Is everybody having a hangover from last nights celebration, or what?

by Fran (fran at eurotrib dot com) on Thu Jan 1st, 2009 at 12:43:48 PM EST

None for me. I actually took a nap at about 8PM (an exciting New Year's, I tell ya), woke up at 10PM to turn on Dick Clark. Sounded like he was slowly recovering from his stroke. Much better shape than last year.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm okay. Didn't really get too drunk cos drinking on your own isn't really that sort of drinking.

Mind you, the Stone Bitter chocolate Oatmeal Stout (eat your heart out Drew) was pretty damn fine.

If the Arrogant Bastard Ale is any indication, I'll pass. Didn't think much of it.

Never tried that. If I ever see it I'll try it and comment.

no hangover, and no celebrations here (none / 0)

A bottle of champagne between 3 adults, and everybody (almost) off to sleep before 11pm. A surprising number of artisanal fireworks are lit up in the streets of the city on that hour...

Did you also use a sabre to open the bottle? :)
