    Sorry but I couldn't do drugs, not with all the horror stories floating about. And you really shouldn't promote it :/ it's still an illegal drug :/
    Promote it? I merely stated my experience.

    You sound very naive about drugs. Yes, drugs can potentially be very destructive only when the person chooses to let them be. You must have seen a night out/party where people are spewing their guts up, passing out etc; why is that seen as acceptable?

    Life is about moderation.

    this happens to me at times. Drink plenty of water afterwards, 3 cup fulls. It will expedite the process (you becoming less emotional).

    It works for me!

    yeah you are right, i've been brought up in a family full of medics and nurses and so I guess the fear is just natural to me.

    This happens to me quite a lot, regardless of how much I eat/drink water after I've drank. I miss being younger and not getting hangovers. You could try drinking less alcohol?

    In the morning, I tend to have a good cup of tea and bowl of soup (I can't eat anything solid after a night out because I get really sensitive teeth - does anyone else get this? Sometimes it's lasts for a few days), and watch a TV series I really like.

    All the people I know that have had the wildest times and done the most awesome, unexpected things, they have completely the opposite attitude to this. It comes with a risk, obviously, but you casn't just say 'life is about moderation' because it simply isn't true.

    What kind of a life.

    You have a very good point. I would probably say that life is about moderation when it comes to drink/drugs, I landed myself in hospital from my drinking last year and it changed my view.

    On the other hand I'm a very keen cyclist which I definitely try and push to as far as I can go. The same with my studying last year, I tend to do things to the extreme. I think I would prefer to say that life is about balance then!

    Just got in from a house party. Didn't drink too much, controlled myself and i'm feeling good right now
    I just hope don't feel crap in the morning especially with work at 9

    but yeah, a successful night (i think)

    Yes OP and it was often accompanied with a horrific hangover to boot. However, I don't drink anymore unless it's a family occasion.
    i never get drinking with my family :P , with my mates i enjoy it, but with my family i cant bear ir

    sorry, i just saw the big contrast :P

    something that helps me a little OP is to drink like, 1/2 pint of water - a pint of water before bedtime and it just helps mei n the morning

    also, going back to sleep when im bound to wake up early and sleeping in my own bed too
