Top 3 hangovers
1. Underage in a pub and the barman decided if he were to risk serving kids he’d at least make some coin doing so. Suggested that a normal round people buy was a pint, a port, followed by a red aftershock. Four rounds later and all of us were spewing like the scene from Team America. Over two decades later and the fake cinnamon flavour still provoked a fight or flight response.
2. Islay Whisky. A whisky hangover by itself is something close to actual evil, but an Islay whisky hangover must be the worst of all. Walked the 3 distilleries road, copious tasting, bought a few bottles and then sat on the beach watching the sun set with them. Pliny the Elder said “while other men lose the day that has gone before, the drinker has already lost the one that is to come”. If he’d holidayed in that peat filled isle then he’d have upped the number of days lost by far. If my affairs were in order and I could have pressed a button to end it all I would have.
3. A Bastille Day spent in the town of Cotignac in Provence. Lunch drinking rose, dinner drinking red, the evening drinking Pastis until the sun was rising again. There was no limit to my tolerance that day and I genuinely think I could have out boozed anyone else in the world. Sadly I forgot I had children, and also sadly they woke up before I could go to sleep. And so the day was spent in a state of consistent deterioration of condition and increasing malady. Each anise-infused sick making me sick again like the proverbial snake eating it’s own tail.
