No hangover after 3 vodkas and smirnoff ices. Why?
Hello guys! Yesterday was a great party and I drank vodka for the first time in my life. I had 3 shots after 2 bottles of Smirnoff Ice. The results were deplorable - I was lying on the floor, puking, all the nicities of irresponcible drinking. In my defense, it was my first time drinking vodka, and apparently it has a different effect than all the other beverages. I was trying to find my treshold, but it found me instead. At any rate, I got home at 3:30 AM and it is now 8:00 AM the next day; I am refreshed and have no signs of hangover... I never do after a night of that sort. What is up with that?
Answers:
Their are a few reasons why you have no hang over. One is that you drank vodka, which was probably tripled distilled. Vodka does not normally give people hang overs because it has only a little amount of impurities in it. The smirnoffs can give some people hang overs, but you only had three. Plus they aren't nearly as bad as like some other drinks. Lastly and most importantly, you puked. So you won't be dehydrated as much. As long as you ate before hand, drank a good amount of liquids before hand as well, and don't drink anything that is like filled with impurities (aka whiskey) you shouldn't be all that hung over. Provided you don't drink an entire keg by yourself.
Its because you puked last night. If you would'nt have puked then you would have been sorry today!
Enjoy it. I never used to get them either. But now that I am in my 30's they are bad enough that I think twice before having more than 2-3 drinks. To avoid a hangover though, eat well and drink plenty of water throughout the night and the next morning to keep yourself hydrated well.
Pure luck or maybe cause you puked it out of your system lol :)
you probably upchucked enough booze that you wouldn't feel it tomorrow
Several things working here:
1. Yes, vomiting does remove residual alcohol from your system, so that helps eliminate the hangover. Then again, you got home at 3:30, I'm going to presume you started drinking before 10, and so that was five drinks (or were the shots double? which would be eight) in at least 5 hours? That's not enough to get a normal person drunk--do you weigh under 110?
I consider it possible that you were lying on the floor puking in part because you were tired, and perhaps you also had come down with a short-term virus or eaten something unwholesome?
Or did you knock down the two ices and the three shots in a space of about 30 minutes? That could do it...
2. Vodka is the least hangover-prone of all the booze in the world. Hangovers are primarily the result of dehydration (alcohol does that) and the effects of color and flavor agents in the liquor. As an odorless, colorless, tasteless beverage, vodka has less of the stuff of which hangovers are made--the worst of all hangovers comes from over-consuming those sweet, intense liqueurs like Amaretto, Kahlua, Chambourd, Jagermeister, etc.
Everybody's system works differently to different types of alchohol. Since it was your first time drinking vodka, and excessively, your body can just shut down to any effects as you sleep, or vodka does not give you as much of an after-effect with the ingredients. I wouldn't go chancing it again, because it also counts as your first time having it, which plays into it. plus you probabely got it out of you the night before as well, which could have helped.
In general, vodka does not give hangover, also you had vomited, I think, you must have drunk lot of water after a vomit. Remember, whenever you get a vomit because of overdose of alcohol, always drink a lot of water.
