Hangover Rating System [Warning: Long]
-
ok guys and gals. I think that from now on we should use the following rating system for our hangovers on CP. [As recommended by your resident Irish drinker :-D]
1 Star Hangover * No pain. No real feeling of illness. You slept in your own bed and when you woke up there were no traffic cones in there with you. You are still able to function relatively well on the energy stored up from all those vodka and red bulls. However, you can drink 10 bottles of water and still feel as parched as the Sahara. Even vegetarians are craving a Cheeseburger and a side of fries. 2 Star Hangover * * No pain, but something is definitely amiss. You may look okay but you have the attention span and mental capacity of a stapler. The coffee you hug to try and remain focused is only exacerbating your rumbling gut, which is craving a full Irish breakfast. Although you have a nice demeanour about the office, you are costing your employer valuable money because all you really can handle is some light filing, followed by aimlessly surfing the net and writing junk e-mails. 3 Star Hangover * * * Slight headache. Stomach feels crap. You are definitely a space cadet and not so productive. Anytime a girl or lad walks by you gag because her perfume/aftershave reminds you of the random gin shots you did with your alcoholic friends after the bouncer kicked you out at 2:45 a.m. Life would be better right now if you were in your bed with a dozen doughnuts and a litre of coke watching daytime TV. You've had 4 cups of coffee, a gallon of water, 2 Sausage Rolls and a litre of diet coke yet you haven't peed once. 4 Star Hangover * * * * You have lost the will to live. Your head is throbbing and you can't speak too quickly or else you might spew. Your boss has already lambasted you for being late and has given you a lecture for reeking of booze. You wore nice lothes, but you smell of socks, and you can't hide the fact that you either missed an oh-so crucial spot shaving or it looks like you put your make-up on while riding the dodgems (depending on your gender). Your teeth have their own individual sweaters. Your eyes look like one big vein and your hairstyle makes you look like a reject from the second-grade class picture circa 1976. You would give a weeks pay for one of the following - Home time, a doughnut and somewhere to be alone, or a time machine so you could go back and NOT have gone out the night before. You scare small children in the street just b

I like it. :laugh: Recently, (yes, after one of those 'am I going to live?' hangovers) I've been trying to drink water while drinking (David Wulff mentioned that it works for him). I does work -- I usually feel quite good the next day, but I have to pee even more, and even worse than that it's quite difficult to actually get drunk. :omg: Hey, is it the weekend again? Hmm.. time for more testing. :-D

Drink water after alcohol, as much as you can handle of it and then force another glass down. Also drinking milk before alcohol is a good move, but it does carry risks. Whilst it lines your stomach and makes you less likely to throw up, it doesn't half make a mess if you just figure you can drink twice as much and end up calling for Huey down the big porcelain telephone anyway X| Paul Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see - Led Zeppelin, Misty Mountain Hop

'Take Care' Funker VogtIf it doesn't work for you, try mixing Brian's and my advice. Get a pint of water for every, say, ten units of alcohol you are going to consume, and drink it sparingly alongside, then drink *plenty* of water before your hit the sheets for the night (or usually morning ;P). Drinking water at the same time as alocohol (ignoring the fact most drinks are 99% water anyway) does mean you must spend and consume more to acheive a hangover greater than three stars, but it does - for me anyway - lead to a more pleasurable experience. Sure I may be making half-hourly trips to the bathroom to piss for England but I have yet to experience this so-called "cotton mouth", and have only once woken up in the middle of the night to find my pillow a little damper than normal... You need to ask yourself which is more important to you - having a good time *and* being able to attend work in the morning, at the scarifice of being the butt of all your friends' jokes for the evening, or getting trashed on two hours wages and loosing three days of your life to rehydrate your poor body. :)
