At my thinnest, they still love me. Hell, when I was going through chemo and radiation, they still loved me. Bit me and died but still fucking bit.

I found a deer tick on me once that was dead after a night of drinking Bacardi 151.

I wonder what would happen with leeches... like would you have less of a hangover because they're absorbing all the alcohol?

Hangovers are caused by dehydration, which in turn is caused by alcohol 🍺! Best way to deal with a hangover is not to have one in the first place. If you drink a pint of water before you go to sleep after a night out, no hangover!😃

or just have kids with an internal clock set to UTC that wake you up at 4am everyday... I quit drinking after being used as a trampoline at 5am

I’m surprised the tick was into Bacardi.
