I'm hurtin'

[Leedogg]

Had a poker night out at the boss's last night and managed to drink about 8 beers and far too much Jager. I got second place and got my $20 back, but I'm hurtin' this morning. Being sleepy at work is one thing, but being sleepy and hungover is far worse. Does anyone have any cool hangover stories? Especially one's dealing with having to be at work. :D

Oh man... I worked at a golf course during the summer when I was in high school... I worked with five other guys. 3 of them were college students (23 or 24) and the other two were my age (16 or 17 at the time). One of the older guys drove a van and he would get so wasted that he would drive his van to the golf course at 4 or 5 in the morning and pass out in the back of his van just so he wouldn't be late for work in the morning.... he usually did this about every morning... if he wasn't passed out in his van he was passed out on one of the lawn mowers or a golf cart... or just on the floor of the shop... One of the other older guys would always mow the greens... and he would be high and/or still drunk from the night before... one day I was mowing the collars/fringe and he was mowing a green and he didn't take the flag out.... well... he passed out while on the mower and his mower turned straight for the flag and he ran straight over it...... and didn't wake up. I watched the whole thing happen and I laughed the whole time... his mower slowly creeped along chewing up the flag until finally there was nothing left but shards. Meanwhile his mower heads off the green and he falls off a 4 foot sand trap lip into the sand trap.... he finally woke up. The superintendent wasn't too happy but I thought it was hilarious. Also, I was hungover there one time and I had to stop mowing so some older people could play through. Old people are slow golfers... so it took awhile... I put my head down (this was at around 6:15 in the morning) and next thing I knew the guy that ran over the flag was doing donuts with his mower around my mower.... and it was lunch time... hahaha. So yeah, that was a fun summer job.

Well, this isn't really much of a story. But the picture of me on my license is when I'm really hung over. It was the morning after the night I discovered why people use shot glasses for liquor, and not regular glasses. Why must I learn these things the hard way?

[Leedogg]

I like how the one guy would just drive to work and pass out in his van so he wouldn't be late. Brilliant!

[aschleman]

It was even more hilarious when some chick would climb out of the back and start walking up toward the clubhouse to call someone to pick her up... BRILLIANT! <------ That's what I always said too!

[Leedogg]

I don't think I'm gonna make it through today guys...

There's harsh flourescent lighting everywhere and it's piercing my brain. Everytime I try to look at something (papers, computer screen) up close I start feeling nauseous. What the hell did I do to myself!?! Why isn't this Advil working? Agghghgh

ADvil, pffssshhhh. You should try excedrin, when i'm hingover and have to go to school that works pretty good for me.

Just for kicks heres some big yellow print.

[aschleman]

That's true... Excedrin is the best. You need to drink lots and lots of Gatorade!!!! You may be hungover to the point where everything tastes and smells like beer... but trust me, you need to drink Gatorade.

[PRSplaya]

A couple of excederin and a big glass of V8 does the trick for me. Also, getting some food in your stomach might help, but nothing greesy or too spicy.

[Leedogg]

Just for kicks heres some big yellow print.


That was mean dude. I was still pretty queasy when I checked your reply and my stomach started doing somersaults when my eyes strained to distinguish the minimal contrast of those big yellow letters against the white background. It's amazing how sensitive your senses become when you're hungover. :mad: But, hey, I deserve it. :D

I never knew Excedrin came so highly recommended from so many different sources. I guess that can't be a fluke, I'll have to get a bottle next time I run out of Advil.


Anyways, I'm feeling tons better. Getting out of the office on my lunch break fixed everything. Now I'm just really sleepy, but I can deal with being sleepy.

Any more stories out there?

[Kevin Taylor]

Hair of the dog man.
Drink a beer. :cool:

[Leedogg]

Well guys, it's 4:50PM Memphis time and it looks like I made it through today after all. Aside from being a little sleepy, I feel great. I love my resilient 24-year-old body. It begs to be abused! http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cmmsdm/smilies/angry.gif

Lmfao!

I hate it when everything smells/tastes/looks like beer when you wake up "the morning after".

i have a good hangover story

it all started with and overage gig with a band im in called sirocco (check out the site www.siroccoband.com even sign are guestbook) we got to the overage gig and played it but it went horrible the crowd just were not in the mood which made us all go on the piss. i had half a pint of whiskey and then went into drink 4 cans of bulmers, i was totaled. i woke up on the floor at half seven in the moring and went to find a place to sleep. the lead guitarist of the band found me and was in just as bad a state as i was, worst of all we had a gig and 2:30.

we got are gear ready and contiued to the gig, we got breakfast and robert kiernan (the guy who hits things with sticks) puked it all up, and so we got to the gig a band called drunken lepeard played before us and got the crowd going great with all the crowd shouting "one more song" we thought we were dead but stuck it out and as soon as we hit the first note the crowd went crazy, it was the first moshpit we ever got, and probably the best experience i have had on stage ever since.


just thought i would tell that story since you asked

[PRSplaya]

Ahh, I never get tired of that story :D

[Dr_simon]

Blurggg

my turn today !!

I've had worse and will doubtless have worse again...however I ...oh pants !!

[Leedogg]

Great story LATS. I too never tire of hearing it.. Good luck with yours today Doc. You can do it, something tells me you have years of practical hangover experience :D


So I passed out at 9pm last night and slept for 10 hours. That's twice as many as I usually get. I feel great!

[PRSplaya]

Yeah, I was on the downward spiral towards having a hangover this morning, but I rememberd this thread, so I stopped just short of that, got something to eat and went to bed. Besides being groggy, I feel fine. I'll have to remember that combination. Jack and Ginger Ale, then a Tontino's pizza, then bed. At least I wasn't like this guy ---->http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/ernaehrung/food-smiley-019.gif

[Dr_simon]

Yep after last Sat I was really cunning and, having gone through far too much Guinness, poured my second whisky back in the bottle. Consequently I can just about function today though I haven't tried eating anything yet ! !!

[Hammurabi]

He poured a glass for himself and explained what the salt and the lemon wedges were for. I thought he was kidding.

What exactly were they for? :confused:

[Lordathestrings]

What exactly were they for? :confused: Wipe the lemon wedge across the skin on the back of your hand between the thumb and forefinger. Sprinkle some salt on the area you just applied lemon juice to. Hold the lemon wedge between the thumb and forefinger of the hand that has the juice and salt on it. Pick up your shot of tequila with the other hand. Lick the salt. Drink the tequila in one swallow. Suck on the lemon wedge.




Note: A a water glass full of tequila is not a standard shot. :eek:

[PRSplaya]

Aren't you supposed to use lime wedge's instead of lemon wedge's? :confused:

[Lordathestrings]

Aren't you supposed to use lime wedge's instead of lemon wedge's? :confused:Whatever works for you.

Me, I think limes are only suitable for throwing at Sasquatches. Since there don't seem to be any Sasquatches in my 'hood, I have no need to acquire any limes.

At all.

Ever.

:p

[Hammurabi]

A water glass full of tequila is not a standard shot.

How many shots is it? A dozen?

[Lordathestrings]

How many shots is it? A dozen?Six or eight, I think.

[Dr_simon]

Six or eight, I think.


sick sick man !!

Tee Hee !!

[Lordathestrings]

sick sick man !!

Tee Hee !!Sick? Such an utterly inadequate word. Not nearly capable of describing that kind of insanity, or the resulting consequences.

That was back in 1973, if I recall correctly. I haven't had more than two Sunrises at a time in about 10 years.

[Leedogg]

I like Jager Bombs!

[Lordathestrings]

Blechhh!

Cough syrup!

[Leedogg]

Licorice!!

[Lordathestrings]

Licorice!!????

You're not talking about Jaegermeister liqueur?

[Leedogg]

????

You're not talking about Jaegermeister liqueur?


Yea, that's the stuff alright. It's my liquor of choice. A Jager bomb is where you drop a shot of Jager into half a glass of Red Bull and chug it all down. It leaves you feeling energized and strong like BULL!

Baaa tequila death slides more like !! I totally get the bit about your brain freezing and leaving your body to run amok !

Last time I drank the stuff was in the form of slammers. I ended up on all fours chasing this chick round the pool table barking and trying (successfully) to bite her ass !!

I mean... "Simon scare me, I need to get rid of these hiccups". What a bloody silly thing to say to some one such as my good self. Especially after a skin full of tequila !

Then of course I met Catherine got married and all that malarky stopped !



and as for Jagermiester..... its just ****ing horrible !!

I heard that story in another thread a while ago; makes me laugh every time. :D

What did everyone say about that the morning after?

[Dr_simon]

arr nothing unusual there I think. Once again the good doctor astounds onlookers and raises the bar for everyone else !

those damn craaaazzeeyy brits !

[Akira]

those damn craaaazzeeyy brits !

Damn right. :cool:

One of the advantages of being in your 40's is that you are suppose to learn from your mistakes. This is not entirely true. I have more hangover stories than I care to mention. But one of my favorites has to be when I was stationed in Korea. I was a firefighter and we worked 24 hours on/24 hours off duty. We had a major burn one night so we ended up working, hard, the entire night. We got off duty and decided that we needed to have a 'few' to calm ourselves and celebrate the fact that no one died.

A bunch of us took a few cabs into Seoul to party up. Now if you ever get a chance to ride a cab in Seoul, do so! Bumper to bumper traffic at any time of the day or night, little old guys leading ox-carts through the city with egg cartes piled high on the back, teeming masses wandering in and out of traffic...the whole time you're rocketing through this mess at 80 mph. Oh yeah, that's fun!

Now they have a liqour there called Soju. Soju is the rice equivalant of grain alcohol. The difference is that they add Sprite and an anti-vomiting agent to it. You can slam this stuff all night and YOU WILL NOT GET SICK. For about 5 bucks, you get a brass tea kettle filled with this and some shot glasses with little bull frogs embalzened on the front. We sat there, three of us, and went through at least 4 kettles of this. As long as you were sitting down and drinking, no problem. Once you stand up...well, different story. I remember feeling like someone hit me in the back of the head with a ball bat and that was that.

12 hours later, I woke up in brothel in Seoul wearing a t-shirt and socks and praying for death. I have no idea what happened in those missing twelve hours but when I finally got back to the base and hooked up with my buds, it became clear that we did some things that none of us would ever tell the folks back home.

I didn't drink again for three months after that and I still have the tattoo from that night! :)

[Dr_simon]

Hunter60, I doff my cap mate....outstanding !

[Lordathestrings]

One of the advantages of being in your 40's is that you are supposed to learn from your mistakes... Ah, grasshopper...

Wisdom may be seen as a combination of clear thought and good judgement. This comes as a result of accumulated experience.

Experience is often the result of the absence of clear thought or good judgement!

You seem to have accumulated much experience. :cool:

Yes indeed, I have accumulated much experience and it appears that my level of accumulation only increases with age! Ah well, as a dear friend of mine says 'That which does not kill you makes for a damn fine story...'

:cool:

And thanks for the props, Doc!

Now that's a kickass story!

[Dr_simon]

Id expect nothing less from someone using a quote from no other than the great Dr Gonzo !

HST was one of my faves also !!! Did you see the Terry Gilliam film of "Fear and Loathing" ? One of my all time favorite scenes is Johnny Depp waking up in a totally distorted hotel room warring a tape-recorder, a pare of fishing waders and a great big rubber lizards tail. I was a little hung-over and feeling very sorry for my self first time I saw it. Made me feel much better !!

[hunter60]

I have been a huge fan of the good doc for many years. I can remember reading his political coverage in Rolling Stone when I was in high school and being blown away by it. And Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was one of the very first books that I read that really turned me on to the power of the written word. It's a howl.

I did really enjoy Gilliams film and I recall the scene you're talking about. When I first saw that scene, I thought "Oh yeah, been there...." There was a film done years ago starring Bill Murray called 'Where the buffalo roam (title song by Neil Young of all people)' which was not great. There are a few scenes in there that are worth it. Peter Boyle played the Attorney Oscar Acosta. Very funny stuff. I recommend watching that one.

I have every book HST has written and still go back and read through them once in a while just to make myself laugh.

It was a seriously sad day in June when the word came out that the doc decided to cash in.

And you know his most famous quote? "I would never recommend, alcohol, drugs and violence to anyone, but they've always worked for me..."

:D
