well tomorrow is my 21st bday party, were going to the keg for supper, then some irish pub to get me hammered Any suggestions on what foods to have, and what to avoid, so i dont get "sick" lol :P I know greasy is bad... so what kind of food do u suggest?

Corona.

Bananas and peaunut butter-lots of it!!. Won't stop you from getting sick or a hangover, but tastes the same coming back up as it does going down.

Everyone is different but cheese and fatty food does it for me. so.... I always avoid eating before drinking. All or notin.


Oh and Happy 21st... I remember mine well.. In fact I had my 22nd 21st birthdat this year.

Hey, Happy Birthday! I just celebrated my 21st on the 13th. As far as what to eat, I knew I ate something and I didnt get sick or anything but I just cant remember what I ate. I think the best advice would be like you said, stay away from greasy food. Have fun getting hammered.

If you are going to an Irish pub second eat lots of green foods. You will be the life of the party if you can throw up green in an Irish bar.

Taco Bell!!! Seriously, the grease will coat your stomach and keep you from absorbing the alcohol too quickly. It's also salty which should keep the electrolytes in balance from taking in so much fluid.

Party on!

Oh, and drink a BIG glass of water or Gatorade before going to sleep. Really makes a difference in the morning. Trust me.

Hey if that is true about the Taco Bell, that is sweet. I can eat Taco Bell everyday. That is good advice too, drinking water before you fall asleep will help with a hangover, I do this and have no hangovers.

I second the water suggestion. Drink water before going out, before bed, maybe sometime in between if you can slip it in. The better you stay hydrated, the less severe the hangover.

Have fun!

I have socks older than you. Be careful and choose a designated driver.

be warned about hte water before bed, i do that alot when i go out, but it always seems to make me a bit more drunk after i drink it...
so if ur drunk and drink it, be ready to be trashed
either that or im just weird....

Already have My friend wasn't so smart a few weeks ago, underage drinking + Driving = him wrapping his dads beamer around a telephone pole... luckily neither him, nor the 2 other ppl in the car were seriously hurt. Never thought he'd be one of those dumb people who dont know when to call for a ride. Anywho, back onto the food topic, keep the ideas coming.. Im thinking a chicken burger might be ok, the bread would prob soak up some booze, and the chicken isn't really greasy.. Idk, ill play it by ear lol :P I just really dont wanna ralf in my friends car haha :P

Many have said to drink water before going to bed yes but you need to drink water before drinking too so hit the water in the afternoon. Hydration is key to no hangovers. Also DO NOT eat hot wings and drink (speaking from personal experience wont go into details) I say some protien and carbs before drinking. Sweets are not a very good idea either.

HOWTO: Drink Vodka Like a Russian

A few suggestions:
Do not mix drinks - pick something and stick with it. Wine + beer + liquor = projectile vomiting.
No cream drinks or anything with milk, ice cream, etc. in it.
Eat during the course of the evening.
Drink non-alcoholic beverages (preferably water) occasionally during the evening to stay hydrated. (if your friends give you grief, tell them this night is a marathon, not a sprint)

Have at least one friend who's willing to stop you from making a complete ass out of yourself rather than point an laugh. Don't spend your b-day in jail. There will be plenty of time to make those memories later.

In addition to the water before bed, take a Vitamin B (or multivitamin) supplement.

For breakfast the next morning, have a spicy Bloody Mary and a short beer.

aw man... you just ruined my whole night.. i was gunna have a bucket of hotwings and some irish Creme And i was planning on going to jail... Gotta start all over again w/ my list of to-do's >

Dude, it's your day - play it the way you want. Just some tips from the "been there, done that" crowd.

Get sick on creme drinks once. You will never do it again.

And if you don't have that one good friend with you - don't worry about jail or remembering any of it. The YouTube videos of your magic markered face with some dude's balls pressed to your forehead will be available for all to see.

Oh, and your new magazine subscription just arrived: http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com/
Don't forget the list of 40 things every modern drunkard should do before he dies.

And study up on The 86 Rules of Boozing
15. If you offer to buy a woman a drink and she accepts, she still might not like you.

17. If someone offers to buy you a drink, do not upgrade your liquor preference.
(You look like a gold-digging stripper if you're drinking Aristocrat and when offered a free drink step up to Boodles)

74. If you hesitate more than three seconds after the bartender looks at you, you do not deserve a drink.

75. Beer makes you mellow, champagne makes you silly, wine makes you dramatic, tequila makes you felonious.

Technically the 19th was my bday, but tonight is the only day when i could get everyone together :P Thanks for the magazine link, that should prove useful And here in canada, legal drinking age is 19 :P So i got 2 years under my belt, but tonight i have an old friend of mine coming, so im gunna go a little harder than in the last few years :P

I also find the water before bed thing works wonders. I try to get 1-2 beer glasses full in me when I get home.

But of course if you are with a lady you don't need that water sloshing around so wait for later. lol.

Cement mixer!!

soo, its hte day after, how you feeling?

back when i still drank.. lots of water. no food.

lots of colorful food.. strawberry wafer cookies, gatorade, crackeers, taco bell, hotdogs, kraft dinner.. then after you puke, you can make a game of trying to tell whats all over your shoes.

I never watched what I ate, I just went and enjoyed myself.. PS.. I used to be able to chug vodka straight.. used to love the taste of it, but havent had a drinkof anything in about 10+ years.


Have fun and dont drive!!

Straight vodka? Wuss! back in college i drank everclear on the rocks like it was water.. I had built up a pretty good tolerance ( one of the reasons i quit drinking.. and one of the reasons i no longer have a stomach lining in my 40s )

Better vodka really doesn't have a flavor of its own..

tis the day after, and ive had 7 hours sleep, but i feel ok, mild headache, but not bad at all :P Had 5 pints of guiness, a glass of scotch, and a few other misc drinks. For supper, i had a baked potato and peppercorn steak, and a heineken. Was a good night Now my friends 21st bday is coming up, so i think where going back there again lol :P Stay tuned for part 2....

That's just mean.

It's an IRISH pub..............

Guiness, Harp and Black and Tan is all the knowledge he really requires.

quote Originally posted by Formula88: That's just mean.

i know, just ask my friend pat about it

at abotu 12midnight, he in a drunken slur goes "TOLD you GUYS i wouldnt be passed out."
so we hit him w/ that last drink..
he goes to standup from the stool, never hits being straight up, just right to the floor... KO
we had to carry him out :P
next morning were are all at work (we left him at a friends house, who aslo left for work) and get a call asking "WHERE AM I?!"
it was classic.
