I’ve always hated how alcohol commercials play up like a cool beer is the best thing in the world, or a glass of whiskey is what will put hair on your chest. It’s a disgusting narrative that ruins people’s lives.
On social media, there’s a huge variety of it. People posting how they were sober on NYE. Folks sharing before/after as they’ve gone cold turkey. I see people share tips of what type of mocktails to get at bars, and alternatives to having a fun night over getting drunk.
I appreciate that.
And this is not bashing alcohol. Moderation in everything.
Headaches. Vomiting. Like the flu.
I learned a few tricks to avoid hangovers. Drinking water in-between drinks, ramen noodles before sleeping(or whatever your favorite soup is) and avoiding getting to a point where the world spins when your eyes are closed.
Huh. I may have lucked into doing things right then. I always drink plenty of water, tea, etc. even when drinking alcohol as well.
If you’re not into ramen, look into hydration products like liquid IV. The ramen is filling a similar role in that it’s salty AF, so you’re helping replenish electrolytes that help prevent the hangover.
Ever since I started including one or two of those in my post drinking/pre bedtime routine and I haven’t had a hangover in years.
If you’re consuming that much sodium, you’re gonna also want to drink water though because it can dehydrate you. Which also causes/worsens hangovers.
Yeah, art if my routine when drinking is to never have rounds in a row, its always a glass of water in between. Liquid IV/ramen broth are water based, so that helps as well
I try to do 1:1 alcohol to water (one glass of water per alcoholic beverage), but that often becomes hard to enforce on myself after a couple of drinks lol
I don’t have an issue with doing 1:1 because the spectre of a hangover makes even drunk passerby keep their shit together. Who has time to lose one of your too few free days to bedlock? Migraines to that enough as it is…
You are greatly overestimating my capacity for proper executive functioning.
Legit. I’m (surprisingly) good at that just out of fear lol. It’s amazing what pavlovian training can do
