(Oct 11th, 2008) Myth 2 WATER
In reading everyone's suggestions most of them all said to drink water with some variation of when to drink it or what to take with the water. So I decided to just drink as much water as I could before going to bed. Filling a 2 liter with water before I hit the bar. I had my first drink around 7:30pm and ended the night around 12:00pm with about 9 or so beers and this time I switched it up with 3 Irish Car bombs and a few shots of Bush mills. Most of the heavy drinking accrued after 10:00pm. Even though I was concerned of the affects this next step might have on my... "testing" we stopped at Taco Bell on the way home. I made sure NOT to drink the Mountain Dew that came with the tacos so that it wouldn't throw off my findings. Anyway, I got home and tried to drink as much of the 2 liter as I could. I went to town on the 1st bit downing the water like it was just another shot, I almost drank the entire 2 liters....BUT.....Here comes the fun part. After I drank all the water my stomach felt like it was going to explode. Because of all the alcohol in there already and the new water there just wasn't enough room... soooo, yeah, I threw up most of the water and some alcohol. Then I decided to just eat my tacos, brush my teeth and go to bed. The results.... Well I feel kind of shitty today. I got about as much sleep as I did last weekend but this morning I woke up with a bad headache and my stomach feels like crap. So to me this myth is busted. I think that in order for water alone to counter the affects, you would need to drink a lot of water...a lot more then your stomach can handle. :barf: Not to say that it won't work to take the edge off, but I think you'll need to take some pain pills or something else to help the water work.
If you have any suggestions as to how to improve my "studies" let me know, but please understand that I'm drunk as fuck when I'm trying to do this shit. LOL
