Surely should have given this up in undergrad days? Any thoughts on getting older appreciated ...

I'm not old

Just wiser

Reckon you get drunk sooner with less alcohol when you get older, but the hangovers get much worse. Hope you sleep it off OK DJWickid.

I agree Mia!

u'll be cool .... i say sitting here with my bottle of wine to get me thru this awful report...

I can't even remember writing this! Vague recollection of deciding to surf net in the early hours. Sobered up now. The problem is, before I used to not worry about getting really drunk. Now I'm just paranoid for days after about the state of my liver

Mia, look at it as being wiser, wealthier and healthier, and not middle-aged. Let's face it, repeatedly chucking up bile is actually not that cool.

I just wish I could go out, have a good time and then not worry about it incessantly afterwards. Not that it does me much good, because two weeks later I do it again. But at least its not two days later like in undergrad days
Want to be 19 again!!

I have found most people in my lab are binge drinkers, and it's hard not to drink too much and still socialise with them (I only drink a bit). I think there is a culture for getting really pissed amongst PhDs, probably because of the pressure.
It is amusing when people in my lab sleep together when drunk though
