How long does it take you to get over a nights drinking?

Ashamed to say that I'm not even right after the second day. For 6 or 7 hours 'craic', its hardly worth it!

Jim Rockford · 13-07-2014 04:31PM

Technically alcohol is a Poison, so no wonder.

muddypaws · 13-07-2014 04:32PM

It depends on your age, it takes me days now, when I was in my 20s, could go to work the next day no bother, and be productive.

Geomy · 13-07-2014 04:33PM

Anything from a few days for some to twenty year's for other's.

Half an hour. Shower, brush teeth and eat breakfast, hangover gone.

It's only a few drinks you're having, not major surgery!

Everything is a poison, all that matters is the dosage.

I'm talking about more than a few drinks, I mean going out and getting drunk

--LOS-- · 13-07-2014 04:38PM

It's so long since I drank that if I got drunk now, probably wouldn't be right for a couple days

Yeah that's what I meant too, but it's only drink. I don't spend days collapsed on the couch feeling sick, I'd just take a painkiller and get on with my day.

Ted_YNWA · 13-07-2014 04:39PM

key is not to let a hangover take affect.

Depends.

Up to five drinks, I'll slightly be feeling it all the next day but will get lots of shít done too.

Up to ten drinks, I'll be a write-off the next day and a remorseless eating machine to boot.

Ten plus drinks, it'll be a two day hangover, with very little food ingested on the first day, or whatever is ingested will be come back up. The second day, I'll still feel wrecked and will eat loads.

I'm 30 but honestly, I been like this since I was 17. If anything, my hangovers are getting slightly better with age. I attribute that to rarely drinking vodka these days.

Technically, anything is a poison. It's a matter of amounts.

Depends - a 'beer' hangover.......grand by lunchtime the next day (though not to drive!)

A wine hangover.......functional by lunchtime, pretty much ok by the following evening.

Whiskey.......I usually feel like I would be eternally grateful if someone would shoot me the next morning......I spend a few hours lying in bed waiting for the room to stop spinning and for my brain to reconnect with my legs.....

pajor · 13-07-2014 04:46PM

A full day. It's horrible really.

charlietheminxx · 13-07-2014 04:51PM

Depends on a lot of factors... What you eat the previous day, how fast you drink, what you drink...

Generally for me the recovery seems to take an hour longer for every year I age :P

SpaceTime · 13-07-2014 04:53PM

It depends.

If I drink beer about 5 days of stomach cramps.
Shots or wine : perfect next day.

So I just don't drink beer.

Galwayguy35 · 13-07-2014 04:56PM

Up to 10 years ago I could do a days graft after skullin pints and while I would know I was on the beer I could get on with it.

Now I can't handle hangovers at all, and 3 pints and I'm full.

Not that it bothers me, nothing cool about waking up feeling like death warmed over.

suicide_circus · 13-07-2014 05:01PM

Two full days was my worst. I prayed for death.

Wonder what you'd be like if you had all 3 in a night.

Depends on sex and age.

A young male say 18~25 should have no bother processing alcohol within the hour per drink from last drink rule. So typically a young male should process a 14 pint stint in about 12 hours.

Females take much longer and alcohol affects them more too per drink per drink.

Any signs of prolonged hangover are symptoms of potential alcoholism, or early symptoms of kidney or liver weakness.

Over 25 the body changes and hangovers get increasingly worse with age, it's a sign to curtail.

Penny Tration · 13-07-2014 05:12PM

Generally I'm hungover til the next afternoon, butI ddon't lie around dying. I get up early, go to work and deal with it. Didn't start getting hangovers until about a year ago.

Same. Hardly ever drink, and when I do it takes days to get over it.

I'm not even talking about being drunk either, just a couple of glasses of wine and I suffer.

biko · 13-07-2014 05:13PM

If I get really hammered on a Friday night I'm not ok until Sunday afternoon.

I find it's hierarchical! It you have any whiskey it's a whiskey hangover.

I've had a few evenings where you go for a meal and have some fine.......matters then adjourn to the pub where it's beer.......about midnight someone suggests a few whiskeys and that's where the wheels come off.

The old truism about not mixing grape and grain should be respected

If you're doing 14 pint stints on a regular basis you'll probably be needing to look out for the kidney and liver issues anyway!

I think in my case it's nothing to do with alcohol though. I can't even drink non-alcoholic beers yet, I've no hangover whatsoever with spirits or wine.

Although, some red wines seem to cause me to turn bright red for a while and get blotches all over my face and chest and sweaty.

I should just stick to vodka.

Does anyone else get that with wine?

In my early college days, I just assumed everyone had a pint and threw up and couldn't see the great attraction to the whole drinking thing. I'd spend nights in clubs in the jacks barfing after 1 pint.

Sub 10 drinks- 1 day with 2 orders to Dominos.

Over 10 drinks- 2 days with violent shakes.

How long does it take you to get over a nights drinking?
