Seriously lads have you ever met someone who drinks like mad and goes to work not a bother, is it a genetic thing that there body can process alcohol better than most

Paddy Cow · 22-01-2012 06:14PM

They're probably so used to feeling like crap that it's normal for them so they don't really notice anymore.

DrGreenthumb · 22-01-2012 06:14PM

I wouldn't go that far. A hangover is the body recovering from the damage that alcohol has done to it. Alco's get used to feeling rough and simply don't notice them as much. They do severe damage to their internal organs and can die from liver failure or other complications. They can also die if they have been abusing alcohol for years and they go off it cold turkey. Just because on the outside it might look like they are processing it better than a normal person, on the inside they are destroying themselves.

They will be drinking tomorrow too so that will get them over the hangover. Simples.

My old man is a retired baker. Drank like a fish every night, went to work every morning - then he developed diabetes plus had numerous heart attacks and a stroke. Aged 47 he had five heart attacks and a stroke in one day (No. we don't know how he survived either

but every time I have to do one of those 'do you or any member of your family' health questionnaires they always ask when he died. Then look shocked when I say he hasn't yet

).

Gave up the drink 13 years later...:rolleyes:

Still going strong aged 78 - we have a theory that there is so many things 'wrong' with him (angina, high blood pressure, diabetes etc) that his various conditions can't decide which one is going to actually kill him.

Mind you - every one of his siblings died before the age of 60 - and they were all fond of a tipple or 70 (by 'tipple' I mean 'bottle').

Just get up and drink, maybe you'll throw up but after a few you'll be motoring again.

How can you possibily have a hangover tomorrow considering you had a few cans and have now stopped? Are you 15?

Alcoholics don't get hangovers because they don't give their body enough time to get rid of the toxins. There is a stage that they reach when it is not drinking to feel drunk but drinking to function. You must have heard the stories about alcoholics who need a straw to drink their first pint in the morning because their body is literally shaking and not able to perform the simple task of lifting the pint to their lips. After that the alcohol relaxes the nervous system and normal, though less precise motor skills resume. I am sure there are far more alcoholics than we are aware. Someone who drinks everyday even after work is keeping their body topped up sufficiently.

Alcoholics do get hangovers when they stop, but these are far worse than you and I can imagine and can actually be life threatening. It can take up to weeks for the body to detox and return to normal.

Well OP, judging by that thread title, I'd say you're already hammered.

speaking of alcohol, I was reading this paper from 1974 yesterday and it gives statistics for liver cirrohsis and prosecutions for drunkeness since the 1860s, and we actually have far lower figures nowadays than we did back then. so next time you read some daily-mail-esque headline about the decline of society and how were all killing our selves with booze, remember this

Do alcoholics dont suffer hangovers ?
