    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.

    I presume you don't get a hangover when you stay pissed.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.
