Hangovers…
Last weekend on Sunday I had the worst hangover I have had in over a year. The one before that been the night after my 21st birthday. Although my worst hangover ever …happened at a campsite (and unfortunately in a car ride down a windy mountain) in Saitama prefecture, Japan aged 19. James would agree that he also had the worst hangover ever that day also….It is really bad when you don`t have a proper toilet to throw up in…and worse still when the bathrooms have spiders! Actually out of the 20 of us camping together that weekend I think more than a few of us walked away feeling a bit worse for wear. It is never good to start drinking at 2pm and continue to till 5am then have to wake up at 8am to head back to Tokyo.
Anyway, no matter how sick I wake up the next day the next weekend I am always jumping back on the horse (so to speak) and having something delicious to drink. I am not saying I wake up every weekend with a hangover, with age I have actually gotten more of a handle on the `moderation is key` motto that my mother was always going on about. But sometimes I slip, or sometimes I go to bed feeling fine and still wake up feeling like I am dying. What`s with that?
AM I STUPID?
Is it just me, or is this a lesson people never seem to learn. I am sipping a glass of Aussie sparkling wine (good old Jacob`s Creek) as I write this thinking `What am I doing`….I don`t have a big night planned. Just dinner with some friends so the chances of me having a hangover tomorrow are near impossible but that said, who knows what the night will bring.
Despite the hangovers I have never given up on my favourites. Wine and Vodka. No matter how sick I am the next day the next weekend I will be back drinking one of the two….;Yet I hear all these stories of people that can`t stand the smell of certain booze due to a bad experience. Why hasn`t this happened to me? One friend suggested it was because I haven`t gotten sick enough off them, but I beg to differ.
Ok everyone, share your hangover cures. Is there really such a thing? There are a lot of theories but do any of them work?? I hate hangovers, and I doubt anyone out there is going to say they love them, but I mean I REALLY hate them. But not enough to give up drinking. I guess I am stupid.
People that do not get hangovers should not comment, because it will just piss me off!

Sweetheart, I suffer terribly from hangovers and am yet to find a cure.
After every single one i always swear off alcohol forever, and then like you, the next weekend i seem to have forgotten my vow.
If you find the cure, shout out. I’ll be needing it by Sunday morning.
All of my sensible friends swear by – 2-4 panadol and a big glass of water before bed (I have never tried this because I am always far too gone to find water let alone try to swallow panadol??!)
Other tips – NEVER mix and try not to drink cheap stuff (I know that sucks!!)
The headaches come from dehydration, your brain is so friggin sapped of its juices that it is shrivelling up in pain…so water is the key! (Again I have never tried this as I feel water fills valuable drinking space!! Yes I am Australian!!)
SLEEP is my only answer…these days I sleep through my hangovers! I wake up feeling like some one had better call an ambulance and force myself to black out in between stomache evacuations so I don’t have to endure the toturous, revolting pain! Why oh why do we do it???
Happy hangover!!
Drink as much water as you can right before you go to sleep, when you wake up feeling seedy after a few hours, drink as much water as you can, when you wake up drink as much water as you can and eat something greasy.
That’s my plans, but I’m one of those people who rarely gets hung over
Steph- Come back to check out the comments again to see if anyone has a fantastic cure. I feel for you, I do!
Sushi- I don`t mix…usually. I sometimes take panadol or something similar with water before sleep, problem is I don`t get headches from hangovers. I get really sick. If I had a headache as well, I think I would shoot myself.
I agree with sleep. Problem is I hardley ever wake up in my own bed. And when I do, there is usually at least 3 or 4 others sleeping on the floor.
I agree water fills valuable drinking space. I do try to drink a lot before sleep though, but sometimes it just makes me sicker.
Damn alcohol. Its the devil.
Jen- I used to think the water thing worked. But now it just makes me throw up. It sucks. I do like macdonalds breakfast after a big night out. Greasy enough?
Damn you for not getting many hangovers!
