    Are you actually claiming that drinking "real" cider is attractive to the ladies???? :shock:

    Doesn't "real" cider just give you red cheeks and the squits?

    wipes coffee from monitor.......thank for that..... :D

    true though....and real ales too....but only if you talk a lot about which breweries they come from and why the production methods are more benficcial to the local community blahblahblah ladies all walk away etc..... :D:D

    I like to have a couple of clear spirits either vodka, bacardi, or gin with tonic water..... no hangovers.

    The other thing that makes hangovers worse is smoking....that is one thing I noticed a huge difference when i stopped.

    These days I like to get up nice an early...greasy breakfast and irn bru. do something outside.....the colder the weather the better.

    Only real solution is to sit 'em out, I'm afraid. When I was at college, four pints used to do for me, although I have to say that I didn't tend to get hangovers from that - just too p****ed to carry on drinking.

    Nowadays, I find that the older I get the worse the hangover. I've cut down a lot recently, so now I find I'm back at the 'four pints does for me' level. Only difference now is that four pints will not only get me to the point where I can't really drink any more, it'll also pretty much guarantee an absolutely vile hangover. If I'm lucky, drinking a pint of water, plus a couple of paracetamol and an antacid before I go to bed will fend off the worst. But generally speaking, by the time the headache starts, it's too late!

    But six pints of strongbow is a relatively acceptable tally for a night. I wouldn't aspire to drink more if I were you. And a trick I've learned is to look for the 3.5% stuff on the real-ale pumps. You can pack a lot more of that away than the 5% stuff you tend to end up drinking if you go for 'premium' lager or cider, and some of it's pretty good.

    I'd not say it's a hangover as such now, i've lost my appetite, I know I should eat something but I can't really stomach any food atm. Now I'm getting a headache, I'll try force water down. I have stomach acid problem though too so I wonder if strongbow made that worse, I take a tablet to stop acid from causing heartburn.

    Thats what happens when you drink crap chemical ladened shite. last time we went to a gig at the MEN all they had worth drinking was strongbow ( I normally drink real ale) God my stomach was in knots for days it really affected my acid content I had that burning indegestion type stomach pain for days.

    It also sounds like you have a mild case of alcohol poisoning as well.

    Next time drink nice real ale type stuff. No chemicals, no fizzyness. Just watch out if you trap off cos if you get lucky she'll wake up in a green hazed room the moment the quilt gets moved. Real Ale is great stuff but boy does it make you fart and smelly ones to :roll:

    Yeah, course it is, stops you looking like some sort of pasty-skinned he-she person with all the personality of a goldfish, who would rather spend Saturdays in a shopping centre rather than doing man things.

    Well I might be going out tonight with the flat mates, I might try vodka untill I get tipsy then go to orange juice for abit, but I think vodka, or perhaps alcohol is the most vile tasting thing I've ever tasted, most beers make me gag, strongbow tasted ok but I'm put off it now I really like guinness that's nice stuff I think.

    I don't like to drink for the sole purpose of getting drunk, I think that's kind of silly.

    Will - again, get some top quality vodka. None of this £7 a bottle crap.

    Seriously, the more you spend on alcohol, the less it will affect you.

    Or then again, you could just say that you don't enjoy getting drunk, therefore you won't.

    You have what is commonly known as "beer cancer".

    A hangover that lasts so long you are concerned that you are genuinely ill.

    I think the reason I was so ill was cause strongbow as most people say is crap, we went to this club thing in Manchester called satans hollow last night, it was awesome, I thought it'd all be screamer music, but they had like 80's music and some recent music on too, I was not amused when girls aloud was put on though... The bass was thumping but we went into the other room and there was loads of people head banging and stuff lol.

    I drank abit too much, I lost count out much vodka and coke I had, went to sleep at 4, woke up at 10, don't have a headache, but I fear it'll set in later, or maybe not, I'm abit wobbly but don't feelt massivly sick.
