i agree with you OP. im sick of updates about how theyre sat crying in a dark corner over how much they hurt and how they have a mouth like ghandi's slipper.
i had a drink on new years eve, but i was sensible to know my limits and my gf is the same and agrees, for that reason, we both enjoyed the night and remembered it.
then you get these alphas on fb that think its some sort of contest, telling the world how theyre getting "messy", infact, ive hidden 3 peoples feeds since new years eve because i believe there is more to life than killing your liver un - necessarily, just enjoy yourself and dont go on a destructive path.

I hate it when people go on Facebook when they are "drunk"...
"I'm so drunk right now. I can barely stand!".
YOU ARE NOT THAT DRUNK. YOU ARE TRYING TO GAIN RESPECT FROM YOUR PEERS BY SAYING HOW MUCH FUN YOU ARE HAVING AND HOW DRUNK YOU ARE BUT YOU CAN TYPE PERFECTLY FINE WITH THE CORRECT GRAMMAR AND SPELLING, SO NOT THAT DRUNK AT ALL. AND IT CAN'T BE THAT GOOD AS YOU ARE UPDATING YOUR STATUS!

You definitely can't complain and you really shouldn't be taking time off work for it. Just grin and bear it.
I hate this kind of behaviour. I don't get paid twice as much for working twice as hard.
I'm sick of people moaning about people moaning on facebook about moaning on forums moaning.
Gets on my ***** a bit when people are like 'Whoah, why did I drink so much'/'Never drinking this much again!'/'Didn't realise a 3 day hangover was possible!'.
I couldn't really care if people are hungover. I went out with my friends on new years eve, we had a meal, a few bottles of wine and then went to a club where most only brought a few drinks. I had about another 5 or 6 but was by no means 'wasted'. Felt a bit rough the next day but mostly from a pants night sleep on a sofa. Didn't moan about it once.
If your friends persist on telling you about how they've drunken themselves into ******* their insides out on the toilet all day then I'd just not reply to be honnest.
I can see the funny side of it and would probably only let somebody know of my state because of the funny side but I wouldn't ever go looking for sympathy over it.

your friend and gf are idiots.
first of all she deliberately did it and second if she can't see why it's so bad she should stay away from drink a while.
your gf thinks you can only get aids from sex... let alone people injecting you with infected blood or being born with aids. but apparently they don't count.

I have an ex who would descrbe a hangover as being "ill"
He claimed being hungover is the same as being ill. I could not see how. Even when I was hungover myself.

I don’t want this to be a big rant..so ill try and keep it short
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
I feel exactly the same, some people seem to be proud of a hangover , and wear it like a badge, i think its pretty pathetic myself.
because sometimes you are ill, albeit self inflicted
Illness is a fine way to describe a hangover - same as smokers getting lung cancer. I'm a smoker, and if I get lung cancer I'd consider myself ill. If i get a hangover, I'm ill - I'm not well, that's for sure. Thinking someone's less ill because they brought it upon themselves is misguided - whether they deserve the same level of sympathy or not isn't even a question.
