Title: Post here if you drank too much and are suffering...
Post by: Eclair on March 18, 2011, 10:37:27 PM: OK, so this is the thread where you share your hungover tales of woe...or suggest antidotes for the sore and sorry for themselves.

So....my sorry tale goes like this. (Please read with pity as it will take a fucking long time to write, as I correct my spelling errors due to my fragile posting state :'()

NOTE: It's a long and sad tale....feel free to read in those excessively bored moments, or skip through it and post your remedies!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, the consequences of a night of drinks with old workmates that were shouted for me. First mistake. Letting others control your alcohol intake!

Hungover...I stayed in my bed until just after midday today...soothing my ills with iced water and air conditioning. Then I decide I have to eat or I will die, but I can't drive to the shops because there would still be alcohol in my system. So I have to walk.

Why do you always crave the food you don't have in your house when you are hungover? Ugggh. Sooo, I'm craving tomato soup, right. This is important to note as the story unfolds. (Don't ask me why tomato soup, I've never craved it before with a hangover, so who knows - there's no logic to this fragile state!)

So, I start walking, it starts pissing down rain, but thankfully my hair is in a bun and I really don't care I feel so awful anyway.

I get to the supermarket, pity me, as it's a Saturday here and fucking packed with people. Not good when you're fragile...Ugggh.

Soup section. Tomato, tomato....mmm, chicken and corn? Mmm...pea and ham? What do I want...mmm, sicky, sicky feeling. Get all three. ::)

Awww....do I feel like tomatoes on toast? Mmm, mmm....tomatoes in basket....or do I want vegemite toast? Vegemite in basket. Should I get noodles, just in case....noodles in basket. Around this moment, I feel like jelly....but when heading to jelly cups in the refrigerator section, I go past pasta....mmm, should I get pasta for dinner? That would be nice and comforting...at that moment, imagining whether I could eat pasta, I suddenly get a huge wave of nausea...so much so I fear I could vomit right there and then in the grocery store. (And I'm NOT a vomiter, I have an aversion to it and suppress it)

Telling myself that if I do spew, I will just apologise and say I am pregnant (I know, not cool, but I am so fucking fragile, I don't care). The feeling of being hungover IS decidedly like what morning sickness is like too BTW.

I manage to get through the checkout, nausea wave has now gone back to the general sicky sicky get me the fuck away from here feeling.

I pass the fruit and veg shop. Grapes, green and purple....

Then I have to get white bread, because I can't stand the thought of eating my regular wholemeal seedy rye stuff or whatever it is for my tomatoes on toast.

OK, heading home...pass the food court. I hate the food court, any food court really.

Yeah well, here the fuck I am, half eaten pizza sub from Subway. When my initial trip was for tomato soup. ::)

The pathetic tale of a hungover soul. This won't end until probably later tonight...this yucky sicky feeling. Blaaaah.

Can't order from Subway either, it is just too much for me. I get GA to do it heh. Hope you are feeling better after the pizza sub. I would eat one of those right now.

I had tomatoes on toast too! :P

I seem to only order the pizza subs. With orange cheese, it has a name, but I always forget what their name for it is there as I don't have subway that often. By the time he got back to my sub, he went to put regular cheese on it. Yeah, spaz I am calls out 'Noo, I want orange cheeseesssseee!!!'...sounding like a 3 year old! :P

I used to like meatball subs, but those meatballs can't be good.

I feel like my tomato soup now. :P

I did some dumb shit while drinking but craving tomato soup wasn't one of those things. :zombiefuck: :thumbdn: Even large amounts of pot or hash didn't give me munchies bad enough to want that shit.

Post by: Binty on March 19, 2011, 04:23:37 AM: I always craved a lot of fried stuff when I was drinking. Especially fried potatoes in any shape or form. Afterwards, it depends on how bad it is. No matter how much I drank, I never seemed to get really really bad hangovers thankfully.

That's interesting that you craved tomato soup because I have heard of tomato juice as a hangover remedy. Maybe your body knows what it needs.

I have never had a hangover.

Yeah, I had fresh tomatoes on toast as soon as I got back from the shops...then grazed on the Subway in the afternoon. Had the tomato soup about an hour ago.

You are way too sensible to get a hangover, I know. :) I used to be like that, but ocassionally I get led astray...I didn't think I drank that much, but I obviously did in hindsight, that I'm that sick, and I do remember someone saying to the guy buying drinks that he was buying drinks faster than we could drink them.

Post by: TheoK on March 19, 2011, 05:32:46 AM: I have almost never had a hangover except for when drinking lots of red wine. Can drink lots of whisky and just be sweaty, tired and have to piss a lot. :viking:

Post by: Al Swearegen on March 19, 2011, 09:24:57 AM: Oh Crap, you guys all need to drink more. I get hangovers. They suck really badly. Sleep is the only thing I can recommend. If you want to rehydrate yourself go sports drinks.

Post by: "couldbecousin" on January 16, 2017, 11:05:35 AM: The only hangover I ever had pretty much passed after my fourth puke :P and then I went to work,
where I craved milk of all things (I seldom drink it), and my fingertips were a bit numb and I felt slow.

Post by: Lestat on November 06, 2017, 04:08:15 AM: Yeah those meatball subs really hit the spot in post-pissup moments, when one goes searching for greasy food.

Something fatty and salty is what is needed IMO, I like those subs, only with about 4x extra lots of every cheese available and then I'll pester the person making it for more black olives until I can't wheedle a single slice more out of them, and the thing is bursting with olives. Other times, if its available then those charcoal pit grill place type big fuckoff double cheeseburgers, ideally with bacon and lots of it. If not, then the other favoured options are donner kebab and in a pinch, pizzza, peppperoni with a fuckton of olives over it and extra cheese.

For hangover remedies, I find a sedative-hypnotic like a benzo etc. helps a lot, either just enough to take the edge off, or else just to go and sleep it off, after drinking plenty of fluid. I prefer the seizure med I'm on. I'm used to it now so I have more leeway than anybody who doesn't take it regularly, but chlormethiazole is unique in that it also blocks alcohol dehydrogenase, preventing the conversion to the nasty ass, hangover causing acetaldehyde in the liver. It also means it potentiates the everloving shit on a stick out of alcohol, making even a small amount hit like a hammer.

So one MUST be careful with that combination, especially considering chlormethiazole is a powerful, barbiturate-like depressant. Does mean when I do drink, I don't need to drink nearly as much to get drunk, and that what is consumed, ends up having more of it pissed out as is rather than being converted to toxic intermediate metabikutes like acetaldehyde.

And AFTER the drinking, when the CNS depressant effects of alcohol have worn off and if I feel like shit, I'll go for a couple of buffered aspirin, a cup of 'andrews salts' similar to alka-seltzer, and an IM shot of morphine, or else insufflate the contents of a few IR oxycodone capsules, taking about 50mg or so.

I very rarely get hangovers. When drinking socially or simply to quench thirst I go for beers, lagers, ales etc. and those are not particularly suitable for one to become drunk on, not more than mildly so anyway. And my antiseizure med protects me at that level from any hangover.

If I want to get drunk, I'll measure out a quantity of pure ethanol then dilute it to a concentration safe for tissues, with something that tastes decent, like elderflower cordial concentrate, and drink it down in one shot. One is quite enough to get you to whatever stage of drunkenness one might wish for, in a few minutes, I find that the very pure, un-denatured lab ethanol gives less of hangover when not over-used. Presumably because it is far cleaner and more refined than drinking alcohol.

But the core hangover cure for me IF I ever get one, which is rare, I am not a heavy drinker at all. Is the andrews salts and a shot of morphine plus a sedative and a couple of buffered aspirin.

Post by: Lestat on November 06, 2017, 01:01:09 PM: Because I seem unable to put on weight. It doesn't matter how much or what I eat. It just does not end up as body weight. I find it extremely difficult to gain muscle mass, despite cycles of high protein intake and intensive weight training, there is little effect (no, I've never tried employing anabolic steroids or other androgen receptor modulators) and I just don't put on fat. Its been that way all my life.

Although now its very, very difficult to eat enough at all, since certain unpleasant, traumatic events that left lasting neurological effects, and now, I am no longer capable of feeling hunger to much of any extent. I could go week without eating an only realize when physical problems show themselves. The way I do feel hunger is that if I'm not 'hungry' (I.e I do not physically require food for bodily maintenance) and I do eat or try to eat, its disgusting, food is as ash and dirt in my mouth, but when I do require nutrition then such food as is palatable to me to naturally is acceptable and consumed greedily and with much appreciation.

But I do not generally speaking, consciously feel the cognitive state known as 'hunger', I still can, slightly, but only to a very low extent and usually when I have gone for a long time indeed without any food. Its all too easy for me now to simply forget to eat.
