Why Is My Hangover So Bad?

Recommended Posts

I feel like I'm about to lapse into a coma. Sum total of drinks drunk last night:

1 pint (small American version of pint) of p**s-weak lager

3 glasses of Californian Zinfandel

This is over nearly a seven hour time period. I must be getting old.

Anyone got any old family remedies?

If you developed cramp as well, then maybe don't take so much viagra before-hand? :P

A big huge fat burger, followed by a pint of full fat milk. Works a treat!

You are dehydrated. Drink more.

I agree with this. Always drink large quantities of water near the end of an evening out. IT took me 25 years to learn this, but at some time in the evening switch to water even if you have only been drinking moderately. A couple of big glasses of water just before bed can make a world of difference by morning!!!!

Bah. I say quit fermented drinks altogether (beer, champagne, wine, etc.) go for distilled drinks (whisky, vodka, gin).

Fermented drinks are for pussies. :P

For me it is champagne. I can drink anything else all night long and be fine in the morning. If I have 2 glasses of bubbley, I wake up wishing I was dead.

Well, it won't work if I take it afterwards........:-)

This is the advice I took in the end. That and time works a treat. If you're ever in America and get horribly drunk, I strongly advise visiting this place: http://www.carlsjr.com/home

Note that it won't be the best burger you've ever had, but it'll certainly be the greasiest.......

Have you tried to drink only good wine?

Red wine better.

The stuff I was drinking was $260 a bottle, so I'd hope it should have been good enough! But you're right, I spoiled it by starting out the evening with the crappy beer.

Oddly enough for me champagne has no effect on me unless I drink it literally by the gallon. Sadly I don't like it much, so I have to stick to the stuff which destroys me (i.e. every other alcoholic drink ever made).

:lol: Very good. Though I do wonder what kind of pharmacological expert has to ask a physicist for hang-over remedies. Plus physicists never get out enough to get drunk.

I agree 100%

Oh and I find the best cure to be two brufen, and a litre of water before i go to sleep. Best remedy!

One of the curses of a degree in Pharmacology is that they never tell you the things you really need to know in life. I can tell you the mode of action and efficacy of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors, but not how to make my head stop hurting.

University education is so overrated.

Note- on reflection under hangover conditions I probably wouldn't even have been able to say "Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor".

I wish I could afford champagne just to test that theory. ^_^

Glad it worked for you Oli. :D

:lol: Sure. It's your tips and advice that never seem to work right for me. :P

OK. Here's some useful advice for ya, Muzza.

1. Size DOES matter.

2. Its not common, and it doesn't happen to anyone else.

:lol: But when we... you know... you said.... you know.... :(

:lol:

I know. I lied.

It does matter how big your coffee cup is, cause its no good making a cappucino if all you have is an expresso cup, is it?

I think I got out of that one!

Prevention for hang-over (like YHR says) ...... lots of water before pass out and two aspirin.

Cure for hang-over... One huge cold milkshake when you get up and drink it fast!

Taken me also 25+ years to perfect ...

Personally I prefer the prevention method rather than the cure!
