Hangover

[MVPlaya]

i don't see how anyone could hang for more than a day. unless you're hanging in the desert where there isn't a drop of water.. one day is more than enough for a full recovery.

I had a two day hangover once. I was in Sweden, they drink some pretty ridiculous alcohol that they fill with spices and all this other weird stuff, I felt so sick in the middle of the day, then got sick again later that night, ended up throwing up, spent the entire next day in a battle with my intestines, threw up several times more and did nothing, then the day after that spent most of the day until about 6 o'clock feeling sick & ****ed up.

Its definitely possible.

& thats enough moping around, off to the gym, i drank way too much alcohol last night

orange Gatorade and saltine crackers are my favorite cure.

Actually, hair of the dog works. Its not alcohol withdrawl, tho. Its thought to be either partially broken down alcohol or dehydration (which could be related) that makes you feel ill. Supposedly, the alcohol competes with the partially broken down products, which then get flushed out by your kidneys, which it couldn't do the night before b/c the concentration was too high.

Keep in mind this could be bullshit, there's no hard data for any of this (that I know of), but it sounds plausible. And the beer/bloody mary the morning after really does work, somehow.

exactly my point! that's why i am so worried! I even called my boss that i am gonna go see a doctor and get my liver checked out.

Dig, when I was young and dumb I drank an entire mickey of schnapps & felt ill for 3 days.

First and last time I drank like that. You are probably fine, still doesn't hurt to get checked out. But don't worry, chances are you are fine.

the thing is...i am not nauseaus at all, didn't puke either. it's just the freaking headaches that are killing me. and i usually don't drink 40% vodka, only 25%. this time however I forgot to bring my own so the real vodka hit me hard.

but i didn't even feel drunk at that time or the morning after, i even drove myself home (bad girl, i should never do that again)

That I dunno. The one time I was badly hungover, I was talking to Australia for close to 24 hours and miserable for another 2 days after that. Of course, everyone is different. Headaches have never been my problem.

I read that hangovers make people feel depressed. I actually am feeling kinda happy through my headaches. just sitting here singing russian songs from the 70s and older

Maybe it isn't a hangover, but rather a regular migraine.

Amber moon, with hot sauce.

The ER nurses and EMTs just start up IVs running normal saline and thiamine before they go to bed.

[Perryville]

Well Vash, most of us don't have access to all of this sophisticated medical equipment, and just have to make do with home remedies.

I've been told one can actually buy it all via internet...
