Speaking of the sniffo, off to get my hattrick for covid testing this year.

Apparently the manager who came in while his son was sick has managed to pass on the cold to a couple of other people in the office, as I'm not the only one who called in today. So yay.

I'm not allowed to donate blood anymore :(

I run daily and I'd been noticing that I'm more fatigued on my runs for a few days after donation and a little bit nauseous and lightheaded in general.
The thing is I'm a bit fatigued all the time cos I'm 38 and run 80ks a week and if I don't watch my electrolytes I will get nauseous and lightheaded from hyponatraemia cos I sweat a lot more than normal people
I mentioned this to my retired GP Dad and he was like "you've lost a decent fraction of your blood and you went for a 15k run, of course you're going to feel a bit crap" so I thought it was something I would manage
I just thought I wouldn't lie on the questionnaire when it's asks if you've had any side effects, and it turns out if you have any effects that last more than just the day of the donation they will permanently disallow you. No plasma either.

I kinda want to get a doctor's note or something and try to get back on the list, the nurse at the donation centre talked to a doctor on the phone and they just said no. I feel like they don't have the full story.

There's not much point now, but back when you could go and get three tall woodstock petrol n colas for ten bucks or thereabouts it was a cheap and easy way to get on the grog. There's something delightfully horrid about cracking the top off another glass bottle of sickly sweet garbage and just emptying it without having to get up and pour out your own glass of garbage and coke. Plus you could use the empties as an ashtray.

When I started RTDs were roughly the same price per unit as buying normal bottles of spirits, which doesn't really make sense but was probably a ploy to attract new drinkers (it worked.)

If you are buying individual cans of pre mix more than once per day you are for sure just hitting people up for 'train fare' to buy em

I don't know why but whenever someone needs a comically large public transport fare clearly to buy piss or whatever they're always right next to the kind of public transport they aren't hitting you up for and very far away from any kind of the public transport they're asking for fare for. Like train station cunts have always gotta catch a bus somewhere and vice versa. Never quite sure what the heuristic behind it is

Premix is super bad for you IMO. The cans get so cold and they're so easy to drink it's like, oops! you're trashed, again. Woodstock goes up to something like 1.9 standards in a 200ml can, and they come in 4 packs.

You can drink that 800ml in like 20 minutes and it's the same as 7 beers. It's petrol flavour coke, sure but only the most true heroes are eating a baker's half dozen of beers in the same amount of time.

The cola they use is also weird and cloying to me, it seems like it's mostly designed to mask the booze. Chews up your guts. Twenty bucks for 7 standards that you can disappear instantly and just be loving sideways within the hours.

i always thought that it was partly for appearance. It's OK to have one woody with you, but carting around a 4/6 pack that's being currently abused is definitely within the "obvious societal problem" aesthetic.

The caffeine masks the feeling of being drunk, so people get a lot more drunk than they realize because they don’t feel it.

I’m convinced that it also causes people to be more likely to get violent but I have no proof.

im mixed on alcohol having different effects dependant on how you drink it (an uncle of mine gets "cruel" on scotch [he's just a dickhead in general]) but the caffeine + sugar probably does have some energising factors

I don't remember any if the Woodstocks or anything similar had much in the way of caffeine, it was more that they were easy to drink so you'd smash 'em down faster than your metabolism could handle. By the time you felt drunk you were probably well on your way to being way too drunk with no way to stop it.

Caffeine absolutely has an effect and it's the reason why poo poo like Four Loko got banned in the states. It doesn't cut through the effects of being drunk quite as well as actual amphetamines but it gives you the energy to be a drunk rear end in a top hat for longer.
