bickster Posted August 16, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 16, 2021 Don't really get hangovers any more, I might be a little vacant for a bit the next day but that is about the extent of it I can drink a few cans of beer, a bottle of red and maybe a couple of G&Ts over the course of a night and that's it, just a bit vacant when I get up and it's usually gone by midday I did used to suffer from them when I was younger but not to the extent that most of my mates did I can't explain it and I have no magic formula or theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mottaloo Posted August 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Can't believe i forgot this pearler of a story: Back in the late 90s i was going through a crappy divorce so a work mate said I should go out with him, his brother and their mates in tamworth. It was his brother's bird's birthday so we all met at his house and were necking loads of fruity cocktails before we headed off to their version of town (mate). Anyway....after a few of their local haunts, we eventually ended up in a nightclub (embassy ? Kube ? On the corner of a street, above a bar)....so, in the club we're drinking away and standing in a group of about 7 when my mate introduced another pal and his pal's girlfriend. I cheerily shook his hand, turned to his missus and whilst shouting "wa-HEEEEY !!!" at the top of my voice, grabbed both her boobs, then made a honk honk noise. I then finished off by giving her front bottom a playful tickle and staggered off to the toilets. On my way to the toilets, i bought a £2 bottle of hooch and told the barmaid to keep the change (from £20). I was then discovered by the bouncer 90 mins later asleep on the toilet and was gently kicked out. The next day my work mate told me that his mate had simply burst out laughing at my sexual assault on his girl; she got the hump with him and stormed off home. I blamed the cocktail mixture i had, too much too soon but as memories gradually came back to me it eventually dawned on me how close i got to getting my head kicked in or being arrested. Naturally, i never saw that lad ever again, or his missus when out in tamworth Edited August 16, 2021 by mottaloo 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the last ferocious one I had was about 25 years ago. Similar to @bicksterI can drink a fair old whack in one night and just be slightly off the pace for the first few hours of the next day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to @bicksterI can drink a fair old whack in one night and just be slightly off the pace for the first few hours of the next day. I have 2 different hangovers. The more favourable is a slight headache, the other is lying in bed vowing never to drink again. Usually goes by 1pm and then nothing. Science probably means it's me being bald and a sugar crash of some description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I’m a lucky bugger in that I hardly ever get hangovers - nowadays the worst I get is feeling totally jaded for a day. As for barfing due to drinking, I’ve barfed a lot - the worst was after lining a bar with shots of southern comfort and racing my mate to reach the middle first! I cannot drink that stuff anymore. Also drank three pints of port and re-enacted the lift scene from The Shining and once mistook my mates wardrobe for a bathroom! the best cure for the morning after is full fat Coke and a greasy KFC! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Hangovers are the reason I don't really get drunk anymore, only on occasions, parties and the like. You always know it's gone too far when you go the toilet before closing time and have time to think, "my god I'm wrecked". Then you manage to get home (some how), get into bed, the room starts spinning and you have a headache like there's an axe sticking out of it. I remember thinking one night, "I think I'm gonna need the paramedics this time, if I die I die, I've had a good night". We have all been there yeah? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I'm always impressed with my ability to get home and get to bed, even if I can't remember how I did it! Like a drunk and disgraced homing pigeon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 16, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2021 These were an absolute miracle hangover cure. Literally miraculous. They've got me out of many a hole. One of these and a short nap and you're right as rain. Unfortunately they've been discontinued These days I rely on a cocktail of paracetamol, Berocca and electrolytes. Works ok but nowhere near as good as Resolve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted August 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2021 a mate bought some of these to a stag do a few years back. drank one before bed and did actually feel ok in the morning. can't say that was a direct result of this though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
