it was meant lightheartedly you miserably (insert swear word) anyway if your saying a full bottle of vodka then you have your answer.

Its not like I hack around at either as I don't think it would be so noticable to those that don't play to a good/reasonable standard.
Anyways in the last 4/5 years I have noticed after a session on the ale the following day I have become an absolute jibbering wreck and cannot play either at all. My putting and chipping goes to peices and at snooker my arm is like I'm playing in a hurricane. To be honest it takes me 3 days to feel properly normal again as even the 2nd day after drinking I am still not right.
I just wondered if anyone else struggles with this as it concerns me a bit as it never used to happen at all. I don't know whether its age or that I just drink a lot more on a session these days. Also are there any secret tips that I don't know about that might be of use. I hydrate a plenty after a sesh too btw.
I'm playing golf today in a few hours and had plenty to drink on Wednesday night and I still feel like a bumbling wreck. As you can imagine this is very frustrating which leaves me with 3 options as I see it.......
1) If I want to play to a decent standard still then really curb my drinking habbits.
2) Live with it and accept I'm just not as good as I was.
3) Give up and concentrate on drinking.
By the way I'm 28

How do you feel after having food, and drink (such as Water) ?
I'm 27, so similar aged to you. I have started to shake the day after an heavybag session, but I've put this down to shock on my hands and after a few days the shakes go.
I always get the shakes after a heavybag session, it's perfectly normal and (as you rightly say) to do with the shock and absorbtion of your body. It's not exactly a normal behaviour to continually punch something with so much resistance, so you don't get a normal response from your body.
I used to have terrible tendonitus in my forearms due to the way I wrapped my hands, it was agony and I couldnt even grip my gym bag or anything!

Honest question, why do you drink? I've always been take it or leave it with booze, I'm definitely a social drinker but I've even gone off that recently - I'm 26.
Depends what you want in life mate, either enjoy your sport or enjoy the drink. There is a compromise, but the 'shakes' would set off some minor alarm bells in my head.
BooksReject said:The shakes will just be your body in shock as your liver struggles to cope with the amounts you are drinking, and will probably one day kill you :) But it's not all bad news, just have a pint or two playing snooker, and see if that solves it!
1 unit of alcohol = 1 shot or 1/2 pint of beer. It's roughly 25mls per shot, therefore 70cls = 700mls = 28 shots.MikeBlue said:strongbowholic said:Ignore my previous post. FUCK ME!!! A full bottle of voddy on a night out? that's rough son. I hope you only go out once a fortnight?!
Ha I wish. I would say thats the same as having 10 pints though. I end up the same state as my mates and we drink, drink for drink. My double to their pint.

28 shots = 28 units of alcohol = 14 pints!
I know that's only 4 more than your estimate, but fucking hell!, most of us start to go under at about pint 7 or 8!!!
That's serious tackle mate.
