Ok. sorry - supposed to answer YOUR q's.

Until the END of my drinking, when I reached that 'final' stage - I'd hardly ever experienced hangovers, per se, either.
(you like that? 'per se' ... makes me sound like I've read books, or something)

I'd have bad side effects from the amazing amout of redbull I drank....caffeine overload, but not so much the liquor. At least, not like others. Nothing a big drink of water couldn't get rid of.

No, I don't miss 'holiday' drinking. It's like gonig back to the way I always was.
But I only 'drank' like the alcoholic I am for five years. I don't have a twentysomething year habitual history of alcohol use.
Alcoholic personality - oh yes. no doubt.
But actual ABUSE ... only five years.
