As you know, the slightest night out will mean that I have to literally write off the following day - I know mediastar has suggested trying milk thistle capsules before I go out, but I looked up the side affects and it says they can cause a "dicky tummy", ok, I know that not everybody will be affected but I'm pretty sure I would be as I'd only have to eat a couple of sugar free mints or a small amount of dried apricots, and I'm "an embarrassment" and I don't have a dog I can blame lol!
Friend of mine's hubby's away for the week, so she organised a small get together at her house. The plan was to meet at about 3.30 Sat, have a quick look round the shops, have a few drinks in her local, then go along to her house. I was working till 3, so planned to catch train to hers straight after work. However, knowing how I am on drink, especially on an empty stomach, I decided to go home first have a shower, change of clothes and a good meal. Told her I'd skip the town bit and get to hers around 6pm. So home I came have a spag bol (no glass of wine) some fruit and yoghurt for dessert. So what alcohol should I take...bottle of wine - No, I'd end up drinking all of it and getting the hangover from hell, alcopops? Mmm maybe but again too easy to quaff and would have to buy a fair old few to last the evening. So I thought Ok, I'll take a quarter bottle of gin and a couple of nice mixers, I won't mix my drinks, should be fine.
Got there about 6 ish and stayed till about 9.30 as they decided that we should go back into town and do karaoke, I didn't stay for that as it's not really my scene, but that was ok 'cause my mate knows I like to get home quite early anyway. I had quite a few gins and when I left there was still a bit left in the bottle, I felt merry don't get me wrong, but no way drunk. Got home by about 10.30 had no more alcohol, went to bed about 11ish watched a bit of telly. I did my usual trick of taking a putting a bottle of water and a packet of anadin on the bedside table and planned to take one if I woke in the small hours so I'd wake headache free, this is a lifesaver I'll tell you....I did this and when I woke up properly at about 8.45 I got up not feeling too bad had tea and toast, but soon realised that I felt pretty rubbish..didn't have a headache, didn't feel sick, just rough as old boots, managed to get a few bits done around the house, but spend most of the day asleep on the sofa, didn't have the energy to go out at all and felt that way until I went to bed. Woken up this morning full of the joys of spring, but It's a work day ...booo!
I don't want to stop socialising with my friends but I think I've got to the stage where Im gonna have to start taking soft drinks with me, but it's hard when you're with other people getting merry. I'm ok if I have a couple of glasses of wine at home, ok if I go to the pub quiz and have a couple of drinks, but put me in a social scene with drink - I'm almost guaranteed to feel like ***** the next day. I'd be interested in other people's experiences. thanks!
