I hate alcohol

Most people hate alcohol and promise never to drink it again, the morning after.
...but they always think it's a good idea again come the evening.
haha thats true
That is pretty weak lol j/k
What kind of beer and how big were they?
mainly sunshine (a wheat beer) and they were 16oz glasses
That's not really weak Duke! Depending on the alcohol content you could have drunk at least 8 standard drinks. Depending on the time over which it is consumed that's enough to get most people plastered (myself most definitely included).
It also qualifies you as a binge drinker!
Do you know the alcohol %? So I take it you don't normally drink much?
Man you should see my father in law, he drinks like 2 six packs of 16 oz. busch on his days off.

oh its 4.8% from what i remember. and no i dont drink much. usually a beer every 2 weeks or so. hardly ever drink more than one when i go out
good thing about not needing much is that it keeps the bar tab down!
it was over the course of 4 hrs. most i had to drink in god knows when lol
I hate bars, but then again I don't like being in highly populated areas either, if I'm going to drink I prefer to drink at home or a friend's house with only a couple of people.
If I've been drinking, this is exactly what I do before I go to bed. I drink a lot of water. I don't take any Advil or Tylenol, just water. It works every time.
Lots of people say they give it up, some of us actually do. I only drink for certain occasions now, waking up in a ditch was about the most i could handle.
Not all booze has to taste like booze, Caesar/Bloody Mary is tasty(as I found out to great excess on new years eve).

lol i'm with you.
i rarely drink anymore and got absolutely hammered in Jamaica at the end of December...as in I couldn't walk or talk straight. it was terrible. A super fun time THAT night, but sleeping underneath the sink in the bathroom (one of those large counters so it wasn't tight at all so I wouldn't wake the wife and kids didn't bode so well the next day.
never again.
it's been a few years since the last one and that is it (at least for a long, long time
you're right - is it expensive (althought all inclusive at the resort), but if you look at liquor stores, I don't know how people spend that much all the time on booze. it's unreal how much it costs.
whenever the wifey gives me the gears about spending $$ on electronics, I always remind her that I don't smoke nor drink alot so that is a massive amount of savings, but the electronics or camera gear will last a long time
<shudders as he remembers drinking those mai tai's in jamaica>

The key is not to drink more than you are comfortable with. If you are starting to feel you have had too much then just switch to soft drinks towards the end of the night. This keeps you hydrated and the alcohol will start to wear off before you get to bed. This strategy always works for me, just don't let anyone try to pressure you into drinking more (not that anyone should).
No. Taken with alcohol, Advil (ibuprofen) can increase your risks of stomach bleeding, however, it's still a better option than Tylenol (acetaminophen) which, in conjunction with alcohol, can cause permanent liver damage.
Everyone says that, atleast once in their life, you will drink again, it's a given, maybe you need to learn your limits
The best cure for a hangover is kids. Up at 7-8 a.m. regardless of the weekend, and being sick isn't a good enough excuse to keep them from being loud and treating me like a jungle gym/trampoline.
Of course I'm due for a hell of a designated driver stint after doing the math and determining that over the last 5 years my wife has been pregnant or nursing for 39 out of the last 60 months...

If I had all the money so spent ... OMG. Good luck.
Rebuttal, your Honour!!!
Perhaps you had some crap beer??
Some lagers are easy to acquire a taste for, ales just take a little longer. Like Guinness.
Not a lot, at all, except you were not used to it.
Just 440ml then, not a full "English pint" (20 ozs).
A little stiffer than my Kilkenny, at 4.3%, but still not a "fortified" beer.
I would suspect you quaffed some good 151 proof Jamaican rum.
I vagely remember stumbling around the campfire in British Columbia, after a few Bacardi 151's and Pepsi.

Perhaps not.
I agree that the temptation to repeat past habits is strong, expecially in a social atmosphere, but the Mourning(sic) After remains with you, longer and longer, as you age.
The voice of experience.
I swore off liquor years ago. It punctuated a train of thought that began with, "Who replaced the hot chick I went to bed with last night with a Jocelyn Wildstein's older, uglier sister?"
Duke- maybe you should just learn not to get completely blitzed off your a** when you drink. Just a thought.
Just a thought.
"Who replaced the hot chick I went to bed with last night with a Jocelyn Wildstein's older, uglier sister?"
Thanks, now I need another drink!!!

Went to bed at 2 with a 10 and woke up at 10 with a 2, huh?

That is great! I will have to remember that..........
Don't mix your drinks.
Drink water inbetween drinks.
Ah, I remember my 21st. Got so drunk, I left a mural on the wall of the bar's restroom. I should have stayed away from the peppermint schnapz.
In fact, I should have stuck with beer, rather than go for all sorts of bar shots.
The next day was hell though.
