Wobbling your drunken ass is a style of dancing...
In belgium everyone can dance, if you learn those few steps and prance around like an idiot.
EDIT: even epileptics can dance in france.

TA said it best to cure hangovers. Drink lots and lots of water before you go to bed. And TheDeath, drinking is, for me, just a way to get more social and loosen up and have a bit more fun. Have you ever tried it at all or are you just saying these things with no experience whatsoever?
As for me, I like drinking cold cold beer or Vodka + Coke. And I don't like going to massive parties. Usually when I drink it's with a few of my mates and we might go down to the pub and play a few games of pool or snooker and drink and just have fun. It's usually a good night out.

Best hangover prevention is to drink like 200 gallons of water (or as much as you can before you, like, you know, throw up) before you go to bed.
Best hangover prevention is to not drink yourself into a stupor. It's also one of the best ways to avoid getting in a car accident, one of the best ways to avoid unwanted pregnancy, and one of the best ways to avoid making a total ass of yourself in front of a large group of people that you have to interact with the next day as if nothing happened.

See, I never understood why ingesting so much foul tasting poison that you lose all control over your physical and mental functions, only to spend the entire next day vomiting and sitting on a couch with a volcanic headache and a horrible taste in your mouth, "enjoying your life". As I said: not worth it. If you've got to be wasted at a social get-together in order to enjoy it, then I'd rather just go somewhere else where I get to, you know, actually talk to people without my words coming out sounding like I accidentally impaled my tongue on a syringe filled with lidocaine.
But that's just me.

I have the addictive personality type. I have no self-control and moderation isn't in my vocabulary. The day I get drunk is the day I become an alcoholic. And I wouldn't be a fun alcoholic, either. I'd be that guy in the corner trying to see which he can do faster: gain fluids by drinking or lose them by crying.

Well I guess I'm lucky then because when I get drunk, I still have self control although I'm stumbling around the place, I still know what I'm doing and can make rational decisions unlike what most other may be able to do when they are drunk.

Also I agree with what Corribus said.
Quote:

Let me ask you something, because I clearly know this is a favorite argument not just here but anywhere where people don't want to come up with something else.
Does it matter?
No really. Answer that.
If I say yes, what will you do? Will it change anything, this thread, or your question?
If I say no, similarly, what will happen? What do you expect, to be more precise, out of it?
*sigh* to answer the pointless question. No, I don't do drugs. Yes, I had drunk mates (especially in high school). Yes I know the "social implications of it". No, I do not think that trying drugs for yourself is necessary for me to speak out against it -- or else, go and condemn everyone who is against drugs and hasn't been a junkie before, after all, didn't have the experience right?
I should add, at least from personal experience, that trying to burn oneself was considered social and cool here, again at least what I experienced with a classmate. So no, obviously, I shouldn't say anything about it -- and if he burnt (he didn't for some reason), no way to call the ambulance... he's just having some fun. What do I know anyway?

That's what everyone says right before they get behind the wheel of a car. "Oh, I'm fine, don't worry. I'm in control."
And then, Crash...

Yes it does matter because it gives your argument more merit imo.
And Corribus, like I said, I have self control enough not to get into a car and drive. And that's why I stay at friends houses and not go to clubs or whatever. I just stay the night and get picked up the next morning (cos I can't drive).
Of course, not everybody is like me and will have enough self control to say no to driving when drunk, which is sad.

How many times have you gone drinking? How many times have you gotten drunk? From what you've told me, it's not been many times. You've just scratched the surface with alcohol, and you're already assuming that you possess more self control than your average drunk. Now, I'm no expert on alcohol consumption and I've never had a drink myself, but it just seems foolish to jump to conclusions so quickly like that. It's easy for a person to fall into that trap where you think you're more resistant or unsusceptible than you really are, merely because you've been lucky and nothing bad has happened yet. You're still a newcomer to the game, and the worst case scenario is that such assumptions may only be a false sense of security. Alcohol is alcohol.

Actually, from personal experience I can tell you that there is a level of drunkenness where you actually think you are clear enough to balance near abysses and such.
This depends not only on how much you drink, but how fast or slow as well. I did drive at one of those opportunities, like, "What the Hell", and when I woke up the next day and remembered the drive - that led over a highway part - it scared the living crap out of me.
I agree with what Corribus wrote. Except with his choice of beverages. Bourbon sucks, at least compared to the Highland Malts, and "a good beer" is like saying "a piece of meat" when you talk about food. There is beer and there is beer.
Personally I prefer wine and sparkling wine, but if it's really warm, there's indeed not much that comes close to a really cold beer.
For spirits, I'm the Vodka type as well, but Smirnoff is too bland. If you really LIKE Vodka and are prepared to pay more, you'll have to try LEVEL which is a special branch of the Swedish Absolut branch. Ok, that stuff is expensive, but it tastes like nothing you ever tried for Vodka.
3 rules for avoiding hangovers:
1) Don't mix things that don't mix. Never drink beer AFTER you had wine oder sparkling wine. Never mix brown spirits with white ones (except Tequila), but never mix Tequila with any other spirit. Never mix sugared stuff with anything else.
2) Don't do other drugs while drinking. Don't smoke, no cigarettes, no nothing, don't take other pills or stuff. I know, for the smoker this is impossible, but still...
3) Drink SLOWLY (give the alcohol the time to register in your brain); if you drink too fast, when you think, it's time to stop now, it's too late. That's why you should be EXTREMELY careful with everything that tastes like there was no alcohol in it.
When I was young, to avoid a hangover we used to take an Alka Seltzer and an Aspirin or two before going to bed, if we know it might have been one of these evenings.
Now the trouble is, that most of the time when there is hangover alarm you won't really think about it or even manage to do it.
So what can you do if you have a hangover? Turkish Sauna is great, you know, the steam one. It's not as hot, and you can sweat it all out. Exercise helps as well, a walk.
Some say that starting with the same stuff that you ended with helps as well. While that is true, it will have the side effect of making you drunk again which is no help in the long run.

Hangovers come from different things. First of all, Alcohol is a poison to the body, so don't overdo it. Secondly, too much Alcohol in the body disturbs the fluid and salt balance, therefore you need to restore both before going to bed.
A real good way to avoid hangovers is to stop drinking (alkohol) about an hour before you go to bed, so you sober up by some degree, and drink a lot of water (preferably half a litre if possible) before going to bed, and eat something salty. It does not have to be greasy like french fries or McDonalds junk btw.
Also, different kinds of drinks contain different flavors that are toxants to the body. Red wine is about the worst to create hangovers, while strong drinks (Vodka in particular, but also Gin and Rum) should be the least bad. Mixing different kinds of drinks (like wine, beer and strong drinks) causes unfortunate surrogate effects, just like smoking will cause increased effects of some toxants.
