Is there a band called that? I hope so. But I digress.

I spent yesterday night in the grip of The Fear and frankly it unnerved me. Especially as it is solely alcohol-related - I've experienced the odd 2 day speed come-down, but beer come-downs are new to me. I can handle feeling ill, I can't handle feeling a bit mad. So I put it to you, is it the case that the older you get the worse The Fear gets? When I started 'proper' drinking at 14 I barely ever even had a hangover. But now, at the age of 28 (yes I gave away my age), I'm spending most Sunday nights in the grip of wide-eyed paranoia slowly making a mental list of everything horrifically bad that could happen in the next week. I mean, it's got this bad in 14 years, what's going to happen in 40 more years? I have a glass of sherry at Christmas and spend the next 3 days hiding under the bed wearing a hat lined with tin foil?

Yeah, I'm rambling. Obviously that last can of Carlsberg on Saturday night broke my brain. So, reassure me, does anyone else get this?
