We had a farewell party for one of workers (who got retired) on Saturday. We started with a brunch at about 16 local time, and the list things I remember are from about 21.
It should be forbidden for people over 40 to drink alcohol. Older than 40 people should not be allowed out on town at weekend evenings.
My left knee is all bloodied, I have very sore bulb on my forehead. Hapily nobody seems here at work remember much either, but they all agree it was good they were not in as bad shape as I was.
Next time I'll drink a glass of water and head home immediatly, saying I have fever and headache. Besides, beer tastes much better at home, and there is no younger collegues trying to get you drunk with all sorts of fancy shots and whatnots...

hehe :D
but i do agree as soon as you hit 30 you should be sent a warning that alcohol will make you lose nights of your life and wake up with random injuries.

And people under 40 shouldnt be allowed to drink either as the 'moron with a beer inside him' percentage goes up tenfold. If i was to add up the number of alcohol related murders / fatal accidents / serious assault / attempt murders ive been to then seperate them into over 40 and under 40 piles i could promise that the under 40 pile would be bigger by a factor of 10. So where does that leave us?
1. over 40's can't drink cos they have the recovery time of of a labour government with Gordon Brown in charge.
2. Under 40's can't drink cos they have all the common sense of the British Nation party when pissed.
Therefore alcohol should be banned............ ???
On that note i think ill go shoot myself cos ive just made a rational argument for banning the nectar of the Gods.........sob life is no longer worth living :'(

there is one factor you didnt calculate in...
"the survival of the fittest" factor...
if all those loons who cant stomach a beer or two would survive through the night, so to say, maybe the 2nd pile would be larger after all :)

Hmm... I took it as a compliment. I've had a few beers in my youth. Somebody might claim there were a couple more than a few. *And* I did survive through, without any issues (often going to the next party in the morning after having crawled home a couple hours earlier).
It's just that getting old seems to mean:
1) You have too much money at hand (so the basic "I am broke and nobody lends me money for a beer -> need to get home" isn't the safety-net anymore)
2) You need to prove to the younger ones they know nothing of drinking
3) Lack of practice (of heavy drinking) means you forget all the smart things (eat lots, drink water lots)
4) The moral hangover is un-comparable to anything you possibly did in the youth when your kids point out "You smell bad, why can't we go out and play together, I am hungry but you are apparently not going to make any lunch/dinner today" (when young it was just trying to forget about running naked through the streets, hitting the worst looking crone or some such)
