Hypo, I can picture you and I working together. We would get along quite well. Just today I thought about how I received my first Masters degree all while drinking. I am about to complete a second but this time, sober. I tend to dream big though when on the booze and then it all goes out the window.
Mecanix, I think your point of, "what would I be doing with this time if I were drunk/hungover" is good for me to think about. I have wasted a lot of time and really, that's all we humans have to make the most of our lives. That's another good thing to think about to keep my stamina up as well as keeping up an exercising routine, or general routine.
Wishing you all the best! ~G.
