To be exact, it was my 39th birthday, not 40th. But I was massively drunk. In fact, I'm still quite hung over, and it's been two days! Problem was that I started a bit too early, and my pals kept giving me these strong beers throughout the evening (I even downed a glass of aquavit as if it were a shot). Several bouts of hick-ups, and I think I annoyed some of my friends by constantly claiming they were not drunk enough -- but beyond that, a good evening -- capped off by my usual rendition of "Circle of Life" at my regular karaoke place.
I'm nearing 40, but refuse to accept my age!
And yes, several julebords coming up (I'm impressed you know that tradition, Thomas! Do you have anything like that in the UK?), so I just have to recharge my party batteries.

A lot of beer, and INCREDIBLY irresponsible behaviour. I haven't been "falling down drunk", not like the way Burt Lancaster and Paul Scofield describe it in Michael Winner's incomprehensible yet professionally made SCORPIO featuring a typically striking score by the great Jerry Fielding, drawing heavily on his old bag of tricks as always, but wonderful stuff however you look at it, since I was about forty years old, although actually come to think of it I think there was once, perhaps seven or eight years ago, when I did , but it's certainly not the norm now, nor has been since 1999 or thereabouts, and it's not something I'm proud of but you're only young once. What's the name of that Scottish beer again?

Had 7 beers, on to cognac now. I'm having a difficult time at the moment, with a number of phyiscal issues (among other things), and I don't want to elaborate, sorry. But I'm enjoying a good 'binge' in my own apartment. This isn't usually accepted by society at large, but I don't care.
What about you? Any plans for the evening?
Sorry to learn of your maladies, Thor. Endure, man. Endure. 
What brand of cognac? I usually imbibe of the stuff during the Christmas holidays, along with some swell Belgian chocolates.
Nothing planned for this evening other than my usual Indian food Saturday night. I bought a Polish beer called Johannes that at the very least has an interesting-looking label (I like the beer labels with an "historical" bent).
I've been invited to a colleague's wedding in May, so whatever Lebanese alcohol--I do enjoy their Arak--is available I will let the denizens of this thread--apparently just you and I, Thor--know as to its quality.
Cheers.
