Hungover people? like Gremlins apparently

So gave blood today and frankly im a little dissapointed. I was hoping to get a big rush like  a kid on candy but i just feel normal....not as hot. I guess that its io feel a little colder. Ah well
today I was thinking about the movie "gremlins". You remember that one. Weird animal called a Mogwai come to small town America and causes chaos.
See there are certain rules you have to follow for the Mogwai of teeerrrrbile things will happen, they are
1.Dont expose them to bright lights, especially sunlight it will kill them.
2.Dont get them wet
3. Dont, no matter how my they cry, how much they beg, DONT feed them after midnight

And you know what I was thinking? That the rules for gremlins are the self same rules that apply to people with hangovers, its true.

1. Dont expose them to bright lights. Have you ever gone down to the shop the day after the night before? The light is like daggers in your brain. Sunglasses dont help because although they reduce the glare they make you look like a tit in mid winter. Especially sunlight, now being in your room is bad enough when the lights are on but sunlight? shudder
2. Dont get them wet. Nothing in this world makes someone look more pathetic than someone in a hangover in the rain. Seriously they look like there homeless. The sunken eyes, the pleading expression that says "i need a cheeseburger" its all there. Plus ever tried to take a shower or bath hungover? The heat, the damp, the room spinning round and round and with every breath you feel more and more sick.
3.Dont, no matter how my they cry, how much they beg, DONT feed them after midnight. Now im sure your like me. Nothing makes you feel a little better when drinking than some big greasy meal. "Tha's beter" you say "Soaks up the booze...hic...ken"
It doesn't. Studies have shown that piling a cheap curry with two pakoras on top of 6 pints of mild in fact irritates your stomach lining more and causes bad puking. It makes the bathroom experience the next morning that much worse as well. ( will this stop me eating a cheeseburger on the way home after drinks? no. no it wont)
So there you have it, hangover people are gremlins. This is more true as you get older and you wake up and feel great.
You look around and say "wow i was soooo wasted last night and I feel great now. The birds are swaying and the trees are singing, awesome. Wait for it...........AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
and an hour later your pale and sweating clutching the toilet like its your one true love

Worst hangover ever?
Mine was last year after my 30'th. I woke up at 6, 7, 9.30 and again at 11 when my body said "cant sleep no more". My eyeballs felt like they had been dipped in chilli sauce, my guts where trying to make a bid for freedom and my mouth felt like something had crawled into it in the middle of the night and then died....of a hangover.
I wished for sweet release but alas I lived. Shudder
OK what was yours??

  1. My 18th without a doubt. I don't think words can express how drunk I was the night before and how ill I was after.
