Lingonberry pancakes?

We have this place up here called the Pancake Chef.  They have bacon pancakes.  Add butter, and pecan syrup. 

Where's up here?  Pancakes? butter? bacon? pecan syrup?..... I'm in Dude.....

I'm up here in Washington.  In a small town in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, called Orting.

Back in my heavy drinking days, I just continued drinking, no hangover what so ever. Start Wednesday with a warm up drink, Thursday was my Friday, Friday was my Saturday, Saturday was just a follow up, Sunday was my warm down day.

After a night of  heavy drinking, I drink a few glasses of water. And when I wake up its a greasy breakfast, cup of coffee and a concoction of kool-aid (just add twice the sugar), Gatorade and water. A Tylenol for the headache and I am good to go

I can't wait for my next beer

usually if I'm proactive before I pass out ( drinking water, taking Tylenol, eating something...etc) then I wake up good to go. It's on the nights that I skip the water and Tylenol that I wake up with problems. I've also noticed that the older I get the more my body tends to like straight booze instead of beer. If I drink whiskey all night I'll wake up fine but drink the same amount of beer and I wake up hurtin.

Everyone has their poison when it comes to drinks. For me I can drink beer like no one's business most days, but there are days I can drink a stiff whiskey and whatever no problem (usually a quad whiskey and coke)

Just whiskey on the rocks for me these days, maybe the melted ice gives me enough water to avoid the hangovers

[Liam_123]

Haha maybe. I don't mind the hangover, it reminds me I'm human. But it usually takes quite a bit for this dude to get drunk enough for a hangover. And by quite a bit I mean 15+ beers or 15+ double rye and cokes. Does that mean I'm an alcoholic? Lol

Well if I sit down to drink I'm usually in it for the long haul and it's not uncommon for this Dude to solo a bottle of whatever Whiskey I happen to have on hand, does that make one an alcoholic? Well, Dude we just don't know. I'd have to say no in my particular case since those incidents are generally pretty rare. I used to hit the bottle like it owed me money but I have cut back on my drinking since the start of this new year. Over the last few years I've spent more time than not under the influence of something so I'm trying to get back in touch with real life by experiencing as many days as I can with a clear head....or maybe I'm just getting boring as I get older, it's really hard to say, lol.

Everyone has or set their limits or reasons for alcohol consumption and that's cool. We all drink for different reasons, I don't judge a man for how much he can or can't drink (sorry if that may sound judgemental or anything, but I mean all the best, just a little slow on the thinking process). This may or may not be an excuse for my drinking, I don't care what people say, but I do suffer from depression and alcohol helps me escape everything. When I'm drinking my mind is like an etch esketch, drink a bunch, shake my head and I'm good for a while.

You haven't come off as offensive in anyway! I completely agree that everyone has their own reasons to drink and I hold no judgments towards anyone who needs an oatsoda for one reason or another. We all have our ways of getting through the days! Hell it wasn't long ago that drinking was my go to answer for all of life's questions. It's only been recently that I've been on this whole life without beer goggles kick haha.

Friendly advice from your neighborhood boozer: if you drink regularly, please carefully consider whether you should also take Tylenol. The combination completely wrecks one's liver (hepatotoxicity). Same goes for prescription drugs with a Tylenol (acetaminophen) component (e.g., Norco, Oxycodone, Oxycontin). It's not such a big deal if you only drink occasionally and in moderation.

That said, I'm not aware of any perfect pain-killer substitute to take with alcohol. Advil (ibuprofen) doesn't have quite the same propensity towards liver damage but it can be rough on the stomach lining. Ulcers aren't fun. Same with Aspirin but, honestly, that's what I go with. I'm not a doctor and this ain't advice from an expert. I go with Aspirin largely because of the nature, extent, and duration of its usage and the comparatively innocuous results.

I appreciate the concern, Jgiffin! I use Tylenol as my generic name for painkillers haha its Ibuprofen would be what I actually take but I hear what your saying. Luckily for both my liver and my stomach my days of hard drinking are in the past, now I stick to the few and far between method.
