to you.

Many years ago, I was so shitfaced from a work holiday party that (while lying on the bathroom floor attempting to breathe) I had to direct my eldest child to go upstairs and wake her father so he could get the kids to school. She was 9. I don't think I've had 3 drinks together since then. So yeah.

Same here, 31 and can still drink the younglings under the table and wake up able to go to work, even if not quite spring fresh. The key here, as with everything in life, is to maintain your drinking habit. Don't just splurge in those college years then settle down like chumps. You maintain that shit. The only…

I think you should drink a lot of water and then just do shots! Throw in a sparkling water to mix it up or maybe a coke for the caffeine to keep you going between shots and while dancing, but don't go drinking shots and mixed drinks. I love some nice vodka in a mixed drink, but when it's time to do shots, I stay away…

That is so friggen adorable it's almost worth it. What a sweet little girl you have!

I'm getting really bummed out reading all these comments where people say, "Just get some sleep, DUH," as if you can just lie on down whenever your little heart desires and get a solid eight hours as long as time is permitting. I get about one good night's sleep per week, regardless of how much I've imbibed.

It's not that bad as long as I can keep my wastebasket between my legs at work until just after my Quarter Pounder with Cheese and PowerAde Revitalizing Lunch (TM). Once I can keep lunch down, I can keep the Excedrin down, and its all good from there.

Also: either quit, or severely curtail, your smoking. Cigarettes compound hangovers by approximately one millon percent.

The best (only) way of managing a hangover is a bloody with enough fixins that it counts as breakfast.

I know! Isn't it just the height of rudeness when people are going about filing their actual real lives and don't take random internet stranger's aesthetic tastes into account?

Shoot back with, "I used to think that, too, but you'll change your mind. I see that with people who have kids all the time - they swore up and down they wanted them, and then realized that they actually didn't. I will keep you in my prayers."

I ended a gawd-awful 4 year relationship with a cheating asshole boyfriend about 2 1/2 months ago. I was destroyed/heartbroken/paralyzed. I'm 38 and a divorced single mom so it's not like I'm "out there" finding new dudes on the regular or something. Anyway, tonight was great. Tonight I stepped out of my comfort zone.…

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned an idea I had - but I'm grey, so few saw it. Here goes again:

Our female cat is constantly trying to arrange little "accidents" for me. She only circles and rubs on my ankles when I'm carrying knives or pots of boiling water. She never lays on the kitchen floor unless I'm cooking, in which case she stretches herself out to full length about in inch behind my feet. I can't feel…

You make a good last point. I actually just spoke with his sister and told her what happened. She's such a calm, rational, and kind person— even she said not to sweat it, and that he needs a taste of his own medicine.
