I'm not much of a drinker anymore at all. It takes me six months to finish a Six pack. I like an occasional mojito, but my current bottle of rum has been at my daughters house since Christmas. Today is my nieces birthday (she's married to my nephew), and they had a pig roast yesterday. I drank more last night than I have In the past twenty years combined. Had a beer, then a Mimosa, then my daughter and I were elected to make pitchers of mojitos, and of course we had to sample what we were making, right?? Then my daughter and another guest decided to make jello shots - I'm surprised I'm not in worse shape than I am!!! Last time I got drunk was probably fifteen years ago!!!! But we had so much fun. No regrets- I'll feel better soon enough!

When was the last time you all ”suffered” from a hangover?

Exand I had been married just just about 7 months we had gone to visit his parents for his mother's birthday in his hometown.  Since it was near Christmas a lot of the kids who were pursuing careers out of town were coming back to the nest for the big family Christmases and a number of the ex's school mates were in town.  After celebrating her birthday that evening with family members he and I decided to go out on the town and catch up with some of his old buddies.  One of the guys didn't believe the ex's claim that I could hold my own when it came to liquor and I was up for the challenge (Dummy).  Jack and Jose' (those who drink know who I'm talking about LOL) and then someone brought out the cigars, yes in my "wilder" days I had been known to smoke a stogie or two...so I light up right along with the boys.  Keep in mind none of these guys were with women, it was all just a bunch of mid to late twenty year old men and one very stupid female that night LOL.  But I admit I did hold my own...until we went for breakfast...soon as we walked into the restaurant and I took a whiff of the bacon and eggs frying everything came up, and it kept coming up...and up...and up...and I went back to the car and laid down.  When we got to his parents I took a blanket and a pillow into the bathroom with me LOL.  Next day and for a week following I felt like I was coming out of an ether coma.  I vowed never again and I have never since then gotten that drunk...I don't let myself get that drunk, it would probably kill me now anyways...

I haven't drank in over 21 years, but when I did drink, I didn't get drunk. My body, at the time, had the ability to drink the biggest drinker under the table and drive home in perfect shape. Seriously I could NOT get drunk, tried. Didn't work. HIGH tolerance for alcohol.

Hope you feel better soon and glad you had a good time.

I also have a high tolerance..not sure I have ever had a traditional hangover...
I like my red wine though and drink a glass or two regularly

Just wait, your days are coming LOL.  I used to drink with my dad who was an alcoholic for over 40 years.  I could go drink for drink with him when I was in my twenties, but as I neared my 30s my tolerance began to drop. After becoming a mom it dropped even farther because I hadn't been drinking on a regular basis.  I was 10 months without alcohol.  Then Lupus took over and I now get sick when I drink wine, even one glass, I get sick when I eat grape jelly or jam, I get sick when I drink grape juice or any juice containing grape juice (read labeles you'll find it in cranberry juice even apple juice!).  I have to be careful now.  sigh...ans I used to curl up with a bottle of wine all to myself...

I hope that never happens!! I buy it by the box so it's always on hand these days. I'm 40 now, and I don't drink to get drunk..I drink because I like it..lol (that is so bad!)

I use the 'excuse' that a couple here and there is good for my heart. It is...but it's a fabulous excuse. Heart disease runs in the family..and diabetes..so I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best

I have never had a hangover in my life. Even when I did drink, there were a couple of times I drank to the point of vomiting (late teens), and still no hangover. My brother gets a hangover if he drinks just one beer and tells me I am a bitch LOL

I took a nap and I feel much better!!! Not totally normal, but closer.

I think I've only ever thrown up twice from having to much. And I got wasted twice on wine. Worst hangovers ever!!!! Never again!!!!

I wonder how my niece is feeling today! Although she's still a big partier. She may feel better than I think!!!!

I never have.  Although one time I am pretty sure I was drunk. It was at Disney, and I was hot and sweaty and very thirsty.  We were having dinner at a restaurant in the Polynesian, and I ordered one of those alcoholic drinks in a pineapple, which I'd read online was a don't miss.  I sucked it right down, and woah!  I felt OK again after a meal and lots of water, but I learned my lesson about not drinking on an empty stomach.
