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

I'm 12 weeks pregnant. It's felt like a hangover every damn day. Everything but the headache

After a big night I'll spend the morning/afternoon vomiting and then eat everything in sight. It would take me 3 days to feel normal again. My hangovers weren't so bad until I turned 25 last year and it has been downhill since then.

More or less when I was at your time of life I used to drink Hennessy Brandy ~ now mind I'd only have a few and also never seemed to suffer a hangover.

One night I was broke and my mates would not buy me the brandy but they gave me pints of Smithwicks and my head was blown off and I was total mess in the morning.

With wine I do try to stick to the red wine, a small glass a day is even beneficial.

Beer kills me. I can't handle the stuff at all. If I go on the piss with a rake of pints, I'm a shivering wreck the next day. And possibly the day after I'll be feeling the effects, just not as severe.

Spirits, however, especially vodka, I am more at ease with consuming all night. Yes, I'll be viciously hungover initially, but it clears quicker and it never spills into the next day.

I drank two nights in a row last weekend and have had a severe fever all week since. I'm not sure if it's the hangover from all the vodka or if I've picked up an std from having unprotected anal sex with a club girl.

JohnMearsheimer · 13-07-2014 05:56PM

I was out last night, first proper night out since February. I'm not a big drinker but I had 2 or 3 more than I normally would have. Recovery time was about 12 hours. I'm definitely feeling the nights out more the older I get.

I gave up drink a year ago and stayed off it completely for about 8 months and now I might have 2 or 3 beers when a big match is on but that's about it. I had a bit of a problem with drink and not knowing my limits and drink aggravates my anxiety more than I can handle so I just avoid it and prefer more herbal remedies

On topic though, the hangover I got giving up drink is second only to the hangover I had when I left my first job which resulted in me drinking a litre bottle of cheap Polish vodka and a bottle of Buckfast in the space of an hour. I went out in Dublin city, drank a ****load of whiskey, blacked out and woke up in the back of a horsebox in the Curragh. Took me a week and a half to feel human again and even at that, I feel I left a bit of my soul in that horsebox.

I can drink a bottle of wine on a Fri night and get up at 8am on a Sat and go to the gym for a 90 minute workout. If I drink 6 or 7 pints I would be in no state for the gym or anything else until late afternoon. Headaches and tiredness are a killer for me with a beer hangover

dgt · 13-07-2014 07:26PM

If I go to town on the booze I'll be a wreck the next day. But I have a small drink everyday anyway so meh

Macavity. · 13-07-2014 07:28PM

If I was to go out and have 4-6 pints or something I'd be grand the next day. If I'm properly drinking then anything from 24-72 hours depending on how much I've drank.

Eimear811 · 13-07-2014 07:51PM

A solid two days, regardless of what I've drank.

Do you think if you had to go through the hangover before the night out that you would do it?

The beer scenario has double the alcohol so that explains the difference.

bmwguy · 13-07-2014 07:59PM

I'm going to go against popular opinion here and say I find it much easier to function next day now (early 30s) than I did up to my mid 20s. As a younger man I would be sick, thumping headaches and be barely functional. I dont get any of that any more justba bit tired. Tend not to drink work nights but the odd time I do my workmates cant believe I am working away no problem. Must be immune to the stuff nowadays

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?

TGJD · 13-07-2014 09:05PM

Im usually just tired and depressed the next day. Then very easily exhausted the day after that.

SeaFields · 13-07-2014 09:22PM

It depends on a few things. If I am after a hard days work or haven't eaten well before going out I'll have a brutal hangover the next day that won't lift til evening.

If I'm after a relaxing day beforehand and a good bite to eat before heading out, I'll be nothing more than tired after it. This also means i almost never get a hangover on holidays.

newbee22 · 13-07-2014 09:44PM

When I was in my early 20s I didn't get hangovers at all, could function perfectly the next day. Now it takes at least 3 days to get back to normal, so I don't drink that often anymore.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 13-07-2014 10:01PM

Physically I'm generally OK by the afternoon-ish, mentally I'm a write off for the whole day. I'm 25 now and I do notice they're starting to get worse, and I get them easier. I had two measly cans of some crappy beer last week and woke up with a headache, used to bounce out of bed after a bottle of wine plus pints. It's grand though, just means spending more money on nicer drink.

AryaStark · 13-07-2014 10:03PM

I cant drink spirits anymore! It would take me until the third day to feel better. At 35 a bottle of wine has me drunk and hungover until the next afternoon!
10 years ago I could mix wine and spirits and head into work for 9am!!!

fussyonion · 13-07-2014 10:49PM

A bottle of wine-fine.
Eight bottles of Bulmers-fine.
If I mix my drinks-absolutely hanging the next day.

stateofflux · 13-07-2014 10:58PM

Sunday is usually a write off. ...a winning stay in bed all day, xbox , porn and pizza write off..

Deano7 · 13-07-2014 11:10PM

If I drink beer or wine I'm grand but if I have a lot of spirits I could be recovering all day.
As u get older the hangovers do get worse but if you drink plenty of water before u sleep that night it makes the hangover easier.

mikeyjames9 · 13-07-2014 11:13PM

very little hangover trouble

awful depression after heavy drinking

Resisting the urge to do drunk-eating helps a lot too, I find. Not sure if that's because when I drunk-eat it's usually crap food and I'm giving myself a food hangover too or if it's something else.
