Have a Gatorade before and after you drink.

There ya go, fellow 30-something party people, saved ya a hangover, just hope with that no one suggests a venue change to the club at 11:30

If I'm out of the house past 10, something has already gone terribly wrong.

Some young dude caught me yawning at a Rammstein concert this summer. I told him I couldn’t help it because it was past 9.

I guess drinking 75+ is technically drinking 30+...

You can make it till 10!!! 🙇‍♂️

Absolutely not gonna help lol

I've learned that people who talk about these remedies or say they don't get hangovers drink a lot less than I do

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Most of the hangover is just dehydration, so the Gatorade really does help a lot. Pedialyte or a different sports drink would do similarly, but also getting in shape, sleeping right, drinking plenty of water on the days you're not drinking helps mitigate the issues with a little indulgence just fine.

But, everyone is different so your milage may vary.

Yeah I can drink Gatorade, have a full meal before bed, stop drinking an hour before bed, have an antacid, everything. If I'm "drunk" at any point of the night I am done for the next day

How about drinking a lot of water, eating healthy and drinking less alcohol?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah yes. Why didn't I think of simply drinking less alcohol to solve my hangover?

You are right about water though, hydration is all we're talking about when it comes to hangovers.

Not really, hangovers are literally dehydration mixed with poor mental and physical recovery if you fall asleep while drunk. Sober up before the nights end, get some hydration and food in you and you should be good to go. If you are going to sleep fucked up then nothing is gonna save you from a hangover whether you are young or not.

What and just experience my emotions? No thank you.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I understand that concern.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yeah, during a majority of the year. On the rare weekend where schedules align such that a buncha 30-somethings can get together and party?

Gatorade. Or Brodes.

Everything in moderation, my friend. Especially moderation.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you are drinking during the majority of the year, I have bad news for u. You're an alcoholic.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the concern, but I think you read my comment backwards.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

You don’t get it. I can get a hangover from looking at a beer the wrong way and I’m not even in my 40’s yet.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Gatorade for the win. My life changed when I discovered the healing power of gatorade.

Sugar and alcohol just make everything harder for your liver. Just eat well before, and drink plenty of water before, between, and after alcohol. Drink a bit less alcohol when going out. Get to bed at a semi reasonable time. Skip the sugar water.
