    I'm actually drinking Aldi tea. McGraths it's called. It has a very strange taste, I think it's spiced. But it shouldn't be spiced cos it's only normal tae.

    Its actually impossible to leave a pub in Ireland after only drinking 2 pints. Go on, try it some time. People just don't allow it. When you tell them you want to leave they look at you like your scum then they decide that your just not leaving and buy you another drink. The only way you can leave is by going to the toilet, jumping out the window and then legging it home.

    It's easy to say go for the cure but there's a fine line between waking up sick and starting again, and waking up so sick that a glass of water makes you puke til your balls hurt from heaving

    All the blood is being diverted to your organs to keep you alive. Half the blood in your body is down trying to rescue your frazzled liver!!

    Your liver is banjaxed. Bye bye.
    Agreed - I suspect you're jaundiced and your liver has gone on strike. Have a look at your eyes in the mirror: any yellow? If it doesn't get better in a few days, you may want to seek medical attention.

    Government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the people has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence.

    I remember being so hungover once the i couldn't stand up. If i stood up u poked. I wasn't right for about a week. Ill never forget that hangover, it was traumatic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,291 ✭✭✭wild_cat


    Man up.

    A sachet of dioralyte, a motillium, a pint of water and a sausage sandwich with a coffee followed by two nurofen and your on the go once more!

    That was me last weekend...not a pretty sight! Was one of the worst almighty of hangovers....getting old me thinks. I say you be out again before long! Won't last you be back to square one in no time! Despite drinking loads of water still didn't work, hair of the dog didn't work, time is of the essence! If you have to use a computer or transport or a phone think you be still seeing double and not able to function, think sleep is the best medicine worked for me!:cool:

    if it was your liver you'd be yellow, not greeny yellow. and if you were yellow it'd mean your liver's failing, and you'd have more things to worry about.

    No, you can turn green with liver problems too - especially when related to alcohol abuse. I've got bad news for you OP...

    Simple fix is dont drink so much. If you wanna spend all your money drinking to excess then expect to feel like ****e in the mornin. There is an overwhelming consensus in Ireland that people should get hammered and that its the only valid thing to do at the weekend. I'm sure its the same in other countries and not unique to Ireland but I just dont understand it.

    I hate being hungover, I hate being so drunk I cant stand, I hate makin an idiot of myself and I hate spending a small fortune to achieve it so I dont get hammered. I feel grand after a night out, I havent squandered what few euro I had and I have the day before me to spend doing something other than wallowing in self pity.

    This happened to me some weeks ago and I know how you feel.
    Nothing worse than being too tired to sleep and too tired to stay awake.
    Best thing to do is drink lots of water and tea and take two Nurofen and just rest. Oh and don't do it again :D

    I swear there's a greenish yellow tinge to my face, and my eyes are hanging out of me. And it's exacerbated by the miserable grey murkiness of the weather I look like a corpse. Why the hell do we drink so much that it changes the structure of our faces? Can we not just be like normal Europeans and have 2 beers and converse for the whole night in an orderly manner. Why do we always have to get in bits? Is it only Ireland that does this? I'm actually drinking a pint of tea in bed. Too hungover to sleep too hungover to stay awake.

    Great you made it home. Having just worked a 24hr shift in a hospital, we ended up with the vomiting stragglers +/- their broken jaws. "But I'm supposed to be going to Lanzarote on Monday!". I'm wrecked too!

    I actually don't know how A & E staff deal with that kind of thing at all. Fair play to you!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    OP if you're actually that bad stop drinking tea and drink lots of water.

    Oh, oh, oh......no praise for me thank you. Keep that for the often abused ambulance personnell on the streets; The Shopkeepers whose livelihood is urinated on; The Guards who get spat on (better than stabbing.....well, sometimes); The grieving families; The mainly Polish cleaners who clean our vomit and security guards who protect me (all minimally paid); The sick people in the waiting room (Note: It's the quiet ones who are sick); Their angry relatives; Sick tourists wittnessing proceedings; The tax-payers (Oh, that's me!); Employers; Need I go on?

    You're doing it wrong then.

    The yellow-green colour is cause for concern. Drink as much cranberry juice as you possibly can for the next few days. Try to stay away from paracetamol etc as this is tough on your liver too. Eat healthy food without chemicals for a few days as well, and your liver might forgive you...

    You're your own person. If you want to leave then leave.

    If they buy you a pint everytime you try to leave, sounds like a cheap night for you...
