Like many of you, I have been taught by the best teacher, experience, not to get poopy-faced in the first place. The only time I get in trouble now is when I forget to keep food in my stomach during the evening. I always try to keep some carbohydrates coming in as well as alternating glasses of water and whatever I'm drinking. Mostly I stick to Guinness (with an occasional Harp).

However, the times I've had the most fun was when I was in good company and listening to or participating in good music and conversation -- it's amazing how cheaply you can have a good time without loosing your land legs!
