"I never get hangovers"

[roogi]

Partly inspired by the 147 bottles of wine thread, but are some people immune to hangovers, bullstting or just putting on a brave face.

It's very annoying when I'm suffering with a colossal hangover for some smug git to announce that they never get hangovers? My assumption is that they obviously didn't drink enough.

Bloke at work reckons he's never got a hangover or even headache. In the 10 years I've known him I've never seen him drink a bit too much and given that he's our compliance, process check, tick box man, I put it down to he doesn't try hard enough.

Isn't it dehydration by any other name?

Im a case for not yet having a hangover. Unsure why, I certainly drink enough, I dont drink regulary, but night out with the boys, and I tend to be the one trying all the silly challenges, mixing etc.

Following morning, they are all rough, hanging, Im normally off to work, or outside doing the car. Im sure one day it will catch me up. Only thing I ever feel is tired, but im guessing thats down to the 5am arrival at home, and still being up by 8.

Lucky - for now - my dad still doesnt suffer, mum does, so im hoping I can take after my father.

I never used to get them... then I hit my 30s.

I swear each one gets worse...

Proper session sees me debilitated for up to 3 days after.

I used to be able to get away with in in my early 20s... but they are getting worse.

People who say.. "i dont get hangovers"... they have not drank enough!!

Last Sunday I didn't get out of bed till 5pm unless being sick! Not even a lovely fry up would do the trick, didn't even go mad on the booze!

Usually I'm ok if I have a decent meal few hours before going out, down a few pints of water and headache pills when I get in

[Smitters]

I've had hangovers since I began drinking - I never had that joy of youth where you could mix all sorts and be fine. Eventually go so bad it was one of the factors in quitting full stop - the downside of the next day just wasn't worth the night before.

Based on my being on one end of the scale, I assume there are people out there who can process alcohol really well and thus barely feel it. Gits.

This. And the spewing started at 30. Next day without fail if it's a proper session.

This x10000. FACT.

2 ibroproufen and 2-3 pints of water before bed prevents them very effectively in my experience

Not for me.

Also ibuprofen is not a good idea if you've an upset (empty) stomach, can cause gastric bleeding which is very serious.

Its better than paracetemol though, which is very bad for the liver.

Oddly I find marijuana works wonders for me, knocks me out, and I get a decent sleep. Not so good if hungover in the morning where it can make me feel rather sick and light headed

[roogi]

My worst symptom with them is the nausea and spewing, what's the best prevention/cure for this besides drinking less?

[Council Baby]

I drink plenty, and don't suffer other than tiredness and occasionally still feeling a little pissed or fuzzy headed in the morning. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel great sometimes but can usually brush it off very easily. Never get headaches or sick or anything afterwards.

I puke if I smoke dope when I've been drinking. I reckon I'd be more likely to die from choking on my own vomit than gastric bleeding.

Puking has never really been a problem for me with my hangovers. More just the feeling that I'm going to die. When I drink, I don't notice any negative symptoms, I'm probably too hammered to notice any!

Mind you this wasn't the case when younger, when even a couple of pints would make puke. This has come about from years of practice!

My first heavy session in my thirties was probably my last.
I'm now too terrified to get bladdered for fear of the next morning.

Yeah I agree definitely worse.

I still go out every Friday, but my word, Saturdays are definitely a test of ones endurance and determination to keep breathing!

I won't say I never get hangovers but they are rare! I have never let feeling peaky stop me from a straightener the next day though, unlike my mate who is next to useless after a skin full!
