Of the last five times I've been out on the lash, twice I've been violently ill the next day, and at the weekend I nearly spewed but managed not to. I also get the most unreal fucking headaches having traditionally never had hangovers at all until a few years ago. At the weekend I only had about five beers but felt like shit the next day. The other nights before I've been sick I've had the same to drink as my mates, and they've been up making bacon butties the next day while I've been spewing up anything I sink, be it water, a biscuit, until eventually I'm spewing up Tooms from the X Files. (often I'll have food after beer, and digest it in the night to the point where what I'm throwing up in the morning is just water). I'll have plenty of water before I get my head down and throughout the night but it makes no difference to my intense headaches. I'm 31. I'll have an average of two-three beers a week and go on a 'bender' probably once a month. I used to do it probably once a week or once a fortnight at least, but very rarely drank in the week. Is this a case of age catching up with me? Is it because - as a mate in work reckons - that I don't drink as much these days and so can't deal with the effects (this makes sense to a degree, as when you g o out around christmas it's full of the married office party mob spewing their rings up at 7pm), but saying that most of my mates don't drink as much now, and they seem okay. Or, have I done some damage?
