Why am I still hungover???

[Ciaran187]

Yesterday I had a fierce head on me. That's fine and I accept that. The new year festivities went long into the morning, but by dinner time yesterday I was fine and looking for a rasher sandwich.

Now in work today, just finished me coffee and my head is splitting again. :bang: What the hell? I've drank about 5 litres of water yesterday and had some good sleep. What's going on? Have I been given someone else's hangover?

In the absence of a pillow and a duvet, what will get me to 5:30 this evening?

the hair of the dog.

paracetamol?

 

[Andy Monty]

re-hydration salts or isotonic lucosade

exactly.
coffee whilst giving you a caffine hit is also a diuretic
basically you pee more fluid out than you take in
you should have been fluid loading yesterday so you wouldnt be whining today about not being able to do the time for the crime

 

[Ciaran187]

I did the crime, I accept that. However, I feel the length of the sentence is excessive!

I drank about six million gallons of water yesterday to thereabouts.

Just went for some lunch and apparently wind and rain help. Headache gone and stomach better. Now I'm back downing the water!

water can only do so much you will be washing the salts and electrolytes out at the same time believe it or not too much water can kill

If I were you i'd be stocking up on the lemsips and stuff. You may well have picked up one of the cold viruses that are kicking about. If you feel no better tomorrow.......

beer

 

[volxstu]

Beer is always a good cure but before the night is over stop drinking alcohol and drink a couple of pints of OJ

 

[sammiboo]

full fat coke will help you as well as a fully loaded fry up.

If I have drunk heavy i will have a pint of water before i go to bed and for my breakfast will have loads of sugary pop and this stops any hangover before it starts.

I have to agree there. Even as little as one year ago I was well able for these all night / weekend parties. One in particular, started drinking one Friday after work (about 6:00) drank til pub closed. Then back to the girlfriend's house and drank a rather large amount of gin. Then about 8:00 in the morning, still drinking, went to an "informal" staff meeting (retail). Trying to stand up wasn't so easy. Then straight back home for more drinking. Crashed about mid day and had a few beers again that night.

Now, I stay up until 4:30 on new years and I'm still whining at 5:00 on the 2nd. So Alex, what I'm trying to say is, drink sensibly... in a few years. For now, go nuts.

Man Flu?

Only messing could be the start of a cold or the dreaded flu.
