      Yeah, it's really harsh. I liken it to one of those "passport" car purchase things.

      You get: -

      i) an initial deposit (the night before mini headache, taster of things to come)

      ii) a bunch of direct debits (numerous nightly / early morning trips to the toilet to pee or hurl depending upon severity)

      iii) final "bubble" payment (big hurl / monster hangover following day)

      Alternatively, I get the Boomerang hangover. I drink a load and wake up feeling only mildly fuzzy; this clears by midday. I spend the rest of the day thinking "Wow, how did I get away with that?". The aforementioned Boomerang then returns with a vengeance late afternoon and knocks seven shades of sh1t out of me.

          The older you get, the worse they get and the less it takes to induce them.
          Really? I find the opposite. They do say that you tolerate alcohol more and more until your liver starts to fail and then the process goes into reverse. Not quite there yet obviously.
