stripey999 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Edd, it must be this modern beer matey. I could handle it well in the 70s and just as good in the 80s. Now I can't take more than a few before I need to lie down and the hangover is murderous. It must be all them E numbers they put in to please the kids.

LeeinVA Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I too have noticed the longer lastying affects of a good night of tossing them back.. Try getting tits up with a nice quart of shine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Oh yes, I dread the thought of a hangover nowadays as it isn't just the following day that's bad - it takes me several days to feel right again and that's after a lesser amount of alcohol that I used to have. Probably another sign of ageing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonySmith Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I have gone over to Vodka and Orange during the working week....no hangover and it counts as one of my 'five a day'.................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I believe that everybody has a lifetime allocaiton of beer units. When they run out you suffer hangovers. Some people use them up in their youth. Some people stretch them out into old age. I used all of mine up by the age of 37 (10 years ago) and decided to give up drink altogether because it was making me feel more and more ill.

Ozzy Fudd Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 i only get a really bad hangover if i drink a litre+ of vodka, everything else gets sorted out easily the next morning with a good fry up and a bottle of banana milkshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpowder Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Not a cure for hangovers but I find that anything with bubbles in it intensifies mine, stick to a single malt with a drop of water and seem to suffer less. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christy Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hangover-nah. Used to get em 35 yrs ago but not now. Well, two bottles of scotch aside in fairness. Try not to do that anymore. Hangovers are basically caused simply by not drinking enough. If enough were consumed the night before then you will not have time for a hangover. Wake up coat on-pub. Simples really.

That's fair enough Christy but you forgot that one little thing that often goes in between the "wake up" part and the "hat on -pub" part, it's called the wife! Do you have a "Plan B" for dealing with this little problem please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Clavata Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 yadda yadda yadda; simple fact is that if you get better at handling your booze (or at least better at recovering from it) as you get older then the chances are you are an alchi. Bit of a generalisation but young people generally get drunk quicker but recover quicker - undeniable fact. I'm led to believe the fitter you are the less prone to hang-overs you are; this troubles me as I'm very prone. Draw your own conclusions about Mrs Sweepy (I'm assuming she's "fit")! My nemesis is mixing stuff.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I find it varies from drink to drink. Strongbow and vodka causes bad things to happen to me the next day. Nomming down on some fast food chips or a curry late at night though does help prevent feeling like death warmed up the next day. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 My hangovers only seem to be really bad when I know that I did or said something heinous the night before. "The Fear" multiplies hangovers ten-fold Kebab/pizza is mandatory after a night on the razz though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Mixing kills me. I had a memorable night a couple of weeks back and I've never been so ill! I went to the pub with an empty stomach. Nothing new there really and I started the night with the intent of taking it steady (not so normal!). Well I got myself a bottle of Katy and drank that. Then it was onto the double brandy and drambuie, I had two of those. The pub then run out of brandy so I had a double bells and coke. Well when we got home I was sick, really sick. I went to sleep after necking a pint of water with a bowl by the bed and slept right through to 7.30. Then I was up again, and sick! I felt rough until around 3pm the next day! Normally I can go out and have maybe ten double brandy/drambuies and be fine for work. I'll do that on a week night. I had a bottle of tequila a while back and woke up the next day feeling a little groggy but fine. But this mixing cider and spirits, never again. I've had heavy nights on the spirits and had whole bottles of all sorts of filth. Pernod, tequila, whiskey, I'm fine. I've been sick through drink three or four times in my life but never evening and next day! Dear god, I thought I was going to die! So much for a light night!

alexr Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 agreed, spirits and cider, oh dear... Yes , but at the end of the evening when you have run out of cider and there is only that bottle of green stuff the wife insisted you got all those years ago in that dodgy shop in Spain, what else are you going to do......... Truth of the mater is that after twenty years of relatively sobrietus living I now throw up most mornings if I drink the night before, and the amount or type of alcohol involved is depressingly irrelevant.

njc110381 Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I think from now on I'm going to stick with spirits! The trouble is I'm having more and more trouble in coming up with a long drink. Fair enough it's ok to turn up and start on the whiskey or brandy but it would be nice to have something more refreshing. I used to love southern comfort and lemonade when I was a teen, then I moved over to bells and coke and stuck with that for a few years. Now though I find too much coke is just too syrupy and not all that nice. I've started drinking blue lagoons which is a little gay! Does anyone have any suggestions for a spirit based long drink? Nothing with gin in it though as unless it has sloes in I wont touch it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
