"Hangovers" are a big reason why I don't drink very often, although I don't think what you could call what I suffer from a hangover. If I drink a couple drinks over too short of a time, I wake up with debilitating migraines; if I drink too much over the span of the evening, I wake up with debilitating migraines and vomiting all day. Sometimes I get a migraine just within an hour of the first sip. I've always assumed this has something to do with my liver, and that it may be damaged after years of medication usage. But maybe my body has just learned to react to alcohol this way as I get older.
Then again, maybe I'm just not doing it right. This slideshow says I'm not the only one who may be unsafe when drinking, and maybe it's just all about hydrating better, and that's been my problem all along.
I'd like to be able to drink occasionally without the fear of feeling like death in the morning, and I'd like to go to a going-away party for a co-worker tomorrow. Maybe food before hand and more water is all it will take.
What are your hangover tricks? After looking at the slideshow, have you found if they're a safe and effective remedy all?
Everyone is a little different on the hangover thing. I pop some aspirin, and shovel fries and coke in my system. And water. It helps to be super hydrated the day before drinking, but who has that foresight?
ReplyDeleteI refuse to drink water while drinking alcohol anymore, I have had a bad time of it every time I do that.
