i'm starting to think that I'm developing an alcohol intolerance. I had just five pints on saturday night and I was crippled on sunday with a whopper of a migraine teamed with unending cyclical vomiting. I mean, I know what a five pint hangover feels like, and it's not that. Nowhere near. The depths of the nausea, the repeated retching and puking, every ten minutes for hours. Finally tranced out into a semi awake state in the afternoon, and surfaced proper about 8pm. I've had these bouts before, even regularly, but I've always put it down to drinking way too much. But that's not normal after five pints of bitter.
I can still feel it even now... my head still doesn't feel quite right, it's buzzing as my migraine finally starts to fade out.
Could be the end of my drinking career. I can't take much more of that kind of nausea, let alone the pain.

oh I won't be quitting, I just might have to retire from the pro circuit. I've been surviving mostly off scotch recently... I've fallen out of any kind of social life, so the evenings are now all about nursing a glass of malt from the comfort of the sofa. I'll hopefully be able to carry that on, but I guess any professional appearances may have to be cancelled. Shouldn't be a problem.

I've had to do ths over the past three or so years. Started by knocking mid-week all day drinking sessions, on the head, then started taking Sundays our of the equation. Now it's all low key local stuff. There's still the occasional showcase match where I'll sray up drinking till about four, but it doesn't really happen much these days and I mostly only do it for the fans.
But yeah. I never seemed to have the problems you describe. Sounds like you're on your way out, bro.

Hey maybe someone can help me out here. A chap recently did me a huge favour and I want to repay him in booze. He likes a nice single malt so I figured that's a good way to go. But can someone recommend one that isn't glenfiddich?

rather than cutting out the drinking, I've been cutting out friends, via a simple yet devastating campaign of being unrelentingly bleak and cynical about everything. Once adopted, this strategy brings immediate and lasting results. I've had to stop saying things to Louise, after she told me that she couldn't take my negativity.

The problem with single malt is it's all down to personal taste.
Some people adore Laphroaig, I personally can't stand it, so it's a bit dangerous to go for one of the big british ones.
I'd probably go for something that he is unlikely to have tried before and is still good. Last night I had some Suntory single malt from Japan and I thought that was delicious, and it has the added bonus of having Japanese writing on the bottle which makes it cooler.

Benrowan, Benromach, Knockandoo, Balvenie, and Auchantoshen are all ones that I've enjoyed over the last 18 months or so.

Ooh that looks good, despite the spazzy website. Where can you get that from?

@Tilde yeah it's certainly a migraine, but the extent of the vomiting and the unending depth to the nausea makes me thinks that something else is also going on.

You best start fucking, boy. You want to leave your mark on this world, right? Plus, a kid is just what you need.

You mean he wasn't even being original?
He's slipping.
