When I was a student I was good at doing this. Large quantities of beer were the norm, and recovery time was minimal. Nowadays a great evening out takes about 2 weeks to recover…
I guess the best way not to suffer is to stick to one particular drink, and in Dublin that can only mean one thing, and try to drink slowly over a long period of time. Perhaps I didn’t quite achieve that (drinking slowly…) but at least I stuck to the black stuff, and mighty delicious it was too…
The other way to forget that you can’t quite be a student anymore, is to surround yourself with your student pals and just relive the old days. And that’s what we did, to great effect. Enjoying the craic! Inside I still feel like I’m in my younger 20s anyway…
And at no stage did I give up the ghost, put my head in my hands and drown all my sorrows. This pic isn’t me!
Next year: Galway!!!

‘Love it. You’ve still got it Thomas!
But it’s true, I remember when I was a uni student and I never slept at the weekend ‘cos I was going from party to party! These days, my husband and I can’t go to the opera without one of us falling asleep and gently snoring (usually him)!
As for a night out. I was always a light drinker in the first place, so if the quality of alcohol isn’t high grade, I can’t even begin to drink it!

I agree! Now that we are ‘older…’ and, possibly, ‘wiser…’ then quality is more important than quantity!

Dear Tom, I enjoyed the photos; what does “craic” mean? As ever. AJP >
