Seem much, MUCH worse - is it just me??

I was out yesterday watching the Toon game at the Irish Village, I managed to get bladdered drinking stella and sambucas, I was out from 4.30 til 9.30 and I could hardly see straight this morning,

and of course, no bacon sarnie to help me along on the way to work

Are they worse over here? If so why?

Madam Medusa

it'll be cos you're a LOT more dehydrated here...

I thought this was going to say they weren't as bad over here. I think the air conditioining helps plus the fact I sweat most of it out!

Am I the only one like this, reading some of the later posts!

Always extra dehydration (ac), often bad beer, not so easy/wise for post pub grub when bladdered. Having said that, Stella and Sambucas - what did you expect to happen? :-)

go to make sure you drink plenty of water during the session.
its only gonna get worse now the cool weather is starting to leave us!

Spugsy

hmmm, even in a pub with AC?

Spugsy

aye I know, I've only been out a few times over here and I've got horrendouly twatted each time, mrs spugsy hasn't been too impressed, I can tell you.

Madam Medusa

yeah, ac is very dehydrating...you should drink a lot more water over here as a matter of course...

I also find that for similar quantities of beverage, the effects are much worse here, and in other warm climates I have lived in, than compared with the UK.

I have heard talk that preservatives (formaldehyde?) are used to help keep the beverage in the heat.

I've had sunstroke the last 2 weeks I've played football, we play at 1.30 on a friday afternoon, even with 2 litres of water drank in an hour, when I get home I pretty much pass out on the sofa.

Spugsy

well the stella didn't taste like it did back home thats for sure.

no bloody wonder!!!! try at 4.30 would be easier. oh and dont be doing this in August......you'll melt

Spugsy

yeah the lads are talking about playing at 4 in future, this friday was unreal, I had to hide in the shade and almost fell asleep afterwards, as one of them says 'only mad dogs and englishmen play in this heat'.

Bit late to this....but i'm with Spugsy! So much worse! Unless tolerance has gone down because I don't drink 6 nights a week like back in the UK (although not loads each night).

After a school night Barasti session last night, I came back to find the sofa bed made up for me and have a horrible recollection of knocking on the flat above's door at 2am in boxer shorts before realising it wasn't mine (I think i had even been back in my flat before going out again). Felt horrific after that, come to think of it Sambuca was involved then too!
