If age is just a number, then a prison cell is just a room. When they say that hangovers get worse after your mid-twenties, they’re not lying. Because, heck, they do, and a few bevvies can take a day to recover and two pills of Ibuprofen to get that clapping monkey with cymbals out of one’s head.

Okay, okay, it’s not THAT bad. Well, perhaps your knees and back don’t feel like they were when you were 18, but yakno, it’s bearable.
