Yup, I can relate 100% to this. In the beginning of my drinking, I never got hang overs. Now, if I drink, it's pretty much a guarantee that I WILL be hung over the next day, and if I have to be to work, that I will be calling in.
I never scared straight myself. It does get bad though. In my outpatient rehab, a guy told us how he vomited blood because the alcohol ate away at his esophagus, and he's also had seizures and fell through a window at work one day, and he still drank. Crazy stuff...
