Almost 30 and I don’t remember ever getting such a bad hangover. Heck, I used to get sober on the way home before even crashing on the bed.
Beeing a teenager definitely is a superpower you’re not fully aware of or sufficiently appreciating at the time. Drink a bottle of vodka in one night and wake up and go for a run? No problem.
TBF it was never a good one.
indeed
I had my fair share of fun drinking with friends before, but I’ll admit it’s very overrated.
Drinking is fun. Getting drunk sucks.

Idk if hangovers are more intensive for me or if I’m just overly sensitive, but I’ve stopped getting drunk simply because of hangovers. I’m just past the point where the upsides of drinking alcohol aren’t worth the intensity of the hangover after it. It’s just not fun anymore.
And I don’t understand how people the same age as me or older still get wasted and just shrug at the hangover, if they even have one. I still drink alcohol rarely, but probably never get wasted at memory-loss level ever again.
I’ve never tolerated alcohol well so for me it’s just as bad now as it was when I was a teen. I just get sleepy which makes me want to go home at 12 and the day afterward I spend half my day puking, even after just a couple of beers.
Drinking alcohol is always a terrible idea. It always damages your body, mind, and life itself. No, “small amounts of wine” don’t fucking count. That nonsense has been entirely and thoroughly disproven.
Don’t drink. That’s like shooting yourself in the dick with a gun, on purpose. If you’re a woman, you do it to your kids. Not literally, that an explanatory metaphor, dumbass. I know I have to explain that shit now because I know you’ve drank alcohol before…on fucking purpose no less.

God I wish I could do that. Weed was always my drug but my job and a lot of them that pay well where I live drugs test and it’s still illegal in my country.
Yeah as you get older you really need to make sure you’re drinking enough water before you knock out and probably get something in your stomach otherwise you’re in for a bad time.
Might be a placebo but drinking those “liquid IV” mixes have been a game changer since once I’m drunk enough I don’t like to drink regular water but I can convince drunk me to drink those at least and it’s saved me so many hangovers lol
Hydration is so huge for hangover prevention. If I’m going hard for some reason, I’ll chase shots with those IV mixes.
I have salty watermelon Promix packs that I’ll mix into water when needed. They’re primarily for my workouts, but they’re great for getting you hydrated quickly when drinking.
When I was younger that was enough to totally avoid a hangover, but over time it got to be more like a way to make it less bad, still going to have a headache at least no matter what at two drinks or more.
I was always hungover when drinking young. Then I stopped getting hangovers because I had an alcohol problem. Then I stopped drinking. YMMV.
yep, I’ve been discovering the virtues of low-alcohol beer. perhaps they had it right in the middle ages with small beer
Yep totally not worth it, if I even get drunk to slightly merry the next day is a write off

I was like that too, but for a while now I’ve had much worse hangovers than I ever had.
I’m in my 40s and haven’t drank anything in over a month at this point. I never really drank heavily, but I hate how it makes me feel in general. I also looked around at the men my age and they all have dad bod with the gut. In the words of Radiohead: I’m “fitter, happier, more productive.”
I wonder how biology plays into this. I never noticed a huge shift in hangover intensity. Yeah they got a little worse in my 30s but nothing as debilitating as what I’ve been lead to believe would happen.
Really depends what you drink. Avoid sugar, and low quality stuff. Also, eat food and drink water.
