Will drinking through a hangover really help?!


Question: Will drinking through a hangover really help!?
I have awoken after a night of vodka and wine and have a splitting headache as a result - I have a family lunch in 5 hours, and the question is do I drink or not!? I am also unsure whether I should spend the time in between sleeping or not!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
You should not have drunk so much, but since you have, a hangover is partly a withdrawal syndrome from an OD of alcohol!. so, a little bit of alcohol, theoretically, will help relieve the symptoms!. they used to call this "a hair of the dog that bit you"!. But take it easy!. don't use this as an excuse to overdo it again!. Just have a beer or a glass of wine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A hangover is primarily dehydration so yes, drinking water will help but only a bit!. The best thing is drinking heaps of water before going to bed and in between drinks!.

Alcohol is able to trick your body into thinking it doesn't need any water by numbing you to how dehydrated you actually are!. Without enough water during sleep the brain cannot properly replace cells, stimulate sufficient blood flow, release waste chemicals which are produced as it functions and a few other things!. With all these these problems the brain doesn't function properly and the buildup of unwanted chemicals causes the pain you feel!.

Remedy:
I'm not going to tell you to stop drinking, thats just stupid, i mean come on!. But i will tell you to try to drink about a liter of water before going to bed, and try to drink a glass of water in between every glass of wine and every 2 shots of vodka!. This should prevent hangovers!.

For treatment of hangovers: Grease
A greasy, oily, english breakfast really helps get you over hangovers; you know, bacon, sausages, eggs!.

If you don't have time for that crack a raw egg in to a glass and pour coke of something fizzy into a second glass!. Quickly chug down the egg the drink some coke to wash it down!. (The coke isn't necessary but you'll want something to quickly wash down the egg)!.
Do this twice if you're a big guy, after wards wait about 10minutes and then drink heaps of water if you stomach is settled!.

The point of this is the protein in the egg yoke will help a lot with the painful reaction to light and noise!.

also the caffeine in coffee will help you focus but you should also sleep so have the coffee later and just do the egg thing for now!.

To be honest, the "hair of the dog" is just a temporary fix!. Yes, you will feel better, and there is likely still quite a bit of alcohol in your system!. It's ez to get hammered again! Don't think your family would really appreciate that one!. Not to mention, if you do "double duty", and get drunk 2 days in a row!.!. the hangover on the 3rd is NOTHING compared to whatever your feeling now!.!. it's bad!.!. I mean REALLY bad!

My advice is to eat some warm comforting soup, drink an alka-seltzer (don't know what it is about those, but it REALLY helps my hangovers!), take an nap, and go see the fam! Your body AND your conscience will thank you later!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, if you want to show up drunk to the family lunch, then go ahead and drink!. If you'd rather not show up drunk, pop a few Tylenols and start chugging water!. Have two to three glasses now, go back to bed for awhile, then drink some more, etc!. Seriously, though!. Water or Gatorade will be your best bet right now!. (And some more sleep!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Drinking on top of your current hangover is just going to make the next one even worse!. All you are doing is delaying it by drinking more alcohol!. Think about it!? If you are dying sick now and you drink more alcohol then when that wears off you will be even worse than when you started out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That will teach you! I ask you wine AND vodka!?
Normally I would recommend a diluted"hair of the dog",but as you have an important lunch I think, on this occasion,I would be inclined to stay in bed!.Don't forget to change your clock!.

You'll just top up the alcohol still swilling around!. If you get through the first few sips, you'll be pissed again and you probably won't need to sleep!. have a great time at the family lunch!. if I were you, I'd try hair of the dog:-)Www@FoodAQ@Com

a couple of tylenol and some hair of the dog that bit you, if you cannot get it down without gagging then plug your nose but believe me, after a small drink or two you will feel absolutely fine!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com
