How did I do this in college?

I went out last night with some teachers for the last day of school and went on a 8 hour binge. Today I feel like crap. How did I do this four to five days a week in college?

I ask myself that every time I wake up hung over. It almost makes you want to quit drinking. :roll: I think I figured it out my last trip to The Keys. We drank from sun up to sun up we were getting in when I normally get up for 14 days straight. It is all about practice. Practice makes perfect, the more you do it the better you get at it. :lol: :lol:

You did it more often, so you were used to it... I can sometimes get back in the "mode" but it takes some "conditioning"

As you get older, you gotta learn to stop drinking the Cheap Cr&p. Step up to the higher quality booze, and you don't suffer so much the next day. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I hear ya...a typical week was:

Classes, Study group @ Hooters w/ oysters and alcoholic something, head to the beach for more frolicking and maybe a quick nap.... (bring a book so you'd study while you were catching rays!)

Dinner of canned tuna or whatever cooked in the toaster oven.... study for an hour or so...head out to the bars from 10p-3a...sleep for 3-4 hours and get up and do it again!


Geesh it makes me tired just typing that!!!

Oh God, the thought of a night of drinking Natty Light like we did at fraternity parties makes me want to puke.

You know you went to school in a party town when you'd schedule your classes around drink specials the night prior.

just thinking about my college days gives me a hangover...congrats on making it to another summer vacation though...thinking of that should make you feel a little bit better...better get back into the groove of things...I only have six more (working) days until my summer vacation and then I will need someone on my schedule to hang out with...and just for future reference...if you put lemon juice on your arm pits before driking, you stand a better chance of avoiding a hangover...don't ask me why, but it does work :D

That might be the oddest advice I've ever heard. I'll have to try it out tonight.

As for summer vacation, like a dummy, I signed up to be a counselor at the YMCA summer camp, so my vacation isn't a true vacation. But no more lesson plans!

I hear you Ilph- I didn't even drink much this weekend, but not making it to bed before dawn 3 days in a row is about to kill me!

In the words of the immortal Jackie Gleason, "Drinking doesn't cause hangovers, bad ice and dirty glasses do."

As I have advanced in "vintage" I have found with less practice time than in college the best advice is avoid draft beer and sweet mixed drinks.
