Have a Gatorade before and after you drink.
There ya go, fellow 30-something party people, saved ya a hangover, just hope with that no one suggests a venue change to the club at 11:30
If I'm out of the house past 10, something has already gone terribly wrong.
Some young dude caught me yawning at a Rammstein concert this summer. I told him I couldn’t help it because it was past 9.
I guess drinking 75+ is technically drinking 30+...
Absolutely not gonna help lol
I've learned that people who talk about these remedies or say they don't get hangovers drink a lot less than I do
Most of the hangover is just dehydration, so the Gatorade really does help a lot. Pedialyte or a different sports drink would do similarly, but also getting in shape, sleeping right, drinking plenty of water on the days you're not drinking helps mitigate the issues with a little indulgence just fine.
But, everyone is different so your milage may vary.
Yeah I can drink Gatorade, have a full meal before bed, stop drinking an hour before bed, have an antacid, everything. If I'm "drunk" at any point of the night I am done for the next day
I don't get hangovers anymore. You'd have to sober up to get a hangover. An if I'd sober up, the depression wold be a far greater concern.
Yeah I didn't really understand hangovers until I slowed my drinking down to reasonable levels, and then to barely at all. Now it's not so much a hangover, but I notice I'm not really 100% percent for a couple of days after some drinks.
This is why I like weed. All the fun of the buildup, with no dropoff.
Weed mostly just gives me anxiety since I hit 30. I used to be a daily smoker in my teens and twenties.
Weed makes me hallucinate while being super paranoid, it's not actually safe for me to be unsupervised.
Worst hangover I ever had, I was 20 and spent an entire May day working with my brother scraping and painting a small shed, and replacing the shingles. Took us about ten hours give or take. We had an occasional beer but nothing crazy.
Once done we each polished off about ten Labatt 50s while we watched hockey, then went out to meet friends. Got home at about 2 am.
Woke up the next day like someone had driven a spike through my head and was drumming the ends that stuck out with steel rods.
I was screwed for about 36 hours. Realized as I was recovering that I hadn't had a drop of water all that day, just stopped working to sip on a cold beer every once in a while.
Lesson fucking learned. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
And not just water, electrolytes as well! Keep drinking the beer and water and your gonna piss out all your needed salts very quickly which can still lead to dehydration. Every 3 glasses of water drink one body armor (or Gatorade or your preferred electrolyte drink/mix) basically and you should be relatively a ok the next day.
Edit: made the last sentence a bit more clear
36 hours was like a standard hangover for me after I hit my 30s.
I'm now 40 and haven't gotten drunk in years because it isn't worth losing the rest of my weekend and going into the work week for 4 hours of marginal fun on Friday.
Yeah, a lack of hydration alone will make me wake up feeling like death. Combine that with any booze and it isn't a good time.
Drinking in my 30s really meant that I won't get much of a buzz, but will feel bloated and get a headache later. Also, unless I do all my drinking early in the day, I won't get a good night's sleep because my heart will be racing.
So...only have 2-3 drinks max for the day and do it before the sun sets so I have the evening to process it. Or don't bother at all since the benefits don't really outweigh the cost. Staying hydrated throughout is important but doesn't really fix any of the aforementioned issues.
Hydration is definitely key. I used to think light beer was well engineered because I rarely got sick off it, but it really just has the water built in..
If I start hydrating early during the day, keep to clear liquor, limit my intake, stop in the early evening, and take some electrolytes at bedtime, I can usually mitigate 90% of the hangover. I will still have terrible sleep.
But, why am I doing all this? It's just easier to stay sober these days.
When you're on antidepressants that dark place is filled with brain spiders.
Been there, done that. Never again.
When I hit my 30s it's like my body just stopped being and to digest alcohol correctly. I wouldn't even call it a hangover. Just a lingering uncomfortable feeling my stomach and a more than usual number of trips to the bathroom for 24 hours after. Even if I only have a few beers.
I've all but given up drinking at this point.
A friend of mine got that too. Even a glass of wine started to make him very sick. He had to give up drinking altogether.
I'm just intrigued by the level of the wine in the last panels. I guess it implies that she's accelerating down the hill faster than free fall? Which I guess fits.
My superpower is not having hangovers 🗿 🗿 (for now)
39 and still don't understand why people complain. Just hydrate, poop, eat, poop again, go back to normal.
Because people are built different. I've been so nauseous from drinking the night before that I just immediately threw up every gulp of water I took, even at about 20.
I used to be able to drink a lot, but I stopped over covid and now I'm pretty green after, like, one glass of wine. Cider is instant vomit mode. Pathetic. Now it's just Coronas and sadness.
Then, in your forties you drink a single beer, feel nothing, and have the mother of all hangovers. I've more-or-less given up drinking at this point.
yall really dont drink water huh?
30 here drink does nothing to me but i drink a glass of water eve3night before bed lmao
drank a margarita last night woke up at 5 am
see a doctor
Hmm, I did some pretty heavy drinking in my 30s but rarely had hangovers. I have no data for my 40s because I just haven't had much desire to drink, or to drink that much when I do drink.
I have always been prone to having horrible hangovers, even in my twenties. Dihydromyricetin has saved my almost forty year old ass from the worst of them by now.
