Edit: I remember that chocolate game. I played it at a children's party when I was five. Never got to eat any of the chocolate, though.

I thought I wasn't going to either, but they left the hacked up shards behind at the house Also after a few sixes where I'd only managed to get gloves on before someone else rolled a six, I finally had a breakthrough and triumphantly hacked a massive lump off

If you eat it after the game has finished, it doesn't count.

It all turns back into ordinary milk chocolate. Oh well

I've never had a hang over, no matter how much I've drank. I momentously annoyed some of my flatmates during our first term together; we had a "get together and get to know each other drink" and I drank tremendously, frankly it was only thanks to one or two of our friends that we could be kept in drink. I was up and about at 8am the next day fine.

I believe it will be this way forever. I defy god to change my constitution.

I was the same until I hit 25. It was like somebody flipped a switch. I always got away with drinking insane amounts of alcohol without any ill effects, and now just a glass of wine can make me wake up with a headache. So yeh, that's just how it goes.
Fortunately my tolerance remains in tact.

I had my first awful hangover (as opposed to the alcohol poisoning I dallied with in my youth) when I drank after handing in my MA dissertation. I probably deserved it after the amount I drank but good God, I felt like death.

Yeh, it also started on my MPhil for me, or at the start of it.

Usually drinking gallons of water before bed prevents the worst, but it didn't work last night Clearly amount is unrelated. I had two glasses of champagne, two cocktails and a ginger beer, and I didn't even feel tipsy at the end of that! However we had just done an 8 mile walk. I don't think I drank enough water on it. And I had a slight headache and a cold before we started drinking.

I'm only now beginning to emerge from one of the most wicked hangovers of my life I don't know what they put into that strange cocktail I had at the first bar, but I'm pretty sure it must have been responsible.

Anyway, I had an amazing hen party this weekend! .....

sounds awesome!

I don't drink champagne now after that incident. I was on Kir Royales and I didn't wake up the next day until 2pm after going to bed about 1am. I then spent the rest of the day in my pyjamas trying to avoid light, sound and human contact.

Interesting I wish I knew more about which drinks to avoid/not mix. I've got the 'don't drink beer/cider with anything else', but that's about it.

My one and only hangover was from our end of BA dinner. I didn't even drink that much but my god I felt unwell in the morning. I had to work that afternoon and all I can remember is using the till to prop myself up with my half closed eyes as was too wobbly on my own. My poor poor head.

PRSOM for your post about your hen night, Craggy. SO pleased that you had a great time and that the weather held out! It held out over in Oxford too for my graduation

Ahh the dressing up chocolate game...a Becca's family birthday party staple from my youth

Sounds awesome, Crags. Ignore my post in the other thread about it! So glad it worked out for you.

Were you forced into wearing a sash/embarrassing outfit? My worst nightmare tbh.

Nah, I think a lot of my friends are a bit geeky like me and none of us were really into that sort of thing. We passed another hen party and I was trying not to
