New thread edition.

So I've had nosebleeds 3 mornings in a row now after drinking at night. It is below zero weather here. Besides the cold weather can these nosebleeds be caused by my blood being too thin from alcohol, or do they happen because I've sobered up too much, or either?

could be the dry weather
could be high blood pressure
could be ebola

I don't have anything to measure my bloodpressure in the house, but I monitor my pulse a lot and it seems to be of a pretty consistent force against my fingers as well as a consistent rate most of the time.

I think it's from literally drying out. It has been frigid here for weeks and my wood stoves have been going full tilt for the whole time. Heat without humidity will do that.

I run a humidifier in my living room where I spend the most of my time pretty much 24/7. I even steam up the showers for a few minutes sometimes. I've used salene spray in my nose like once a day but I don't overuse it because that can actually dry you out too.
It's like a few hours after I wake up and I haven't had anything to drink yet, I have gotten a nosebleed I can stop in about like less than 5 minutes and it stays gone (luckily) even after I start drinking.

who's drinking what today and when do you usually start, and how's life?

Bud and Ice 101. Redneck as fuck, I know. But I have spent the day stoking wood stoves and trying to make sure my chickens and ducks stay alive in -30 degree wind chills.

Life is good.

congratz you've contracted ebola

I've been drinking 5% hard seltzer waters because my days of hard liquor smashing are behind me, they just simply are. I'll have a real drink if I'm at a bar or something, but the cost of it forces me into not drinking too much. I don't buy actual liquor for the house at all anymore.
Don't have a job right now so I usually start at 11 or noon everyday and cruise evenly.
