Well, there's a few good points there for sure.
1. Fatigue: I'm sure this plays a part in feeling ****ty even after the alcohol should be gone. I'm working like a dog.
2. Water: I'm not a fan. I prefer to take my water as tea. Or orange juice or with lime cordial in it, or with Barley water mixed in (or better still made into beer!).
3. Smoking: I'm not a smoker, never have been.
4. Exercise: Hmm. Maybe I should start!
Really though, could not one of our Doctors who frequent these fora comment on the livers ability with age?
My understanding is that One UK Unit of alcohol is equal to the amount of alc. that the UK Standard liver can do away with in an hour.
Does that change with age? Also my livers' had plenty of practice over the years. It should be more efficient than an unaclimatised one, unless it's shot to hell!
