How old are you, how bad are your hangovers and how long do they last. I am attempting to find out if it's getting old that is turning me into a wimp.
age: 38
badness of average hangover(1=ok,10=dead) :7
duration of hangover: 1 day

I never get hangovers, mostly because I never drink myself silly. Whenever I do drink, I always drink 1 glass of water per each drink I've had before the night is over. Never woken up with a headache when I've done that.
The times I didn't, and had a hangover headache, oranges worked the best for me. Assuming I wasn't sick to my stomach of course. :)

Depends on how much is consumed
On the average...
age: 17
badness: 2-3

It is defiantely age that is affecting you man...
I used to be able to "pound 'em back" with the best of them...example...on my 21st birthday I did 21 shots of rum to celebrate...fortunately threw most of it up at various times during that evening, but the next day I had my first beer at 10.30am.
Just last Saturday we had our Christmas Party...I overdid it for the first time in a loooong time. I was useless for the whole of Sunday....my hangover was unreal!

Hangovers have gotten much worse with age. I usually spend the whole next day after holding my couch down.
-
Age does affect hangovers: you just can't metabolize that crap as fast as you used to.
So does a bunch of other things. Many (but not all) California wines, for example, give me colossal hangovers, whereas the European models often don't. Of course, in such matters I am (usually) a patriot. :D

When I had hangover with upset stomach pickled herring did the trick for me felt like new in about 30 minutes after chowin' down a half a jar.
40 going on 18
But I believe the best cure is don't drink which is the course I took about 2 years ago.

Was the herring used to enduce vomiting or something? YUCK! Are you Danish by any chance?

I drink lots of water and I get no headache; thats not what bothers me.
Its the awful BAD TASTE in the morning. Ive tried everything, I was my mouth before I go to bed, and in the morning, there it is: an awful bad taste. Unbearable.

Ok con story time :) I drank aprox. 1/3 to 1/2 of a bottle of Jose Quervo especial. At this point I would have been ok had I stopped. BUT :) one of my last coherent memories of the night was at the bar and Sally handed me a pitcher of beer to hand to somebody at a table behind me. My last memory of the night was standing outside durring the fire alarm with "Sinclare" and drinking from said pitcher. ( I found the empty pitcher at my CPU the next morning ;) )
I woke up at 6:30 am on Sunday with the worst hangover I've ever had. I litteraly thought my brain was bleeding it hurt so bad, worst headache in my life. I was sick too, only there was nothing in my stomach but the remains of that pitcher, naste old sour 1/2 digested beer, tap beer at that. I was screwed in a big way because I knew I had a 4 hour drive ahead of me.
I dry heaved for about two hours before I finaly got smart. I knew I had to throw up to get better. So I started drinking water and swooshing it around in my gut. HEHE sounded cool. Basicly I was cleaning the walls of my stomach from the crud, it felt good too. About 2 min later I hurled HUGELY! and repeated the proccess. at about 9 am I went back to bed and slept until 10 or 10:30 (i think). When I woke up I was really tired and worn out, but my headache was gone and I didn't feel pukey any longer.
Water is the key i think.

Ah... what a fitting day for this thread.
We had the company christmas party last night (translation: free beer). I really did not feel especially drunk (no nauseau, spins... I was completely coherent, just felt a bit buzzed.) I ate some biscuits when I got home, and drank as much water as I could cram into myself, yet today I've been almost completely incapacitated. I actually had to go home at lunchtime and GO BACK TO BED!?!
This is not right. I think that the beer they provided (fat tire - dirty micro-brew crap) is to blame. I could've drank the same amout of St. Pauli, or Paulaner and probably felt okay today.

Puppies.
I'm a mean drunk.. and I'm significantly larger than the genetic code for this geographic area.. the result being badly bruised kneecaps after a bender. This in itself is usually cure enuff for a hangover... hard to bemoan yer head's increased dimensions if yah can't walk to the crapper next morning for that much enjoyed morning after enduro-peeing contest.
As a side note, the 'unnnnngh' AM blues and nasuea associated with a hangover are quickly dispelled by a fat zepplin-esque joint, however my shins and knees often take a week to mend.

I have two proven cures to share before i start.
1. Go to healthfood store and get some cysteine. Its an amino acid thats present also in eggs and is what your liver uses to break down the toxins. Its quickly used up, so some more before you go to bed may save you a headache. Also Vitamin B6 is supposed to be good. Ive got some and it certainly hasnt made me worse :).
2. Water and aloe vera juice + some B vitamins. Havent tried the aloe juice yet, its supposed to fix the stomach probs.
Anyway
Age: 25
Severity: 7-8 (without utilising cures)
Duration: 1-2 days
Last week I had the following
Severity: 10
Duration: 5 days
I had alcohol poisoning and cyanide poisoning from dragging some of our furniture outside and setting it alight. The fumes are very poisonous. I'll tell the story one day when it stops giving me nightmares...
Good thread..

You know, many consider Fat Tire to be one of the best beers in the world.
Gavor -- generally any bender ending with your setting your furniture on fire is gonna have a week-long hangover.
-
I've found that about 75% of my hangover is dehydration. I force myself to consume large quantities of water/gatorade and usually I feel pretty good. One thing to stay away from is ibuprofen or Tylenol or drugs like that. You can mess up your liver if you combine them with alcohol.
Age 31

Age: 17
Sevarity:15
Duration:1 day
it usually depends on how much i drink. but when i get hammered...its horrible the next morning. get the toejams and all.
i dont think its an age thing...i think its a how long you've been drinkin thing and how much you drink at a time.

Pimp! You a lightweight? :) Hehe thought you'd be just the opposite for some reason. lol

I never really got hangovers until I was 20, no matter how much I drank now:
Age:26
Hangover level: 6
Duraction: 4 hours
(Drinking pints of water as I write this :))
-
Well I'm 49 now, hangovers have gotten so bad that I'm down to parting twice a year.
While I'll have a single glass of wine or beer with no problems more than a couple is a no no. :(
Severity (depends on how stupid I was) 8
Lasts about a day

Yep, cysteine is a good preventative. Been using it for years. Drink lots of water with it and you will feel pretty good the next day.
-
Was the herring used to enduce vomiting or something? YUCK! Are you Danish by any chance?
Negative, ate the herring felt like a champ soon afterwards, far as ancestry goes Im whats known as a 'square head' well known term if you from the Minnesota area :)

Lots of people buy n'Sync records too...

Water is the key. When I used to get really hammered, WHEN I thought about it I'd pour as much H20 down my throught as I could hold and pop 4 aspirin hehe. Always does the trick.
Buddy of mine told me once to take a whole bunch of Vitamin C before boozing it up. That works real well too.

THANKS! I could have used that info that saturday night roomie! :D I hope I didn't wake you up Sunday morning....

Everyone knows that we bikers prefer a weak tea. Perhaps with a twist of lemon. If you over do the lemon, you might feel a little out of sorts the next day. But what the heck, that is part of the fun.

Just stay drunk, problem solved ;)

Doctors own remedy for hangover:
2l of water, ice cold
2 Rehydration fuzz pills
2 Multivitamin fuzz pills
Use to swallow down 1 Lanzo/losec/Zantac or whatever that ends with either "prazol" or "tidin". Add to that 400mg of ibuprofen.
Of course, after this, order home a Shish Kebab Pizza, and take a Healthy dump :D

The key to beating it all is to use dangerous, untested, illegal recreational drugs.
:D
-
Never drink that much and definately dont drink in empty stomach - eat at least twice within last 12 hours before drinking.
-

Boroda! Boroda? We need an expert here!
I have never ever experienced headache as a result of a hangover. I did not even experienced nausea as long as I did not try to get up from horisontal position the next day. That is as long as I did not mix vodka with other stuff.
I could drink about 0.8 liter of vodka (body weight under 130 lb) in a couple of hours and get home under my own power. That was not as impressive a feat in Russia as it is here in US.
Of course you have to stay in shape to do that and all that driving it is not possible here. So I quit drinking vodka and switched to Port instead..
