Gin Soaked Boy

I have yet to meet with the surgeon, and beyond Isabel, no one that I have written to has sent a response so I have no news on either front, however something is starting to set it.

Now aside from the obvious duty of the colon, it's secondary function is to reclaim water from food.  Now seeing as mine only partially works, I already get dehydrated a fair amount. Once it's gone the risk of dehydration is even higher.  The main cause of hangovers is dehydration.

Once I have the surgery I will no longer be able to drink heavily.  Now drinking is something I am good at, I always have been.  I don't drink daily or even weekly, but when I go out I like to have a few.  Shortly after being diagnosed,I found out (the hard way) that I am prone to hangovers. I've gotten hangovers while remaining completely lucid and sober the night before, it's the curse of having a high tolerance. (On vacation there was an occasion where I managed to open and close a bar, keep in mind the hours of operation were only from 9am to 6 pm, but I still did it (Cuba, 2007- Brisas Santa Lucia))

So in addition to providing my colon a last meal, I think I'm going to need to go on a some sort of drinking binge.  Not a multi-day bender (I am a semi-productive member of society after all), but a night to a remember that I probably won't.

Any suggestions as to what and/or where I should be drinking?  Keep in mind location really doesn't matter, if the suggestion is awesome, I'll try to make it happen (The sharing of drinking stories is encouraged)
