Am wondering whether I've actually developed an intolerance to alcohol somewhere along the way.

I was out last night for a friend's leaving do and I don't recall having had much to drink, not least because I was interspersing the alcohol with mineral water, but I have a killer headache today. Am out drinking again tonight with the university crowd, but thankfully with dinner. Tomorrow am meeting some fannish friends starting off with cocktails.

I'm feeling ill already.

I shouldn't be alcohol intolerant, coming as I do from a long line of alcohol guzzling ancestors, but ow!

Not least that it's unlikely you were mixing drinks...

*hard stare* Are you calling me a liar, are you, are you huh, huh!?

*g*

no, actually I was mixing drinks, honest, guv. I don't like to drink much when I've got to work the next day so I was taking it easy. Wait until you're over thirty and you'll know exactly how I feel... But the fact that I really didn't drink much makes the headache even more depressing.

Only another ten years... That makes it sound like a long time, I'll shut up now :P

Yeah, yeah, rub it in why don't you?! :)

Before I hit thirty I never ever had a hangover. I could get completely rat-arsed at a Hall Party, or the Nottingham Beer Festival, or later at Chester College of Law and then London and I was absolutely fine the next day.

My first hangover, which was after a friend's birthday party, was a really unpleasant surprise. Just thought I'd mention this, so that you know that you've got something to look forward to...
