How long does it take you to get over a nights drinking?

LadyLucinda

Ashamed to say that I'm not even right after the second day. For 6 or 7 hours 'craic', its hardly worth it!

Technically alcohol is a Poison, so no wonder.

muddypaws

It depends on your age, it takes me days now, when I was in my 20s, could go to work the next day no bother, and be productive.

Geomy

Anything from a few days for some to twenty year's for other's.

Half an hour. Shower, brush teeth and eat breakfast, hangover gone.

It's only a few drinks you're having, not major surgery!

Everything is a poison, all that matters is the dosage.

I'm talking about more than a few drinks, I mean going out and getting drunk

--LOS--

It's so long since I drank that if I got drunk now, probably wouldn't be right for a couple days

Yeah that's what I meant too, but it's only drink. I don't spend days collapsed on the couch feeling sick, I'd just take a painkiller and get on with my day.

key is not to let a hangover take affect.

Depends.

Up to five drinks, I'll slightly be feeling it all the next day but will get lots of shít done too.

Up to ten drinks, I'll be a write-off the next day and a remorseless eating machine to boot.

Ten plus drinks, it'll be a two day hangover, with very little food ingested on the first day, or whatever is ingested will be come back up. The second day, I'll still feel wrecked and will eat loads.

I'm 30 but honestly, I been like this since I was 17. If anything, my hangovers are getting slightly better with age. I attribute that to rarely drinking vodka these days.

Technically, anything is a poison. It's a matter of amounts.

Depends - a 'beer' hangover.......grand by lunchtime the next day (though not to drive!)

A wine hangover.......functional by lunchtime, pretty much ok by the following evening.

Whiskey.......I usually feel like I would be eternally grateful if someone would shoot me the next morning......I spend a few hours lying in bed waiting for the room to stop spinning and for my brain to reconnect with my legs.....

pajor

A full day. It's horrible really.

charlietheminxx

Depends on a lot of factors... What you eat the previous day, how fast you drink, what you drink...

Generally for me the recovery seems to take an hour longer for every year I age :P

SpaceTime

It depends.

If I drink beer about 5 days of stomach cramps.
Shots or wine : perfect next day.

So I just don't drink beer.

Galwayguy35

Up to 10 years ago I could do a days graft after skullin pints and while I would know I was on the beer I could get on with it.

Now I can't handle hangovers at all, and 3 pints and I'm full.

Not that it bothers me, nothing cool about waking up feeling like death warmed over.

suicide_circus

Two full days was my worst. I prayed for death.

Depends on sex and age.

A young male say 18~25 should have no bother processing alcohol within the hour per drink from last drink rule. So typically a young male should process a 14 pint stint in about 12 hours.

Females take much longer and alcohol affects them more too per drink per drink.

Any signs of prolonged hangover are symptoms of potential alcoholism, or early symptoms of kidney or liver weakness.

Over 25 the body changes and hangovers get increasingly worse with age, it's a sign to curtail.

Penny Tration

Generally I'm hungover til the next afternoon, butI ddon't lie around dying. I get up early, go to work and deal with it. Didn't start getting hangovers until about a year ago.

Same. Hardly ever drink, and when I do it takes days to get over it.

I'm not even talking about being drunk either, just a couple of glasses of wine and I suffer.

biko

If I get really hammered on a Friday night I'm not ok until Sunday afternoon.

I find it's hierarchical! It you have any whiskey it's a whiskey hangover.

I've had a few evenings where you go for a meal and have some fine.......matters then adjourn to the pub where it's beer.......about midnight someone suggests a few whiskeys and that's where the wheels come off.

The old truism about not mixing grape and grain should be respected

If you're doing 14 pint stints on a regular basis you'll probably be needing to look out for the kidney and liver issues anyway!

I think in my case it's nothing to do with alcohol though. I can't even drink non-alcoholic beers yet, I've no hangover whatsoever with spirits or wine.

Although, some red wines seem to cause me to turn bright red for a while and get blotches all over my face and chest and sweaty.

I should just stick to vodka.

Does anyone else get that with wine?

In my early college days, I just assumed everyone had a pint and threw up and couldn't see the great attraction to the whole drinking thing. I'd spend nights in clubs in the jacks barfing after 1 pint.

Duff

Sub 10 drinks- 1 day with 2 orders to Dominos.

Over 10 drinks- 2 days with violent shakes.

I'm 12 weeks pregnant. It's felt like a hangover every damn day. Everything but the headache

After a big night I'll spend the morning/afternoon vomiting and then eat everything in sight. It would take me 3 days to feel normal again. My hangovers weren't so bad until I turned 25 last year and it has been downhill since then.

More or less when I was at your time of life I used to drink Hennessy Brandy ~ now mind I'd only have a few and also never seemed to suffer a hangover.

One night I was broke and my mates would not buy me the brandy but they gave me pints of Smithwicks and my head was blown off and I was total mess in the morning.

With wine I do try to stick to the red wine, a small glass a day is even beneficial.

DazMarz

Beer kills me. I can't handle the stuff at all. If I go on the piss with a rake of pints, I'm a shivering wreck the next day. And possibly the day after I'll be feeling the effects, just not as severe.

Spirits, however, especially vodka, I am more at ease with consuming all night. Yes, I'll be viciously hungover initially, but it clears quicker and it never spills into the next day.

I drank two nights in a row last weekend and have had a severe fever all week since. I'm not sure if it's the hangover from all the vodka or if I've picked up an std from having unprotected anal sex with a club girl.

JohnMearsheimer

I was out last night, first proper night out since February. I'm not a big drinker but I had 2 or 3 more than I normally would have. Recovery time was about 12 hours. I'm definitely feeling the nights out more the older I get.

Classy :rolleyes:

agriman27

How did the marching go did ya get tangoed!

allandanyways

I gave up drink a year ago and stayed off it completely for about 8 months and now I might have 2 or 3 beers when a big match is on but that's about it. I had a bit of a problem with drink and not knowing my limits and drink aggravates my anxiety more than I can handle so I just avoid it and prefer more herbal remedies

On topic though, the hangover I got giving up drink is second only to the hangover I had when I left my first job which resulted in me drinking a litre bottle of cheap Polish vodka and a bottle of Buckfast in the space of an hour. I went out in Dublin city, drank a ****load of whiskey, blacked out and woke up in the back of a horsebox in the Curragh. Took me a week and a half to feel human again and even at that, I feel I left a bit of my soul in that horsebox.

I can drink a bottle of wine on a Fri night and get up at 8am on a Sat and go to the gym for a 90 minute workout. If I drink 6 or 7 pints I would be in no state for the gym or anything else until late afternoon. Headaches and tiredness are a killer for me with a beer hangover

dgt

If I go to town on the booze I'll be a wreck the next day. But I have a small drink everyday anyway so meh

Macavity.

If I was to go out and have 4-6 pints or something I'd be grand the next day. If I'm properly drinking then anything from 24-72 hours depending on how much I've drank.

A solid two days, regardless of what I've drank.

Do you think if you had to go through the hangover before the night out that you would do it?

The beer scenario has double the alcohol so that explains the difference.

bmwguy

I'm going to go against popular opinion here and say I find it much easier to function next day now (early 30s) than I did up to my mid 20s. As a younger man I would be sick, thumping headaches and be barely functional. I dont get any of that any more justba bit tired. Tend not to drink work nights but the odd time I do my workmates cant believe I am working away no problem. Must be immune to the stuff nowadays

Im usually just tired and depressed the next day. Then very easily exhausted the day after that.
