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

LoanShark · 31-07-2011 09:14PM #1

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.

One can only presume that you live by the maxim " don't knock it until you've tried it"

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.

chakotha · 31-07-2011 09:36PM

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.

Yip it's the best thing for it. 3 pints and then bed where you will have a normal night's sleep

Gator · 31-07-2011 09:43PM

Dunno, but looking forward to them tomo

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 · 31-07-2011 10:52PM

Xanax if you can get it.

Gummy Panda · 31-07-2011 11:06PM

Have a fap. Dopamine release will sort you out

starlit · 31-07-2011 11:20PM

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 · 01-08-2011 12:05AM

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.
