Preparation for big day of drinking

TPD · 10-12-2012 10:44PM

A couple of McDonalds double cheeseburgers and you're good to go.

Drinking contests, the sign of a healthy relationship with alcohol. :rolleyes:

Why life line pills? Are they 'perker uppers'

Good call on the water, will have to keep that in mind and not let the machoness rule me

Good points

I think they're just supplements or something.

Just checked they have a twitter account.
Somebody tweeted this at them.

@lifeline_hd I had three glasses of wine last night I took a lifeline and I feel good this morning! #amazed

So if you're going to colour outside the lines as much as this person you're gonna want them.:p

Burgers, the Bread is good soakage too.

EAT

• A full stomach helps break down alcohol, but not because your food "soaks up" the alcohol. When you eat a big meal, your stomach's pyloric sphincter, a kind of release valve into the small intestine, closes tightly. Your body knows that you've got food that should get a good going-over in your stomach before it heads straight to the high-absorption small intestine, so it keeps it there, and the AD in your stomach has more time to work on the alcohol. Drink on an empty stomach, and the liquid quickly makes it into the small intestine, where there's more than 200 square meters of surface area for absorption into your body.

Here's a tip - man the **** up and drink.

Make sure you are wearing either a) new clothes you got for Christmas or b)a sprog of shamrocks because the only two big days of drinking I can think of are Stephen's Day or Paddy's Day!

You can get a commission-free sterling or dollars in the post office, but the exchange rate is slightly less than the bank.

you can get Milk Thistle herbal tablets at most pharmacies. These will protect your liver, and how it does that is by diverting the more harmful toxins away from your liver to your kidneys.. or so google says.

Dont mix your drinks. If your drinking red wine, stick to red. If your drinking lager, dont switch to WKDs, in fact avoid all synthetic drinks such as Smirnoff Ice, wkd, After Shock, and particularly Red Bull. Try not to over-do it on spirits. Personally I can have a good night on 6 or 7 Guinness.

Rice is a good absorbent, so a Chinese or Indian before you go out maybe

budgemook · 10-12-2012 11:18PM

Good feed before hand essential. Drink Smithwicks rather than lager. Unless you're a Guinness drinker.

Also, don't worry about it, you'll be grand.

Lifelines...are a capsule with vitamins and charcoal in them to help with something..not sure what but I don't drink with out them.

On morning of ..lets face it..Binge..

Plenty of water...not fizzy sugary drinks as these will leave you feeling worse.

Dioralyte/Rapolyte available from chemist..when you're picking up LifeLines.

Drink about two of these mixed with water.

Vitamin C...extra if you smoke..

On the night...Lifelines, two after an hour and two more later in the night.

Water regularly between drinks, throw in a Dioralyte if you can.

On return home..

A pint of water, Berrocca, Dioralyte all mixed up with an Alka Selzer for good measure...all down with a motillium. I can garantee one seriously diminished hangover.

The best way to avoid getting too drunk is to get hammered the night before.

My new lifesaver when I'm having a heavy night is 4 x 100mg spirulina pills (from the health food shop) before I head out after having a bit too eat. I imagine having another 2 4 hrs in would help too. They help me not feel tired when I'm drinking and I wake up without a headache or terrible stomach.

Good luck!

The 12 pubs challenge always ends up messy towards the end regardless, but if you feel you'll need a hand keeping up with the heavy drinkers try the following:

Nice few pints the night before, don't get destroyed but let your body know whats coming all the same.

A good dinner with a pint of milk at around 1 if your drinking at 3. You don't wanna start off stuffed or you'll be falling behind from the get go!

Avoid ice if you're on large bottles/cans of lager.

If you're struggling after 7/8 pints try a pint of water. The heroes that may give a bit of slagging will probably be sick/gone home by pub 12 so don't mind 'em.

If you can handle them, a short in the last few pubs will be easier on the stomach than that 11th or 12th pint.

It's a great night out but just keep in mind that the majority won't drink a pint in each of the 12 pubs so don't ruin a good night by trying to keep up. Have a good one!

There's always a link sale available..but that hangover cure was manufactured and tested regularly on the floor of a chain chemists I used to work in...those were the days:D

Take extacy and stick to spirits

I know you're joking, and clean mdma taken on it's own is actually relatively safe (far safer than alcohol imo)- but recommending people combine it with any other drug is quite dangerous

What the flying f__k? The drug cocktails people are recommending here could kill people, where's the moderators?

Aciiiiiiiiiiid · 11-12-2012 01:13AM

Simply, as Valium is a sedative, combining it with alcohol can lead to coma and respiratory arrest, this is a good link:

Think you might have it wrapped up there!

FrostyJack · 11-12-2012 05:03AM

Be careful with the myth of the pint of water after a skinful of pints, about 50% of the time I have seen people puke themselves in the pub after it. If you sip it, it might be ok. Generally people I know that do it are "sensible" people who think 6 pints is going on the lash. Have a big feed before hand, but not too big or you will struggle to drink and ruin your day. A quick stop into McDonalds or Burger king while passing for a quick bite will save you 4/5 hours into the session.

A good feed beforehand, drink a small glass of water after every drink and the twelve pubs of christmas will be an easy task. Well, easy if you stay to spirits. Beer is a different monster to deal with.

kumate_champ07 · 11-12-2012 06:09AM

its funny how us Irish think this is perfectly acceptable. just go at your own pace is the answer, you dont have to do a rounds system. dont give into peer pressure

Im no stranger to the odd binge session ,but unless youve had a few drinks the few nights before youre asking for trouble.

JayzuzHowiye · 11-12-2012 06:23AM

Drink a good beer like Staropramen or Erdinger, chances are you wont feel as rough the next day if you were to drink shight like Bud or Coors.
