Hammered from the night before, in the gym on many SAT AM's unfortunately. (From the FRI night before).
I would grab a 24 oz "Red's Wicked Ale" or similar, guzzle it in gym parking lot (8 AM) just to avoid hangover (basically kept buzz/drunk) until after the gym.
Glad I gave up booze fully, never missed it, never had a craving after 40 years of using (heavily) and quitting suddenly.
(Of course I dont advise cold turkey, as they lectured me after my ambulance ride and overnight hospital stay).

(Heart rate took off to dangerous levels).
Just the thought of it makes me puke in my mouth a bit. Im glad its like that, than what other gin-mills go thru. (The cravings, relapse, etc).
