I'm off to McDonald's to seek the cure!

Shoxfordian · 09/09/2018 10:58

I know the feeling
Having a shandy later, that'll help

Starwednesday · 09/09/2018 11:08

It’s definitely starting, I feel dizzy, my head is starting to hurt and I feel a bit queasy

Haha I'll join. Nearly 50 ffs! Thank GOD for modern science (headache pills!) and food.

I feel better since a fry up and a beer.

Doing a birthday (ds 11) buffet for 10 in a couple of hours Confused

I was hoping I would have grown out of this by now, but I never learn, I’ve decided to give up drinking until the Christmas do now

Try and get your hands on some blackcurrant dioralyte. And berocca.
Keep taking paracetamol and also ibuprofen; the trick is to try and keep it at bay.
Keep sipping water and diluting orange if you can get some, not sugar-free Grin
Capri suns are ideal.
Plenty of carbs. Crisps (for the salt).
A fry-up is good and fried bread is amazing!
Mostly, just try to rest and drink water. A hot shower and washing hot hair will help.
Tell yourself that it will pass and look forward to having a takeaway later Grin
Btw I have a mahoosive bruise on my knee Wink

Icouldbehappy · 09/09/2018 11:27

Washing your hair *
Not hot hair!

Went to friends for dinner last night. Ate way too much rich food and drank prosecco, white wine and then red wine like it was going out of fashion. The finale was a couple of generous glasses of cherry schnapps liqueur. I feel like death, have a fuzzy head and the world is falling out of my bum! Drinking hot, sweet tea and staying close to the loo isn't what I had planned for today. When, oh when will I learn...I'm 58 ffs 😁😁😁

Starwednesday · 09/09/2018 12:00

I’m now at wetherspoons waiting for my fry up 😬

I'm hanging too. Four g&t and some a lot of wine. Fuuuuuuck. Got people over for a bbq soon. I'm on the full fat coke. Will a glass of wine help me? Grin

Bluntness100 · 09/09/2018 12:30

A glass of wine will help today.

But it just makes tomorrow worse. 🤣

crazycatlady5 · 09/09/2018 12:38

@ThomasShelbysBunnet rolled in from a party at 8am? How many red bulls did you drink to keep you going that long? Or was it something else...? WinkGrin

riske · 09/09/2018 12:51

@Bluntness100 Tomorrow is a problem for 'future me'. Grin

Tigertrig · 09/09/2018 13:06

Went out last night and somehow felt like a naughty child when my DDs asked if I had had some chips at the end of the night and what time I came in. Wouldn't mind so much except this was my first full night out since having DS two years ago...

Mrsharrison · 09/09/2018 13:10

I'm still in bed. But feel better than i did yesterday. I'm 55 and wine is not my friend. The mojito doesn't like me much and spiced rum is very two faced.
Vomited yesterday morning.
I won't do it again.

Mightywease · 09/09/2018 13:14

Last night I said "I mustn't drink too much as I don't want to go into work with a hangover. Again!"

7.00am I was at work downing diet coke and paracetamol. The headache still hasn't gone. At last I didn't throw up.

I'm 51!

Anastassiabeaverhausen · 09/09/2018 13:18

Aye gin will fuck you up. It creeps up on you, it's a sneaky bastard.
I went to the hardware shop today just for a sausage with onion in bread. Two sausages with onion, sauce and mustard, plus a Sprite

Anastassiabeaverhausen · 09/09/2018 13:19

@riske more alcohol is the only way you can survive today!

Starwednesday · 09/09/2018 13:21

Hangover update:
Managed most of a spoons traditional breakfast (not the hash browns too greasy)
Feel a bit worse now so I’ve retreated back to bed, I’ve got work at 5pm so hopefully a nap will help and I might be back to some kind of normality for work tonight
No headache yet, just tired and a bit queasy

OP posts:
Starwednesday · 09/09/2018 13:22

There’s no way I could contemplate more alcohol at this point even as a short term solution 🤢
