I’ve always hated how alcohol commercials play up like a cool beer is the best thing in the world, or a glass of whiskey is what will put hair on your chest. It’s a disgusting narrative that ruins people’s lives.
On social media, there’s a huge variety of it. People posting how they were sober on NYE. Folks sharing before/after as they’ve gone cold turkey. I see people share tips of what type of mocktails to get at bars, and alternatives to having a fun night over getting drunk.
I appreciate that.
And this is not bashing alcohol. Moderation in everything.
I’ve never actually had a hangover in my life, despite drinking since I was 16.
What does it feel like?
It feels like being sick with a horrible cold with nausea and vertigo but without a fever or runny nose.
Headaches. Vomiting. Like the flu.
I learned a few tricks to avoid hangovers. Drinking water in-between drinks, ramen noodles before sleeping(or whatever your favorite soup is) and avoiding getting to a point where the world spins when your eyes are closed.
Huh. I may have lucked into doing things right then. I always drink plenty of water, tea, etc. even when drinking alcohol as well.
Like being poisoned.
I remember being this. I also remember everyone telling me to enjoy it while it lasts… and they’re aboslutely right.
One day it just goes away. Suddenly you have a hangover for the first time, and then that’s it. You’re no longer the “I don’t get hangovers” person.
I’m 58. I’m pretty sure that if I haven’t had one by now I won’t have one.
Well dont binge drink and youll be fine.
Stuff your mouth full of cotton, and find someone to kick you in the head a few times. That’s pretty close.
Sounds uncomfortable. Maybe i should buy some ibuprofen in preparation
It feels like you are piloting an older flesh suit with a dying battery. The actions are on a slight delay, there a weird buzzing in the head, everything feels dry even after drinking water, and light is the enemy. That is at least how it is when I get a weed hangover. I haven’t had an alcohol one in ages some I stopped drinking drinking.
Like someone didn’t hit me in the face with a crowbar.
