Hangovers

[broughtonblue]

In my 50's now and really struggling with these. Obviously over the years I've had some stinkers but now, even after just 6 or 7 pints I'm wrecked all the next day till literally bed time. Anybody else suddenly started suffering after reaching the big 50 ?

I've always been able to hold my beer and am possibly classed as a big drinker by those that know me. But now although I can still drink I'm a feckin lightweight at recovering

My tactic is to stop drinking at least an hour or two before bed. So if I'm down the pub/bar (which is rare these days), I'll drink a good few pints but once it gets to say, 11.30 - 12.00, i'll switch to water or soft drinks. Then by the time I get home and go to bed I'm already sobering up a bit.

I'm nearly late 20s and already hate my hangovers . Going in to 2-day territory after a massive night out. 

 

Tactic to try and combat it is to just down a pint or 2 of water before going bed, if I remember.

I usually just have a pint of water and leave the paracetamol next to the bed for the following morning's skull-smasher. Though to be honest it's getting harder to get over them as I get older, I can't imagine having 7 pints in my 50s and not feeling shit the next day.

Drink a pint of water before you go to bed. You'll be going for a Pat Cash every 5 minutes but no headache in the morning

[SystonFox]

Eat a cucumber before bed

[ajthefox]

I always try and have some grub and plenty of water before bed, it's the only way the next day isn't a write off.

M best hangover cure has always been either a pint of flat coke or berroca – plenty of carbs, cold pizza is incredible on a hangover.

[Webbo]

I don't usually drink to get drunk so I don't get more than 1 or 2 hangovers a year. Very rarely get headaches but I tend to feel sick as a dog all day.

Don’t complain just embrace it, it was self inflicted and won’t last too long. Can of coke n a sausage sandwich will tide you over. If it’s a weekend or holiday hair of the dog 

[Guest Kopfkino]

Dioralyte before bed or in the morning. Usually has me at least functioning by mid morning

Don't know why I found that so funny but I did.

Is that a serious answer?

If you crave cucumbers while wankered you really are a strange one  I’m more of a wake up using a pizza as a pillow type of drunk.

[StanSP]

pizza the morning after is heaven.

[Soar Fox]

Bottle of lucozade in the morning. 

 

I dont suffer from hangovers so much just more feel really tired throughout the day.

[Bergen fox]

Pizza  after night out as it soaks up all the alcohol 

[Fox92]

My hangovers are terrible (but I've always put it down to the fact I'm not a massive drinker). I'm usually always sick in the morning and occasionally on the night itself.... And I'm only mid 20's.

 

When I've got a hangover I always go for a bottle of lucozade and, if nearby, a McDonalds meal. McDonalds hungover is one of the best things for me.

"for me"

[Guest MattP]

Just get straight back on it. Only real way of sorting it out.

[The Fox Covert]

Go to a pub at least a couple of miles from home. Leave your car at the pub and walk home. A bit of fresh air and exercise and you will sleep right through till the morning. If you are still a bit squiffy then walk back to collect your car. Never fails.

I'm retired and my tolerance to alcohol has dropped dramatically over the last ten years or so, frustrating as many of my friends of the same vintage appear unaffected.  But I can manage a hangover now after only a couple of pints.

Berocca, water and a bit of toast
