I drink so little that I had to look out up lol. "Hair of the dog", short for "hair of the dog that bit you", is a colloquial expression in the English language predominantly used to refer to alcohol that is consumed as a hangover remedy (with the aim of lessening the effects of a hangover). Many other languages have their own phrase to describe the same concept.

Unpopular opinion #2: You aren't curing a hangover. You're delaying it.

by icie90 1 week ago

I read one time that people who get very mild hangovers or none at all are more likely to develop alcoholism later on in life. And I believe it because I'm people. Thing is either way a person will end up feeling sick. Either they get hangovers and they avoid drinking often or the hangovers are very mild and if they have the predisposition for addiction they will eventually have a bad detox. Nobody wins with alcohol, it's poison regardless of how your body reacts to it.

Some people are just more prone to hangovers regardless of what they do to avoid one. I speak from experience because I'm like OP and get really bad hangovers ever since I started drinking at like 16.

Hangziety is a bitch. This happens to me, too. Then I repeat the same mistake the next weekend. I did quit drinking for over a year and it was awesome. Then I drank again and the hangovers got worse. It gets worse with age. So if you're young it won't get easier or better.

My tolerance for hangovers was pretty good from about 19-25 but it dropped off quickly after that. I used to be able to cure it with some ibuprofen, coffee, and a greasy breakfast. These days, all it takes is one beer and I'll wake up with a pounding head.

I get you, and I feel like a lot of people won't. I didn't get bad hangovers for the longest time. I have a family history of alcoholism and was far along on that road myself.

People don't realize how big an effect a hangover can have on your drinking habits if you get them all the time.

I guess I just don't understand the concept of drinking to be drunk... some alcoholic beverages have an exceptionally good taste. But, seriously, don't mix many alcohols and consider the quality of what you drink. At clubs and cheap parties the alcohol they mix into the cocktail causes at least a headache in any amount. And in cocktails you can't really taste the quality of what is in there due to all the sugar.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I would 100% agree; ever since I hit 30, my hangovers are two-day long ordeals. Drinking on a Friday night literally ruins my entire weekend. However, I recently bought these "hangover strips". You take one shortly before drinking and they're supposed to eliminate hangovers. I was skeptical, but they work pretty well. Normally, 2 or 3 cocktails would cause me to be groggy/dizzy the next day. If I take a strip before the two or three drinks, I feel virtually NOTHING the next day. I don't recommend drinking in general, but we all have vices. If you're going to drink, take a strip beforehand.

You can't just drink whatever you want and expect everything to be fine the next day The lower carb the better, they make zero carb seltzers, or you could make low carb cocktails with good quality vodka, significantly reducing chances and severity of a hangover. And eating healthy alongside that is just as important, you just shouldn't mix a bunch of sugar with alcohol, bad combo Taking a tums when you're done drinking or the next day can certainly help too

No hangovers gang, stand up! 🖐️ Beer and wine will always make you more hungover than hard liquor because of all the extra sugar. Waters always help, and so do electrolyte drinks like Gatorade, pedialyte or, my personal favorite, liquid IV. But for some reason, I'm a mutant and I can do none of these things and I always wake up feeling right as rain. (39M, been like this my whole life 🤷🏻‍♂️)

by Longjumping-Fee 1 week ago

Most symptoms of a hangover are from dehydration. Your body can expel 4 times more liquid than the one alcoholic beverage you consumed. For every drink you have it's suggested to also have a drink of water. Even if not 1-for-1 you should make efforts throughout the night to consume glasses of water too. But drinking isn't everybody's thing do what makes you happy, if drinking isn't it than drinking isn't it.

Drinking water will help with most hangovers. Part of the hangover is dehydration due to your body processing the alcohol. Put a glass of water by your bed before you start drinking/go out. Since you say you have rather severe headache and hangover what are may not be as effective as it is with most people. The trick with drinking is to do it slowly. We only feel the good part of getting drunk as our alcohol level increases. Once you plateau it's all downhill feeling. So the longer you can maintain the increase in alcohol the better you'll feel. Pace out your drinking. And no you don't need to get blinding drunk. That my friend, is called alcoholism.
