    That's what YouPorn is for. Plus, if you're hard you are definitely not drunk enough. When whiskey dick arrives you know you have accomplished your goal.

    Is there something about greasy food that helps to prevent a hangover? My wife always craves greasy food when she drinks too much, but I didn't know it was actually good for the next day.

    This is so true. The only thing that really changes as you age is your body's recovery time, and for me, my previously undefeated tolerance for alcohol was the first to go.

    I used to basically only get sick or hungover when I mixed large quantities of different liquors until 6 in the morning, but I now realize it's because we were drinking **** liquor and neglected our health in a litany of other ways. I've pretty much given up drinking liquor when out socializing, and never really mix anymore. The power to say no to that drunken-pseudo-acquaintance guy when he tries to force group bonding by making you take shots of well tequila with his cousins and his concubine is a valuable skill set.

    For me the bigger problem is that I get worse acid reflux than I do hangovers when binge drinking. Before sleep I take ibuprofen with three bottles of water, and a f**kton of pepto after a good greasy or bread-based drunken snack. Upon awakening I go jogging and sweat out the hangover, drink tons more water and if by lunch time my appetite still has not returned, the funny tobacco has never failed to reboot my digestive OS.

    Strangely, this thread really has me hankering for some Jameson. At 11:00 AM. I think I'll go to Spec's on my lunch break and be a little more proactive about my alcoholism and my commitment to being as unproductive as possible this afternoon.

    I loathe Jack in the Box, but on those hungover days I either crave their Taco's like crazy, or Popeyes Spicy Chicken. It's the need for grease, but not sure if it's psychological or if it's science.

    I'm no expert here but I'm told salt and grease "absorb" the alcohol. I'm not sure about that scientific assessment, but basically I think any food would slow the absorption of alcohol, thus making it take longer to get into your blood stream.

    Methinks what is in your stomach before your drink is probably much more effective at hangover inhibition than anything you can take or eat after.

    Gotta stretch before lifting.

    Like others have said, it helps to not pass out on an empty stomach - need something to absorb all that booze.

    I used to drink a lot and handle it pretty well within reason.

    Then I scaled down to the occasional drink or none at all for days or even weeks.

    And now I'll have one or 2 beers or cocktails, no buzz feeling whatsoever, and get a monster headache a lot. What's wrong with me? Really frustrating.

    I'm not sure about the salt, but eating greasy foods before you drink is suppose to really help in preventing hangovers. The grease pretty much coats your stomach and slows down the absorption of alcohol. Its probably best to eat the greasy foods before you drink, but nobody ever does.

    yeahhh this isnt a good thing. youre liver has just gotten used to the amount you drink and has made more enzymes to process the alcohol. The bad part is that youre liver is already probably injured, and depending on how long youve been drinking and how much longer you continue to drink, liver problems are on the way

    I've got Crohn's disease. After 6 months of traditional medicine, I still had some severe symptoms. After taking homeopathic medicine for 6 months I'm clinically stable, and the inflammation in my colon has gone down greatly. The difference is really night and day, but to each his own I guess.

    Yep, both places I listed only make it on the weekend. But it's worth it...even when you aren't hungover!

    Aside from being older, your body doesn't like the cheap booze you're drinking. Try some higher quality, purer stuff.
