In the other thread a writer in the Witchita Eagle says that absinthe has the worst hangovers of all drinks.

Is this your experience?

Not mine - I've never had an absinthe hangover, but I feel I could if I forgot to drink water before going to sleep after an absinthe event - that's my hangover-prevention cure.

I'm also more liekly to get hungover from sweet drinks - those with more sugar than the 5-gram cube I use per serving.

It's Wichita, not Witchita. I've never seen any Witches there, but have seen a couple of Which's, so maybe they should change it to Whichita. And no, he doesn't know what he is talking about, even if there was truth in what he said.

That being said, I've been hung-over with everything I've drank, ever, unless I didn't drink enough to get drunk, which is just stupid. Different drinks cause different hangovers, and absinthe is a nice sleep-all-day no-headache but possibly still a little drunk 48 hours later hangover when drunk in large quantities by me. Personally can function better with a beer-bender, but the headache sucks. Not as nice as a baby calf will, though. Now I can see who all read this to the end.

fucking balz™

Those of us who are snickering did.

I can't read... oh, wait.
If I close one eye it all becomes clear.

You're trying to prove that some things cause hangovers more efficiently than alcohol, right?

(and I, too, read all the way through)

I've always had my worst hangovers from something with anise in it. That's in an entirely different league than anything else.

That had mostly been pastis or ouzo, however. If I washed down shitloads of absinthe the same way I've washed down shitloads of crappy ouzo - well, the results would probably be equally disastrous, but the experience before that a great deal more pleasant.

I tend, however, to drink absinthe slower. Not just washing it down; price and taste being the reasons.

It's possible that the Ouzo and Pastis that you are drinking contain a dirty base alcohol and it's just coincidence that they both contain Anise. Or you could be allergic to Anise. In that case, please stop drinking it and turn your supply over to Hartsmear.

I thought his name was Fartsmore...

But that's probably projection, because I'm old.

I had a two-day hangover from LCLF . . . but no hangovers from LF05.

I've only rarely had hangovers from absinthe, but when I break the golden rule ("Never mix, never worry"), and drink other liquor after absinthe . . . OW. YUCK.

I didn't have any hangovers from LF05 either.

I always knew that Tucson felt a little out-of-step with the times,
but I always imagined it was in the other direction.

We're drinking in the world of tomorrow!

I'm workig on a hangover, but it isn't working.

Um . . . Oops.

Yes, it's 2005 in Tucson. We already know who won the election AND the Super Bowl!

So, do I need to move out of the country?
Share please...

I'm still here!

It was REALLY close, though. Be sure to vote.

Ok, 10¢ vert (kindof swampy), IPA, Don De Dieu, Wee mild, ... I'm finally starting to get a buzxzz....

Three glasses of Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe and way beyond a buzz.
I'm drunk.

I only hope Dinky shows up soon so I won't feel so conspicuous.

Hope ya don't get a hangover.

How did this become Tippin & Typin, anyway?

I think I'll have another Wee Mild and call it a anight.

Once a king , always a king, But once a night is enough.

Trainer, we get off topic often.
So kiss my alabaster white booty, sweet cheeks!

ARRRRRRRRR, ALABASTER PYRATE TREASURE!

Me! Me! Please?

Because you wan't to, you probably aren't allowed.

Damn Catch-22!

I so love coming in here after a few days of being away, and reading the last few things I wrote before I passed out on the floor next to my computer chair.

I enjoyed them, too, shug.
Good to have you back.

Yeah.

Um...

Absinthe can make you do stupid things... just like any other alcohol.

I felt like a stroke victim all day Saturday.
Just starting to feel normal again this evening.

That's a new thing for you, no?

We've all been there.

I'm glad to hear you're doing better Abby!

Feeling normal, or feeling like a stroke victim?

Stroke victim--this would be the second time.
Normal--you raise a fine point.

And thanks, David.
It's been a weird weekend.
But a good and cathartic one, I think.

God help SB, who was the last person to speak to me late Friday night.

Hey! Now there's something...

Can you give a brief transcript???

Um, no.
I remember spilling some beans.
I remember political discussions.
And I may have passed out mid-conversation.

Which would only serve him right as he's done that to me before.

I kinda miss doing that myself.

Naah -- I'm sure some of your posts are written while you're passed out and sleeptyping.

But you can't trip ballz with those "other" alcohols.

Dude, those things work. I've used them and they work. I think. Either that or I want them to work so much that they work. Either way, they work.

I was passing those out like candy at LF04,
It's made of vitamin Bs , sodium bicarb and aspirin ,
they work pretty well.

can anybody else from lf04 comment on how well they worked?

Didn't try any,
I found a couple beers at wake-up time
to be quite sufficient.

I just remember a bucket of pills sitting on the Mayor's bar.
I had no idea that's what they were or I might have tried one.

One got lodged in my throat while I was puking it back up.

I missed those pills, but had the jumbo bottle of Ibuprofen I was handing out to interested parties. Three of those and a big cup of water also does wonders.
