Hangover advice

Thanks everyone, you are awesome.

FML: McDonalds=good meal? WUT?!

yobresal: Yes it seems like this is true.. I have always found that drinking a lot of water before you go to bed prevents any headache, eating before you drink lessens stomach aches and what you drink also changes how bad a hangover you get..

Dave: I like drinking now and then - I also go to parties, bars, clubs and so on and stay sober quite often. I think drinking experiences also vary a lot from person to person. I usually just get more happy, more energetic (which is odd since alcohol should make you tired) and nicer to people. Drinking also helps me deal with other people being drunk - some of the people I know get very annoying when they drink and if I am sober I can't take it. Some say you have a problem if you drink to get drunk, but let's face it - the large majority of people have at some point in their life had alcohol just to get drunk.

I like it when I am in the mood for it - just like I love playing with lasers when I am in the mood for it or playing computer games when I am in the mood for that. Neither of them are cheap or healthy activities but I enjoy them.

I obviously also drink because I like the taste - Beer is my favourite and I like several classic drinks and good red wine too. Champagne equally, but I rarely have enough money for a good one and if I can't get it good I don't drink it..

Murudai: I used to have it like that too. I would drink crazy amounts which could have killed some people and then wake up early next day feeling fine.. I could pour down several litres of beer in an hour, which was nice since I love beer. Suddenly a few months ago I started feeling a bit bad even when drinking only a few beers in an evening. I don't really get a headache (probably because I drink a lot of water) but my stomach just can't take it any more..

Some people will think I am pathetic or foolish for it, but I drink about twice a week.

That's just because you haven't figured out how to play with them yet. They are hilarious.

Of course you do end up being the "taxi" for many of them. However, you can ask ALL of them for some help with gas money (sometimes more than once) ;)

@ Jaseth -- the point was this. If you ease the discomfort of the cessation of any drug use by ingesting the drug again, you set up a cycle of tolerance that leads to addiction. "The hair of the dog" is just such a tolerance creating action. I am not a "tea totaler." I drink regularly. Southern Comfort over ice is my drink of choice. However, there are some easy ways to avoid the suffering you have experienced and still have fun. And believe me, a hangover is the least possible harm you can experience from alcohol.

Peace,
dave

Take it from an old pro.. Pedialyte blows away any of those remedies. I used to keep a case in the fridge at all time. 1 before you go to bed, and 1 when you get up is guaranteed, without fail, to take away your hangover.

The only true way not to get hangovers is just drink quality alcohol. Absolute being one of the best. No beer, and no mixing of alcohol.

Edit: Not liters, the 8oz sizes.

Dave: That is a very valid point and I only tried it a few times for fun to test if it worked. It does, but it is indeed a bad way of getting on top of a hangover. I usually don't drink as much as I did this time either. Sometimes I just get carried away with drinking and get way too drunk - simply because I get thirsty, I like the taste and I like always having a drink to walk around with and sip.
I wanted to know how to overcome the following hangover in the best way.. and you guys have given some good tips. :thanks:
I also know of far worse things to come from alcohol.. trust me, despite me not evening being 19 yet I have experienced my fair share..

TJ: Thanks for the tip! Do you know what that stuff is made of? It says something about a few sweeteners and a lot of electrolytes.. The label seems to suggest that it contains fruits but the decriptions suggests otherwise.

I tend to drink quality only.. which is why my budget for drinks is quite huge. However I don't think I will be able to stop drinking beer, I love beer! I have dreams about beer. I want to marry beer.

Pretty sure the electrolytes and juices is what does the trick. It allows your body to hydrate more effectively, and puts back vitamins it loses by drinking. It also works good if you vomit for whatever reason. Fast too. My doctor told me about it.

Students -- If you will observe closely you can actually see the beginning of the alcoholics' downward spiral here :beer:

Take the hit and learn from it. Your body is trying to tell you something. Trust an old man here. It is MUCH more fun (and profitable in more ways than one) to be the only sober one at the party :whistle:

Peace,

Its been like 6 years sober for me, except for a couple of drinks on holidays. I used to be drunk/buzzed everyday but somehow never turned into an alcoholic, thankfully. I got tired of being messed up all the time and just stopped. Best part of being sober is you can hit the bars around 10pm when the girls are all feeling fine, and have enough sense to find a decent one to enjoy the night with LOL. Its a lot cheaper too.
 
I was out last night as well, and after drinking way to much that I should have I woke up next to a tree a few roads away from my house remembering nothing :S

I have a killer headache, but my belly seems to be fine. I had a nice bacon and egg sandwich, a vitamin C tablet several glasses of water and I felt fine but the lingering headache is still there :(

I'm definitely not going to be drinking for a while, I'm gonna try some of Dave's advice and stay sober at the next party, probably save my self some money and also a bit more of my dignity :d
 
I passed out once sitting on the ground leaning back on a telephone poll at 3 or 4 AM. I woke up and it was sunny and people were walking around me LOL. I felt like a total loser.
 
I've only had hangover once, and I drank a beer and it was gone. I've been told hangover has much to do with the momentary addiction to the alcohol the day after you drank too much. So a beer will take it out.

My main trick to avoid the hangover is to NEVER go sleep while being drunk and to drink a lot of water before going sleeping. Also, avoid cheap drinks. Trust me that Absolut Vodka is worth the price ;)
 
Albert, as far as I know it has nothing to do with "momentary addiction". From what I have learned, the main reasons for a hangover is that:
1) Alcohol makes you pee a lot so you dehydrate. Your brain consits of a lot of water so it actually shrinks and pulls away from your skull a tiny bit, causing great pain.
2) Your liver is busy burning alcohol so you build up different poisons in your body.
3) Strong alcohol hurts your throat and stomach.. I have seen a programme where they stuck a camera inside the stomach of someone who had a couple of vodka shots - it gave him internal wounds.
4) A large amount of any liquid or food will obviously unsettle your stomach.
5) If you throw up, you will obviously lose both water, vitamins, minerals, have your throat and mouth exposed to stomach acids and other nasty stuff.

Also.. Absolut Vodka is OK but I prefer Grey Goose. However both of them give me just as much of a hangover as some cheap Polish brand. That "expensive drinks=less hangover" doesn't work for me.

I know beer and red wine give me more of a hangover though.. must be the yeast and tannins.

were you drunk when you went to the bed? I repeat this is the main trick for me :D
 
Well.. if you go out and drink, it will usually be in the evening. It will take some time to get drunk, so the bit where you are most drunk will probably peak a few hours before you go to bed, generally speaking.. If you get drunk you will most likely go drunk to bed. If you didn't go drunk to bed, you probably didn't drink very much and you will obviously not have much of a hangover.

Seb
 
Not really. I guess you'll now be a little impressed about this numbers but I swear you we all go like that here in Spain lol

The days I know I'm gonna drink I usually have dinner at 11, go out at 11.30, and start drinking at 12. I keep drinking until 2-3AM and I usually go bed at 5 or 6AM. I ensure you I'm totally or almost totally sober then :D
