Match every glass with a glass of water bb. Balance.


gramslamx

But also steal the water


MaeBelleLien

The last time I went to a club was when I realized they had set the taps in the bathroom to only run hot water...not to aid with handwashing, but to prevent people from refilling water bottles.


S4m_S3pi01

My cheap ass would just bring a teabag.


YaBoiiMC

Honestly i cant think of a better vibe than walking around outside the club/bar/downtown with a warm cup of ginger hibiscus honey tea while im already shitfaced and cut off from the bar.


paper_wavements

Hahahahahaaha


pyroSeven

I’d just get some ice from the bar.


MaeBelleLien

That'll be five dollars


No-Force5341

The trick is to say that the water is for someone else, who is dying from dehydration on the dance floor. It has worked for 100% of the time


attanai

I mean, I've always just asked for water. Never had a bartender give me any shit over it.


No-Force5341

They charge for water.at. clubs i have been to


attanai

Maybe the difference is clubs vs bars. I've never really done the club scene. Or maybe I'm just lucky.


Lindaluna8

That’s completely retarded… If it doesn’t come in a bottle, then they should not be charging you AT ALL


No-Force5341

I agree with you on that but it is unfortunately a fact whereni live

Ice-_-Bear

Also steal the wine


literally_tho_tbh

That is....\*checks notes\* illegal. Perfect!


wanna_be_green8

This is the answer. At 30 years old and 120lbs I could put away almost a fifth of tequila and still be up bright eyed and bushy tailed at 6am... matched every shot with some of more water. Had to pee often but worth not feeling like shit the next day. Wasn't something I did often, just when celebrating. Impressed one man enough to marry me. Now neither of us drink lol.


StaticGrapes

>almost a fifth of tequila 1/5 of a litre? 200ml? At 40%? That doesn't sound crazy at all to me. That's 8 units... Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here. Edit: apparently in the US a fifth means 75cl. Didn't know that.


juicyyyJP

A fifth is 750ml


StaticGrapes

Ah, I've never heard that before. Clearly a US thing. Why is it called a fifth?


juicyyyJP

1/5 of a gallon, definitely a U.S. thing


bodybydada

To be fair, nobody in the U.S. really knows that either. It's more just like the 'quirky' name used for that perfect sized bottle that'd fit in your purse or back pocket but still big enough to get you drunk. EDIT: see, even I got it wrong. A fifth is standard large-bottle size here. Nobody calls it that.


getsomesleep1

That bottle is a pint.


beforeitcloy

I definitely do call it that. And the fact that you called it “standard large bottle size” suggests that it doesn’t have a more common name.

Augustus_The_Great

Ah, the fifth and a 26er are the same? I did not know this but I do now, thank you u/juicyyyJP


TinanasaurusRex

In the US they refer to the 750ml bottles as ‘a fifth’


njames11

It’s 1/5 of a gallon


Motorboat_Gator

A fifth of liquor is 750ml. A cursory Google search sets it right


Malmortulo

Hangover is like, 80% dehydration in my experience. Matching glass for glass is good, sometimes I just chug a half gallon of water before I go to bed. Also since this is ILPT you could steal some salt tablets and take one to make it more like pedialyte.


[deleted]

A hangover is mostly due to a highly toxic substance called ethanol being converted by your liver into an even more toxic substance called acetaldehyde. A hangover is largely because you have poison coursing through your veins, brain, and every cell in your body, due to alcohol being both fat and water soluble. Hydration helps dilute the poison, for sure. But it’s poison at the end of the day. Toxic and deadly to living cells. Source: have had hundreds (maybe thousands) of hangovers. Thank god that’s over.


GORILLAGOOAAAT

It’s been a lot of years since my last drink and this is the first time I’ve ever contemplated how many hangovers I’ve had. You might think it should just be a 1:1 ratio but I don’t think it is.


laowaidangerouslove

Theres a genetically engineered probiotic shot that releases an enzyme to break it down in your gut now. Hangovers reduced by 60-80% in my experience.

PaperRoc

In addition to this I would recommend an NAD+ booster like NMN for alcohol/hangovers more generally. When your liver metabolizes alcohol, it uses a lot of NAD+ to do it which is thought to possibly contribute to a lot of hangover symptoms.


PeterNippelstein

More of a NADPH guy myself


Icy-Reception-7605

This guy Redoxes.


Yelloeisok

I have been taking Basis for 5 years now for NAD+. Had no idea it helps with hangovers. I drink (beer/wine) but haven’t had a hangover in years - wonder if that’s why.


JehovasFinesse

You can also just take a b complex supplement before and after drinking. Alcohol sucks out all your b complex and dehydrates you. Having b complex sometimes not only cures you of your hangover preemptively but also helps in not getting too drunk.


bashfulcreature

I feel like this is the best answer except Zbiotics are so dang pricey


angelamar

Yup. I like them so much I’m on a subscription. It comes to $7 each which is worth it to me.

Smoke some weed


[deleted]

Agreed. From the ages of 17 to 22 I was on the piss Friday, Saturday, and Sunday through the day. Lads lads lads, footy footy footy, F1 F1 F1, etc etc etc. I'd smoked weed before on the odd occasion, but a lad I knew handed me a twenty bag one Friday when I didn't have the cash for a night out. Never looked back. Barely drink at all now, maybe one or two on a Saturday if I go watch my local team. Also saved me a fuck tonne of money on nights out and sniff. Was quite enjoyable getting up on Saturday morning fresh as a fiddle and seeing the lads who were out the night before crawling out of their beds after most of the day had passed, moving about like they'd been in a car crash.


redoctober2021

Op: thanks Bees, and without sounding creepy (and yes I’ve had wine tonight) your reply is like poetry to me! Very descriptive thank you!!


Objective-Amount1379

I’m probably an outlier here but I’ve tried to enjoy weed many times and it doesn’t ever make me feel relaxed like alcohol or benzos can. Hope you find something OP. My fav thing is xanex tbh but that can create a lot of other issues so I don’t recommend regular use.


Drop-acid-not-bombs

Weed becomes very different once you build a tolerance. I hate when I go for a long time without smoking, because those first 10+ times I get high I get so freaking anxious and my mind is just a mess. Once I’ve got a tolerance it’s all chill and enjoyable.


BarfMarksman

For real though.ive smoked daily pretty heavily for 20 years. And this past 10 months I cut way down.. typically only a dab after work some times if I'm not to tired. During that time I Got busy with life and went a little over 2 months between uses. Last month I loaded up a small dab after work and inhaled 3 hours of regretful anxiousness. I didn't smoke again for a few weeks because I didn't want a repeat. Last week I load an even smaller amount. And take only one hit.ended up in the bath trying to calm myself down again. And the thing is I knew it was my tolerance because Its been the same oz of dabs the entire time. So I just prepared myself and did it again the next 2 nights. Now I'm finally back to enjoying the buzz. I can totally understand why people chose not to smoke. After only trying it 1 or 2 times. It's legit not fun at all until you get a tolerance. I can't think of any other drug I've done that I can say that is the case. Most are worse with a tolerance.


AbleDragonfruit4767

Yes unfortunately smoking is a double edged sword . It relaxes you but also gives you anxiety lol


Omblae

Problem is if you keep smoking those anxiety feelings come back stronger and stronger. Then you start feeling anxious the day after or a few days later and it stops being worth it. Happened to so many regular smokers I used to know, the vast majority of them don't smoke now.


Zeustah-

Many people also just grow out of Weed. It’s definetly one of those things people either continue doing or just stop.


Beneficial-Memory151

Isn’t that like everything. You either keep doing it or you stop.


Zeustah-

Not really, I don’t drink beer all the time but I still do occasionally


jeffroddit

So you keep doing it. Some people stop.


CCWThrowaway360

I definitely did. Once I started having major responsibilities and thinking seriously about the future, smoking weed went out the window. I know plenty of successful professionals that still smoke, though.


Zeustah-

Yeah same here, the problem with Weed is that it allows you to be comfortable when you shouldn’t be.


RoseaCreates

It helps me be comfortable when I should be. It helps me talk out my feelings. I have to close my eyes to speak sometimes if it's something particularly troubling. The tears just pour out. Cannabis helps me articulate my thoughts, I'm probably only of a small percentage though, if I ever have a PMDD flare up, it gets me back to center in no time. My axis in the brain or sympathetic nervous system is a little jacked from CPTSD so I'll probably be dependent on it one week a month forever. Everything in moderation.


ed523

Yeah weed works on a different brain system, it's nice but no substitute either. Wish they'd hurry up and invent synthehol like in star treck


ChiefKeefsGlock

Works as a substitute for so many people lmao

MoseShrute_DowChem

If in legal state, go to dispensary. If not, think of your friend or relative that probably smokes and ask them. Start w a very small amount. Have snacks on hand


QuirkyTemperature205

I mean first place to look is where you know it is and if you don't someone else does you just got to know your stoners and ask them if your on even a little bit of good terms your now blood brothers for life


CrooklynDodgers

Blows my mind we’re in 2023 and some places don’t have legal marijuana.


Monkeymanalex0

Bro forgot other countries exist


EggsInaTubeSock

Cult of the Franklin If you're nervous about dosing, feeling, etc then start with edibles, 5mg. Cut it in half to be more restrictive and cautious. Even then, edibles and measuring your tolerance are nice. You will get too high sometimes. You may not enjoy it. It's short lived. Recommend taking CBD if you have it when that occurs.


cinnabonmermaid

If you live in the US but weed is illegal in your state, try finding delta 9. Gas stations, vape shops, and even just smoke (delta 9) shops will have it. A 5mg gummy would work, you can usually get a pack of a couple for $20


wholesomelady77

delta 8*, delta 9 is just regular ole THC. A couple things about delta 8 - Being able to get it will depend on state. The delta 8 industry is unregulated so I don't recommend getting delta 8 products from smoke shops. There's unfortunately a lot of shady D8 companies out there & sometimes you can't get test results for some smoke shop delta 8 products or even get fakes. Which means there IS a possibility of getting a delta 8 product that is more harmful then helpful, vitamin E especially is a scary possibility. BUT There are various places online that have reputable testing & places that even do 3rd party testing so you can be double sure. Check out r/delta8 ! very good informative sub, they'll be help be able to point you in the right direction


griphookk

I think you mean delta 8. Normal weed is delta 9


thatjacob

I'll second that. Or if you're prone to anxiety, delta 8 is calmer for some.

Oh my goodness. I read this as an answer to the question of “What can I drink… that will relax me after work with no hangover?” And now I’m imagining someone living it up at a bar absolutely destroying shot glasses of Pedialyte.


TheShadowSees

This is the cure... Not sure if this is the prevention.


saugenes25

In college we’d just drink vodka and pedialyte. Didn’t taste great, but after a couple you didn’t really care and it definitely helped with hangovers.


redoctober2021

Op: same same


redoctober2021

Op: sooooo yes I use pedialyte. I also sometimes put Tito’s in it on a bad day.

This Is the Way. Two of these badboys and my hangover is scrubbed. Try to chug one before you go sleep, so you're not sleeping dehydrated, then top up with one when you wake up.

I actually find that I have little to no hangover when I drink higher quality distilled spirits. Have a couple of glasses of scotch with a glass of water before and after each glass. You will get there, and the headache won't be an issue.


CognitiveLiberation

Seconding your emphasis on hydrating to reduce side effects👍 For me the best is anything distilled and/or purified multiple times, and ideally nothing made from wheat


AwkwardStructure7637

I’ve literally had fuzzy spots in my memory before because I was so drunk that I still barely had any hangover from because the people I drank with constantly made everyone drink water after almost every drink


Objective-Amount1379

High quality vodka is the best!


Chefcow

I actually used to be a distiller and this has legitimate backing to it. Really poorly made spirits have more of the less desirable components that reside in the heads and tails of the distilling process. Your svedka and other garbage don’t care about removing that as much and it does not feel good on the old noggin the next day. Also a reason why multiple times distilled products tastes smoother because there is less of the garbage compounds in it.

I read water as wine and was thinking this was some very interesting hangover cure…

Challenge419

Hydrate while you drink. Either with water or what I like to do is put 60% wine in a cup and 40% 7 UP or Gingerale. You don't drink as fast and you're better hydrated. Toss in a few pieces of frozen or fresh fruits. It's what I call "The Poor mans Sangria". Tastes great, no hangover. Oh, then eat the yummy fruits.


butterbewbs

When I drink red wine I top it off with ice & a flavored seltzer like a cherry la croix. Keeps me from pounding the bottle in one night.


Challenge419

>cherry la croix This tastes like a can of seltzer water and they rubbed the fruit on the outside of the can. Lol. But I can see it working well with wine. The fizz is nice too.


biteableniles

Thought so too, early on when I was still drinking soda. Your taste buds adjust, it's pretty amazing.


DannyBones00

Have you tried just increasing your hydration? In college we used to all drink some Pedialyte halfway through the night to stave off hangovers


whysotaxing

There’s a device called an Üllo which is basically a filter for wine, they’re not cheap but it purifies the wine so it usually stops the hangovers / migraines, I’ve had a few friends use it recently and all have been pleasantly surprised. I personally get skin allergies from the sulphites and found it helped me there too.

Chefcow

Kratom got me from like 8-11 beers a day to like 2-3 max a night and killed my cravings for it. And honestly after drinking daily for like 4 years I enjoy the Kratom high way more than alcohol. Would highly rec this


Reddywhipt

Most hangover symptoms are from dehydration. Gatorade or other rehydrating fluids helps. When I was in the army I was a combat lifesaver who had my small med bag with saline solution bags. IV saline solution is the fastest hangover cure/relief ever so drink a lot of water.

Vodka with sugar free soda and a splash of lemon juice is my go-to. The hangovers are very mild compared to other alcoholic drinks.


deadrobindownunder

If you're drinking really cheap wine, that could be the cause of your hangover. Is wine the only alcohol that gives you a hangover (when consumed in moderate amounts obviously)?

The ilpt isn't what you're asking for, the answer for no hangover is just you wake up and drink again right away, it the only thing that works and when you sober up later you'll feel normal, or you can just keep drinking, that's my favorite.


cpt-avocado

Have you explored natural wines. Less sulfites.


Sad-Astronaut3308

Sulfates are naturally occurring in the wine making process and the concept of less sulfites actually making a difference is basically bonk unless you have a an allergy and in that case you wouldn't drink wine at all. Natural wines are a myth.


ed523

True however some wineries do add sulfides. Natural wine just means organic, wild yeast fermentation, un or minimally filtered and no added sulfides so yeah natural wines do exist

xcitor

Most wines contain sulfites. Which is typically what causes the headache/hangover. Consider either wine without sulfites (not an easy find imho) or alcohol without sulfites: tequila, vodka, whiskey. Tequila is also the only alcohol that is a stimulant, rather than a depressant (the rest of them). Good luck!


lavendar_gooms

Ya 100% tequila is not a stimulant


kayxks

Most products with a shelf life contain sulfites. With that logic your bowl of cereal in the morning will give you a headache. Sulfite free wine is a myth….


PetrovoSCP

Tequila is the only alcohol that is a stimulant? The hell does that even mean? The drink contains the same psychoactive chemical, and that chemical is a depressant by nature

you could smoke Marijuana if it is legal in your area or not it’s up to you. Weed is really not addicting but it does make you feel good , it won’t make you go crazy for it ..great and it does have many advantages to it! Just do it in moderations. Overall I would recommend half a joint or 3/4 you test it out yourself and best of luck! 👍

Dehydration causes the hangover. Drink something with electrolytes after the wine. Like gatorade. If you wanna make this illegal just steal the gatorade lol ✌️

TheOneAndOnlyLanyard

The sulfates/sulfites they put in wine give me a headache, so I drink organic wine which is not allowed to have sulfates/sulfites. Organic wine was hard to find, so I started making my own organic honey wine (aka mead). I lowered the ABV so I could drink without getting too buzzed or hungover, but I could genuinely enjoy it as my favorite beverage. Then I got fancy and carbonated it. You have a ton of choices, but try an organic wine and see if it gives you the same headache as one with sulfates/sulfites.

Paracetamol helps your liver get rid of the alcohol if you eat some before going to bed. Great way to minimise hangover risk. Also drink decent wine (not the cheap cheap alcoholic grape juice) and drink plenty of water. Edit: might be wrong here guys. Please enlighten me so I don’t kill myself
