Binge Drinking and Hangovers - RE-SESSION TIPS (1 Viewer)

[the strange guy]

I love getting shitfaced.

But my hangovers are getting worse with age. I'm starting
to find it hard to have a heavy Friday and then carry on
through to Saturday and maybe again on Sunday.
My current strategy is to try and bulk up and eat a filling
dinner before hitting the sups and I try to hammer down
the water before I get to sleep.
This works with varying results until Saturday afternoon
when I try to eat again.
I zonk out and just feel absolutely knackered and it's hard
to recover from - a disaster when it looks like it's going to
be a kicking night.

So what's your tips?
Are there any alco-nutritionalists that can give me tips for
maintaining optimum blood sugar levels when I'm out
necking pints?
Do you have any tips on avoiding hangovers and keeping
your energy up on marathon weekends?

(Not looking for gak advice or other non-alcoholic options!)

a friend of mine drank several bottles of some brand of "lite" beer at the weekend and claimed she had no hangover at all the next day. she said it wasnt non-alcoholic beer. maybe something along these lines might help? when i first switched to smithwicks i noticed a big improvement in my hangovers.

I only drink bottled shit mexican beer these days

the difference is amazing

I can actually function as a human being the next day

though that could be due to the piss poor quality of the beer...

It's a delicious beer, especially in hot weather.

I like to stuff pretentious looking slices of acidic fruits into the neck too

 

[therealjohnny]

me too

I'm sickening

The main rule is:

If it comes back up, no it is not re-usable. Its dead beer!
Move on!

hmmmm, whats it like pricewise over here?

 

[flashback]

sometimes... I tried having cold showers to get it out of my system.
Or jumping in the sea to try and snap out of it.
I do the same thing when I've ate too much.


I dunno if it works, but rocky shore lines + black dark night + numb feet + Atlantic + shit faced drunk == great way of almost getting yourself killed.


Ah no. Like the closest thing I can liken it to is, you know when you're hammered, and you're all over the road, and your GPS is saying "turn LEFT.... recalculating... turn right" and you're shouting at it to fuck off, and trying not to look at the pretty flashing lights on the radio, and you mill some pedestrian out of it.
You know how sober you suddenly feel?

Its a bit like that.

It's around a fiver

and more if it's a city centre pub

Quite fancypants prices usually. Sometimes you can get good deals though.

I'm willing to pay extra to reduce hangover though

Oh, and advice for getting rid of hangovers.
There are only two things that work for me.

1) Sweat the evil out. Very difficult to do if youre in bits. But go for a run or something. It will get it out of your system.

2) Jump into jaysis freezin sea. This makes me feel a hell of a lot better for a while. But doesn't actualy get anything out of your system. (cold shower doesn't shock the system enough for me)

My mates tip was always shit everything out of your system then replace the crap with a nice fruit smoothie. Get rid of the bad replace with the good. He stood by it.

I reckon it's a load of bollox.

according to various scare-mongering tv shows smoothies are liquid death that kill everyone

really? ive often paused to wonder if a healthy looking load of whizzed berries, orange, kiwi fruit etc was really doing me any good - shred the stomach off ye it would

something to do with the high sugar concentration.


Delicious sugar concentration.

3 hours of football was a monster hangover cure for me a few weeks back.
It could equally have gone horribly wrong.
