Yep, I think this is the one.

Please tell me I'm not alone.

And send macdonalds.

I didn't do too badly off of yesterday. I however made my mistake on Christmas Eve Eve. 3 bottles of wine (2 of them red) and 2 joints. Deary me i was so ill I triggered costochondritis. Then spent 2 hours in the freezing cold queuing at the butchers. Came home and did all the housework. Then got up Christmas Day, lit the fire, hefted a load of fuel in and cooked the dinner.

I collapsed from pain and exhaustion by 7 last night!

SciFiScream · 26/12/2020 19:06

I've never had a hangover in my life. Trust me I've drunk enough to warrant it! My Dad has never had a hangover in his life either so I think it's genetic.

I'm reading these descriptions in horror. Feel better soon.

Pluckedpencil · 26/12/2020 19:40

Well done for surviving again OP! My usual pattern is that I don't drink after that for a week while and then have a lovely glass of something sophisticated, slowly working my alcohol tolerance back up until I exceed again. Repeat stupid idiotic pattern throughout life. Alas, I have no advice except avoid having children on those days!!

Titsywoo · 26/12/2020 19:48

I had such a horrendous hangover on New Year's Eve 2013 that I gave up drinking for a year afterwards. I have never had a really bad hangover since - I hate them so much that even when quite pissed I know when to stop now.

  • Stugeron travel sickness pills Dioralyte (supermarket own brand works fine)*

I thought that said Sturgeon when I first read it. She's cured travel sickness effectively at the moment for sure.

RelivingHell · 26/12/2020 20:01

I'm reliving my youth now. Used to date a barman who gave me free Jack Daniels and coke. I think I once drank about 7 in the space of 2hours. I didn't realise how affected I was until I tried to stand up. The hangover was literally like I was going to die.

Hope you feel better!

nancybotwinbloom · 26/12/2020 20:37

Do travel sickness pills work?

nancybotwinbloom · 26/12/2020 20:39

I'm smashing the arse out of the wine right now so tomorrow I will re read this hoping for inspiration other than come/cum Wink

nancybotwinbloom · 26/12/2020 20:43

@SciFiScream

It's like motion sickness if you move but you need to move but you darent.
You want to eat but you can't except really shit food that you can tolerate vomiting later on.

JorisBonson · 26/12/2020 20:47

I thought I was on the up but I'm not. Nothing has worked. I fear this may be the end #prayforjoris

reallyisthisoption · 26/12/2020 21:13

Ondansetron, wait for that to take effect.
Then any electrolyte drink (flat not fizzy) Ice cold water by the pint.
Panadol and codine for the headache.
Sleep if you can.
If it's nearly fatal beg a loved one who is a medic to give you IV fluids and a couple of Valium. You'll have a blissful nap and wake up magically better 🙌🏻
Good luck OP

Namechangeme87 · 26/12/2020 22:08

Reads through thread smugly Grin

This is made me laugh so Much iv had a year of barely drinking so not many hangover stories this year well just one actually during the summer and I wanted to / genuinely thought I would die . Plus the fear ohhhh the fear !

Hang in there those still suffering it is almost bed time and that sweet feeling of finally waking up tommorow “ cured “

I do also recommend hair of the dog

MsJudgemental · 26/12/2020 22:09

Full fat can of coke, salty potato sticks or crisps. Possibly egg sandwich. Lots of sleep.

Icenii · 26/12/2020 22:17

No hangover here but I use to have

Dirolyte
Solphadeine Max
Ibuprofen
Cherry coke
Lots of water
Marmite on toast
Any vitamin pill in the house
Dandelion tea

Always felt ill for several days regardless.

whoamongstus · 26/12/2020 22:35

I absolutely swear by two paracetamol washed down with a pint of half orange juice, half water. The water makes it less acidic/vom inducing but the juice gives you some sugar, paracetamol is obvious.

Then BRUSH YOUR TEETH, wash your face, put clean pyjamas on. If you can face a shower, do it (a bath on a fresh hangover is asking for technicolour vomit). Do not give into the urge to sink into your own filth, it makes it worse.

Then when you're clean and the headache has subsided slightly, you can try food and very cold isotonic Lucozade (agree with PP, it's a miracle worker).

I was feeling hideous this morning and I woke up and tequila-me had left paracetamol and orange juice/water premixed in the fridge, which was kind of her.

@SimonJT

Theres a hangover in our home today, my partner at around 4am was in the bathroom being sick and occasionally saying “make it stop” as though he was begging someone to finish him off. Everytime he got back in bed he had to immediately get back up again to be sick, he really really appreciated me laughing at him.

He was then found at 7:30am completely naked sprawled out asleep on the bathroom floor, I got ready around him and left him there. Don’t worry, I made sure to gather lots of photo evidence before sorting a blanket and pillow.

He made it into the living room about half an hour ago, my son offered him a chocolate and the sight of food made him heave 😂 as five year olds are very honest he has been told he stinks several times.

I think he is really enjoying the level of sympathy hes getting.

This is brilliant! Grin

@DumpedByText

You need Lucozade or full fat coke and fried egg on toast with loads of salt and pepper.

Hangovers are the, worst feeling ever 🤢

Surely it's being hungover AND needing to function - eg work, look after a small child etc.

It's been a while since I've been feeling as bad as the OP but magic sachets have previously done the trick (recovery sachets) with sugary pop and carbs.

Next time you need to prep OP - water and ibuprofen before bed. Water and nibbles next to bed for inevitable disorienting wake up.

Hope you're feeling better now!

hardknocklife123 · 26/12/2020 23:00

I either have no hangover or one that threatens to kill me - no inbetween.

I can't ever keep food down - only drink is tiny sips of fat coke and tiny nibbles of child's chewy vitamins and tiny nibbles of rennies - that is it! Sleep if I can - which is cruelly usually impossible.

I feel your pain.

Atalune · 26/12/2020 23:11

Purdeys drink in the silver bottle
A banana
Hot shower then and ice cold blast
Lots of moisturiser
Icey cold fizzy water
Berrocca 2 paracetamol, 3 nurofen
Big walk
Light the fire and sleep

This is the cruel way of the hangover. Peaks and troughs, as I used to murmur stoically if anyone enquired after my health when I was younger and hungover all the time.

I’m impressed at anyone who managed to properly get on it on Christmas Day. I find the enormous piles of food get in the way. Christmas Eve, absolutely yes. And that time a few weeks ago when I combined my pre-Christmas slenderising with too much gin and ended up weeping into the toilet bowl the following day as my toddler battered on the bathroom door (don’t worry, his father was also present and indeed nobly drove to McD’s after bedtime for medicinal purposes #hero).

Anyway yes, extremely cold lucozade sport, fried egg sandwich once you’re ready and as much bed nesting as your lifestyle will allow. Maybe what we revoltingly used to call a victim shower (sat on the floor under the shower head, rocking gently). Strength and honour OP.

WingingItSince1973 · 26/12/2020 23:42

I'm so sorry these are hilarious. I haven't had a hangover for over a year now and that was sis in laws anniversary party with homemade cocktails, the night before we were going on holiday (remember those days? 🤣) I remember having a very strong cocktail in both hands. Mixed by my equally drunk fil. Im so so ashamed to say I threw up on my shoes just outside my front door 🤢🤢🤢 Fortunately my dd and husband weren't too traumatised and I slept on the sofa in a posh party dress. Felt so rough for the first 3 days of holiday and convinced I had alcohol poisoning. Haven't touched a drop since as my tolerance levels have shrunk to zilch! Hope everyone here feeling better though xxx

SmidgenofaPigeon · 27/12/2020 11:03

Did we all survive the night?

SimonJT · 27/12/2020 11:08

Mine is alive and well, apparently he is never drinking again, bets on how long he lasts?

JorisBonson · 27/12/2020 12:22

A 10 hour sleep, bubble & squeak and ham have made me feel brand new. So much so that I'm eyeing up the prosecco... 🤔

Atalune · 27/12/2020 13:07

Have just had a turkey, stuffing, piccalilli and mayonnaise doorstep sandwich. I’m whole again.
