First drunk post of the year for me.→[More:] I love you all. I mean it. You're, like, the best!
The guests from France and Canada really liked lighting some fireworks as we are used to doing here. I felt like a 14 year old; running away quickly from the lighted wick. Fun!
And having a newly born in the house really curbs the get-uproarously-drunk urge. So no hangover for me.
For some reason, despite moderate debauchery (four beers, a shot of Maker's and a glass of champagne), I awoke this morning as if nothing had happened.
Got my gig together, went to the provisions store for some sundries, went back home to check on the girlfriend and her visiting friend (both still out), and now here in Local Cafe No. 3, restoring my iPod and caffeinating.
I woke up this morning with the nastiest case of sulfur burps ever. Ugh.
I've also taken one nap today after hiding in the backseat of my homie's car with the baby and trying to avoid the bright sunlight and zero degree temps.
I think the plan is to stay in tonight and finish the rest of the alcohol that we didn't finish last night. This could be treacherous.
Woke up with a mild hangover, got into a cab, got back to my place, paid as quickly as I could, then puked on the sidewalk next to the cab. Fell asleep, woke up again around noon, ate some food, read a little.
Head still hurts a little, but gonna eat some more, drink more water, and wait for the girl who has the keys to my new apartment to drop by.

Same here, actually. I had:
1 Martini
3 Shiner Bock beers
2 Heinekins
2 Shots of Soju
1 Glass of Champagne
and I felt fine this morning. My wife who had 0 drinks is in bed with a headache, body aches, etc. Go figure.
1 beer, two glasses of wine and some champagne for me. All of it at my in-laws place, with a 12.10 bedtime for me. up at 7am with the baby, and home now in New York. Happy new year, everyone!
I woke up this morning afternoon with a definite hangover, the first in a long while. It was my fault for not drinking enough water yesterday. I had a pint of sangria and then one beer with dinner, two beers while out afterward, and the champagne. That shouldn't have given me the headache I had. Still recovering from my cold, I guess.
It was a fun New Year's though - some live music, fun visit with friend, and dancing in the street in the snow at midnight to your favorite dance-party classics played by the local radio DJs. I'm glad I had a buzz on, because it was about No degrees and windy. Dancing warmed us up
No champagne for me (not drinking in 2009 and so far, I'm totally keeping my resolution!) - but I had a grand old time anyway with the offspring staying up later than all the other older children and all the fireworks, and crazy fathers taking us out on the street to spit fire at midnight! Little one stayed up until one in the morning, so all smoking adults were hiding in the kitchen waiting for her to crash so that they could take over the dinner table again. I parked myself in the couch with her listening to sleeping beauty (the music is great) while she finally fell asleep in my arms. After that the party was on and adults literally danced on tables with all the kids piled into a giant bed in the bedroom. :)
