I know it's part of the work culture, but I don't know how they do it. I'd be useless at work if I had a hangover.

I know. I can't and won't do it. It's just too tiring to even enjoy a 6 pack on a week night so I don't do it anymore. And then I like to go back to bed until noon after having some aspirin, spam, eggs, and juice. It's really hard on your health to burn the candle at both ends.

I told myself I wasn't going to drink anymore on weeknights and it lasted for a good month and I felt great. Then I slowly started drinking again and lately I have felt like crap. No energy and depending on how late I drank the night before I'm usually nautious until early afternoon.

I just get bored sometimes and Xbox live is more fun when you taunt little kids when you're tipsy. I should probably slow it down a bit.

I will never understand why some people stay out drinking until the early morning hours, knowing full well that they have to be at work in a few more hours. I have worked with teachers who did this. Not only do I find it unprofessional and disrespectful to the employer and the students, I just don't understand why someone would knowingly put themselves through such misery. Why, why, why would you knowingly drink yourself into a stupor knowing what will follow the next morning??!!

Ah, weeknight drinking. The one aspect I miss about hagwon life and showing up at 2 for work.
