wish there was a drink invented that gave you no hang over

I call it vodka and orange juice myself

Kopparberg mixed fruits and berries 7% cider. Goes down like a charm, and could go running the next morning (if that was your wish!)

biere de france atm. wee bottles but even after a best part of a case of them, no hangover

BadAcidStudios

beer in Germany isnt allowed have any additives or chemicals in it by LAW. Im over there all the time and never get hangovers.

The amount of **** that goes into our beer over here is crazy. The buds, heinekens and Carlsbergs that we buy here are not the same as the buds, heinekens and Carlsbergs bought there

Dave!

There is: water

There's a magic drink called water that doesn't give you hangovers. And it's refreshing!

I love not getting hangovers, although, considering I'm not working, I'm allowed to have one.... dammit, I didn't drink enough last night!

Totally agree. Never seem to get a hangover at all from screwdrivers.

be a designated driver, that'll sort you out. I was on 1 bud shandy for 2 hours last sunday

If there was no hangovers though (and I suffer really badly) then there is no reason not to go on the piss all the time aka.. do a Best on it (bad taste I know) It doesnt seem to matter what I drink im either dying the next morning (95%)or fine.

Tar.Aldarion

Well I don't get hangovers, doesn't mean I'm gonna go on the piss all the time though. The day the exams finish will be good...

ando

I hate sunday morning hangovers. My headddddddddddddddddd

Setun

Ah yes the dreaded hangover. Sometimes you get em and sometimes you don't. White Russians have been hangover free for me the last few times I've had em.

Yeah it seems to be completely arbitrary...I drank as much (or possibly more than) as I've ever done on Friday and didn't even feel the slightest hint of a hangover. Whereas other days I'd only have a couple of pints & wake up with a splitting headache :rolleyes:

It's a game of chance, a russian roullette if you will. It's when Bulmer, the mighty god of beer decides that thou art having way too much fun, and decides to smite thee, and takes thee down a notch. Watch out.

Tar.Aldarion

Luckily I must pay enough tribute too ye olde God Bulmers to soothe it's wrath

ah my f*cking head is still hurting from last night, its nearly dark again ffs

Funkstard

Last week I only had 4 cans and a few bottles of the urine labelled as Stella Artois, and I was dying the next day. Dying. Then the week before for my birthday I was mixing beer & vodka, downing all sorts and drinking way too much generally and I was fine the next day. Beggars belief tbh


Has anyone tried those hangover defence pills?

Setun

No, wouldn't trust them though.

A science teacher once told a friend of mine to drink a glass of milk before going out, said it lines the stomach etc. Chap threw up all over the shop! Bleuch.

you always think itll be SO good.. but when you start drinking at 12, and everyones wrecked from late night cramming, it just doesnt live up to expectations. one year i was hungover by 7pm

Well last year we finished at half eleven and went to the student bar next door....quite good all day.
You see your problem was that you stopped drinking and therefore got a hangover.
Also I have the fortune of not getting these mythical drinking pains I hear so much of.

jellie

ah the student bar i miss it *sob*

hopefully ill get 1 last visit on graduation night, and say my goodbyes to it..

Tar.Aldarion

Oh a NUIG graduate, at least you are finished these pesky exams...
but yes, when I go, that bar will indeed be missed, great memories.

jellie

nah, ucd. not a fantastic student bar, but there was alcohol and there was good people, which is all i require! i miss being a student, and random middle of the week drinking, and going into college hungover for that lecture you just cant miss but ending up skipping it anyway.. or just not getting up

Anto and Moe

Hangovers... cursed be the day that the lord saw fit to set those crule, mercyless creatures on the human race.

Cheap beer kills me! I know that may sound stupid but i have really noticed the difference. A brewer friend of mine explained that most cheap beer (in the states anyway, most beer is p*** here!) use corn malt instead of wheat as it is cheaper to buy in bulk. The sugar is harder to digest and so if you have a lot of it you end up with a nasty headache.

So i have been sticking to ales and dark beers since and things have gotten better!

I also see ads on the tv all the time for 'chasers' a formula that you drink before going out on the town... think it is a crock myself though!

Naos

Drink a pint of water for every few beers you have.
I do that and feel nothing in the morning apart from the tiredness..

I tried those pills last night for the first time. Didn't think of them until about 2am so I emptied the capsules into a glass of water and drank that. Wasn't hung over today but that might be something to do with getting out of bed at 4pm. And to be sure they work, you'd have to try them consistantly for a good few nights out. I think they're expensive too (got mine free!)

Naos

Those "pills" cost around 3e.
2 in a pack, you drink them within an hour of your first drink.
They are full of vitamins which help you for the morning..

Of course you cant go and get smashed thinking these will keep a lock on pandoras box..

I think you've just shown us all that its all in your head.
Yes German beer cannot contain any additives but that doesn't mean you can't import beer with additives etc.
Since all those beers you listed aren't German then I think you've shown us all that the answer of additives equals hangover is in fact not true.

Nonsense man! Myself and some drinking acquantances once tried this experiment and only drank overpriced German pilsners, and we were still dying the next day. You're not drinking enough! :v:

Goodshape

Were you in Germany at the time? The exported stuff wouldn't be the same.

Can't speak for Germany anyway, but Czech beer doesn't give you much of a hangover (and certinitly isn't 'over priced').. it's also fairly free of preservitives.

NO! i know these arent german beers but these beers are also made in germany. All of the beers above that i drank were produced in germany. the way budweiser is produced in Ireland, its not an Irish beer is it. They arent german beers but they are produced there

"I think you've just shown us all " that you jump to conclusions

Also, i was in Hamburg at the weekend again, i just came home last night. was out on a mad one all weekend and feel great today. I was drinking becks all weekend if thats of any relevance to anybody


It maybe just a personal thing but the weekend before i was dying on sunday after beeing out in dublin.

" in 1516. This decree established for the first time that only barley (later malted barley), hops and pure water could be used to brew beer. The use of yeast was not yet known at that time. The success of the fermentation process was left to chance, as the brewers unknowingly relied on yeast particles in the air. Today this Beer Purity Law is the oldest still valid food law in the world. In the eyes of the European Union, however, this law was inhibitive to competition. Now, as a result of the EU ruling, beer may be imported into Germany which was not brewed in accordance with the Beer Purity Law, as long as this fact is clearly stated.
