At my sister's in Philadelphia for New Years -- drank scotch and smoked some cigars outside in South Philly, exchanged some stories, got to sleep late. No hangover though! I drank water the last hour I was up before sleep. Quite convenient.
im a scotch fan myself. but, yeah, you have to be careful with scotch. it (especially cheap scotch) is notorious for its hangovers. as it was once told to me....scotch is like gay sex, the first time you try it it is icky and hurts a little, but after a while you enjoy it.
i got pretty hammered last night. no hangover. i drank copious amounts of water and gatorade.
So, the important question is...IS scotch like gay sex?
I think that depends on what the meaning of the word IS, is.
