Dead To Me drink scene two women going out partying alcohol

Are there four hundred fourteen little wines again tonight as if it were water? Don't worry, it's good for your sex life.

Because when we have a hangover, we all feel more like making love. This definitely applies to women. That's because your hangover makes you float in a kind of haze, a sort of daze. That's exactly what alcohol does, and when you're hungover, that alcohol is still in your body. That haze feels like we can handle anything, like nothing is too crazy. So why not a little wild poses in the shower? Additionally, alcohol often gives a bit of extra confidence, making us women quicker to dive into a split on our guy .

Of course, that whole hangover also contributes to a better sex life simply because you don't want to get out of bed. Your head is pounding, you see stars flying, you have a dead bird fluttering in your throat, and you can't even get a sip of water down. You're begging for Advil, nothing more. Ah, the fun of the partying life. But because of this, you unknowingly linger in bed longer. You suddenly sleep in until you weigh a ton. And well, when you hang out in bed for a long time, panting and sighing, you find each other under those sheets. But first, that Advil please.

The last point, you may have noticed: you feel a bit more unstable when you're hungover. A lot more unstable. Everything is emotional. In other words: tears streaming down your face at the sight of an action movie. Sobbing when your mom texts you an ‘X’. And that's why you're looking for even more attention, more validation, and more love throughout that whole hungover day. And what is more intimate and more of a confirmation than sex? Exactly. Besides the fact that it's always fun, that romp on a hungover day is even better. Thanks to sex, the substance endorphin is released in your brain, giving you a feeling of happiness. We could use that at a moment when life seems to consist of waves of nausea.

Well, hop, take advantage of it: twist quickly into that split, spagat, and doggy. And if you're fit today; remember that in five days it will be Friday . In other words: there will be plenty of new opportunities to score those four hundred fourteen little wines somewhere.
