I don’t want this to be a big rant..so ill try and keep it short :P

Im sick to death of people moaning about their hangovers -_- Just has a bit of a falling out with a friend and girlfriend because of it.
My friend Sarah decided to go out new years eve to get (as she put it) wasted. She had 10+ drinks (with shots) in an hour for about 2-3 hours. The next day she found herself with a splitting headache and unable to get off the loo... On new year’s day i received about 6-7 texts from her ALL saying how ill she felt. Today (2nd of jan) i got another 4 texts hinting at how ill she was (trying to make me ask how she was) when i finally asked i got a long drawn out text saying how ‘ill’ she was and ‘low’ she felt. I texted back “Well, tbh its your fault your feeling like that” to which i got a reply saying “how is it?” I replied with “No one forced you to drink so much?” she then sent back and explained how she didn’t have a hangover she was “ill” and i replyed with "Well there must be a lot of bugs going aroudn then because one has got a bad head and stomich since new years eve lol" aint heard from her since.. and i found (i hate people who live their lives on facebook as well lmao) updated her status with a dig towards me. -_- My girlfriend said its because i “don’t drink” so i “don’t understand” She went on to say that if you look at it the right way you could blame people who have AIDS (she didn’t mean it how it sounds) or other illnesses brought on by their actions.

I also I went into work today and found 7 people were off ‘ill’ Thats half of the office team. This made me and the other 7 having to work harder to make up for their absence. Six of the people that were off ‘ill’ all were out new years eve night and day on a pub crawl.

Is it just me, or does anyone else agree you cant really moan and groan about having a hangover or taking days off work with a hangover? If you knew you were going to be so ill/have work the following day. You shouldn’t have gone out drinking so much. Like i say above i don’t drink my self but i have no problem with people drinking. It’s the whole “wahhhh i’m ill because i drank too much. Give me sympathy wahhhh” i really hate. Most of my friends agree with me. Just interested to see how others feel about it.... rant over lol
 
...? How is that sharing my life? I gave your An example, my opionion and asked for yours.

They both sound like complete idiots, and your gf sounds board line offensive. Get new friends.

What she meant was if i was going to have a go at sarah i could have a go at AID victims becuase they have got it through having unprotected sex. Which was their choice. She wasnt saying that is was right to do so. Read between the lines.
 
That's a terrible comparison.

You probably wouldn't have sex with someone if you knew they had AIDS.

Whereas,

You almost definitely know that you will get a hangover if you drink a lot...

Not allways. I knoow people who can drink like a fish and never get a hang over. Then suddenly BAM they get one. Same with sex. You can sleep with 3-4 girls and your okay and then BAM you end up with an STI. Allways wear protection ;)
