If drinking is a necessity at certain functions, you can try to fake it. Of course, if people are pouring shots for you, you might just have to take it, but you can certainly fake the beer drinking. [/quote]
Actually, shots were the easiest to avoid — you “shoot the shot” — swig it in your mouth, then follow with a beer chaser — whereupon you spit the alcohol into the beer bottle, then go pour out the beer.
(I learned this from Pat Green, a country singer.)
The think that killed me was the wait staff — if your drink was empty or close to it, a new one was put in your hand.[/quote]
Still bummed pat green sold out.
FTR, general comment, you will not out drink cajuns, I don’t care who you are.

While Canadian beer is something special, those swamp people grow up drinking whiskey in their milk bottles to be “sleepy” when they cry. I’m just not sure they compare.
My tried and true though I’ve pretty much given up drinking was always Alka Seltzer cold and flu…a particularly bad hangover you could throw in a tramadol as well.

Try growing up in N. Ireland… My mother was drinking Guinness while I was on my way out…

The secret is raccoon casserole with squirrel gravy.
general rule: being hungover all comes down to hydration. stay as hydrated as possible and you won’t be hungover.
it’s really sad that people have to ‘fake drink’. Don’t know how to speak up for yourself and say no thanks? Not that I would ever turn down a beer though.

Went to a business party for midstream guys (oil stuff). Like all oilfield get togethers, this necessitated drinking, which I generally avoid. (As in, some cajun was giving shots from a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue label.)
Had the hangover from hell this AM.
Well, it went away with 2 asprin, a bottle of Brain Candy, and a bottle of water.
Not sure this was intended use of Brain Candy, but it certainly works. Fully functional in about 30 minutes, and not as nasty acidic on a sour stomach like coffee.[/quote]
I never have hangovers. I feel more refreshed the day after when I drink as many as 10 shots of hard liquor. Lucky me

I find that after drinking hard liquor, the next morning if I watch something sentimental I get teary-eyed more easily.
Well, I guess that makes sense as it’s just leftover booze in my system…and look how booze makes you sing old country music lyrics and watch damned Church of Latter Day Saints commercials.
