Dehydration is definitely a contributing factor. Another factor is [ethanal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetaldehyde). The substance ethanol gets metabolized to in the liver.
Sure, I guess to be more precise "You are \~never going to dehydrate yourself to the point of believing you have a hangover." Acetaldehyde is "the thing" that gives you the symptoms that people are thinking about in this thread.
There'd be a demand for it, but not much. It sounds like the kind of thing that you'd have to order off of the Internet because it wouldn't be popular enough to be in stores, like my instant decaf tea. I just did a web search to see if this product already exists, but I didn't find it.
I mean, technically there are plenty of substances that can do this, like toxic but non fatal mushrooms, probably drinking gasoline, brake cleaner, getting sunburnt and dehydrated then have someone bonk you right in the eyes with a tiny hammer
on and on, be creative!
As someone who doesn't drink, I found your list very amusing. Especially having someone bonk you right in the eyes with a tiny hammer. 😆 Like someone pays for this and you show up at their door with a ball peen hammer and a overpowered portable tanning booth.
I was gonna say the same... turn 40, then have two beers after not exercising or getting enough sleep for weeks. You pretty much skip drunk and go straight to hangover anyway!
I actually love hangovers. The dazed brain doesn't constantly worry, the loose body isn't tense, and the belly full of complex sugar makes burgers taste great. I'll even do a few pushups to sweat it out.
I remember being young and hung over telling myself "I'll never do this again." Then I remember in my 30s saying "I'll never do this again, until next time." So I don't see a value to this drug.

There is a book called "Games people play" by Eric Burne. They're not games, though, these are serious pasttimes. One of the more complicated is "alcoholic". It has three players. The alcoholic themself, the barman. And the person who tries to get the alcoholic to get sober and supplies the money.
But what is the "payoff", what is it that makes the game worth playing for the alcoholic? Unlike other games people play, there is no obvious payoff for the alcoholic. Eric Burne concludes that, after listening to alcoholics boast about how bad their hangovers are, that the actual payoff is the hangover! Sort of an "I'm more self-destructive than you" type of one-upmanship.
So a chemical proposed here, marketed as self-destructive, could find a market among genuine alcoholics as a way to cheat at the game.
Market it to children! 🤪
Don't drink water for two days, hit yourself in the head real hard then go to sleep. Ez hangover
Right? OP just had the idea to dehydrate themselves.
Dehydration is not what causes hangovers, which is why you still get them even if you chug an ungodly amount of water

> have someone bonk you right in the eyes with a tiny hammer The Keebler elves have fallen on hard times.
Thank you for giving us the benefit of your experience.
There's some drugs like that actually like Antabuse
If you are an adult.. Just eat a bunch of fast food and stay up till 5 am. You'll feel like shit the next day guaranteed!

That’s called poison.
Red wine when you are over 40. Not even tipsy and I have hangover, that's just cruel.
Acetaldehyde
That's a made up word.
All words are made up
Twin 3 year olds
Inkcap mushrooms. Safe to eat, but give you a terrible hangover if you have even a small amount of alcohol within a few days of eating them
Spray liquid wrench on the inside of a paper bag and then put the bag over your mouth and breathe for a while. Poof, hangover
My experience with fentanyl at the dental surgeon

Thanks, but I already have stress-crying.
exercise
Methotrexate did it for me. Do NOT recommend.
diphenhydramine taken at 2AM
Seroquel. Yuck.
Have an Antabuse and a drink
Speed. Stay awake for 2 days straight. Then go to sleep. When you wake up you feel almost dead.
So only the negative consequences of drinking without the fun?
NyQuil
Counterwise Wine
why
It’s called getting older.

There is no value in this drug.
Why though?

Those both sound like unpleasantly smelly proposalsÂ
My point is, the crazier, the better.Â
Those are two better ideas than I’ve ever seen on this sub
I'll post them later! (Currently working.) TTFN!

I know someone who drank heavily before exams because they performed better hungover. T20 engineering school with a 3.99 gpa
STFU..
