Morning. I don’t drink often, because I’m terrible at it. But last night, in the thick of the project from hell at work and in the comfort of knowing I don’t have to actually go anywhere today, I made the questionable decision to consume about half a bottle of scotch. I was quite fabulous, DH was treated to my musical renditions of 80’s classics, enticed into some bedroom action and then I spent the final hour of my intoxication before passing out ‘shopping’ online for farm animals which I felt would enhance the aesthetic of our garden. Thankfully no actual purchases were made, but I have the screenshots to prove I was genuinely interested in some rare breeds of adorable hooved animals. Managed to merrily fetch everyone off to school and work and there’s no harm done. But I’ve a fat head and crampy gut today and could do with some tips on how to best manage the situation. What’s the best thing to watch and eat on a hang day? It’s so rare for me to have a day doing nothing I’m not sure I know how to anymore.

What’s the best thing to watch and eat on a hang day?
Whatever you like to watch and eat? I have no idea of your preferences. If you're in a location where you can order breakfast /lunch to the house, I would do that.

Lots of water / lemonade. Sugary tea. Sofa, duvet, pillows. A bingeable sitcom like Friends or Scrubs. Or if you like more action and you have Disney+ recommend Justified, absolutely top drawer TV.

Carbs are your friends.. and cold drinks.. with lots of ice. And a nap.

@MrsElsa justified looks excellent. Thanks! I would never have come across that without your suggestion. I’m gonna roll with that and some beige crap from the freezer.

Sweet tea and carbs.

The first thing I have is a sweet tea and toast or a bacon/sausage/fried egg sandwich.

And as the PP said put on some bingeable TV, nothing too heavy and enjoy the rare occasion of doing nothing all day.

I would go to the gym and then get into bed with the laptop and watch something easy

nutsnutspistachionuts · 07/11/2023 09:03

Potato waffle sandwich and a can of coke

Hahah that sounds so rank. What sauce?

i stay in bed watch Netflix and order a ridiculously expensive take away.
Defo get a McDs brekkie delivered and go back to sleep once you’ve eaten it…… bliss!

Maccies or Tim Hortons breakfast, and I usually end up watching comfort shows - Friends or Brooklyn 99 are my go to as I’ve watched them a million times and require no concentration. Lots of hydration (or coffee/lucozade usually in my case). Something carb heavy for dinner.

MadKittenWoman · 07/11/2023 09:11

Cans of sugary coke and potato sticks / plain crisps, followed by wholemeal spaghetti with butter and Parmesan or egg sandwiches. Stay in bed and binge watch something or have a nap.

@wensleywhale thats admirable. Going to the gym hungover? I’ve never managed to ever go to a gym 🤣 years of nervous energy and anxiety have kept me slim. I went on a treadmill once at BIL house for about 3 mins , I was drunk 😂

I love going to smashing out a leg day when I'm hungover, the dopamine helps the hangxiety
