    Dilution is a must - the quantity you drink is up to you - but dilute it to saturation. Regards Nish (still very much hung over from last night) X|

              I may be a bit hungover tomorrow, as I've had more beer tonight than I have in a long time, but I doubt it. I haven't had a hangover in 25 years. It's still good advice, though; I guzzle a half to a full gallon of water a day as a matter of habit. Booze dehydrates the human body - my wrinkles are proof of that. It also depletes the body of all water-soluble vitamins, so I strongly recommend that if you drink the stuff you take a decent multivitamin tablet before you go to bed. Take it with a large glass of water, too, to help with the rehydration you're going to need in the morning anyway. Dilution while drinking defeats the purpose - I was drinking with a purpose tonight, and as usual, there is a woman involved. My purpose was to eradicate the pain she is causing me, and it worked admirably. I even managed to craft a loving and accepting email to her and send it. I'm rather proud of that accomplishment. I may follow up with flowers tomorrow, but I know better than to do any online ordering when I'm drinking. We'll see... Go ahead and dilute, my friend, but I can guarantee, especially if you decide to marry, that there will be times when you don't want your drinks diluted. Hopefully those times will be few and far between; I happen to think that they will be very rare, but I have been known to be wrong. Anyway, the key to survival as a drinker is to drink a lot of water and take a lot of vitamins. Try it - you'll feel a lot better...

                    I feel like I haven't most mornings anyway. :sigh: (I'm a night person, my natural waking time is 10am till 3am, not 7am till 1am which I mostly have to have... A shift of just a few hours totally throws me out for days.)

                      Nish, Nish, Nish...dilution? Pah! If you must dilute, dilute in your stomache with food and water, don't dilute your drinks, that way lies madness (or something bad ;)).

                        Ahhh..that's the beauty of working from home. I've been waking up and going to sleep any time I feel like it for over 5 years now and strangely enough I usally always wake up somewhere between 7 and 8 am and always go to sleep somewhere between 10pm and midnight depending upon how good the book is that I'm currently reading in bed. (aside from the occasional late night partying on weekends of course) I don't know how in the world you guys cope with coding all day to someone else's schedule, that would kill any creative juices and make it soul sucking work for me. I wouldn't last a month in a cubicle with meetings, surrounded by dead-eyed corporate lackeys...ugh! X|

                            Roger Wright wrote: Booze dehydrates the human body This is something I have never understood. No, I understand why alcohol dehydrates the human body, and I have suffered horrible migrains for years, so I expect I have some "idea" what a hangover is like, at least from the pain portion. I only drank heavily for 3 months. Four if you count I started drinking wine to relax the anxiety of having to go home each night. Yes, most assuredly there was a woman involved. After a month of trying to relax to get my mind off "things" I graduated to drinking to unconciousness. My favorite was at the beginning of that hard 3 months: drinking one pint of crown royal on the walk home, and drinking another pint at the door in one guzzle (like drinking a soda, slam it down hard). Eventually that was not enough to knock me out and I worked up the alcohol list. Of all the alcohol I tried, I actually miss crown royal, I loved the taste better than any other bourbon, and anything stronger (though when I was taking the stronger alcohols, I wasn't looking for taste). But I never experienced a hangover, and I don't understand why. The only pain I carry is the memory of that last year of my marriage. The worst I had was a dry tongue the next morning, and that is no worse than when I snored. When my 3 months were up, no one can believe the quanities of alcohol I was consuming at the door to achieve unconsciousness by the time I got to bed and try not to look at what my wife was doing on the computer. By every account of every person who drinks whom I have told, I should be dead, and I never experienced a hangover. Of course I joke that my migrains are actually my time-travelling hangovers from many years ago. I think I am still due a another two dozen or more.... I haven't added any missing hangovers in 16 years. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.

                                    Dilution is a must - the quantity you drink is up to you - but dilute it to saturation. Regards Nish (still very much hung over from last night) X|

No, I understand why alcohol dehydrates the human body, and I have suffered horrible migrains for years, so I expect I have some "idea" what a hangover is like, at least from the pain portion. I only drank heavily for 3 months. Four if you count I started drinking wine to relax the anxiety of having to go home each night. Yes, most assuredly there was a woman involved. After a month of trying to relax to get my mind off "things" I graduated to drinking to unconciousness. My favorite was at the beginning of that hard 3 months: drinking one pint of crown royal on the walk home, and drinking another pint at the door in one guzzle (like drinking a soda, slam it down hard). Eventually that was not enough to knock me out and I worked up the alcohol list. Of all the alcohol I tried, I actually miss crown royal, I loved the taste better than any other bourbon, and anything stronger (though when I was taking the stronger alcohols, I wasn't looking for taste). But I never experienced a hangover, and I don't understand why. The only pain I carry is the memory of that last year of my marriage. The worst I had was a dry tongue the next morning, and that is no worse than when I snored. When my 3 months were up, no one can believe the quanities of alcohol I was consuming at the door to achieve unconsciousness by the time I got to bed and try not to look at what my wife was doing on the computer. By every account of every person who drinks whom I have told, I should be dead, and I never experienced a hangover. Of course I joke that my migrains are actually my time-travelling hangovers from many years ago. I think I am still due a another two dozen or more.... I haven't added any missing hangovers in 16 years. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.

                                        Nah mate, I have had both plenty of migrains and hangovers. And the migrains are by far the worse. Note: one reason I don't drink now is because I suspect it might cause a migraine. Regardz Colin J Davies The most LinkedIn CPian (that I know of anyhow) :-)
