I will never again mix the following drinks in one evening (for reasons that are obvious to anyone who has drinking experience): Tom Collins (2), red wine (unknown quantity -- waiters surreptitiously refilled glass when not looking), swimming pool sized frozen margarita (1/2), and Singapore Sling (1). I think I can safely swear never to drink a Singapore Sling again under any circumstances.
I had limited drinking experience before I was a summer associate and thus had never heard of the "don't mix different alcohols" rule. I also didn't know what kind of drinks I'd like and ordered things randomly. The predictable results led to a vow never to have a hangover again. With a couple of very minor exceptions, this is a vow I've kept. I hate headaches and I hate feeling nauseous (or worse) even more and going past my limit has never made me feel good enough to suffer both together.
If I had a lick of sense, I'd never again tell the head of my practice group that he did not have the birdie he was gloating about and in fact he had a double bogey because the white fence he moved his ball in front of was an OB marker (the large letters OUT OF BOUND painted thereon seemed to escape his notice) not a man-made immovable obstruction.
