Hangovers....

frobisher · 01-05-2006 09:34AM #1

How do you feel after a night of drinking? I don't mean 2 or 3 pints down in the local. I mean a full night out from pub to club to party, the kind of thing where you drink quite a bit.
I've always been well able to mix it up with the bast of them but I'm really noticing these days that I feel like sh*t the next day. Even when the actual physical hangover passes my head is still wrecked, I feel down and just want o hide on the sofa watching DVDs for the day! Although with my 33rd birthday coming up maybe It's just getting old!:eek:

Depends on what I'm drinking really! I can drink bourbons and never get a hangover, wines and be ill all day, some beers and stay in bed all day, or vodka and never come home!

I'm usually grand if I mix bourbons and beers though.

Best idea is to eat loads of toast when ya get home. Always works for me!

You mean you dont feel like that ieveryday?

The worst advice I ever got about hangovers was from my cousin.

'When you get home after a feed of pints, open up a bottle of red wine and skull as much of it down as possible'.

Attol · 01-05-2006 10:28AM

Don't tell me you actually followed through with that advice?

How the **** is that logical??

Down a pint of water or two usually, because sometimes I just wake up really early a bit dehydrated.

casanova_kid · 01-05-2006 10:33AM

lots of fruit before you go to bed is the best cure.

Keep drinking, then you don't get hungover.

Works for me.

ties in perfectly with the wine thing

drink some water, and have an obligatory raid on the fridge (or mcdonald's) and fill up on sugar/salt etc.

i don't suffer from hangovers anyway, but everyone i've told to do this has reported back positive results.

on the morning after i'm just tired more then anything

It really varies.
Taking me and two of the people living with me now on a scale, just as they are in my line of sight.
Guy:Gets really really bad ones and can barely get out of bed for work at 5pm
Girl:not as bad but around average.
me:I never get any. Fresh as a daisy when I wake up, which is always oddly early too.

All I know is that I count my blessings.

mad m · 01-05-2006 11:47AM

One you hit your thirties in my opinion your better off not drinking at all....Well maybe a few scoops but leave it to the teeny boppers.:)

Devious · 01-05-2006 11:52AM

Well it all depends on the voulume of drink consumed , doesnt it? To those people who say they dont get any hangovers, how much are you drinking? Because il GUARANTEE you after drinking, say 15+ pints in a night and god knows what else, you'l feel like youv stepped in to the ninth circle of hell the next day! :-)

wheres me jumpa · 01-05-2006 11:56AM

I get some horrible hangovers. Very unpredictable too, could have just a few beers and the next day im hungover! Went demento last night and feel ok today, so i never make plans for the next day.

For those of you suffering might I suggest the best breakfast ever which i just had.....

Potatoe waffle(birdseye of course!), fried egg and fried ham all on tp of eachother..........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Funkstard · 01-05-2006 12:01PM

I just (If I can....I don't usually get so drunk that I KO) wait until i'm sober and force 3 or 4 pints of water into me before going to bed. That coupled with not getting up until 1 or 2 the next day means I'm pretty much always fine.

Even when I'm hammered I know when to stop drinking because of the possibility of a hangover. I've had a few that I'll never forget, and they scared me or something

Nope, believe me, my friends have got me to try that and see. Then I went out and started off with two naggins the next night while their hands shook as they reached for their first pint...at which stage I was called a lucky asshole.

I talked to the statues both nights on shop street in galway, apparently I traumatised them.

Does it depend on what you drink?
I drink primarily bulmers. Then from the following; devils bit, lindon village, vodka, southern comfort, JD and sambucha.

Moved on from beer at a young enough age, now I can't stand it.

Edit

It must be the elusive sligo gene.

No that was an exception as it was a twenty first. I rarely drink that much, actually haven't drank in like a month at the least now come to think of it, and my liver is perfectly healthy. I have to have routine check ups on it for reasons.

No - but my cousin's younger brother did.

He said he 'felt like sh*t' the following day.

He's very gullible though. Back in the early 1980s he had a toothache (caused by a filling that had partly fallen out / nerve exposed etc) so I told him to chew on a piece of tinfoil to ease the pain. He fell for it.:D

Faith · 01-05-2006 01:12PM

If I've a bad hangover, I feel like killing myself to make it go away. I honestly wonder whether I'm in hell.

If it's a medium hangover, I just lie on the couch for the day and moan.

If it's a light hangover, a cup of tea and two slices of toast does the trick, and I'm good to go!

Jumping up and down a lot usually works....
and um... drinking a large glass of um... vinegar!!!

ntlbell · 01-05-2006 02:34PM

If it's a day like today where you're not in work there's only one answer.....go for a few pints....problems solved!

easy_as_easy · 01-05-2006 02:39PM

a trip to the lovin' spoon can cure almost any hangover!

eirebhoy · 02-05-2006 10:57AM

My hangovers last for a couple of days after 2 or 3 nights drinking. I was out on Saturday and Sunday night and my body still aches this morning. I'm also not in a great mood. This is after spending yesterday in bed watching the snooker. It just drains me out. I can't see myself giving it up but maybe I'll give up the spirits at the end of the night.

luckat · 02-05-2006 11:21AM

Frobisher, your body is sending you a message. "**** off and stop abusing me, stupid" is the loose translation. "Grow up, time to give up the mad drinking" is another. And your body is telling its parts: "Come in liver, your time is up..."

xzanti · 02-05-2006 11:24AM

I find if I have a few drinks having not drank for a few days prior I get terrible hangovers... I had a few drinks on Thursday and came into work dying, then Friday night I drank again, probably more than Thursday and Saturday morning I was fine... Suppose you just get immune to it really.. I do anyway :rolleyes:

ferdi · 02-05-2006 01:02PM

food is the cure

kabab before bed = breakfast roll the next morning

Spalk0 · 02-05-2006 01:22PM

Ok well if i stick to the beer only my hangovers are grand, in fact id barely get any!

If i decide to live a little when im out and start hitting the shorts(after too many pints) then i really feel it the next day and not sure where im at.

But...

If i get stupid drunk and turn to drinking wine(cause there aint anything else to drink) i feel like my head has been caught between automated doors for the entire night

Hangovers....
