catmag 337 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I'm hoping I have a late career resurgence like Alan Shearer or Harold Shipman Currently drinking water, eating toast and have had 2 pre-emptive paracetamol. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2980 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I went out for a mate's birthday a few weekends back. I had to get up at 6am the next morning for drive back home. The whole day was a right off. I'm not sure how many drinks I had but it wasn't too many. Not like the old days anyway. Agree with the water before bed theory. I think it poisons the poison, like a double negative. I'm practically a scientist at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44900 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Water helps, but there is no way that it cures a hangover. It's like the difference between being kicked in the balls with steel toe caps and just plain old kicked in the balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33245 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Drinking in rounds is the real killer. Especially if you're drinking with genuine beer monsters. Otherwise, a good drink of water helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30620 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Yup, the water is a life saver. As long as I get 8 hours sleep I don't get hangovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I can still feel a bit of Friday even now. I think most of my mates would say I'm a jovial witty cunt, but I have to be one of Britain's most boring cunts when I have a hangover. I genuinely want to feel sorry for myself and talk to no one.

I find if I drink 2 pints of water, I might as well have a season ticket for the bog all night for both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33245 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Just a pint of water when you get in is all. Some scran as well. Try and drink the same stuff. I had a bottle of red last night and sometimes I get a bit of a headache with red wine, nothing bad just different from beer. A couple of weeks ago there was a pint of Guinness poured by mistake and offered to me gratis by the barmaid as I usually drink either that or lager but never both. As I was on lager that night I should've knocked it back but I took it and then had another. I swear to god I shit through the eye of a needle the next day and spewed up about six in the morning. Don't mix your drinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red wine or mid-strength (Stevie that's beer for women) gives me a massive headache. Edit: Or is it white wine? Can't even remember. I avoid getting plastered on wine in general these days. Drinking in rounds is the real killer. Especially if you're drinking with genuine beer monsters. I never do that any more. It can only lead to bad things.

Gemmill 44900 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I'll drink in rounds but I'll tell people not to get me one if I don't want one. You just need to get used to confirming that yes, you know you're a puff, and no you definitely don't want a drink thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no slouch, but I slow down after around 5 pints, unfortunately the crowd I drink with on a sunday night are the type who are ordering the next round when anyone in the group is down to the halfway point in their glass, the fucking lunatics!

toonotl 2980 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I avoid round drinking because I like to keep the illusion going that I'm not a massive girl's blouse. Mainly the illusion is in my own mind and no one else's, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used to drink with people like that on a Sunday afternoon, they all had work the next day & I was at Uni. I still don't know how they got to work the next day as everyone was wrecked.

Howmanheyman 33245 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I only drink with them when I'm on late shift the next day or off altogether. The odd time I've drank with them when I've got to be up at five in the morning for work and it's not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, a good drink of water helps. Aye,that's been my downfall over the years. I've now got to the stage where my best mate has "inbetweeners" virtually during every round. While professor Gemmill may not agree, pint or two of water before bed makes all the difference. Problem is remembering to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 If you're in your 30s or 40s and your mates are still pressuring you into drinking pints you don't want then you need new mates (imo ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
