Have you ever blacked out from too much? Once and only once...i hated the feeling (and the hangover the next day) of not being in control. Never again will I drink that much.
How often do you get hangovers? What is your best hangover remedy? Rarely now, but when I used to go our regularly my prevention was a huge glass of water and two Tylenol before even going to bed. 9 times out of 10 I'd wake up fine the next day.
Would you rather give up alcohol for a year or get $1000 cash? I'll take the money... I haven't had a drink in 9 months and I'm ok with that. It'll probably be a whole year since I'm planning on breast feeding.
What is your best/juiciest/funniest alcohol related story? I have a couple. One was in Hartford and involved offering a cop directing traffic a hot dog from the street vendor because "he was working hard and looked hungry". He seriously almost took it.
Man, I guess we're the only drinkers around here and I hardly ever drink anymore...even before I got pregnant!!

Does alcohol make you super tired? Sometimes, more lately since I have zero tolerance now!

How often do you get hangovers? What is your best hangover remedy? I get hungover if I have three or more. There are remedies? I just lay in bed and die!
Would you rather give up alcohol for a year or get $1000 cash? I would take the cash these days.
What is your best/juiciest/funniest alcohol related story? I'm married to that story now!
