    Had lots of drinking experience while serving my nation. Hangovers normally only happen when drinking sweet **** or rotgut. I'm certain I'll feel fine or still drunk in the morn.

    You can take this unfortunate situation and turn it around. It's obvious you were not meant to be doing what it was you were. Take this time to find out what you really want, make a plan then go for it. In the mean time, take this time for You!

    With GM in the crapper, they're going to run the place with a skeleton crew until they're forced to close. GM is going to shut 6-700 dealerships this year, if they survive that long.

    That's awful man! What a terrible time for everyone. I don't know whether I should say have one for us, or go to bed and sleep it off because if you can drink like that then you've probably been doing it for a while.

    Take care...

    If I had a 6 pack, and then 6, or more, shots of Tequila, I would not even make it out of bed the next day.

    ND13...Take it easy buddy...Drinking only masks reality. Moderation is the key in these times. Have faith..Things will get better. It might take some time but it will get better! I wish you all the best in your job hunting!! Remember good things come to those who wait!! I guess while you are waiting you can drink in moderation...Partying effectively is the key!! Enjoy your kids too!!

    Nope, Just started drinking again. Rarely do I tie one on like that, but even after all the alcohol free years, I have a high tolerance...always did. When I used to drink regularly, last night was nothing. A six pack and 3/4 of a 750ml of tequila......average night back in the day. The good thing was I never had any issues not drinking. Alcohol was never hard for me to drop. I'm larger than most fellas, so that probably makes quite a difference with tolerance.

    The way I figure, I'm free, 41 and deserve to tie one on every now and then. Don't worry, I won't be out drinking in bars, only at home after the boys are in bed.
