Unfortunately, the hangovers do get worse as one gets older. But you weren't drinking alone, so you're one up on some of us.

Next time, have a couple of aspirin with you, to take before you finish drinking. As long as you don't drink enough to vomit (which would expel the aspirin :p ), it helps. (That's been my experience, anyway.)

Take what you can. *raises glass* Give nothing back. *chugs*
