It gets harder to recover from sessions the older we get. I used to get off my face all night and then go into work the next morning at 8am at 22 years old...easy. Mind you, I worked in a big picture frame factory and could get away with all kinds. If any of you have dodgy shaped pictures on your walls...you know why.to be fair, i had 3 heavy boozy sessions mixed with alot of marathon training
so burning candles both ends
I was the same, out until 3 or 4am Thursday nights, and in the office for 8 on the Friday, no hangover at all!It gets harder to recover from sessions the older we get.

Like anything pal some people spend a few grand a year watching footballDecent chunk of your wages must have been going on it.
True I know some people do city home away and Europe and spend more than that a month it cost me £500 Chelsea and Southampton away in the space of a week just trains ticket and hotel plus if it’s your own money it’s got fuck all to do with anyone else£650-700 a month and around 10,000 calories (around 5 days worth of food for an average male).
Scary when you see it written down like that.
Been meaning to comment on this thread for a while; I used to drink Thursday - Sunday, generally at home. Usually 3-4 cans and a bottle of wine. Dressed it up as pre-tea drinks etc or relaxing with a glass of wine. I was fully functioning and never missed work and generally got up early. My wife doesn’t drink really and neither do my grown up children. Last New Year’s Eve I made a sudden decision to try dry January; I’d never gone more than 4-5 days without a good drink for thirty years.
Dry January became dry February and before I knew it I’d been on holidays, attended family meals, been to half a dozen away games and numerous other situations I would see as an opportunity to have a few.
My key was finding things to do at times I would usually be thinking about a drink. These activities were as mundane as playing pool on my phone, tidying out a cupboard or doing some jobs in the garden. It is now the end of my second dry January and I don’t really get any urge to drink.
I generally feel less tired and have lost weight which then motivates me to do more exercise. Luckily for me it hasn’t been a big wrench and I know some of you have had struggles over the years. I hope some of you coming to the end of dry January keep it up for a while longer get.
Get stuck in lads and lasses!
Fuck me, where were you drinking if 43 pints was costing you £650-£700 a month?!£650-700 a month and around 10,000 calories (around 5 days worth of food for an average male).
