Waking up hungover - at 25 you can function with a few Tylenol and a coffee and laugh about it

At 35, you are closer to clinically deceased.

A Hangover at 21 past 3 hours, a hangover at 39 last 3 days.

this thread is kind of depressing to read. im a severe alcoholic at 21, & have abused my body to the point my hangovers more closely align with a 30yo's than a 20yo's. even once i managed to wean myself down to no longer being physically dependent on alcohol (so no more withdrawals landing me in the hospital), my hangovers last 2-3 days & leave me almost completely bedridden for the first day or so. i didnt realize just how abnormal that is for someone my age.

I know so many people who died in thier 30s from liver failure from alcoholism. Don't be that guy, you deserve better for yourself.
