no no no, it means that if u drink loads of water and have a batch of suppliment pills before u hit the pillow then the morning bears no hangover.

You're so far away from the point you can't even see it!

That is, its nothing to do with drinking til you fall over. It's what exactly actually happens to your body that we're looking at.

Your body pulling on your brain til it shrinks? Eek!

i take your point, alright! if you think about it though, the body is affected by gravity because its made up of 70% water in the same way as the tides are caused by the rotation of the moon around the earth.....so, if the moon affects the water on the earth, it must also affect the water in our bodies.... maybe the word 'lunatic' was accurate after all!

Are you kiddin?? I have never thought about that before!! If your pullin my leg well... Your mean, cause you got me thinkin about it now!!

if you think about it a hangover is a small portion of dehidration, so just think if hangover are bad, think about how much worse it would be if you where dying to dehidration, worst hangover in the world

maccas81 · 06-23-2005, 10:20 PM

and if it was a full moon as well! then youd be in trouble!

Beevers_uk · 06-23-2005, 10:23 PM

Jesus christ!! Ive never thought of it in that much detail, thats horrible!! Im never drinkin on a full mooon ever again!!

maccas81 · 06-23-2005, 10:59 PM

yeah those native americans knew their stuff...they were against drinking anyway but they especially frowned upo it at full moon time...kinda makes you think...they knew that back then.....were regressing, i tell you! and its all down to drink! makes me think of that 'futurama' episode where it shows ireland before alcohol was invented.....it was this space age, futuristic country where everyone was ultra civilised....then alcohol gets introduced and they all start beating the crap out of each other and society collapses into anarchy......not too far from the way were headed these days!
