I never have hangovers
Not since college days
A good friend introduced me to drinking water while I sleep and regardless of whether I have any or not, I finish atleast a liters worth of water by the time it's morning so yeah, I don't really know what they feel like anymore. No headaches, no cotton mouth, no nothing. Sorry

Let's go for a beer. I'll make sure you're hungover.

Drinking what while you sleep? How does that work then?

I'm imagining some kind of hamster cage water bottle setup...

It might indeed help you with the headache in the morning but you'd face the problem of getting up at 4 am to take a piss and never be able to go back to sleep ( happens every time I drink more than 4 ) .

It definitely gets harder as I get older. Now if I have a brunch and drinks afterwards I try and stay awake and eat plus drink a load of water before going to bed. Brufen tablets plus water for the headaches but the next morning is still slow going.

I never drink during the week and have cut back at weekends due to training commitments . The hangovers are not great though i must say , they definitely get a lot harder as you clock up the years.

When i'm out though I'm " Out Out " , there's no half measures for me , i don't see the point in having two pints ,I'm staring down the barrel of eight plus .

I was remember the advice of my first ever seasoned Irish General Foreman who used to utter the simple words of " Don't be a man at night and a boy in the morning !!!"

Wise words indeed

Golf normally helps clear mine to a large extent. But if midweek with work the next day I generally just tackle it head on and accept that I've earned it, deserve it and should revel in it's hatred.

Brufen is a very good shout though, along with some food and water the night before can help massively.

Everything about you screams out the number 2

2 pints and your wasted
2 minutes and your finished
2 slaps and your on the deck begging for your mum

(I will wait for the 'my mum'' comment)

Predictable prat
