easily, let's get carried away

i wonder where the hangover appeared in terms of evolution? i suppose the feeling of wanting to throw up prevents you from wanting to drink anymore. but that's problematic, because being able to eat is a good remedy. it's the only way your stomach is going to recover from the abuse it took the night before. a headache can't be good, because it makes you want to take headache medication which might cause your stomach to start bleeding internally. it feels as if in general, having hangovers isn't a good thing at all.

but that's quite a given. my only question is why it hasn't been weeded out. rather, why have humans not adapted to alcohol better? as far as i know, people used to drink much more alcohol, so it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to believe that they should have developed better coping mechanisms over time. of course it might just be that recreational drunkenness is a recent habit, and our bodies have yet to catch up.

i suppose i'm not feeling that horrible this morning though. there was some trouble sleeping, but otherwise i'm feeling quite alright. at least physically. i realize that life can be really ironic sometimes. that and the fact that this college is just too small. there are some horrific surprises that seems to define my life at this point.

it's really strange the dynamics of two people dissolving any significant liaison on bad terms. it's clearly inconsequential, but somehow there is always that need to be the winner in such circumstances. i'm not sure how much of what i did last night was somehow motivated by that, but i suppose i was quite conscious of trying to avoid feeling that way. perhaps it was more of a distraction than anything else, which was the very reason for me to be there in the first place.

fortunately, the bartender pours good drinks. and sad stories will get you one on the house. hey, at least man utd just beat arsenal 4-0. cup games are fantastic.
