i hate alcohol

[otter]

anyone know of any good hang over remidies?

[JamesZero]

A fry up...

and drink plenty of water!

[piccolo]

I like Whittards hangover tea (it's basically raspberry and echinacea) :yum: or for some reason recently I've been eating Walker's Lime and Thai Spices crisps, which seems to work. But I am addicted to them.

Start with water!

Yeah, in fact about a year ago I used to be a heavy drinker on weekends. The next day I would be back to normal and go to the gym.

I was drinking bottles of red square at the weekend, and the only side I got was insomnia from the caffeine.

Guess I am just lucky. :cool:

[briggi]

A can of Irn-Bru and a packet of Space Raiders. Never fails.

:yes: Irn Bru does the trick, everytime.

My hangover crisp preference is S&V Squares.

Knock down 10 pints then you will have a hangover :razz:

no but i mean compared to other substances. i feel really ill and throw up when i have an alcohol hangover but i just feel a bit sick a day or 2 later with anything else. no paranoia either.

well try mixing vodka and wine then!

[HIT]

Been there done that, go the handcuffs. :razz:

[Bri-namite]

I'm not drinking again for a loing, long time :sour:

[Kermit]

You didn't embarrass yourself did you Bri?:p

I don't tend to get hangovers, and yes I do drink. I normally have a pint of water before bed and another when I get up in the morning, normally does the trick. The big problem I suffer from is havign a really dry mouth.

[budda]

The older I get and the less I drink the less I can deal with the after effects, the last few hangovers I've had have been dire. But then I do have a bad habit of not drinking at all for a few weeks, then necking back far too much in one go.

[Bri-namite]

You didn't embarrass yourself did you Bri?:p


Thank Christ for the edit button, it's almost like the drunken rampage across the boards never happened :o

[Littleali]

a twister or calypo ice lolly does the trick for me :)

[lucifer devil]

i get really bad hangovers too. even if i don't drink much.

i've been out before and only had say 1 drink and felt rough the next day - i think a lot of it is all of the smoke coupled with tiredness.

Im like that now days! I used to be able to go out, get wankered... be in bed at 3am, and get up for work the next day at 7:30 feeling fine!

Now even if i just go out for a few drinks I feel rough the next day. When I go out on a proper bender its horrible after! :(

[Addict]

hair of the dog?

if not, i've found that lucozade or beechams flu plus work a treat.

[JamesZero]

hair of the dog?

Actually im supprised no one has said that already! You cant beat hair of the dog for curing a hangover!

Only problem is it leaves you even worse after the second time!

[VinylVicky]

a scientist once told me a mars bar, a can of diet coke and something elsethat I forgot was the best thing......

I have heard that, but I cant remember why.

[lipsy]

and something elsethat I forgot was the best thing......
lol

[briggi]

A right good seeing to always seems to sort a hangover out, too. But there's always the question of whether or not you can be arsed, as I am often too full of self-pity/loathing to even contemplate it :p

[VinylVicky]

I have heard that, but I cant remember why.
you can't remember why you have heard it?

[smitherz]

you can't remember why you have heard it?

he can't remember why it works

[Shogun]

A shower,something to eat it if you can handle it and then another pint.

Prevention rather than cure is better though, drink water before you go to bed.

[Skive]

I don't get hangovers so much anymore, I just feel a bit sketchy the next day. I always make sure I drink enough water before I sober up though.

[i_am_bex]

sleep and plenty of water and coffee. but mainly sleep and a couple of nurofen.

[Simba T Lion]

I learned at the Guinness mueseum that coffee=bad and eggs=good for hangovers.

Coffee contains caffeine, which is a stimulant and therefore helps fight fatigue. But when the caffeine wears off, a drinker may be even more tired than before. It can help alleviate a pounding head because caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, meaning it reduces the size of blood vessels. This counteracts the effect of the alcohol, which makes them swell, making the head hurt in the first place. Unfortunately, caffeine is also a diuretic like alcohol and can make a drinker even more dehydrated than before, thereby increasing the severity of the hangover. Overall, coffee is not a good hangover cure.

I also find comfort in gatoraid and mcdonalds french fries.

[Yerascrote]

Drink water before going to bed.

I find a bacon butty always goes down well on a hangover. Don't get hangovers much myself, bit tired and disoriontated just.

[otter]

I learned at the Guinness mueseum
omg guiness have a museum? !!!!!!!!!!!

so, anyway, i figured today, lots of water, chips and lucozade actually worked quite well. - which i'll have to remember in the future.
still feel really rough.

[otter]

Nothing works quite as well as hair of the dog....but you've got to be able to stomach it and keep it down, which I never could :razz:
what is hair of the dog?

[sophia]

.

[wooooooooah]

Another alcoholic drink, preferably the same thing you got pissed on the night before.

If you can manage it, you feel right as rain. Sadly, it makes me want to hurl :o
The first pint in the morning is always gross, but it picks up after that!

[LadyJade]

Hair of the dog works because you are topping up your levels again, but it is quite a harsh thing to do to your body and only prolongs your hangover over a greater length of time.

[VinylVicky]

White wine gives me the biggest hangover in the world yet I could easily sink shed loads of Cava (which I do wuite often on a schoole night)and still be bright and breezy for work etc.
Last night, me and my friend got through 4 bottles and I feel super.

[Yerascrote]

Not if you constantly stay drunk! ;)

Fuck it I'm getting pissed tonight! Yip ya! :yippe:

[Addict]

hair of the dog, from the bitch that bit you ;)

[playdead]

i never get hangovers i just wake up in the night dying for water, get some and i'm alright:)
yay!
apprently if you drink water through the night you won't get a hangover but who really rembers to drink water while they're drunk?!
i hate how alcohol always makes me really depressed by the end of the evening...

[katralla]

hangovers suck. I get em baaaad. Water, codeine and sleep are my remedies.

[purplebutterfly]

Loads of fluids and bacon sarnies go down very well. Nookie is good fun as well but when you both tired and have headaches its not always possible.

[lipsy]

i feel like absolute shit. think im having my first come down. i usually feel great the next day... not now :(

[Yerascrote]

it was worth it though, i had a fantastic night :D

[princessamy]

I do. I drink more water when I go out than alcohol generally, at least once the night wears on a bit. And then I drink more before bed. Often have some food too.

And I STILL get very nasty hangovers.

I think there's something wrong with me.

[princessamy]

Anyone ever had hangovers so bad you can't keep down water? It's horrible cuz you're so desperately thirsty but you drink anything and are throwing it back up in a couple of minutes.

And never, never eat anything with cheese on a hangover. No no no.

And if you feel sick, do NOT drink milk. Throw it up and out comes cream. Even worse when like me you don't like milk and hate cream.

[Yerascrote]

I get that but it's only when I drink the water too fast. Maybe that's the problem you're having.

I don't think there is anything wrong with you, I think perhaps your body is telling you you are drinking too much...

What sort of alcohol are you drinking, things like red wine are going to be nasty regardless of what you do.

[princessamy]

Lol it definately isn't. I'm talking about drinking tiny sips and it still happens.

[princessamy]

I never drink red wine. But I do often drink white and rose and wine generally is one of the worst culprits for hangovers. But I'll still get horrible hangovers when I've just drank vodka all night, and that's suppost to be one of the best things for not giving you a hangover.

And LadyJade, I do drink alot, but less than my friends do when we go out, and i'll always have the worst hangover :(

Last night I had 15.9 apparently :(

It has good hangover cures on there too

[Yerascrote]

I've had 13 before adding a half bottle of buckfast and that's a quiet enough night for myself! Ah fuck it who cares!

According to that, I had 26.7 units Tuesday night :crazyeyes

Hahahahaha. Oops.

[ShyBoy]

I drank too much... I was out with friends and just had what they were having! It seemed sensible enough... sigh. Next time a bit of moderation is in order I feel. I'm still a bit disorientated. I enjoyed myself, but felt like a prat because I knew I'd had too much to drink. :(

[*Snow White Queen*]

Gawd, don't put yourself down so much. Everyone gets pissed every now and again.

I was absolutely shit faced Tuesday night but so was everyone else I was with.

I felt like shit all of yesterday but hey, it was worth it :D

Mixing wines is going to be a bad idea, almost regardless of the amount drunk.

As for how much you drink vs. your hangover, its not a strict relationship, every body is different in how they react, much like everyone is different in their reaction to alcohol.

26? fuck thats alot!! over how many hours?

[*Snow White Queen*]

I started drinking at 7.30pm and stopped just after 2am.

I always have a bottle of wine before I go out.

It was alot that night as we bought lots of shots all night too.

[pill 'ed]

Errr wine :yuck:
I used to do the same, espescially if I knew I didn't have alot of money to buy many drinks out, I'd have one of the many bottles of wine that we have floating around the house before I left. It makes me feel ill now though, although recently I've found I can stand white wine a bit more, still won't touch red wine though.
It's funny when it gets to that stage on a night out when you're SOOO fucked and you know that you've had way, way too much but somehow you don't care. Someone offers you another shot and you just know there's a high chance of spewing after this one but fuck it, you just wanna get as screwed as possible...

[briggi]

I'd never drink red wine before a night out, I paid the price of blue teeth once and never again. That'll learn me for buying cheapo stuff :razz:

I don't drink at all before going out now, actually, though I always did in my student days. Now it's more likely to lead to my being EXTREMEly fucked and praying to the porcelain god.

[*Snow White Queen*]

Red wine is minging.

I only drink white.

[budda]

I always have a bottle of wine before I go out.

You have a whole bottle to yourself before you leave the house? How often do you drink like that?

[pill 'ed]

Plus I fucking hate all this posh French dry shit,
Only wine I can tolerate is sweet, white German wine from the Rhine and Mosel. Blue Nun, Black Tower, Liebfraumilch, Schwarze Katze (from the town of Zell on the Mosel if anyone knows it)

It's go to be New World and preferably Aussie stuff.

White's great for getting pissed, red is nice if you having a meal.

[*Snow White Queen*]

Whenever I go out which is only once or twice a week at most now I'm back at uni.

[lipsy]

i drink about 8 - 10 units on a night out and thats me wasted!

[*Snow White Queen*]

Seriously?!

Well apparently a bottle is about 10 units (at 13% - this is what I usually get) and that has me a little tipsy but not much.

I'm weird though. I drink a hell of alot more than my girly mates.

8-10 units would not have me pissed all.

I seem to remember you saying you are 8 stone though. I'm heavier than you so it probably takes alot more for me to get drunk.

[lipsy]

yeh im 8stone. i've always been a lightweight :D
when i was at uni though i used to drink a lot more than i do now. im glad i don't get that drunk anymore though - i like remembering my nights!

[*Snow White Queen*]

Haha.

I used to be a light weight when I was 16/17. I'm much better now.

The only reason why I get drunk around the same time my mates do is because I drink much much more!

[LadyJade]

I'm not sure that drinking well beyond the recommended maximum could be considered 'better' than staying within the limits. That is a lot of alcohol to be consuming on a regular basis, and you won't escape with your health unscathed.

[budda]

Exactly, the limits are a bit too prescriptive, and especially when you are young do feel too low. But necking back 25 units in one evening does suggest a tolerance which it cant be too healthy to aquire.

[z-]

Hahahahaha. Oops.


thats some goin for a girl!

[Skive]

Women shouldn't get pissed as much as men. They can't handle it.

Its also quite a lot easier for them to get chemically addicted.

[lipsy]

better? more damage to your body, much worse hangovers and spending alot more money. i don't think being able to drink someone under the table is something to be proud of unless you're a silly boy :p

[*Snow White Queen*]

thats some goin for a girl!
Its called hanging around with boys all the time for YEARS.

I don't make a habit of drinking that much. Its only when I count it the next day that I've realised how much I've drank.

Last Tuesday was a big night. It was obvious I'd drank too much because I was sick when I woke up the next morning and I'm never sick. It was the first time I was sick in the morning actually.

I do usually drink 15-20 units on a night out though.

Oh and lipsy, I don't try and drink people under the table and its not something I'm proud of either. I know girls who can drink more than me. Also, it depends what I've eaten that day, etc.

Its not like I make a habit out of drinking that much or anything. I go out about once/twice a week. I'm not going out for a while though as I've got alot on.

Oh and Lipsy, its not like you can criticise me for drinking lots too either when referring to damaging my body, I know what you doooo :p

Still, we are all adults and we all make our own decisions.

[lipsy]

i know i just hate hangovers from alcohol they're the worst :(
and i was also saying that its not better to have a higher tolerance for all fo the reasons above. small amounts of anything gets me fucked :)

[JamesZero]

Its also quite a lot easier for them to get chemically addicted.

How come?

I know. I suffer really badly from hangovers. My mates say I'm the "queen" of hangovers. Its probably because I drink so much. When I'm hungover, I don't feel better until the next day.

[lucifer devil]

Whenever I go out which is only once or twice a week at most now I'm back at uni.
that's still at the very very least 2 bottles of wine a week!

[Yerascrote]

Well I used to drink about 4 bottles of wine plus fuck knows amount of pints and other shit a week. Haha.

[pill 'ed]

It's a good life isn't it? :D

[purplebutterfly]

My ex used ti drink between 50-80 units a week and could easily do 20 on a night out. He had been drinking at that level for years and had a medical done this year and his liver function was amazingly near perfect. I dont know how he did it. He used to expect me to match him drink for drink as well. I've hardly got drunk since we split up, I just dont want to drink any more.

[Bullseye]

better? more damage to your body, much worse hangovers and spending alot more money. i don't think being able to drink someone under the table is something to be proud of unless you're a silly boy :p


Doesn't the same thing go for a high tolerance of all drugs though, not just alcohol?

[lipsy]

Doesn't the same thing go for a high tolerance of all drugs though, not just alcohol?
well yes of course but i was commenting on snowhitequeen having such a high tolerance of alcohol and thinking that was "better" than drinking less.

[Skive]

Unfortunately for you girlies, you bodies are far less well equipped to deal with alcohol and drugs such as ecstasy.

[badboy4life]

are they not more effective at the same time though?

[badboy4life]

...in the same way that women used to drink half pints.

[budda]

that's still at the very very least 2 bottles of wine a week!

That's not a drastic amount, it is over the weekly recommended, but not by all that much.

As to why women get addicted quicker, its to do with the fat ratio in their body, its quite different to that of men. They can get addicted in as little as five years where as men take at least twice that.

[Bullseye]

well yes of course but i was commenting on snowhitequeen having such a high tolerance of alcohol and thinking that was "better" than drinking less.


My bad! i didnt see the post you did after that post i quoted which pretty much explained it all.

[Addict]

I think if I got comedowns like the hangover I had the other day after 8 pints of guinness, it'd put me off ecstacy forever. I don't understand how a head can be so sore.
