    That depends, how big is your purse? Really, remember to hydrate is the main point but something with electrolytes goes farther because booze makes your body ditch your hydration like crazy and when I'm drunk I will refuse to drink water because water is suddenly lame to me, but happily suck down lemon lime gatorade or fruit punch pedialyte haha. Mind you, I have shown up to a bar with pedialyte poking out of my purse and not given 2 shits about it. Better to seem a little strange than wake up with a migraine!

    I'm a hot mess, so I don't bring a purse to the bar. I leave accessories behind constantly. If it doesn't fit in my coat, pockets or bra, it stays home.

    Also, water is always lame. It needs taste. And carbonation. And caffeine. And alcohol. Ok, so it should really just be coffee or beer.

    I was cheering, "More vodka please!" and making finger guns at the waitress complete with pew pews to thank her for prompt refills last night, so I totally get the hot mess part.

    For future reference, powdered Gatorade and powdered Pedialyte tastes pretty good and obvs keep for a long time! I keep it in my cabinet for the inevitable moment I'm dehydrated and too lazy to go to the store which is all the time because I'm a slacker Bird. Have fun! Drink water even if it's hella lame! Your kidneys and brain space will thank you in the morning. (In case anyone doesn't know this, a good estimation is a glass of water per drink, theoretically between booze drinks but at the very least before you go to sleep and definitely drink water before your fun time adult drinking begins, and as tempting as it is, avoid caffeine with your booze cause that'll make your tummy far more grumpy! This has been a message of love from the Bird.) :emoji_kissing_heart:

    When you get old you just give up and look for mass-produced American lite beer, which has a high water content, is cheap, consistent, not horrifying, and doesn't give you a migraine, and you can get blackout drunk on it if you keep it up a good 12 hours or so!

    Just kidding I don't drink more than a few hours but the rest holds true.

    I'm telling you, "sex" is (Listy excepted) as sure a predictor of a shitty hit as "fun" is. From a HIT worth $0.00: "I’m currently conducting a study for my doctoral thesis that explores the relationship between individuals’ ideology of man and masculinity with their opinion on sex and intimacy. The survey will take approximately 25-30 minutes to complete. There will be a chance to win a $20 Amazon gift card for completing the survey (1 in 300)."

    And a pint-glass full of water, one sugar packet, some table salt, and a little lemon juice is nothing if not superior to pedialyte or gatorade.

    I get massive migraines from cheap beer and red wine, which still hasn't stopped me from drinking it when it's free at the airport. If you want to diy an electrolyte replacer I would massively recommend magnesium, calcium, and potassium in the mix because that is a large factor on top of the salt and sugar. You would want to use a good amount of potassium rich juice for sure. Obvs any hydration is good hydration, but if you're going for a comparable replacement to a Pedialyte you'd also want those things (also something like sea salt, honey, ginger is a good add on!). Huzzah gi disorders and the need for constant hydration else I would perish!

    What the actual fuck Plex.. did you seriously make the web client even worse? Now it is ugly.. removed my precious background art (well at least from the web client view) (@Melting Glacier knows what I'm talking about) and adding loading times without having thumbnail cache enabled..

    Well I'm more of a Busch Light person myself. I've been through all of my micros/crafts, which are more likely to have the low water content and methanol which gives hangovers.

    Give me $7.99/12pk mass-industrial beer with the methanol leached out in a 55,000 gallon vat. No craft brewery can match that. (I still like Two Hearted).

    @ChrisTurk

    So.. I haven't seen this bug on the forums before...
    It isn't supposed to be playing this fast... click it to see what it is supposed to look like.

    Here is another gfycat that doesn't have that issue.

    Weird bug :dunno:
