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

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

DrGreenthumb

they just drink it off, hence why there alco's

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.

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.

yuppies

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

JONJO THE MISER

I actually never suffer a hangover after a night out but if i have a few cans at home the next day my head is pounding, i cant understand it at all.

See, you'd think that would be true, but I've actually gotten hangovers after a long day of drinking, while I'm still on the beer. Am I the only one that has happened to?

Happens to me too. Nothing worse. Sure sign of dehydration. Plenty of water and sleep cures me.

But plenty of water and sleeping don't go. You end up waking needing a pee and feeling like you've been hit by a bus and having a tongue like ghandi's flip flop. Besides, last time I had a snooze in the pub I apparently "embarrassed" everyone :rolleyes:
:P

Good question, I don't think it's as simple as they just keep drinking. I have friends who can go for days on the piss and while they get hangovers it's nothing near the torture I would feel if I went out for 3 nights running.It's just not fair, I'd love to go out drinking every night but after about 2/3 nights my voice is gone my joints are in agony and I start to freek out. I reckon it would physically be impossible for me to be an alco.

I hardly ever get hangovers, maybe it's because I am not a moan about it and just get on with it.

And Yes alcoholics do get hangovers, except there on a serious scale, sweating, face plumped up, sick etc. It's were the term, 'the curer' comes from.

I used to deal with my hangovers with alka seltzer nurofen plus and doctor pepper.
followed an hour later with a durty breakfast roll.

Took up most of me morning it did.

Im the exact same...put simply,we're f***ing lightweights! i couldnt be an alcoholic if you paid me,it can take me 2 days to fully get over a really big session...which is why i just dont drink that much anymore,i was never a great drinker but since about 25/26(im 30 now)ive been rubbish at it! i like to think its because im a fairly healthy eater and so theres a bigger difference in how i feel hungover(as opposed to people who must feel like crap most days anyway due to poor diet etc..)

i can see myself giving up drinking eventually,i love getting pissed but sweet Jesus its just not worth spending the whole next day feeling awful anymore

Deus Ex Machina

I'm an alcoholic and I do experience hangovers. If you're a topper-upper alcoholic, as in you are mildly drunk the whole time, you tend not to have hangovers as the alcohol numbs you to their effects. I binge for a few days rather than remain intoxicated on a consistent basis, so after the binge I often have a hangover.

They don't get bad hang overs but they get awful withdrawal.

I worked with a guy in a bakery who was cronic, He would send someone out around 8pm for a bottle of Jameson and a few large bottles of Guinness, drink them,cycle home and then return about 4am to turn on the ovens. Could never understand how he made it home never mind return,looking back though, he was probably never actually sober although he still managed to do his job, and the only time I ever saw him falling around drunk was late at night.
