Odd Things you do when Hungover

    OK so we all know we do stupid things when Drunk

    But what about when you hungover? Whats odd things do you do when hungover?

    Apart from all the obvious e.g Junk food, pain killers, What helps you get through it?

    For me, I go to the shop and stand in front of the fridge for AGES making the decision what drink I will buy. Its like a hungover OCD tick, I weigh up the pros and cons of each and every drink and come to a conclusion as to which will help me out more in my hungover state. Sometimes its dark when I get out of the shop ;)

    Another thing that I don't consciously do but more just happens when extremely hungover to me is what I could only call "Urinal Paranoia" - If "I'm going" - I get these really weird flashes that I may doing it all wrong and P1ssing in a sink or something. Can't explain it - I constantly have to tell myself "No man thats what these things are here for, Look other people are doing it"
    I can't explain it, think it has something to do with me being a little bit more out of it and more on auto-pilot then I normally would be.

    Sex usually counteracts the depression...not odd though unless you count positions...

    One time in Spain I woke up still a bit drunk with a hangover approaching. I tried to make cheese on toast using only a toaster, and I can't stand solid cheese. I ended up toasting the bread, putting cheese on it, holding the toaster upside down over it to melt it, realised heat goes upwards, put the toaster back upright, held the toast upside down over the toaster, cheese fell off. Was not happy. Ended up going out and getting a burger.

    You could've just lay the toaster on it's side and slipped the bread with cheese on it in!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,425 ✭✭✭FearDark


    I just do not function when hungover, i get hungover off 2 or 3 bottles of beer, its redicilous! I'll just lie in bed and fap until the big bad hangover is gone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    F*cking housework! I get up early and tidy for some strange reason......

    Lie on the bed/floor/couch going "oh shit I'm going to fall off I'm going to fall off oh shit oh shit"

    There was one time where I couldn't work a glove compartment as well. Just sat there staring it, knowing that I had to change the CD, knowing that the CD I wanted was in there, but powerless to do anything about it.

    I look at a lot of porn when I'm hungover.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭PatB71


    I have been known to just lie on the cold tiled bathroom floor huddled in the foetal position in my boxers which really seems to help plus I`m not too far from the great white telephone when i want to talk to God....maybe I should cut down on my alcohol intake?:confused:

    +2 I feckin hate that, I could sleep all day without a hangover but I just can't go back to sleep if I've been drinking the night before, unless I got up, had painkillers, food, gallons of water, then maybe I might get back in for another half hour.. I'm always amazed when I see people sleeping through to midday after a session.. HOW??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,455 ✭✭✭weemcd


    think about every single mistake or bad thing ive done in my life. always seem to nearly fall over putting on my trousers etc. just become a bit of a capper really


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 906 ✭✭✭big syke


    I refuse to shower. I feel like im drowning in there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,448 ✭✭✭✭Cupcake_Crisis


    Stay in bed and moan at people untill they bring me greasy hangover food that i cant eat cos im too ill. Good times :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,528 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Unless i'm badly hungover i just get on a happy buzz. Not a care in the world. Happily just lie around watching TV with a smile on my face. Boredom won't even enter my mind for the whole day.

    Vomit extremely violently.

    This more an odd thing i've done when hungover than something i do all frequently...

    Myself and the Miss L at the time went to Killarney a couple of years ago for weekend away, was supposed to be all long walks, lounging in hotel room etc.... we ended up getting hammered drunk for 3 days and eating take away chineeses in our hotel room.

    Anyhoo Sunday evening packed up the car and set off, Miss L was on the verge of vomiting on me but i thought i wasn't too bad after the weekend of debauchery...

    drove up to the first roundabout and Miss L could see my complexion change to pure white while i had pretty much a panic attack, you see i had to take the 3rd exit off the roundabout but had completely forgetten how to indicate right!! I indicated, left turned on the wipers, flashed the headlights, washed the windscreen, but to no avail i had simply forgotten how to indicate right. Scary Scary stuff!!

    And beyond!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 380 ✭✭philboy


    Wake up early, first thing is worry did I do anything bad d nite before. Spend the whole day paranoid and start getting depressed thinking about anything remotely bad that I did in the past few months. If i'm really bad think i'm getting panic attacks, especially on public transport. NOT good! I used to think it was bull that the older you get the worse they get. I've been finding out its true for the past two years. :mad:

    Always drink a big thing of Coke the next day and usually go to the shop and buy loads of chocolate and crisps to pick me up.

    I fell asleep in class three times in one day during school when I was very hungover.And a Bavaria wrapper fell out of my bag in the middle of the class.

    Go to the cinema, watch a movie, get disappointed by said movie, go home and sleep.

    Ponder looking in the mirror for a while wondering why QWERTY is on the side of my face. Then i remember that i woke up sleeping on my keyboard.....again.

    They should turn the internet off after 4am.

    I regularly wake up in the shower. Standing up with only my socks on and water in full flow. Never remember getting there. Then a few more hours sleep.

    Go to work, hide in a fitting room as much as possible and walk around talking to myself! "Oh, there you are, who put you here?!" to a pair of trousers etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    I go around and swear never to drink again usually, but then again I only get hungover when I have had a HUGE feed of Drink that involves doing inappropriate things and getting sick alot!!!

    I also swear I will never score a girl when drunk again, I look at my phone and delete strange girls numbers if I don't remember them.

    I have one number in my phone now from a girl called Gemma who I think I promised Kasabian tickets to!! I think she might be a boardsie too, so if there is a gemma out there who was promised Kasabian Tix by a Drunk Cork lad around the corner from Coppers last friday night, You ain't getting them, and did I kiss you:D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,355 ✭✭✭dyl10


    I don't know, I usually spend most of the next day looking at the lumpy, yellowed water of a toilet bowl.


  • Posts: 8,016 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Well I either drink the hangover away if possible or I go for a jog or play football to sweat it out of me, works a dream afterwards but the first half an hour is like being kicked in the face by a professional kick boxer with hammers attached to his shoes.

    Did this tonight actually. Was out in town last night extremely drunk and was hanging all day today. Played football and feeling grand now just tired :)
