So, as to not dilute the food thread, lets kick-off a drink thread! I'll start...
Before
After
I have only been drinking coke all day. i have a bad hangover, have vomited 4 times. Coke helps, right? If you can keep it down.
Yesterday I drank champagne, wine and Ouzo.
The heart is on the left. The blood is red.
Ugh! Sounds like you over did it with a nightmare combo!
Anytime you mix different types of alcohol, it's a risk.
And by types, I mean the general type. Wine vs beer vs the hard stuff. You can mix it up within the categories, like Vain is doing with the beer sampling. Or different types of wine. Or even shots followed by mixed drinks like a margarita or whatever. But mixing the types always ends up in trouble. Damned if I know why... maybe the liver is just protesting about not knowing which type of alcohol it has to process?

I started with champagne, went on to wine and ended with Ouzo shots. Ouzo is the last thing I remember from yesterday. It was just three of us, me and one girl were both feeling bad today. But not this third girl, she drank one bottle of wine, some champagne and just a half shot of Ouzo. And she was feeling great this morning.
I suppose my next question would be what you ate before, or immediately after drinking. Foods with a high fat content are best for absorbing alcohol out of your system, so it's not a bad idea to eat something before you pass out if you drank a lot. And for breakfast if you don't.
And if the third girl wasn't a vegetarian like yourself, and had a bacon double cheeseburger or something like that, it would explain the difference. Or maybe she's just got a stronger liver that processed the booze better.
Back in my heavier drinking days, me and my friends had this down to a science.... we would either hit the Jack in the Box drive through after the bar, or if we were buying more beer at the grocery store anyway, grab some microwave burritos with it. Never had a hangover - at least once I stopped settling for shitty beer.
Ginger anything, actually. It's the ginger that settles your stomach.
Here's my recommended hangover breakfast supplement.....
The ginger will settle your stomach, the cranberries will clean your kidneys, and the fat in the almonds and macadamias will help absorb any alcohol left in your system.
Back in 1997 when I was engaged to this chick, I had stopped in to the jewelry shop where I bought her engagement ring. The owner was a Greek immigrant, and he was about ready to close up for the day, and he asked me if I wanted to do a shot of Ouzo with him.
I said sure thing.
Was not bad. Different, to be sure, but I did not have any problems with it.
I do not like to drink hard liquor straight, but a shot of something or other once in awhile is not bad.
Mix equal parts Ouzo with Chambord
It tastes like the Good N Plenty Candy.....
Remember, it's not so much the ALCOHOL that causes your hangovers, its the SUGAR
Hydrate, drink quality hooch, stay away from anything with HFCS such as Margarita mixes or Curacao....
And for wine drinkers (which includes coolers and all that sort of shit) sulfites are a big problem.
I'm allergic to that shit in general, so thank God for beer
We actually did eat before. We ate pizza. But the friend who didn't feel bad ate one with meat on it, while me and my other friend ate vegetarian. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. But it's pizza, it's not like we ate sallad. I usually drink a lot of water before bed if I drink, but since we kind of passed out, that wasn't an option. Thank god we weren't in a club but at my friends place. I am pretty sure it was the Ouzo.
You know what, I don't understand that. HOW can so many people find beer tasty??? It's absolutely gross. It's pretty bitter taste, you can taste the alcohol, it smells badly. Okay, if there was one small minority that liked it, people with strange taste, but SO many people??? What is so good about it? It's not even sweet.
It tastes like shit when it's warm and has been sitting under the neighbors bushes for a few days. I cut my teeth on nasty beer when I was a kid but if you could knock back four bottles of the nasty shit, the buzz was worth it.
If you want nasty, clean out the fermentation tanks at a brewery. Gooey and nasty. I don't think people who work in those places even want to see a beer after work.
No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
The problem with Ouzo is it's pretty high proof but because it's sweet and tastes like licorice it's easy to drink too much of it. For some reason it's not as easy to drink as much whiskey or even vodka of the same proof. You drink the liquid candy and then all a sudden a two by four slams you and you are fucking drunk.
ahem.... mow the lawn, or do some other strenuous physical activity on a 42℃ day.
an icy cold beer will be the greatest thing that ever passed your lips.
You made the classic mistake of mixing too many kinds of drinks. You probably would have been fine if you steered away from the ouzo. If you have been drinking wine you really don't want to follow it up with something else; especially something like ouzo.
I hate to say it but my hangover remedy was to drink a beer. LOL! The old standby of black coffee is still good. Sometimes just getting a little food and sipping on orange juice helps.
Coca Cola is good for nausea and upset stomaches. For some reason other cola drinks don't work as well. My mom always had Coke on hand in case someone got sick. You can buy cola syrup but good old Coca Cola works fine.
You just have to be careful mixing different kinds of alcohol. If you like sugary drinks then stick with those kind of drinks. You can drink wine with a meal and then have cocktails afterwards but it's best to let what you ate settle down some. It's of course how much you drink. Also drinking on an empty stomach is different than drinking on a full stomach.
I made the mistake of drinking a lot of Johnny Walker Red scotch on an empty stomach before a Van Hagar concert. LOL! I don't know if the scotch made me puke or if it was Sammy Hagar's singing.
What is REALLY strange is how fast it went. I drank one bottle of champagne and didn't even feel affected at all. Then wine. And after we started with Ouzo, it took maye 40 minutes for us to kind of pass out.
I know I am nagging about this, but I always make sure that I don't get a hangover and I rarely have it cause I know how much I hate it. I felt so bad, I really wished I could die. This was a big thing for me.
You drank one whole bottle of champagne by yourself? It's like food. Sometimes you just eat the wrong combination of stuff and you get a stomach ache. Alcohol can be the same. One heads up about champaign and wine is they contain sulfates. The sulfates keep the wine clear and without it it goes cloudy in the bottle. If you are allergic to sulfur you can have an allergic reaction and it can result in a gut wrenching stomach ache. I'm allergic to sulfates so I pretty much just stick to a glass of wine and don't drink it that much.
Sure. I can drink a bottle of champagne by myself. I really didn't even feel the least affected by it. If I'm gonna put it all together with the wine I easily drank one bottle of champagne and one bottle of wine before the Ouzo. Us girls can really drink. And I'm the one who passed out first, my friend (the one who loves Ouzo, that I told you about earlier) just had some headache the day after and I KNOW she drank more then I did. She worked the day after, and she was the one who finished off the Ouzo. I am the weak one who can't take anyhting, lol.
I've heard that it's not good to drink wine and eat grapes at the same occasion.
Did you hear it on the Internet? I just did
