You will feel very bad the next day

scatterbrain · 08/12/2006 18:05

TOO EASILY !!!! Don't though - port hangovers are the mother of all hangovers !

SherlockLGJ · 08/12/2006 18:05

and that is not the envy emotion.

JHC I can feel the hangover from here.

SparklySnowflakeKid · 08/12/2006 18:05

Yes - just drink lots - that will do the job

vnmum · 08/12/2006 18:06

mix it with blue wkd and have a cheeky vimto! yum!!!

TEEstheCEEsontobejolly · 08/12/2006 18:06

easily. It keeps getting passed round the table from the right to the left and it happens very, very, easily.

I love port.

wickedwinterwitch · 08/12/2006 18:07

bloody easily, it's v strong!

GlennCloseAsCruellaDeVille · 08/12/2006 18:08

very bad for those dark things that lurk in drinks and make you feel very ill next day

niceglasses · 08/12/2006 18:08

The rule with port is, if you open a bottle you have to finish it. And always pass to the left. That should do the trick.

Hmm, that's why I thought I'd ask for advice. DH is away for Xmas do all night. Am feeling the need to have my own little Xmas do (might even visit the Chat bar for the first time later). Don't even know what is a normal measure let alone what quantity is going to make me puke but it's all I got!
I know it's sad but sometimes you've just got to drink something and it's Friday night.

I tried Port for the first time the other day. I sniffed it and kept saying to my mum "but will i like it", and then as soon as I tasted it I was like "ooooh this is nice, can i have more"

KathyMCMLXXII · 08/12/2006 18:12

If the port's all you've got, could you concoct some kind of old ladyish drink with hot water and lemon so you don't get such a bad hangover? Or am I missing the point?

SparklySnowflakeKid · 08/12/2006 18:13

pmsl - drinking port on own If you drink enough you could pretend to pass it to the left and chat to the imaginary person sat next to you - have fun [frgin]

GlennCloseAsCruellaDeVille · 08/12/2006 18:14

think your stockings fall down and you leave your hat in the ladies when you have more than a couple of schooners

geekgrrl · 08/12/2006 18:17

oh god, drunk on port... the only time I actually passed out properly when drunk was on port. I was 17 and drinking with some friends on a camping holiday in portugal. Was sick and passed out in the middle of the central campsite square - some kind soul carried me back to my tent.

niceglasses · 08/12/2006 18:18

ahh if you're on youre own passing to the left could be tricky. My (88) yr old grandad hands out port on New Years Eve to the drunks gathered in his front room - telling them its red wine!!

DingDongDraculaOnHigh · 08/12/2006 18:19

i suggest you get drunk on something else and leave the port!

Macdog · 08/12/2006 18:22

Have you heard of the tipple called 'Cheeky Vimto'?
Measure of Port mixed with a small bottle of Blue WKD !
Very nice, but lethal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

foxinsocks · 08/12/2006 18:28

ooh I love port (lived near a fab wine estate in Cape Town that made lovely port)

it's too good to get drunk on though and you'll feel shite the next day!

paulaplumpbottom · 08/12/2006 18:58

Do you have to look after the kids tommorow?

moondog · 08/12/2006 19:01

My grandmother overdid the Port when she was abut 21.
60 odd years later,she reckoned the mere mention of the word had her heaving.
Be warned...

I got absolutely shitfaced on vodka the very first night we went to live in Russia.
I remember talking to an interpreter in a dingy stairwell then it all went black.
Took me a whole week to recover.

Blleeeaaargghhh!!

poinsettydog · 08/12/2006 19:59

3 shots of port would have my head in a pleasant spin.

Get some nuts or pretzels to soak up some of the alcohol and make it a fun night

MerryChristmasPANDAGHappyNewYe · 08/12/2006 20:05

I think port is rather close to Ribena - ie far too drinkable! PLease be careful - not an old fart just one who has suffered a cracking hangover in the past!

Carmenere · 08/12/2006 20:09

Mix it with brandy
