25 - The age where hangovers get worse.

Kaneda_ · 20-08-2011 8:06pm #1

Im 25.The hangovers are worse now.The 'tiredness' lasts two days instead of one now.I used to be able to party all night,sleep,get up then do it all over again.Not anymore unless i really push myself.

Maybe im drinking more than i used to i tell myself to make me feel better,but i now better than that.

I know people are different but i think 25 is the general age going by my friends an myself?

Anyone experience this?

pragmatic1 · 20-08-2011 8:07pm

They get worse every year after 24 or 25.

Don't think they get any worse but I do think youbegin to ask yourself why would you bother killing yourself and end up writing off the next day as a result (and quite often the majority of the following week)

bigwormbundoran · 20-08-2011 8:13pm

Im only 21 and there is a marked difference btween now and at 17, I could easily, and often did, drink 7 nights a week during the summer. Now however one decent session and im wrecked for the entire next day as opposed to virtually nowt at all, and my stomach takes at least 2 days before it operates on a regular level.

Lads & ladies i know this is after hours but for your info Over the years -- slowly and insidiously -- alcohol begins to take more and more control in a subtle and stealthy manner until it finally comes to dominate all aspects of the drinker's life. The drinker may still view his drinking as a harmless relief from stress or a casual recreational activity, but gradually it can begin to affect his decisions, job, relationships, and quality of life.
Because the change is so gradual over a long period of time, few drinkers notice the point at which their drinking metamorphoses from occasional abuse into full-fledged dependence by which time your life is fcuked, cheers and have a great night :-)

Ths cycle has already played out in my life.It took 8 years and now i have transformed like a butterfly,gracefully from a young innocent teenager to a mid 20's fully fledged drinker and wife beater.

All it took was 40000 euro and abit of dedication.

I never had any problems with hangovers til i hit 35, now they are just mind blowing, i seem to be suffering exactly the way slasher decribed it. If i want to go on the piss i have to write off the next day, so before i put a drink to my lips i have to ask myself is it worth it, 9 times out of 10, it's not.

dsmythy · 20-08-2011 8:47pm

That's because all your other drinking sessions have begun impacting your health.

wait til you hit 30. then you will know what a hangover is

knird evol · 20-08-2011 9:06pm

You people are looking into the eyes of the hangover and you're flinching. You're taking a step back.
This is a death battle.
This is a battle of wills.
You look into the eyes of the Hangover. And you take a goddamn step forward.

aquaman · 20-08-2011 9:07pm

After years and years of practice I can now almost drink as much as I like in one session, practically never get sick from drinking unlike in my younger years.
The result of this champion drinking ability is earth shattering hangovers.
I decided that rather than waste all these piss ups getting wasted I'd dedicate my drinking time to science, and after several years of research I have, I believe, dispelled the theory that hangovers get worse wih age.

Several mitigating factors contribute to hangover severity,
-smoking: if you've just given up smoking, you need something to do with your hands, which generally is drink more, resulting in a more severe hangover.
Conversely, when you have been off the fags for a while in a ratarsed state conclude going back on the smokes is a sound idea, you will find that the the next day the resulting mouth like you've been sucking on one of Ghandi's flip flops has an exacerbating effect on the hangover..

Bed time: this one is a bit simpler... stay up too late, you will feel more sh1tty next day, however arrive home full of beer, go straight to bed, be prepared to suffer the next morning,
paradoxically, stay up for a period of time after finishing the imbibing and the hangover can besignificantly reduced...

But the single biggest contributer to the severity (assuming no "bad pints£ are drank) is the amount consumed.. drink enough of anything alcholic and be prepared to methaporically "die" the next day.. So as I get older and am physically able to consume more beer, my hangovers have been gettingworse..

In a nutshell I believe drink more = worse hangover

ok not rocket surgery or brain science...
now, I'm off out to get sh1t faced

Taco Corp · 20-08-2011 9:19pm

apparently milk thistle tablets are they way to go. Just picked up a packet today to try it out. Several people told me it really helps with hangovers

Sunnyisland · 20-08-2011 9:23pm

When i drank in pubs i could consume at least 11/12 pints of guinness and easily a half bottle of vodka a night/day,I could do that fri night,saturday and most of the day on sunday,I then would get the mother of all hangovers on monday and promise anyone who would listen that that was it, finished now never again, until about wednesday when i started to feel great again and by friday back to the sameo sameo, Rough circle and glad i am out of it.

Rabies · 20-08-2011 9:23pm

I find you get more sensible with age. Drink more water, pace yourself better. Still have crazy nights out but my not trying to be a cheap ass and skulling cans back at your house before going. Followed by what ever else. Nights are still expensive, but you learn to eat food before, mid way through and drink loads of water. Little or no hangover.
Right as rain the next day.

carfiosaoorl · 20-08-2011 10:05pm

I definitely got worse hangovers when I was younger than I do now sickness wise. I shuck them off easier then though and could easily go out two nights in a row, now the tiredness gets to me.

mental07 · 21-08-2011 12:12am

Just depends on what I drink; for example if I mix beer and spirits then I'm shagged, if I stick to spirits (various) I'm generally grand!

Captain Havoc · 21-08-2011 1:09am

I'm pretty fit and I notice myself much better in the mornings now than when I was on a diet of fags, pizza and booze a few years ago. Only thing though, I think I go through a sustained period of drunkenness, I'm liable to say or do anything the next day.

Was never much of a wine drinker...most wine I ever drank was from a Chinese while in Galway on the way back from Massimos & Cuba:pac: Must get myself a bottle of Bucky some night and see how that goes hah!

I'm similar enough, I get enough exercise and have a decent diet but dont smoke. Getting in some food when back home, and a nice cup of scald seems to sort me out in helping prevent a hangover.

Maybe I'm just lucky, maybe I just need to drink more wine like Slasher kindly suggested lol.

I still smoke when I go for beers, I've cut all others out (I used to be 30 a day). I love a can or two of coke the morning after, mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Well done, but actually some people enjoy drinking, maybe a lot, and it's misleading to imply that they may be having some sort of problem, as you have been doing imo.

I'm sure you had reasons for quitting, but lots of people have perfectly acceptable reasons for continuing to drink - relatively heavily, even.

barakus · 21-08-2011 2:13am

Definetely hangovers get worse, but since Ive reached 30 i no longer feel the need to drink as much as humanly possible before closing time.
Was out at a party last weekend there and left at 5 or so, came back the next day and people were still up drinking(1pm) wouldnt be able to hack that anymore

pragmatic1 · 21-08-2011 2:54am

I'd love to have the sense to stop drinking after a few but once I start theres no stop button.

Master, I had a friend in college and she said the exact same thing over and over , 'i never get a hangover' . I just presumed she was really lucky for ages until i paid a bit of attention to the way she drank.
she drank feck all on a night out, what would be your average night on the sauce and what would be your crowning achievement of piggery on the sauce when youve woken up and felt like you could get up and run ten miles?

Personally I think anyone that says ' I dont get hangovers' I reckon your just a lightweight who either doesnt have a taste for alcohol and sips to pass the night away with good friends or is too tight to get off your face..

Everyone gets hangovers. They might have more tolerance than others but if you drink enough you will be sick as a dog the next day regardless. I know someone who doesn't drink often but is a tank when it comes to the booze + doesn't get a hangover unless he goes on a mad one. His usual nights drinking would probably end me up in A&E. I have no tolerance for the sauce and get awful, awful hangovers. I am out of action the following day due to sickness in the morning and tiredness the whole day. What's worse is I'm <25 and should be in my drinking prime

Even after a few beers I feel sick some times and have to finger my oral region to sort it out :P, without being particularly drunk at all.

completly agree... you need to just pace yourself and drink a bit wiser.

i'm in china at the mo, and was drinking the local beer, 8RMB a pop for a large bottle, that's around 90c (euro)... what a bargain I thought... except for, it knocked the 5hit out of you the next day.

tsingdao on the other hand, china's best beer, has a much more milder, maningable hangover... it does cost 15RMB, around 1.60ERUO...

took me a while to figure out and accept that it was the cheap stuff doing the dammage, and, while the tsingdao is a bit more pricey, it's worth it.

and yes, drink plenty of water during and after your night, and eat food.

that said, the hangoverless ship has said for me many years ago... so, i just cant take the pi55 like i used to.. if i do, they i have to pay the piper.

Don't mean to mislead anybody and have nothing against anybody drinking but as this thread is about hangovers it means that people are poisoning & abusing there bodies and that does cause harm whether we like to admit it or not.so i am just sharing my personal knowledge on it:)

hairyslug · 21-08-2011 9:28am

You need to get yourself a couple of kids, you arrive in the door at 4 and by 630 the kids are jumping on the bed waking you up, by 7 Im up and getting on with it, find the worst thing I can do is stay in bed or bum about for the day, granted, im in bed that night the same time as the kids

Get yourself and sweat the badness out of ya
