I have a theory that between panel 1 and 2 the mom somehow slipped into a coma and is dreaming her best life. But I enjoy thinking of Twilight Zones lol. 🥴
Dating scene analogy: Men are in a desert, Women are lost at sea. There is no water whatsoever for the men. The women don’t have access to drinkable water. Both are dying of dehydration.
True story, just before my open heart surgery, I had the top two surgeons arguing over who was going to do it. LOL. I’m like “guys, guys, I’m sure you’re both great, I’m just the guy on the table… flip a coin, do rock paper scissors…”
I know it’s not like this for everyone but I have a 3.5 year old and he is what provides me the energy to keep going and brings me so much joy. Sure, I boot up the Steam Deck about 3-5 hours a week but my multi-hours gaming sessions I don’t miss at all.
Drinking in my 30s really meant that I won’t get much of a buzz, but will feel bloated and get a headache later. Also, unless I do all my drinking early in the day, I won’t get a good night’s sleep because my heart will be racing.
So…only have 2-3 drinks max for the day and do it before the sun sets so I have the evening to process it. Or don’t bother at all since the benefits don’t really outweigh the cost. Staying hydrated throughout is important but doesn’t really fix any of the aforementioned issues.
Hydration is definitely key. I used to think light beer was well engineered because I rarely got sick off it, but it really just has the water built in…
If I start hydrating early during the day, keep to clear liquor, limit my intake, stop in the early evening, and take some electrolytes at bedtime, I can usually mitigate 90% of the hangover. I will still have terrible sleep.
But, why am I doing all this? It’s just easier to stay sober these days.
