My cup runneth over…
Last night F came home with three bottles of champagne. I can’t tell you why he came home with three bottles of champagne but that really isn’t the point of this post anyway. Obviously we drank it. Things got a bit hazy about half way down the second bottle and I seem to remember that we went into the garden at some point and we must have ordered a curry cos there was one (not unpacked)in the kitchen when I woke up this morning but even that’s not the point of this post (although it is true that reheated Indian food makes the best breakfast in the world).
The point of this post is that someone once told me that you don’t get a hangover if you drink champagne. I’d just like to state for the record that whoever said that was a sadistic liar and that I hope that they rot in a wine cellar for all eternity.

really? who told you that? my mom always warned me that champagne hangovers were the worst of the lot. Given that my family used to run a bar, I take my mom’s advice on alcohol as from one who knows her shit.

Your mum is right!!!! But I wish you’d told me before this…
I can’t remember who told me that you didn’t get hangovers from champagne - its just one of those pieces of (obviously incorrect)information that linger around in the back of your head.

There are 2 kinds of people: those who, if they fall in a hole, will climb out and stick around to warn the next person who comes by to watch their step; and those who, if they fall in a hole, will hide behind the nearest tree so they can laugh at the next poor sap who comes along and falls in.
whoever told you champagne doesn’t give you hangover is probably someone who had themselves at one time been told that myth, and who made the same fatal error you did. Since you’ve already come public and debunked the fallacy, we all know what kind of soul you are, m’dear.

you can never drink too much.
but you CAN wake up too early.

that must have been the problem. Those early mornings get you every time.
