When you have beer everything is a joke you can turn into a debate. Or a debate you can turn into a joke.
The skybird is the limit:rotfl:

It's OK, I just popped the top on my Johnny Walker Blue...Cheers!

Cheers man! :up:

Don't drink n' post! :up:

Ouch! That was a bad night. My head hurts and I am a bit hung over. To much Johnny W. The smoothest scotch I have found (Blue label). I had a crazy dream though. I was banging Sarah Palin in the White house and in the dream I was not me, I was Clinton (figures). The worse part though is that i was not Bill, but Hillary...I need an Alka Seltzer...:nope:

My head is fine. :p Don't drink too much of that stuff. Weird dreams apparently are the result. Probably spiked with something.

PS. The cheaper your alcohol, the worse your headache. General rule that. Probably because its less pure.

Also, after year of careful experimentation I have found: The darker the spirit the worse the hangover. This is why Woods 100 navy rum (100% proof = 50% ABV)gives me a stinking hangover that feels like the world is ending, as it is almost black and tastes like you are drinking molasses, but in a good way; although putting a large dent in a bottle of clear butterscotch schnapps (only 35-40%) gives me almost no hangover.

The reason for this is:

This is due to chemicals called congeners which include complex organic molecules such as polyphenols, other alcohols such as methanol, and histamine. They are produced along with ethanol during fermentation or the drinks ageing process. Congeners are believed to contribute to the intoxiating effect of drink, and the subsequent hangover. People who drink pure ethanol-based alcohols such as vodka have been shown to suffer fewer hangover symptoms than those who drink darker beverages such as whisky, brandy and red wine, all of which have a much higher congener content. The congener denounced as the main hangover culprit is methanol. Humans metabolise methanol in a similar way to ethanol but the end product is different. Ethanol generates acyetaldehyde, but when methanol is broken down a major product is formaldehyde, which is more toxic than acetaldehyde and can cause blindness or death in high concentrations. Ethanol inhibits the production of methanol, which may be why drinking 'hair of the dog' can alleviate hangover symptoms. Studies have found that the severities of different drinks' hangover symptoms decline in this order: brandy, red wine, rum, whisky, white wine, gin, vodka, pure ethanol.

Thank god for New Scientist to provide information.

Ps.

It has taken me over half an hour to type this and amend spelling errors due to being under the influence.

Time for another beer.:()1:

Now explain this - Good red wine never gives a hangover either?

And I like Dark beer, which also if a good beer, doesn't give a hangover either???

-S

Can't. Sorry. I've always found wine and strong beer to give me a headache. Maybe you have a higher tolerance than me?

Heres raising a glass to you.:up:

Must edumacate you if you ever make it to the PNW! I'll get you tanked and you will feel fine in the morning! It will all be in the name of research of course! :p :D

-S

Sounds like fun research!

Sorry if I'm being a bit slow but whats the PNW?

Is it related to the Subsim meeting?

If so, sorry but I'll have to blow out, RL vomits in my lap once again.:nope:
