To think this hangover isn’t normal

if you keep being sick because of low sugar it's a good idea.

It's part of getting older im afraid 😞

Random side note- are anti-vomit pills
a good idea?

I get what you’re saying but when it gets to the point you’re vomiting up nothing / bile then I guess they can’t hurt.

Random side note- are anti-vomit pills a good idea? It's a normal process for the body to get rid of poisons etc. I would think keeping that in would be worse in the long term. 🤔

I had one of these hangovers in April from lots of wine on an empty stomach. Never really experienced one like it before, all the vomiting. I'm never sick with drink.

It's 4 months later and I've only managed the odd glass of wine since then, and I still feel a bit queasy.

Gin did this to me. Ok it was on top of half a bottle of wine. I was at home and some people came round with loads of booze. The wine was nice and the gin delicious. I went and lay on a pile of pillows at 10pm and spent the next day shivering and being sick and feeling terrible. I didn't drink again for a very long time.
I now ignore people who try to encourage more alcohol consumption. I am a lightweight and happy to be so.

This happened to me the other week. Vomiting until 5pm. I'd eaten too before going out. I was so so rough.

Make an electrolyte drink and have a teaspoonful or two every 5 mins for an hour. You might then keep it down.

Sounds like you probably have gastritis.

Oh lord I overdid it massively last night too! Waaaay too much vodka although I did at least start out the night alternating alcohol with a glass of water which does seem to help the next day. I have had several McDonald’s cokes via services on the drive home today, I don’t think dh was enamoured by the stops, it’s only a couple of hours journey and we wouldn’t usually stop 😂
By the way, surely everyone free pours alcohol at home? Not that anyone has said otherwise but we use our spirit measures as emergency egg cups 😂

Definitely agree that full fat coke is the way to go, preferably from maccies with a side order of 20 nugs .

Dioralyte or a Lucozade Sport will do you some good too. Lay off the painkillers you don’t want to tax your liver with anything else.

My very worst hangover turned out to be Covid I’m sorry to say.

You lose your tolerance and become a light weight when you haven’t drunk alcohol in awhile. I don’t drink. Haven’t for a decade now (interferes with medication), and it would only take a glass of wine to get me sozzled.

My new cure is dioralyte even if you don't have diarrhea.

I don't drink often (because I turn into a nause who talks too much and I cringe myself out!) but I've had a terrible hangover 3 times in the last few years (maybe 5) and all 3 times have been after a party held by the same friend. She's vegan and I always end up eating very little of what she makes as it never tastes quite right. Not bashing vegans but it's always a meat substitute rather than just veggies, which I do like, for example a fake beef casserole. So I just have a tiny bit and then a few large glasses of wine or Prosecco.

So I'm sure it's the lack of food that does it for me. On other occasions/evenings out I'm mostly ok the next day as I make sure I've eaten plenty. So I'd say it's the empty stomach making you feel much much worse.

I had a bad hangover on Saturday and I couldn't figure out why. I only had 3 wines in the pub on Friday night....

I had 3 large wines which is a whole bottle of wine and we were only in there 2 hours

Sorry you're hungover OP. Hope you feel better tomorrow and DP forgives you!

DH is quite cross with me, we had plans for today and I‘ve only just emerged out of bed

I'd be fuming if DP had a full day in bed with a hangover when he knew we had plans!

This is just a hangover.

You've drunk at least a quarter bottle of neat gin there, if not more

id replace the word quarter with half!

if you’re like me then the lack of food will most likely be the main culprit.

I HAVE to have a decent feed before a night out or really bad things happen!

You need to force yourself to eat something like toast or crisps and yy to full fat coke or lucuzade.

Hope you feel better tomorrow op.

I had two horrific hangovers like this once that lasted a couple of days. I tested positive for covid both times

I had a 3 day hangover like this a few years ago. Turned out I was actually pregnant.

Full fat Coke everytime.

Instead of drinking water, you need something with electrolytes in - Powerade or something should work. And try sucking on ice lollies/ice cubes instead of drinking glasses of water.

I have had bad hangovers a couple of times, totally out of the blue and on both times I had drunk a fair bit but not as much as other nights when I have been fine. Some days your body is just less able to process the alcohol, for a variety of reasons.

I agree with the others free hand drinks will be a lot stronger than you expect.

You should try to drink something with electrolytes in. Vomiting that much messes up your balances and you need to replenish.

Ask your DH to go shops or Uber/deliveroo/just eat some sports drinks. Proper ones, not caffeine ones.

For some reason skips, as in the crisp, always really help me, but I am not sure if they work for everyone.

The only real cure is rest and time .
