h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Next time you're out, why don't you try NOT drinking? You shouldn't slag off what you don't know...

"Boys, don't drink alcohol, drinking alcohol is bad, m'kay?"

You may laugh, but you'll see - you'll all see! Muahahahahaaaaaa!!!!

"Next time you're out, why don't you try NOT drinking? You shouldn't slag off what you don't know..."

I have. It's boring.

Personally, I drink until I feel "drunk" and then stop drinking. If I get too sober, I start drinking again. That way I don't get legless and avoid a hangover in the morning. When I was a stoodent, I used to go in for the "go to the pub and get leathered" thing and I ended up not being able to walk and being seriously ill in the morning. I gave up getting bladdered ages ago and I feel better for it. (there have been some relapses due to bad judgement but they are very few and far between).

Funnily enough, all my worst hangovers have been after Scottish h2g2 meets.

My last hangover was after the 26th October 2002 h2g2 meet, funnily enough.

Mine too!
Coincidence? Hmmmmmmm.

Wonder when Wumbies last one was.....

I haven't seen him round for ages...

Hmm.. I rarely get hangovers when I drink. Oh, except for when I drink Tequila, which usually has me in a state where it hurts just moving around.
Anyways, I'm usually not much for drinking (although I like the occasional p*ssup) and I find that it depends on your company whether it gets dull or not. If you're with a good crowd, you shouldn't need to feel that you have to be drunk to have a good time. Like the Hootoo meets, for instance. Oh, wait, that's a bad example as I usually end up drinking a bit on those. Well, anyways, what I was saying is that even if you drink moderately (like a beer or two, or in Jamies and my cases cider) you can still have a great time.

Personally, I didn't make any New Year's Resolutions, as I made one a couple of years ago that I'd never make one ever again, and I'm sticking to it.

I've made a few sort-of New Years resolutions but there's no definite "list" yet. I won't stick to them anyway, people rarely do.

Ooh, now here's an idea, based on the content of this convo. *waves to fords and s*

How about we arrange an h2 meet that doesn't involve meeting in a pub and getting p*ssed? ...

Just an idea...

And why, exacltly, would any researchers want to go to that?

*shrugs* Personally I could do with getting totally ratted about now. Drown out my thoughts.

*waves to Sus* I think that a meet where we don't all get totally p*ssed could be a good idea. I do believe that most of us at the last mini-meet in Glasgow on the 28th of Dec was fairly civilised. I don't think anyone got totally rat-arsed, and a good time was had by all. OKay, so we did meet up in a bar and spent the entire day there, but still.

Hi Sus!

I think that seeing as a non-alcoholic meet just isn't going to happen, why don't I do a sponsored not-getting-drunkathon? You have to give me money so I don't touch a drop - the money goes to the charity of choice of the person who coughs up the most sponsor money!

since you're not drinking, fords, isn't that a little pointless Bascially paying you to do what you're going to do already.

Or are you getting all sneaky and capitalist on us?

remembers you said "charity" and es.

Still, it's not exactly a struggle for you to do what you're going to do anyway, is it?

Kind of like a Wumbeevil "Boozeathon"
