The Great Drinking Experiment
As previously mentioned in The Case of the Missing Hangover I have been concerned recently that I have lost my hangover. An experiment was therefore planned for tonight, Friday, where I would do everything possible to ensure I would wake up in the morning with a hangover. A ‘Please Drink Irresponsibly’ mission. This plan has been scrapped as it is now unnecessary. Last night I accidently started the experiment a night early. I met friends in town, and got slightly more drunk than I intended. By which I mean after the pub kicked us out at closing time, which may have been midnight or 1am (my memory is slightly hazy), we ended up back at my flat drinking cherry beer, watching Black Books, cooking hash browns and smoking joints until 3am or 4am. Whoopsie! But, and this is where the experiment deviated from the plan, I drank much water (and even a cup of tea!) before finally heading to bed in an attempt to be a not-really-hungover fully-functioning employee come the morning.
It is now the morning. And the result of the experiment? I refound my hangover! My internal organs are working! Whoop whoop! And the water worked as well. I’m a slightly tired, slightly headachy employee with a slightly delicate stomach who may deteriorate as the day goes on, but I am fully functioning with a minimal hangover, yet enough of a hangover to soothe my troubled mind. Yay! =)
