hangover prevention

Postby nocturnalvagabond » Fri Dec 25, 2009 7:00 pm

Okay, so I know that to prevent a hangover it's best to drink light liquors (vodka etc.) rather than dark (whiskey etc.) I also know that it's best to stick to one type of drink the whole night. Thing is, I'm currently drinking whiskey because that's what I currently have in my house. I'm about to go out to the bar my roommate works at. Will I be less hungover if I continue to drink whiskey or if I switch to vodka or light rum? I have to work at 8am tomorrow.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Yea in allhonestly the best hangover cure is too never really be undrunk. when u wake up and ur hurting reach for more whiskey or try to drum up a bloddy mary. remember, nothing worht doing right is easy.

It's a package deal. The possibility of getting a hangover is always there for drunkards. I generally avoid brands which consistently give me a hangover. But those same brands don't have the same effect on everybody. And the things I've come to depend upon will sometimes fight back. It's a good thing to be kept on ones toes by ones choice of lifestyle. Fighting a hangover is one of the things that one has to do if one is to taste all of the fruits of alcohol.

And calling out of work is points off, by the way. We're supposed to be pros, here. I've thrown in the towel, once or twice. Shown up late, too. But to lay there in bed and say "I can't take this I'm not going in" is a slippery slope.

One person has a hangover, gets through work, and confides in a friend "I feel like shit and I can't wait to do it again." Another rolls on the floor asking for god's forgiveness and stays clear of bottles for a few days. Which one do you want by your side when the alien uprising finally comes?

Remember that alcohol is not a magic potion(physiologically). During a session, you have to remember to eat and hydrate as much as you would normally, or even moreso. Alot of symptoms(but not all) are from people ignoring food/water/sleep.

I've drank about every classification of liquor and noticed no difference in hangover potential.

Yeah physiologically, it numbs pain, so when u get rocked or get into a crazy ass fight. You dont feel hits
you become a master of knowledge... alcohol is the ultimate serum. it does have slight draw backs in mass dosages.

And id recommend bacon nd eggs the next morning... a nice griddle of some bomb eggs. shitll hit the spot and ull be ready to hit the sauce again within the next hour.

Part of bein pro is knowin how to hit that limit before 'point break'... the perfect drunken bliss hahahaa

sometimes I don't drink too much and I'm not okay. Then I wish I had drunk more.
