Hangover wont go away

[OatALot]

Probably had 3/4 to a bottle of red. Parents staying. Interview tomorrow. Think maybe I spoke about stuff I wouldn't normally talk about, but my memory is a bit sketchy, so I am panicking about what I said or how I acted. I have styled it out but cringing inside.

I have to cook a roast. I am tired. My head hurts. I feel like I have massive anxiety, am worried I have organ failure, and I have to prep for an interview tomorrow but instead I am looking at Mumsnet waiting for bedtime.

Drank water, vitamin tablets, healthy smoothy, salt and vinger crisps.

You haven't got organ failure.
Drink a couple of pints of water with 2 Paracetamol.

You don't have organ failure, you're just getting old.

Have you never had a hangover before?

You don’t have organ failure. You might feel a bit better later on, or you might not. Probably ok tomorrow though.

I think you need to ask yourself, what made you drink that amount, knowing the tasks you had to do the next day?

Not a judgy post btw more of an are you ok op? I hope it was a case of having a good time and just got away with yourself rather than trying to block something out x

Sorry I read your post as having 3-4 bottles of red wine, not 3 quarters of a bottle

Did you have 3-4 bottles or three quarters.

If 3-4 bottles you're just going to have to push through until you can crawl into a bed. If three quarters just get hydrated and you'll perk up.

Do you have a partner/ husband who can make the roast today?

I have, but not felt like this for a while. I drank it rather quick. Bit nervous about tomorrow and have to entertain family for several more days.

Just under a bottle. I am more a one glass type person.

A Big Mac Meal with full fat Coke and two nurofen will sort you out.

Eat. Drink water. Take painkillers. Have a nap and have a shower. Cook the roast later. You'll be fine!

I discovered that slushies, the more lur id colour the better, work wonders. I presume its the right combination of water, sugar and e numbers.

Red wine gives me migraines...

Feel nauseous now after a cuppa. Have had painkillers. Slushy sounds great. It's the stomach ache that has made me think I've hurt my organs when I know full well I haven't because when I was younger I would have drank far more. I don't think red wine is my thing anymore. I know the doom and gloom I feel is the wine. But its still there. DH is completely fine.

I had a hangover once that didn’t go away after a couple of days and I hadn’t even drunk that much.

Turned out I was pregnant. Morning sickness feels a lot like a hangover…

But I think yours just needs a bit more time

Rehydration sachets will get rid of some of the headache, I swear by them!

As well as salt and vinegar crisps and coke....

A run and a cold water swim works wonders btw. Sounds like you don’t have the time though 😞

This.

2nd line of defence is cheese on toast or kettle chips. You need liquids and salt.

Hot bath also helps, sweat it out.

Delegate the roast to DH.

I feel for you - I had the worst hangover of my life a couple of weeks ago after a wedding where I was drinking red wine, I wasn't im any fit state for anything apart from lying around groaning for the first day and the full effects took about 4 days to fully pass (although don't worry - even if it's as bad as mine I could function on day 2 and felt much better after a shower so you should be ok for your interview!)

Are you able to sneak off back to bed for an hour? Then plenty of fluids - fruit juice helped me, and salty food when you can face it.

Op was it three quarters of a bottle or 3 to 4 bottles as some pp are asking?

Speaking as someone who (used to) drink at least half a bottle every night…

but if you only drank 3/4 of a single bottle, then you’re just not used to alcohol if you now feel so awful (a good thing!) but I strongly suspect you’ll feel much better by tomorrow (since your body is obvs not accustomed to much alcohol so your liver will do its thing).

Drink plenty of water. Eat watery fruit and veg. And good luck with the interview!

I'm mid-40s so that would be a shock. Although I am due on and that makes me sensitive to even a glass of wine. I should have known better. I am going to have a nice bath tonight and a Beck Blue and use the interview as an excuse to go to bed early.

I'm a veggie so the McDs doesn't appeal. Neither does the roast!

It's peri-menopause that's causing this. It can totally change the way your body handles alcohol.

Three quarters, maybe just under a bottle.

I know it doesn't sound a lot to some people, and it wouldn't to me when I was younger, but wow it hurts now.

Grease, carbs, sugar, paracetamol and lots of liquid. You'll be fine tomorrow, you've just got the Fear.

I've taken several pregnancy tests this year because my periods have been late! And then they last for 10 days.

the Fear

Going to play The Fear by The Score while I cook. Wonder if my Mum knows I am hungover and is disapproving of me.
