Oh for the return of my youth! - In college, of course, there is drinking without consequence...

I didn't drink in college. Honest, went to a conservative, Christian school in a dry county. Actually came to terms with alcohol not being a hinderance to my faith, as well as coming to terms with my father's alcoholism and learning my own limitations. (My compulsion is sugar, not alcohol - who needs Jack Daniels when there's Mint Chocolate Chip in the freezer).

All that is to say though, that in my younger (post college days) things were a little different. I was working a campaign in 1985, we'd hit the bar after work at 6:00 and I would drive home after 8-12 beers and be back in by 8:00 a.m. the next a.m. all fresh and happy. God protected me from my stupidity.

Now, a beer and a half will put me to sleep...(I am soooo old)

God and youth lets you get away with a lot of stuff... for a time... Then he begins slowing adding pain to overindulgence.

I guess it is a good system... Old folks look silly partying all the time.

I think the Mint Chocolate Chip aggravates hangovers exponentially. (sugar does IMHO). Yeah, I miss the good old days, too.

g'nad was talking greasy food, if you eat greasy food as opposed to low fat, you'll feel better in the AM. 'Course when you're older, some things get harder, a few get easier.
