Ooh fuck I'm hungover

Realised yesterday that I need to be on top form on Christmas Day as we're cooking, so suggested to DH last night that we have a couple of beautiful wee cocktails.

It escalated from there and we ended up finishing a bottle of port and watching only fools and horses til 3am.

Oh dear. Would anyone like to come iron my tablecloth and napkins, Hoover my house, and bring me a Big Mac meal?

This was me yesterday after a quick drink turned into the best part of two bottles. It was not fun. On the plus side, I feel amazing today because of the contrast to yesterday. Lots of flat coke for you!

I actually winced when I read 'a bottle of port' - I remember the aftermath of those rather clearly! I spent last night with two alcoholics and a teetotaller, watching one of the former prop up the other to stop them falling off the chair, whilst my DH developed a 'funny turn' and took to his bed for the evening, worrying me enough that I didn't dare have a drink myself (he's fine today). The only good point about all this is that I have awoken fresh as a daisy today - but full of sympathy for those who haven't :D I hope you feel better soon, OP, Merry Christmas!

Ha, we did exactly the same! Ended up dancing around the kitchen which was a really terrible idea. DH got a sachet of a hangover vitamin thing in his secret Santa and whilst it's not quite Big Mac levels of relief I've just managed to hoover up after the ever shedding tree without sobbing. Everything feels very LOUD though

Better hungover today than tomorrow I say!

My husband has a hangover this morning after drinking my home-made cocktails last night. I feel fine. Would love a McDonald's breakfast though 😋

NOELnoelNOELnoel · 24/12/2021 11:50

Why on God's earth do you iron your table cloth and napkins?

Fuck that fucking shit.

NOELnoelNOELnoel · 24/12/2021 11:51

PS Uber eats is your friend for hangover cures BTW

tectonicplates · 24/12/2021 11:58

Have you drunk enough water today, OP?

ArblemarzipanTFruitcake · 24/12/2021 12:02

Are you us? Grin DH and I often end up watching OFAH into the small hours when we've had a few!

disconnecteddrifter · 24/12/2021 12:03

Guacamole001 · 24/12/2021 12:03

I hear a bloody Mary drink cures any hangover.

So far I've had 2 packets of salt and vinegar crisps, 2 crumpets and 3 cups of tea.

DH is fine and about to go for a run Angry

Get him to get you some original lucozade while he's out. It is the only think that works for me.

jesusmaryjosephandtheweedonkey · 24/12/2021 13:11

Get a Big Mac delivered. Have a Bloody Mary and crack on 😃

We don't have deliveroo here or anyone that delivers macdonalds!😭

Would I be disgusting to cook and eat a whole pizza while DH is out?

Yes,I went out for Christmas Eve Eve last night on the basis that I can't possibly deal with my dad and a hangover all day tomorrow. Grin

I had such a good night it's almost worth today and I am feeling particularly smug that I gave the house a good blitz and got most of the Christmas prep done yesterday before I went out, so today all I need to do is sit around and eat crisps.

I did go for a run earlier, one of the best hangover treatments I know, but it certainly hasn't cured it.

We always have Christmas dinner on the 24th, so last night I was drinking wine and making myself a play list on YouTube to have on while I cook. Except I got so into it, playing lots of old songs, I drank too much and stayed up too late. Now I’m hungover and my head hurts too much to play the damn playlist! And I don’t even really fancy the dinner I’m now cooking. Ah well.

Pegasussnail · 24/12/2021 14:07

Not hungover (had one vodka)
Hope you are ok. I would write today off get to bed early and get up early tomorrow Grin

Northernsoullover · 24/12/2021 14:08

I have come to the conclusion that the only cure for a hangover is a good night's sleep. I don't drink any more but I do remember the port ones and you have my sympathy.

Youngatheart00 · 24/12/2021 14:11

Eat something salty, hydrate, have a nap. Fail safe

tiredanddangerous · 24/12/2021 14:19

Oh I feel you pain today op. I'm expected round at a friends house in a couple of hours to start drinking again Xmas Shock

A trip to the gym, eating anything not nailed down and a few more drinks and my hangover is a thing of the past 👍
