mjmooney Posted March 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2012 We've done this before, but still. Hangovers have been the bane of my life, but on the psoitive side they probably keep me from being an alky. Because I suffer from them. Badly. Sometimes on small quantities of booze - 3 or 4 pints, say (although it's pretty unpredictable, and occasionally I get off scot free). . Effectively they fall into two categories - treatable and untreatable. With the treatable ones, my approach is some combination of: water, tea, painkillers, sleep, sex, walk in the fresh air and a fried breakfast, depending on what's available. But hair of the dog (more alcohol)? Never, ever, under any circumstances. I only have to think about booze - let alone smell it - and I'd be puking my guts up. It usually requires at least 24 hours abstinence/detox, perferably more, before I can go near a drink again. The untreatable ones don't bear thinking about. Nothing works at all, but I always lie down in a dark room and wait for it to stop - which can take a long time. It's the deepest pit of hell, and I find myself genuinely wishing for death. It's amazing that I ever drink again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we humans have evolved this wonderful ability not to learn from experience, and to be able to forget pain - otherwise no woman would ever have more than one baby.

PieFacE Posted March 11, 2012 Author VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2012 Is it better or worse when you mix drinks? Or does that just have no effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted March 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2012 Is it better or worse when you mix drinks? Or does that just have no effect?I would say worse. But it's unpredictable. maybe one time in a hundred I can drink anything and get away with it. But I prefer to stick to one thing, it's not worth the risk.

dundeevilla Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Pint of milk before bed is a failsafe way to keep the pain at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 12, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2012 If I was drunk and attempted to drink a pint of milk then the contents of my stomach would be all over my house in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever tried to find out why it effects you that way? Must be an imbalance of something surely?No, but like I say, it's quite good in a way. If I was one of those people who didn't get hangovers (or only very mild ones) I'd probably drink to a ridiculous extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMFy Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Because of Irn-Bru's miraculous "morning after" restorative qualities , a petition was placed before the Scottish Assembly to obtain Irn-Bru on the National Health but this proposal was rejected when it was realised that you would need a prescription and it would cost £6 odds per bottle! Aren't prescriptions free in Scotland? /Buzz Killington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMFy Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Get home wankered. Before bed: drink one large sugary mug of tea and take two ibuprofen. Try and eat a sandwich or something. Take a pint of water to bed. Drink a bit when you wake up through the night. In the morning: Another sugary mug of tea, more ibuprofen and cereal for breakfast. Job Done.

Designer1 Posted March 12, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2012 A sachet of that, and half an hour later you'll be fine. I'm actually worried that my body is getting some sort of overreliance on this stuff This every time. I have one before going to bed and have never had a hangover since. The blue 'Extra' sachets are particularly effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted March 12, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2012 The only one that works for me is hair of the dog, even on a bad one! A couple that never agree with me are full cooked breakfasts, which just make me feel sick, and sport/fitness of any sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Luckily I don't really get hangovers, never had a headache after a night of drinking. I don't have to do anything different from normal day living which is handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably right though, although my Mom and her side are heavy drinkers but don't really get hangovers so hoping I'm the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Get them occasionally. Usually have them if I drink shit loads of beer. If I drink vodka though, I don't get one at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
