Got bummed around Aus
At 23 I should still be somewhere near the prime of my life. Still have all my hair, wrinkles do not concern me and a beer gut has not quite formed into its glory yet (although 7 months of travelling is helping it along its way). Friends, colleagues and people I just generally know older than me saying my time is coming. No longer am I in a meadow of poppies, where nothing can hurt you. In stead I have fallen into the a bed of roses, it looks good from the outside but once in there you will get hurt! And this leads to the 2 day hangover. One of the first signs that you are no longer in that honeymoon period of drinking – where you can go drink after drink and wake up the next morning with just a slight groggy feeling, maybe the slight memory loss (months have been lost from my life) but knowing a quick hair of the dog will make the world a sunnier place again. These days I need a rest from drinking – not a good thing for a traveller – and this week I have suffered my first ever two day hangover. Why! Why me!! Cut down in the prime of my life. Now lets get one thing I straight – I did drink for 12 hours but it wasn’t like I had 5 pints every hour. Only had about 10 max in that whole time I reckon so why does my still feel like it needs to shut it self down 2 days after the drinking event? Why does my body still want me to lie down in a darkened room and not move? Why does it feel like if Ricky Hatton punched me in the face right now it would not distract from the pain my body is going through? Has anyone else been through this traumatic event? Or am I just being weak?
