Hi Needy - all you said is completely illogical, but it makes perfect sense to me! However, I never tolerated a hangover, so it wouldn't have worked to try and be too hungover to drink - I'd just have a "hair of the dog" and feel perky once again - all set to embark on a binge lasting anywhere from days to years. I can't believe I survived after living that way for so long. You're playing with fire, please be careful - I was told I could've had a seizure, heart attack or stroke putting my body through all those ups and downs with no medical supervision. Hoping your day turns out ok in spite of everything.
