Why do we go through the horrors after a nights drinking?

LoanShark

As the title says..

I was at a wedding on friday, drank a fair good bit.

I died all day on Saturday and on Saturday Evening, I started to feel really bad emotionally... I started thinking about my dad who is six years dead,and about death in general as well as other things that totally depressed me..I could only sleep for short periods of time and would wake up in sweat and would find it hard to go back to sleep.
I dont go drinking that much but its after the big nights that I start to feel like this..Thankfully I'd have the knowledge that it is to do with the alcohol in my body and that tomorrow I will feel better.I know some of my friends have the same reaction too, and some people say at night they can feel Rats crawling all over them when they try to go to sleep..

So my question,

Does anyone know why we feel like this after a hard night on the beer.?

You've got the fear son, it happens after a good nights drinking, you'll be grand after a good nights sleep.

Got it bad on holidays recently, thought i was going to die, not a nice feeling at all, took about 3 days to fully recover, but drinking the next night eased the paranoia and panic attacks. Good times.

I don't drink alcohol, could never understand the appeal of the crap drug.

Caffeine is the best drug to take.

Earliest signs of DTs can be the three T's—temperature elevation, tremor and
tachycardia (rapid heartbeat). The affected individual can experience anxiety, restlessness, nausea, and impaired sleep. These occur because a portion of the nervous system responsible for regulating basic bodily processes, the sympathetic system, jumps into overdrive.You will be grand in a day ot two,drink plenty of liquids.Not alcohol

I have tried it enough times to know it is over rated.

How epic would life me if drink (or a massive amount of it to be exact) didnt cause such feelings of utter uafasachness.

It's best avoided by going for the soft landing. One or MAX two beers the evening after a major one to keep the heebie jeebies at bay.

Yeah, its the best, sort you out the next day.

But you can't finish on an odd number, so I'd go for four just to round it off.


Any advance on four?

celj

Xanax if you can get it.

Gummy Panda

Have a fap. Dopamine release will sort you out

starlit

Drink 8 litres of water in the day you won't get drunk proven fact! You be sober as a judge though but you won't have a sore head and hangover the next day!

df1985

Valium/Xanax is your friend. Theyre a symptom of alcohol withdrawal, not just a bad hangover.

Heh no I'm talking about medicinal best administered at home. A beer or a glass of wine. T'pub is dangerous territory when you are cured and polishing off the fourth. Hmm home? ... no contest. Beer! 5th beer and starting to feel the pulse. God bless bank holiday Sundays. What about 6?

The main reason for the pounding headache aspect of a hangover isn't poisoning, it's in fact simply dehydration.
Alcohol is a diuretic - it makes you p!ss far more often than usual and this rapidly accelerates water exhaustion. Couple this with sweating from dancing, being in a hot place, or hitting on a wetser at the bar and knowing you're failing miserably, and you have a recipe for complete and total dehydration by morning.

If you drink a pint of water in between every alcoholic drink you have - or failing that, drink a HUGE amount of water when you get home and before you go to bed - you are extremely unlikely to end up with a headache. The upset stomach is caused by other factors but to be honest, I can handle that, that doesn't bother me so much and usually doesn't last too long. I can't stand the headaches though.

Climaxing releases prolactin which actually inhibits dopamine, hence why you lose all your motivation and drive right after a fap. Prolactin also makes you feel fairly sh*te emotionally after a while.

I wouldn't recommend it at all with a hangover.

Alcohol is a harmless drug because it's legal.

But marijuana on the other hand is actually the work of satan, and kills people! Oh and it also turns you into a heroin/cocaine/crack addict after a few weeks by means of your local "drug pusher".

I've never had rats yet. I've had teeth breaking and falling out of my mouth plenty of times though. Not recommended.

cman24687

1 nights drinking isnt enough to get the horrors proper. i usually get them after at least 3 days of drinking straight all day and all night and then suddenly stop. what happens is your nervous system get used to being affected by the alcohol and becomes dependant on it and when the alcohol is taken away all your nerve synapses fire up at once and cause symptoms like shaking, sweating, extreme anxiety, low confidence and fear of impending doom, sometimes you see rats or spiders running up you bedroom wal. it really feels awful, i just got over a bad dose of them a few days ago

That was also a year ago, if he was waiting for your post he would be dead now! :P

It's very simple - drink less. Civilised continental-style drinking won't do that to you.

People who are prone to depression tend to get more severe hangovers too

Alcohol being a depressant doesn't mean it causes depression. It's a different context. It's called a depressant because it depresses excitability etc (and i don't just mean sexually).
Depressant drugs are actually taken to treat things like anxiety.

So alcohol doesn't normally make you depressed. It's most likely the lifestyle caused by the alcohol that would cause the depression.

I'd imagine the reason we feel crap after being on the drink is just because our body is exhausted and our metabolism can't keep up with breaking down the drink.

MaxSteele

The only horrors I've had are either cringy flashbacks and that one hour morning panic attack I had from hitting the Vodka and red bull a while ago.

Seriously. Pubs and clubs should not be allowed offer alcohol with energy drinks. They're heart attacks in a glass. Trust me.

Hank Scorpio

Worst dose I have ever had was after 3 days and nights of drinking, never ever doing that again. It's not possible to explain how you feel using words, the mental side of it is horrific

I wasn't right for almost a week after it

Holsten

I get terrible anxiety every single time I have a bit too much to drink.

One Xanax in the morning does the job perfectly!

I haven't had a hangover in a long time, I just sleep for 15 hours after drinking, little mouthwash and I'm feelin' fine!

lukesmom

I get the worst mind numbingly horrendous hangovers. I have literally spent 24 hours following a session, curled up on the bathroom floor begging for God to save me from the nightmare. Pure anxiety, panic attacks and puking along with other symptoms that would cause you to spend time in your bathroom. Until I found the answer - And believe me I spent years looking for a cure.

1 large pint of cold water before bed.
2 neurofen plus and 1 pint of water when I wake. Cures the headache
1 Xanax tablet 0.5mg the pink one or 2x0.25mg cures the anxiety
Fresh air and food

Will I be able to drive as well?

Anyone that takes years to figure out to drink water and have some painkillers while they're hungover... I don't know. I don't want to be really offensive so I'm at a loss. Throw in some vitamins and a coffee the day after.

cman24687

most of ye are talkin about simple hangovers after a heavy night out, this wiki article describes what you feel after you were to drink flat out for 3 days or more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_withdrawal a step on from that is the delerium tremens but which are usually only felt by serious alcoholics who stop drinking and can actualy be life threatening

stop animal cruelty
