I just can't *party* anymore..

[Wende]

...must be my age. I don't do good anymore. I get really sick for days on end after a good night out. I guess it all depends on what i'm consuming also, but my god, it's been 3 days now. I feel like death.

Is it my age?

[KindGeeGirl]

You need to hydrate. Of course as you get older your body isn't as cool as it used to be about just about everything. So more hydration is needed. The only time I get a hangover is when I forget to drink water. If I drink liquor (seldom) then I have to drink water AND eat. I remember when I used to drink all night, sleep a few hours, work at a bagel store in the wee hours of the morning, go to basketball practice, nap a couple of hours, drink and do it all over again :lol: OH those were the days.

[Wende]

mmmmm, Bagels

[KindGeeGirl]

mmmmm, Bagels

Jug of water with a bagel and you will be all set ;)

[Rionach aka Spec K]

I gotta be careful too. I've cut waaaaayyyy back. I find if I stick to Guinness I'm ok (provided the Guinness is good and the lines are clean). :)

[kramer]

if it makes u feel any better, wende, i have a terrible sore throat today & i've been dragging since the weekend... and i didn't even party as hard as you did!

[Wende]

My throat is completey closed up and I can't stay upright for too long. I get dizzy and need to lie down or I feel as though i'm going to throw up.

If you were to take my temperature the other night i'm sure it was close to 105, which after reading what i've read. Could be exactly what did it for me. Both this weekend AND NYE.

Remember we blamed me being super sick after NYE on Diddy? Well, I have a feeling it's another culprit. :(

Just too old for this crap I believe. Or a little too much.

[Erinisme]

okay a fever of 105 doesn't sound like a hangover, drinking might have lowered your body's defenses so you can get whatever illness is in the air.

That happens to me often.

I also find that in order to party hard I need to be in the right state of mind. Well rested, well hydradrated, and feeling wonderful!

Water is the key to no hangovers.

The healthier I eat the harder it is for me to drink. Try finding something that agrees with your system. I candle one or two mixed drinks then it's onto beer.

[Wende]

My temperature was that high during the party not after. I was not drinking. Lets just leave it at that.

[Erinisme]

i think i get it now, the only partying i do latley is drinking ;)

[HoopsTer]

The healthier I eat the harder it is for me to drink. Try finding something that agrees with your system. I candle one or two mixed drinks then it's onto beer.

This is definitely the case for me.

I still have a glass of wine on occasion, but I have no desire to really go out and get hammered anymore *shrugs*

I went out on friday, had 4 beers and a shot and was plastered. :funny1:

[Wende]

Drinking is poison to my body. Apparantly at the age of 36, everything is pure poison, no matter what form. BLECH!!!

I prefer TUrkey subs and pizza.

[HoopsTer]

i think i get it now, the only partying i do latley is drinking ;)

oh yeah, me too.

[CreekFreek]

Are you sure it's not a bug? Seems like there's something going around right now.

Hope you feel better.

After losing all the weight - I can't hang any more either. 2-3 drinks and I'm DONE :lol: Me and my b/f did some other bad stuff recently and .... let's just say .... it wasn't pretty :blush:

[TEO]

My temperature was that high during the party not after. I was not drinking. Lets just leave it at that.

Could depend on all additives and their ratios.

However, it does seem an older body takes longer to regenerate than a younger one.

[Wende]

Now I have to decide if it is/was worth it. For future occurrences. I am loving what comes with my age. I love getting older, I really really do... but I guess it just means having to make a few adjustments.

[vinandtonic]

I certainly can't party like I used to either..not that I ever do anything but drink and occasionally smoke. I've found the most important thing in either case is staying hydrated and getting enough sleep so I don't feel like crap the next day. My friends call me the water nazi b/c I am always forcing water on them at shows. :lol:

[musicmomma]

i have a long time friend here on these boards that used to water my ass every week at the wetlands. thank you twirlyjill. :crush:

[Wende]

Thats what happend. And no offense to my *friends* that were present, but my god guys, I was obviously dying on the floor and noone gave me water or suggested water. After a couple of hours a friend finally brought in a fan and put it on me.

[Wende]

I'm blaming Toddy for this one dammit!!!!

[musicmomma]

{{{{wende}}}}

[Wende]

I like your barefeety guys. :lol:

[musicmomma]

thanks, but i switched it seeing as how i won't be getting any tonight probably, lol :dunno:

[Wende]

:lol:

Cute bee

[musicmomma]

:bee:

[lost-in-boston]

I can't hang like I used to :blush:
idk what it is....I mean only during a festival can I hang all night long, and then I think its the atmosphere, but then it takes me a week to recover from said fest.

Friday, like Terra, I might have had 4-6 beers and a shot, and then we were home giggling on the couch bc Ter got the hiccups BAD :lol:
Then bed, and when she texted me to get up for breakfast at 9am I wanted to cram her blackberry up her ass. In a very loving way of course :funny1:
I was kinda shot for most of Sat, but after some coffee, ok lots of coffee and some food, then some couch time, I was almost good as new...oh and then a 3 hour nap later on when the boy came to pass out. :lol:

yeah....no, I can't hang. :blush:

[kramer]

i feel like shit today. worse than yesterday. i woke up at 5am having hot flashes and cold sweat. my throat is sooooo sore. i think we're just sick! :(

[Wende]

ahhhhhhh, that is EXACTLY what I have/had.

I feel a little better today, my throat is still sore but the hot/cold flashes have been gone for 24 hours now. You should have seen me the other night. Under the blankets shivering into a hot shower that burned my skin, back under the blanket only to be sweating. Ugh. Yea, I'm hoping that's all it was.

[kramer]

both of my bosses told me to go home. i carpool tho & i don't have my car today :(

[Wende]

If I ddin't have a doctors appt i'd come get you. Ugh. Do you want me to come get you anyway? You can come to my doctors Appt?

[Rionach aka Spec K]

a bad hangover will produce flu like symptoms - sweats, chills, etc.

[kramer]

aw, you are sweet :) nah, i'll just hang in there til it's going home time.

[Mama Kel]

Ever since I had kids, party Kelly died!:lol: I can barely hold 4 beers, wine wrecks me so I really can't drink it anymore :undecided: and forget anything else.

For me I think it's age. The hangovers are just not worth it anymore.

[Wende]

I"m finding that to be true. Although, i've never been a girl who was able to moderate.

Perhaps a little bit of moderation is in order.

I have fun maybe 4 times a year but its enough fun to kill a small horse.

[Elphaba]

i cannot party anymore either. i'm older than dirt. :lol: but the last couple times i went out i had a great time with being totally sober or very close to it. :thumbup:

[Wende]

I'm gonna slip you something at the wedding. YOu just wait.

I just scanned a picture of you the night I met you roaming around the vibes with mr. sketch master B :lol:

[Elphaba]

omg, at least i was thin then. :lol: and ok but only because it's your wedding :lol:
