For me its about a 14 hour buzz. 1 to 2 drinks an hour starting at 10am with bloody marys. The ant acid tip was a very good one. You will be drinking things that you may never back home, and not all the alcohol is user friendly. As much water as you can down befiore bed, and four advil. As far as pre-game training, YES!
I've been told that "Chasers" work amazing. I think it's a brand name. I've never had to use them. If I feel rough in the morning I just start off with a blender drink and easy my way back into the hard stuff. *L*
Lots of water is the key for us. We started drinking XX with ice and lime a couple of years ago, and love it. Not sure how much water we get out of a glass of ice cubes, but sure think it helps. The large jugs of water in the frig are lifesavers, and really help keep us hydrated. We also down a couple of glasses of water with each meal. Does lime in our drinks count as a serving of fruit for the day :?:
The chasers though you have to take through out the evening...I guess one way to remember would be...salt-tequila-lime-chasers... :lol: D
I think I've figured out a non-kamikazi way of doing it (I'll be testing it out in Feb for our tentative March trip) Buy middle of the road whiskey and absolute rot-gut vodka or rum from Walmart (1L for $9+change stuff). Every night, take a shot of both for a month. On the weekends, add beers (multiples) to the mix and double up on the shots. with a week left, double up on the shots every day and throw in a beer or two. By the time you get there, your tolerance should be high enough that you can get through each day with a heavy buzz.
Drinks That is exactly what i have to do, This was the first i found bacardi and coke was good too, cuz you can ease your way back in, making them stronger and stronger until your back to sexy pool mode lol
That's a great post! Now you actually have it down to a science and gave this a lot of thought. That's true comitment. Cheers buddy!!!
Lots of great advice here, I have been gradually working my way back into it... so hard to train when your cooped up in the house with snow flying around all the time outside. Nothing like actually sitting outside in the hot sun and doing it, just put your head down, lean into it and go. Keeping from getting fried is a different story, Janet had a little trouble with puppies and backside getting cooked last year so hopefully we will do a little more preventative work on that this year. 6 weeks to go!!!!
Last year in the Dominican, we started every morning off poolside with a hefty dose of coffee liqueur added to our coffee! Here's hoping they have coffee liqueur at this Blue Bay too!
