At least I save my imbibing for the evening, but these days day drinking may be on the agenda.

3:30 is the new 5:00

Not a problem..

Certainly not in these times.

It’s always after 6pm somewhere in the world.

3:30 is awful early for breffast scotch, just saying.

Day drinking requires some caution, because it sucks to have a hangover at 8pm .

Volatile liquids. High vapor pressure makes it evaporate.

I have found the key to eliminating hangovers through amateur testing, and the secret is massive hydration - at least 12 oz of water per drink. OK, you may be running to the bathroom every 5-10 minutes, but it will be worth it. I first tested this out whilst on a business trip years ago when pitchers were cheap at the hotel we were staying at. We spent the evening playing pool and I found myself going through a loop of taking a shot on the table, taking a drink, and then taking a piss. It was a bit of a nuisance, but the next morning I felt absolutely fine, unlike other times when I had consumed that much alchohol.

Well, the high pressure that I’m experiencing these days is also making it disappear, although not from evaporation...

AM or PM?

Isn’t that the whole reason for hangovers, the dehydration that alcohol generally leads to?

Precisely. But when drinking nobody is smart enough to hydrate whilst drinking. The trick here is to think before you drink.

I learned from a law school classmate to put a full water bottle on my pillow before going out for the night, so that I couldn’t ignore it when I got home and would chug it before crashing. Magic.

2020 sucks and I know you are not a rookie but really?

Unless that’s a handle, I’m not impressed. Even on a weekday. It’s possible that quarantine has been bad for me.

I always drink about a quart of water before I go to bed if I’ve been drinking a lot, especially if it’s scotch . I’ve had exactly one hangover in my life (I’m 45). That was the only time I wasn’t diligent enough to make sure I did it before I fell asleep and I will never make that mistake again.

When I had that one hangover I was a little surprised to find that it’s almost exactly like what happens if I smoke a cigar that’s too full-bodied for my light-weight ass to handle . THAT I’ve done a few more times in my life , enough to have learned that I need to research a cigar before I decide to try it. Having to pull over so you can puke is not as fun as it sounds.

Not a handle, but more than I’ve consumed in ages; last year I had a beer, but that was during cancer recovery and chemo, so that has a little to do with it . I can only compare against myself, and I’m (somewhat) surprised at how quickly this bottle is disappearing.

The evening’s not over yet, so the drinking shall continue. I don’t know if I should reset the counter at midnight or at whatever time in the afternoon it is that I wake up...

I’m just kidding (and making fun of my own bad habits), didn’t mean to come off like a dick . We all gotta cope how we can!

No worries at all. I don’t give a rat’s ass how much any one else can drink or what they drink, so I don’t take offense to jokes about my choices or quantities.

I’m sure that there are plenty of people silently judging me right now for drinking an apple-flavored whiskey (they seemed to like it on the Try channel so I thought I’d give it a go), but again - don’t care. I save the 18-year old single malt and ancient bottles of Mondavi f or the special times, and drink the grocery store whiskey and two- buck Chuck for when I just need a buzz.
