I'm seriously considering extending until tomorrow.
Am I supposed to feel better yet?
Don't listen to these so called friends urging you back to the bottle to keep you 'as you are'.
Stay sober tonight c and you will rediscover that wonderful Saturday morning feeling of being energised for the weekend, devoid of that nagging, remorseful hangover.
Well quite, it is an entirely individual thing and even for a person it varies depending on intangibles such as fatigue, prior consumption of food etc.
I suppose leathered could be defined as consumption to a level where one actually feels quite bad the next day and as a result one’s body is under stress, perhaps enormous stress, to deal with and overcome the effects. Monday to Friday you force yourself to deal with it, Sunday you lie on the sofa with The Sunday Times and a six pack of McCoys crisps.
If you were doing this regularly, school nights, as your daughter at college for example, then to stop would clearly bring physical and others benefits.
If one is having 1-2 glasses of red per night then to stop would provide negligible obvious physical benefit.
But if one is having a bottle of red wine per night but feeling no ill effects in the morning?
Don't listen to these so called friends urging you back to the bottle to keep you 'as you are'.
Stay sober tonight c and you will rediscover that wonderful Saturday morning feeling of being energised for the weekend, devoid of that nagging, remorseful hangover.
I get about two hangovers a year, h Drink or no drink, I will be up at 6:30 and running by 7 tomorrow morning, like most mornings.
