What is a hangover?

[Harkdawg]

Ok could someone explain me what exactly is happening to youre body when u get a hangover, what exatcly is causeing it?

As far as i heard, it had something to do with lacking vitamins & minerals.

[Andrew]

It has mostly to do with drinking too much alcohol the night before.

will explain more later (I'm working)

Here's a bit of info i found.

[Jack Leaf]

At the outset, I want to say that the only way I can think of to avoid a hangover is not to drink too much. Unfortunately, once you have a hangover, there really isn't anything you can do to make it go away. The only real cure is time.

Uh had some of it a couple of times.

Little tip that I learned while catering a party, drink plenty of water after you're done drinking alcohol, it diminishes the hangover depending on how much water you drink.

[Mahdi]

Gatorade/powerade is better.  It also replenishes missing electrolytes.

[exatreide]

Or drink lots of mixed drinks...its alot easier on your body then hangovers.

this one guy gave me in the morning a couple of pills that take acid out of youre body, when i went training in the evening my friggin sweat smelled like chemical laborotry.

Yes well i drank a little more than i usually do and i felt damn shitty in the morning. Fookin cotton mouth, i drank like a gallon of water, oooooo and the headache ....

[TMA_1]

yeah, I drank once, and when I drank I mean a lot.lol I hate alcohol, not for any moral reason but simply because it feels really weird for me. I just didnt like that feeling, plus I threw up bigtime. Luckily I found out that is why I didnt have a bad hangover. Still it was unpleasent.lol

[Andrew]

Actually drinking more alcohol eases the hangover...

[Dunenewt]

Drink milk before you have drink, and drink water afterwards, simple as that,  A hangover is what happens when your brain cells have died due to dehydration.

[exatreide]

Milk and hard alcohal is a bad combo...Trust me..Never chase vodka with milk.

NEVER!

[Dunenewt]

Well drink it one hour before you dirnk.

Watch A Beautiful Mind. Paul Bettany's character explains it very well within the first half hour of the movie.

[Dunenewt]

That was a really good movie once I get into it.

[Andrew]

I prefer to not drink milk shortly before/during/after drinking, and also including the morning after, as I heard milk goes sour in your stomach if you drink it.

Yes drinking excessivly does make you much stupider and poorer.

If you think hangovers are bad try going through withdrawal.  :(

[lost_child]

Oh man when I'm hung over, I'm really hung over. I just lay there all day maybe puke a few time. The thought of eationg anything makes me puke.

I always get hungover when I drink lots of beer probaly because I lose so much water. But i can drink vodka all night and not puke or get a hang over. But I think you get a hang over casue your'e body is really dehydrated.

Milk and hard alcohal is a bad combo...Trust me..Never chase vodka with milk.

NEVER!

I chase vodka with peach Shnapps

[exatreide]

Beer is mostly water...Vodka is alot harder on you then beer.

Only hangover i got was the first time i drank..

Well sorta..it was really just me waking up and my room smelling like vodka..

[Andrew]

Here's the good old saying to keep you safe. :)

Beer before liquor, never sicker.

Liquor before beer, never fear.

Anyone heard of chasers? take one every 4 beers i'm pretty sure .

Yah they had chasers at the stag party, almost everyone took one, or two, or three. ;)

Century is a pretty dangerous game.

Take a shot of beer every minute, for an hour (or 100 minutes?)

You think you would last the 100 minutes, but you'd be lucky to make it to 30.

Or buy Sambuka and light a shot on fire and drink the shot without putting out the fire.

[exatreide]

Flaming shots work best with everclear  ;)

[Apollyon]

Sambuka's great stuff. Tastes like blackjacks.  :)
