Have you ever had a hangover and your cure was to get drunk again?

No and no. I've only been the slightest bit drunk in the past.

Yes. Of course it always kind of started out as a little "hair of the dog", but then it turned into the whole dog. I don't generally get drunk any more. I enjoy a few cocktails now and then, but my consumption is moderate. The situations described above would have taken place mostly when I was in my twenties and thirties. They would also have inevitably involved one or more friends that could only reasonably be described as alcoholics. I've never been one to drink alone. In my younger days, I was much less resistant to the influence of my friends in matters like this. These days I'm quite content to keep my drinking moderate while watching my friends get completely wasted.

I've never had a hangover... but I wouldn't drink more to deal with it if I had.

No, the thought of drinking again when I have a hangover is just too much.

No. Why would I? I would be perpetually drunk.

No. My cure is drinking a lot of water/yoghurt drink + some aspirines.

Yeah. During my partying days (that makes me sound so old), there were many mornings that I woke up with a hangover and started drinking again to make the pain stop. Not the brightest idea, but it seemed so at the time.

No.... And that's not called a cure....that's called being an alcoholic.

I don't drink anymore; but I once had a lethally serious drink problem. Towards the end of my drinking days I no longer suffered from hangovers in the strict sense, which is to say, I no longer suffered from headaches, or nausea, even after having drunk heavily for days on end...but I certainly very often used to get drunk again, no matter how I felt. Now I can no longer drink alcohol, my metabolism won't permit it, so there's a moral in there somewhere...

No. I've been drunk perhaps twice in my life. I

I have been tipsy on occasion, and I find drinking lots of water helps...also I've taken a B vitamin, which seems to help me. I eat before I drink. I rarely drink, that is until lately. My niece has board and card game parties every two weeks, and she makes a fantastic margarita. I have maybe two during the evening....I drink lots of water before the evening is over .

No

I'm not an alcoholic.

I'm not much of a drinker.

No, but I don't get hangovers.

No.

No because I don't drink..that..and it doesn't work!!!

No, that is the furthest thing from my mind

No, no, my system just can't take that.

YES! worst drunk, bad decision, but I do believe it helped my hangover. Camping with strangers, one was an obnoxious ass. I was getting drunk to drown him out, but he got drunker and louder. The next pathetic morning, I was throwing up and they convinced me that drinking that same rot gut whiskey would make me feel better. Maybe it did, but I was pathetic and sorry. I had to call my boyfriend (who does not drink and did not know where I was) and tell him to come to this campground and pick me up and give my sorry ass a ride home. He never said a word. He was kinda sweet like that.
When I was younger, it helped many times...Hair of the Dog. But severly over doing it, it could be a bad thing.

That is one rockin' bike Dude!! Banana seat! What did we call those handle bars? Did you have a playing or trading card rattling in the spoke? And where is the 7 foot flag that goes on the back so cars see you from the other side of the hedge?

GET OUT OF MY MIND!!!!

Banana seat ... I can't remember what they call the handle bars either, but they were cool! I did have one of those 500ft florescent poles with a flag on the back of my bike, later! Hated them!!! Playing card on the spokes was essential too!

But, also, check out what I was wearing! ... it's a little hard to see, but, plaid pants and a white belt. Here's a closer-up image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/billmarrs/252729911/

I miss the 70s sometimes...

I do to miss those funky styles. I had the verticle striped pants, multi colored at that age. I loved them, I don't know what happened to the pictures of me.
I don't remember having a belt, till '75ish when I was going into high school. Than it had m. leafs on it in hand tooled leather.
I think the cops in town all had a scared into doing the flag poles whipping in the wind, but the cards distracted from it. Did you know 'the kid' who had to have the most cards on his spokes? What a dork. (you weren't that kid were you? *)
And if I want to get in your head...I will.

Uhm.....perhaps..

I thought everybody had

No.

Ah, the old hair of the dog that bit you approach...

But no, as I've never been drunk.

Yes---almost a daily thing in the late 70s. Now I don't drink much because it can reduce the effectiveness of some medicines I take.

You're kinda harsh with the word, aren't you?

Just sharing my opinion.... and why beat around the bush...

Because there is a set criteria for a diagnoses of 'alcohol dependence'. What you said was true....but several other factors have to be taking place, as well.

I suppose you're right.

Well, I wouldn't say I got drunk but hair of the dog did help!
