[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always seem to forget to eat much before I drink, which I know doesn’t help.

Yesterday [b]I had 2.5 light beers[/b], with a light dinner [b]afterwards and I had tons of water [/b]and 2 advil before bed, and even still, today is a semi wasted day for me. I ran some errands this morning, but then needed a long nap. No headache but I feel out of it.

To those who drink, what do you do to prevent this?

And again, abstinence is not an acceptable answer. Move on [/quote]

Are you over 70 and less than 100lbs? Do you have liver problems or kidney issues? 
Or were those 2 drinks pitcher sized? I really don't see how that is possible to be hungover from not even being legally intoxicated, much less to the point of drunkenness. [/quote]

That amount of alcohol would absolutely have the same effect on me at the age of 49. 29, not so much. [/quote]

That's a sign your organs are not that well. [/quote]

No, not really. Hangovers aren't caused by alcohol staying in your system longer.

More likely, if you can drink significantly more than this without a hangover, you're probably an alcoholic.[/quote]

Op. 
I think this is true. My friends who are regular drinkers don’t get hangovers unless they really overdo it.

I rarely drink. Those 2.5 beers and a single small margarita at another event are all the alcohol I’ve had in the last two months. I like drinking though, it’s fun and feels festive to me for special occasions, and I’d like to find a way to tolerate it better when I do drink.

Are you sure they were light beers?

I think the answer is to just take it more slowly and eat a lot more. Before and during. [/quote]

You’re right, they weren’t light. I just checked and 5% ABV. That’s regular, isn’t it?

[b]I drank them over the course of 3.5 hours but I wasn’t eating and I didn’t drink water. [/b]

But the advice I was hoping for was more specific because ‘rules’ are easier to take in and follow rather than just ‘eat less, drink more’… ykwim? [/quote]

Op, this is were you went wrong. You never drink for 3.5 hours without eating or drinking water. By the time you ate, the alcohol was already in your blood, and while the glass or two of water you drank may have decreased your dehydration a bit, they did little to offset.

If you want to not feel bad, you need to eat while drinking. So have a glass of beer, have some heavy appetizer (preferably fat/ protein), and a glass of water. You’ll end up consuming less beer this way, but also it will be with food and water in your stomach and won’t dehydrate you so much.

Seriously, what’s the point of you eating after 3.5 hours of drinking on an empty stomach?[/quote]

Sigh, yes, I’m aware. But that’s what happened so it is what it is. I was at someone’s place and they were not serving food. So I’m asking advice for what I should/could do both afterwards, and also what tips people follow before.

You don’t need to get so excited. Either share specific tips you have, or move on. [/quote]
