AIMS: To determine the incidence and covariates of hangover following a night of moderate alcohol consumption at a targeted breath alcohol level. DESIGN: Data were combined from three randomized cross-over trials investigating the effects of heavy drinking on next-day performance. A total of 172 participants received either alcoholic beverage (mean=0.115 g% breath alcohol concentration) or placebo on one night and the other beverage a week later. The next day, participants completed a hangover scale. PARTICIPANTS: Participants were 54 professional merchant mariners attending a recertification course at Kalmar Maritime Academy (Kalmar, Sweden) and 118 university students or recent graduates recruited from greater Boston. SETTING: One trial was conducted at Kalmar Maritime Academy (Sweden); the other two were conducted at the General Clinical Research Center at Boston Medical Center. MEASUREMENTS: A nine-item scale assessed hangover. FINDINGS: Hangover was reported by 76% of participants. Neither alcoholic beverage type nor participant characteristics was associated with incidence of hangover. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings on the propensity of hangover suggest that 25-30% of drinkers may be resistant to hangover.
I surprised my friends last night by putting away four Yuenglings in about 10 minutes and being very pleasant. I really love that beer. It's pretty good and it's 4.99 for a six pack.
So, speaking of drinking, when I was in Hawaii, I met this drunken old guy. He gave me...strange advice. Such as "Listen, you really shouldn't worry about the ladies. They should be the least of your priorities...not sayin' I'm gay or anything, I was quite the whoremonger." and "Remember, this plane is the LOWEST of all of them. You need to get to a higher one, OK?"
So I have some money now and I'm thinking of giving one of my friends a list of stuff I want to try the next time we hang out, since I have pretty much zero time to go shopping for stuff between work and school. What should I have her get that I, as an inexperienced drinker, might enjoy?

Man am I gonna hit the booze hard. Starting off with a Diet coke+root beer + rum, then going for what I believe if called the Afghanistany Whore.
I would get trashed alone tonight and then say inappropriate things to people via the internet or phone but I have to be up at around 5am tomorrow
what was that terrible soda you discovered? I want to find it and trick someone into drinking it
Every night I do at least one of those things
rarely both, however
It is great and I have never gotten a hangover off of it.
Goddamn that looks like it should be good.

I can attest to this statement. and the previous one, too.
It should be good.
