Good lord, I’ve been hammered the last few nights playing Skyrim until 5am. I love vacation time!

Edit- Been drinking Founders Breakfast Stout and Bell’s Two Hearted ale.

I can shout like a goddamn DRAGON!!!

Hangovers get way, way worse as you get older. I don’t think I can handle more than one a year now. I guess this fills my quota.

RichVR · 2011-11-13T20:27:12.000Z

Please, if I may, discuss hangovers. As an ex-bartender, and as well a bouncer at a bar…

The idea that hangovers get worse as you get older is… strange to me.

Hangovers will indeed happen, but it has a lot to do with the way you prepare for your drinking, not so much your age.

I have a few ideas, as a bartender, that might help.

Before you leave you house, make sure you have a large bottle of water in your freezer. If you are out long enough for a 2 liter bottle of water to freeze solid, you have been out too long.
Leave yourself a meal. It’s simple. Leave yourself a bowl of rice. Rice will absorb the alcohol in your stomach, It will take longer to be absorbed. into your intestines. Trust me, this works great.
Leave yourself a couple of aspirin next to the rice. Eat them first, with ice cold water. Then eat the rice.
Then drink as much ice cold water as you can. Then, go to the damn bathroom. Sit on the toilet until you pee. And then wait. You will probably pee more. Yes I said sit, you’re drunk. Trust me.
Then go to bed. Put the half bottle of ice next to your bed. Yeah, you drank all of the liquid. Now you have a bottle with ice in it.
In the middle of the night you will wake up. Drink the water that is now there, ice cold. And go pee again. At this point, you may wonder, “Why don’t I feel like shit? I usually do now.”

That is because the aspirin and rice have been doing their magic. You will be fine in 2 hours. Because you have awakened at 3 AM. As we all do.

You make awaken again to pee. This is okay.
Get up around 8AM and take a dump with only a minor headache and your stomach a bit queasy.

Nothing will stop a hangover. But you can lessen an effect.

Why would I be wakening at 3am? Pubs close at 2am here. So; 15 minutes chat with friends, 15/30 minutes to get a curry chips, 30 minutes to get home, then an hour of shitposting on the interbuttes. I’d be lucky ot be in bed by four am.

Well it’s obviously the Old People’s Guide to Pain Free Drinking. If you are waking up at 3AM after drinking and consider that the middle of the night you are doing it just so wrong. 5:30AM is the middle of the night if you have to be up at 8AM for work and 8AM is the middle of the night if you can afford to sleep in (not that it is the middle of the night, it’s just when my inner clock forces me to wake up no matter what I did the night before then I decide whether to go back to sleep or get up).

Also if you wake up in the middle of the night you didn’t drink enough to need a ten step hangover prevention plan. If I drink even remotely close to a hangover amount I’m down for the count until at least 8.

RichVR · 2011-11-15T17:57:34.000Z

Granted that the times may be off for each individual, but it does work.

Houngan · 2011-11-15T18:05:38.000Z

Easy shorthand version: Eat before drinking. Stop drinking 2 hours before sleeping. Drink water during drinking and after drinking until bed. No drugs needed.

Thanks a lot, Houngan. There goes my cash flow.

W_Wiley · 2011-11-16T00:17:12.000Z

Can’t play skyrim drunk. At least well.

Damien_Falgoust · 2011-11-16T01:08:43.000Z

Maybe the in-game booze will cancel out the RL booze.

Shadari · 2011-11-19T19:48:28.000Z

Aw man, surely I’m not the only one that’s somewhat drunk tonight! Oh well, I’m gonna post another Katy Perry video, and I know you all are rolling your eyes right about now, and I don’t blame you, but just watch the last 30 seconds or so of this video… If your eyes aren’t at least a tad bit wet, you’re simply not a human being.

PS: If you’re a Johnny Cash fan, at least watch the end as I recommended.

RichVR · 2011-11-19T19:59:07.000Z

This is my favorite drunk song.

Elvira.

Shadari · 2011-11-19T20:02:22.000Z

Oh man, I love the Oak Ridge Boys! Hell, I used to live just up the road in good ol’ Erwin, Tennessee!

But Patsy Cline is way better… sorry dude!

Shadari · 2011-11-19T20:05:51.000Z

Dang it, I hate it when I wanna PvP in WoW but know that I’m pretty much too drunk to be worth a fuck. Argh!

RichVR · 2011-11-19T20:09:59.000Z

I’ll see your Patsy and raise you aFool for Love.

Shadari · 2011-11-19T20:13:37.000Z

listening

After a few seconds I was about to call you a… insert bad name here

But hell, it’s an okay song I guess.

Anyway, I’m drunk as hell now…doing push ups and banging my chest all alone in my cave. Yelling and singing rock and country songs… all macho and ready to kick some fucking ass.

But sadly, when I pee I have to sit down. ARgh!!!

Anyway, I’ll raise you…

A little George! :P

RichVR · 2011-11-19T20:23:33.000Z

Not bad. How about Harry Chapin and 30,000 Pounds of Bananas?

Shadari · 2011-11-19T20:29:56.000Z
