I'm a professional alcoholic now, but a few years back when I first started drinking heavily, I killed almost a whole fifth of Hawkeye vodka by myself, passed out, and woke up feeling like I had the poo poo beat out of me. I took some medicine for the headache, dragged my drunk rear end to the liquor store next door and got one of those Sparks energy/beer things, chugged that, tried to take a bath, thinking the warm water would help. I had to crawl out a few minutes later to puke my guts out. At least I made it to the toilet. The memory is kinda hazy, but I think I spent most of my day falling in and out of consciousness, and thowing up. Medicine and milk are the worst things to throw up, I don't recommend it.

ClamdestineBoyster posted:Hahaha weaksauce bruh lol. Personally I think it depends on a lot of factors. You can get super drunk one night and be fine the next day but then another time you might wake up with a headache that literally lasts for hours and hours. It's probably something to do with what you ate, how much water you've had, the frequency you drank, etc. I'm no science man, however. E: oh yeah not REALLY a hangover but there was also that one night I was drinking all night at my ex's birthday party and right before I went to bed while we were straightening up a bit for some reason I decided it would be a good idea to chug what was left of a lovely cherry four loko. I woke up in the middle of the night still half drunk and looking for the bathroom, luckily my ex saw me covering my mouth and directed my shambling form to the actual door out of her room because I nearly threw up in her closet. Good times. Starman Super DX fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Oct 1, 2016 |

It didn't make me blind though, and hearing my doctor advise me to "drink whiskey" was a very odd thing - thought I was having auditory hallucinations for a bit. But I'm still alive!

I once spent an entire week drunk. I drank all day, went to sleep drunk, woke up still drunk, and started drinking at breakfast. Repeat for five days. The hangover after that nearly put me in the hospital. It was so bad that I could taste rum in my eyesockets. Like, I was literally getting taste sensations out of my tear ducts. That was five years ago and I have not been drunk since and rarely have more than one or two drinks every few months.

That's weird as hell. Pot usually has the opposite effect. It makes a hangover much easier to deal with.

The only time I've ever blacked out was at a party where me and some other already-drunk people decided it'd be a cool idea to keep refilling the punch bowl with sour mix and whatever liquor was lying around. I spent the rest of the weekend in bed and consuming nothing but crackers and ginger ale.

An entire bottle of cheapo Lidl bourbon in about 4 hours killed me for the next two days. Couldn't even drink water or sleep because i kept throwing up and my head felt like it was going to explode. Time traveled at one of my friends 30th birthdays. Started doing shots of Jim Beam at about 8pm - *scene missing* - woke up the next day at around 2pm back home in bed with zero clue of how i got there and my house is about 10km from the bar we were in. Full day hangover there whilst i tried to piece together what happened from other people who were there. I'm real good at drinking bourbon.

"Pukefest 2006" aka Puke-a-mania A spirit club called the Hellraisers at the University of Texas (the guys who paints their faces and chests for the games-- you might have seen them on TV) used to host an annual party called Puke Fest. There were 13 stations set up each with a different shot and after each shot you would get a letter written on your forearm; the goal being to write T-E-X-A-S L-O-N-G-H-O-R-N-S down your forearms. Freshman typically blasted through all of the letters in an hour or so and bragged about how great they felt until *POW*, vomiting in the backyard. Considering myself a 'savvy' sophomore I only did "Texas LongH" before I stopped. For whatever reason that year the crowd was more aggressive than usual and people were puking everywhere. I remember carrying a few people who had been vomiting inside the house where the party was being held out back before I decided to get a ride home. Credit my Irish genes I guess, I made it home and never puked but the next day I legitimately though I had the flu. Deathly ill. Runner up: Law School, end of the year party after my second year a 3L from my Taxation of Corporations class bought be a shot of fernet branca. It was a good 36 hours before I felt right.

Sometimes I'll drink a bunch of tall boys after a soccer game or bike ride and feel fine, other times I split a single bottle of red over a big dinner and wake up with my brain crashing against the back of my eyeballs. Sometimes I pass out for two hours on an empty stomach with no issue and other times I hydrate plenty and take an ibuprofen before eight hours of sleep and still get hosed in the brain stem.

An empty stomach means the alcohol gets to your liver much faster, and is processed much faster - because it doesn't have stupid things like "food" to deal with. That's why when you crack the seal and take your first piss of the night, after that you are destined to take a piss every one or two pints of beer. And stupid poo poo like drinking pint of water before bed won't help, if you are truly drunk - you will still be drunk while you sleep and the enzyme/amino acid (alcohol dehydrogenase) will keep working/not working, whichever it does, so all you will do is make you wake up and piss out all that water, leading to a lovely night's sleep. And on that note, time is the only cure for a bad hangover - or another GABA drug like diazepam, which can cure you right up. The hair of the dog works fine, but only delays your hangover as your liver switches to metabolizing the lovely chemicals like methanol, and waits until they are clear before it starts trying to murder you again. But at least if you take it easy on the drinks, your hangover will happen while you are asleep the next night. I find whiskey/whisky/bourbon kills me the next day - I can happily drink 10 pints over an evening, and wake up OK - but one whiskey on top of that and I am a zombie. For some reason, despite the "congeners" theory, red wine leaves me fine, but white leaves me feeling like shite - no idea why. Source - 40 year heavy drinker who has to be able to do my job 100% Monday-Friday, but also likes to drink a lot during the week. Normally drink well over 110 units a week. Liver tests come back fine, but trust me - do the best of your drinking when you are younger, it hits you a lot less hard!

years ago my buddy had just got out of the marines, we were way too well-behaved to drink when we were in high school, so we'd never got drunk together before and we planned a party to fix that a couple days before the party i unexpectedly broke up with my girlfriend, i knew going in that drinking while depressed was bad news, but i decided "gently caress it the party will do me good to have friends around" anyway one of the friends that showed up was pregnant with child and couldn't drink, so she egged us on to have drinks for her and kept telling us we "need another drink" i blacked out sometime after 11pm, my buddy got to put his experience in the marines to good use as he helped me throw up into a bucket and get me upstairs into bed. i woke up in the morning still drunk and then later developed a massive hangover that lasted all weekend long. we drank friday night and it still hurt to move on sunday, hell i think i was still feeling fuzzy and crunchy on monday morning. i even had a subconjunctival hemorrhage that lasted for several days (it turned yellow and green as it faded)

I drank more than that for 6, 7 years straight. Litre of vodka to start the day at 9am, with orange juice for breakfast. Keep drinking the lovely $9 a bottle stuff all day. 5 pints at lunchtime, another 3 or 4 at dinner. Then I'd go out drinking. I went to university in Dundee, Scotland - the place is unbearable without being drunk.

I would love to be able to drink like that, because I love whiskey, Armagnac, and a nice white wine - but the next day I just have the head wobblies all day long. and the hangover gets WORSE as the day goes on!

I woke up to a puke covered bed, realized I was late for work. Got to work puked up alcohol into a trash bin 10 minutes into shift. I had such a bad hangover I gave 0 shits about my job at that moment, went into my bosses office said I was going home and that I was very hung over and we could talk about this later. I don't know that I'm more shocked that he let me leave and drive home or that I wasn't fired. Backstory: I did I don't even know how many shots that friends bought for me I started stacking shot shot glasses and some shattered, I was so drunk I tried eating the glass because I thought it was ice.

The head of customer service at my former part-time job took about 8 of us out when one of the girls in the office was going through a divorce. Everything was on him (company credit card) and we all had steaks at a fairly expensive waterside restaurant and I had countless long islands, shots, and one of the guys ordered me a whiskey and Coke (his drink of choice) at one point. After that, we moved on to a bar in a little town a couple miles down the road and played pool. That's when it really caught up with me. My wife drove us home and poo poo was spinning for the entire 30 minute drive. We get toward the front door and I heave what looked like a pink meatloaf (regurgitated medium-rare steak) into the mulch. The next day I shoveled it up and tossed it into the retention pond next to my house. I had the most horrible headache ever and didn't do much the next day. My late brother's homemade absinthe (with wormwood) was a real hangover inducer, but its delightful licorice flavor was just too delicious to pass up. There was always one guy hanging out at his house that I'd talk into matching shots of absinthe and it always ended with him puking after 1 or two shots of it.

the worst kind of hangover is the one that sneaks up on you, you wake up feeling fine, sometimes even good, and then bam 2-3 hours later it comes full force its bad because sometimes it doesn't hit, you never know if it will come or not  hangovers are a bit like gambling

Spent a couple months drinking bottom shelf bourbon, one afternoon I woke up shaking like crazy, unable to walk straight, and needing to take an explosive poo poo. Spent a whole week like that because I pretty much killed most of my intestinal flora and was withdrawing like hell. Lost around 25 pounds though so it wasn't all bad.

three or four years ago we did a halloween party that turned into something out of a movie, like there were people in my house I did not invite or even know at all and both floors were just packed with people doing stupid poo poo and there was just so much booze we started off with jello shots, then into some really, REALLY good jungle juice my wife made, and then as my buzz was growing, my friend decided to make us screwdrivers, and at that point it becomes hazy, but I ended up polishing off an entire bottle of choya plum wine myself, as well as a few beers [and one beer bong], numerous other mixed drinks, a bottle of really good sake with the help of a friend of mine, and a few swigs straight off of various bottles I was hung over for several days and didn't drink for months, I still have problems with plum wine despite loving it before this the worst part of all was the beer bong was loving busch, but by then I was too drink to taste anything and the second worst thing was waking up in the morning, painfully hung over, and being greeted by the smell of dozens of half-empty busch cans in my kitchen
