Is there a hangover thread?

[Squidbot]

There's a drunk thread, where's the "I feel like a pig shat in my head." thread?

I love red wine, but the next morning it kills me. Gears 2 + red wine = win.

[Norse]

I feel your pain. Having a hangover is terrible, and I can't think many things that are worse. Do you remember to drink a lot of water when you're consuming alcohol?

I've learned to dislike red wine, I can't even stand a small sip before I almost puke. Back when I did drink it I got bad hangovers all the time. I "never" get get hangovers when I drink Vodka, Bacardi, Rum etc. But beer and wine always make me sick.

[VerseD]

Wine leaves the worst hangovers, alongside Scotch. Something about tannins I think. Beer is better, and mixed drinks are best.

To avoid hangars, if able, I drink a glass of water before going to sleep, then have a big breakfast the next morning and go for a run. Leaves me chipper as shit.

[Norse]

When I'm out drinking I drink a ton of Long Island ice tea. No matter how much I drink of it, I'm never troubled with a hangover. It's pure magic :)

[rinichanraar]

When a hangover is terrible enough, I can barely even look at my screen without it getting worse. Last time I was hung over (day after my birthday), Joey hung a bunch of blankets and stuff over the blinds because they weren't blocking the light well enough. Sometimes it feels kind of similar to a migraine, and I used to get those a lot when I was younger. Now they just haunt me in the form of hangovers.

[Squidbot]

I was too pissed to remember to drink water, or anything other than MOAR WIEN!!!!11
I will noty give up drinking red wine, I love it! I just grin and bare the hangovers :)

I don't mean to laugh, but it's rather funny that only a few hours ago I remember reading a post from you talking about how you drank 2 bottles of red wine and played Gears 2 horde mode and how you were having a great time. Cheers to you, and remember to drink a shitload of water before going to bed after a night of boozing! :p

Oh dear sweet jesus that sounds like death. My anti hangover magic is DO NOT DRINK ANY SUGARY DRINKS. That shit'll dry your insides out so fast you will be all kinds of dehydrated in the morning. Eek! But if it works for you Norse, keep doing it. Anything to avoid a hangover is OK in my book!

I regret nothing! Gears and wine go together like Tom and Jerry. I swear I got better as I drank more.

[Kielaran]

I feel damn lucky that I don't get hangovers. It confuses everyone the next morning when they ask my if I am ok and I say 'yeah, why?' This happened at PAX too, but it may have helped that Jackel and mister slim woke my passed out ass up and force fed me water (Thanks guys!).

Oh, and red wine is the best and like N3rdXcore, I found this post funny remembering your other post.

[Kelegacy]

How the hell do alcoholics live with their permanently dehydrated lifestyles? After just one night for regular people, we're so dried out we're pissing neon orange and feel like someone sat on our heads.

I don't think alcoholics drink a lot of water, so I don't know how they do it.

[Squidbot]

pissing neon orange

Ok, I think your problem is that it's not alcohol you're drinking.

[Kelegacy]

Are you saying...oh God, I probably have syph!

No, when I drink tons of alcohol (usually beer since it takes me a lot to get drunk which equals more dehydration) I might wake up and urinate a urine so concentrated it almost burns (it sure does feel "hot"). I've tried explaining that to other people and they always look at me weird too. But it's only occasions where I've been black-out, crazy drunk.

I drink lots of water now, sometimes too much. One time I drank so much I puked. I was drunk, I didn't know better.

I can't weigh in on sugary drinks, but sugar itself is great for hangovers. I believe sugar actually helps break down alcohol faster.

A wise, drunken old man once told me this gem. Take 2 pieces of bread, cover them in honey and eat them. Chase it with a glass of water and an aspirin, and you'll be 100% come morning.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'll be damned if he wasn't right in my case.

On Friday, I was playing Gears 2's Horde mode with 5 players and a bottle of Wild Turkey. We managed to get to wave 19, but spent like 45 minutes just trying to get past it to no avail. Three of the guys left, and somehow, my drunk-ass self and one other friend managed to do the impossible. I would have to say that my hangover the next morning hardly seemed worth it.....but I had a hell of a time!

[LongStepMantis]

The perfect hangover cure though? "The hair of the dog".

It'll wipe that hangover out in no time! Of course, if you don't ever want it to come back you have to continue drinking for the rest of your life. ;)

[The Iron Weasel]

Hangovers oh how I know them well. I find the best cure for a hangover is to drink loads of water, and throw some tea in there. If you're feeling ambitious though, go for a cardio workout. You'll sweat out all the booze, burn some calories, and feel great after (this might not work for everyone but it works for me pretty well). If you're not feeling that ambitious a sauna can work too. (Those last two only have worked on mild-medium hangovers, if you're sitting in bed with a garbage can beside you not able to move, you're SOL)

[Squidbot]

Vat of coffee and tub of curry. I feel much better.

This. While away for weekend trips to various cottages, I always take a 4-pack of spicy Caesars. They are great for the next morning. The clamato juice works wonders, and the spicyness will pep you up. They have enabled me to stay up until 5AM, buzzed on beer (along with various shooters), weed and shrooms, then getting up at 8:30AM and start drinkling :)

Well you got a little chainsaw happy, was funny seeing you chase everything down revving the blades.

As amusing as my alcohol induced chainsaw rampage was, the highlight of the evening has to be the Locust streaker, who ran past all five of us, in one end of the tunnel and out the other, without firing a shot. And the five of us too busy laughing at him to remember to kill him :D

[Bad Buddha]

I'm feeling a little bent this morning. Nothing too nasty but a stiff neck and a bit of a headache. :cool:

Started toasting the Vets with some good Scotch last night. Toasted my Dad. Toasted my Grandfather. Toasted my Uncle that was in the Army in Europe in WW2. Toasted my Uncle that was in the Air Force in WW2. Toasted my Father-in-law that was in Vietnam. Toasted my old neighbor, Butchie, that was in Vietnam. Toasted all the guys they served with. Toasted all the guys that are serving right now. Toasted anybody that had ever served. Then I started running out of Scotch so I figured that was enough. Thanks guys!

My wife and I have been heading over to Eastern Washington in the last couple of years to hit up some of the wineries that are making a name for themselves. We've compiled quite a wine selection. Our grape of choice is usually the reds because they're more complex and robust. We almost always drink it with a meal so that helps a lot with the hangovers, but sometimes we just HAVE to open that second bottle. That is usually a sign that things are going to be nasty the next morning. Logic doesn't stop us! :p

Oh yes, Lusty the Locust streaker. DAMN! :D funny shit! I'm sure he did it for a bet. I wonder how much the bet was for? /Ponders

If it kills you the next morning it does not = win. Gears 2+ red wine + feeling like you can run a marathon the next morning = win

Sorry mister serious.

This springs to mind after reading your reply

Tolerance. Someone who abuses alcohol builds up that much tolerance they don't often have the symptoms of others who only "use" alcohol. A sobering thought (no pun intended) indeed.

And cat pics for the win. Cat pics always = win :).

Didn't Tom constantly try and kill Jerry? And didn't Jerry pester Tom to no end?

Goddamn, I wish I had been around to see that one. Sounds hilarious.

[MachEnergy]

Ya know, as my screen turns red, covered in a fine layer of chainsaw spray, I often think, "Red wine would be perfect right now."

[Soldat]

Ya know, I wish I had Gears 2 right about now because it sounds like it would go better with a bottle of red than Fable 2. Maybe scotch and Drambuie will work though.

Any reco's for Dead Space? (next on my list)

Johnnie Walker Black label was my company for Dead space last monday... I Was like "this game is too tense, need something to easy things up"... For every scare a small dose...
was drunk before fixing the tram...:D

[Kielaran]

I drank red wine while playing Ninja Gaiden 2. I ended up taking a sip every time I died (well, maybe more than a sip). About 45 minutes later I realized that I should stop because I couldn't get Ryu to move right anymore.:o
