Hangovers

[ukwill]

I'm seriously considering curtailing my alcohol consumption to a pitiful amount. My hangovers appear to be taking longer and longer to get over (worst case to date has been 3-4 days!). Whilst the listlessness and banging head goes after the following day, oftentimes I'm left with a sore stomach for several days.

I've tried antacid's etc. but nothing seems to shift it - apart from time. Really not sure that I can continue enduring this kind of after effect simply as a result of getting smashed. (This mainly occurs when I get smashed as opposed to just merrily pissed).

Does anyone get stomach issues that can last days? I'm wondering if I could have an ulcer that gets aggravated by the alcohol (but again I dont have an issue when I only get merry).

Perhaps don't get smashed, just merrily drunk?

I'm fortunate that I very rarely get hangovers but when I do, they're pretty damn good (not literally).

The older you get the worse they get grrrrrrrrrrr

Best way i find is snaffle loads of juice and food

or

Just lock yourself away for the next day or so

I have better nights out on 3-4 pints getting merry (I'm a cheap date) over getting smashed on 10+. Probably as I can remember the 3-4 pint ones

Yes, this is indeed the path I need to follow. The trouble is, when I get to 3/4 I tend to be very much enjoying the taste and wanting more. The thing I really need to learn is how to stop - especially at this time of the year with all the assorted nights out.
