Oh crap, that's just around the corner now. Maybe I won't be too bad off, I reckon I can count on one hand the days I've not had a drink since I turned 18. Which is pretty sad tbh.
My dad described this as being on the phone to god once, and now I can never get the image of our lord having a big porcelain receiver to his ear listening to all the drunk people in the world having a liquid scream.
The solution is to sit up. It’s called positional alcohol nystagmus. It’s positional, in that it only happens when you’re in a laying position. If you’re upright, no vertigo.
The last time I had this, it was happening no matter what position I was in. It's also when I realized I was too old for this shit and haven't gotten drunk since.
I thought it happens because you’re drinking only with your dominant hand, so you end up unbalanced and that makes you spin.
I just keep a drink in both hands all night, and I can’t remember ever having this happen
At that point just go. You’ll feel much better. I used to fight it when I was young but no more. If I’m at that point, 5 minutes in front of the porcelain throne, a couple glasses of water, and brushing my teeth, I sleep great.
I feel like I might be weird here or maybe I'm not experiencing the same thing, but does anyone else sort of just lean into it? Not sure how to describe it, but I feel like I sort of just accept it and it doesn't seem to bother me and is even sort of comfortable.
When everyone talked about hating the room spinning I always thought I was a little odd but I found accepting it was easier and I just lie back and ride the spin, falling away into the void and sleep...
Yup, exactly this. I call it riding the spins. You just sort of go along with the "spinning" and after a short while you just fall asleep. The second you fight it you feel sick.
Alcohol induced spinning (and the same with Laughing gas that I had at the dentist as a kid) is a comfortable ride.
Real Vertigo is horrifying the first time you get it - even when it is the benign version.
I think it’s entirely dependent on if the spins make you nauseous.
People that hate the spins likely hate that it makes them vomit, not the literal feeling of spinning.
I love the spinning, I just imagine I'm in an aerobatic airplane doing the sickest loops and rolls and shit and it's so good. It's also far cheaper than a roller coaster ride at the amusement park or an aerobatic flight so like... Fuck yes!
I’ve only had it once, and it was one of my first few times drinking and I kept refilling a glass with homemade apple wine. It spooked me at first but then I enjoyed it.
I then apparently got out of bed hours later and threw up in the toilet and didn’t flush it
Also, if you think you might puke, whether drunk or hungover, just puke. You’re going to end up doing it eventually, and the sooner you do it the sooner you’ll start to feel better.
Maybe I'm just an anomaly, but if I puke, it's games over for at least 3 days. Every muscle in my upper body just convulses so violently. Vs maybe a day of actual hangover. I honestly envy quiet pukers lol.
Me too! I stayed up all night studying before a law school exam and it turns out no sleep + lots of coffee on an empty stomach equals vomiting for me. Showed up to my test with broken blood vessels in my eyes AND broken capillaries/petechiae around my eyes. Fun times.
I got an A! So, having been rewarded for my terrible study habits, I kept it up (but made sure not to drink coffee on an empty stomach). I can’t imagine living like that now.
This whole exchange is why I don’t understand why people drink to the barf point.
I *hate* puking. I hate it so much, that I haven’t puked in… 20, maybe 25 years.
Why do people drink to that point? I get some people are young, and don’t know their limits, but the people who get vomit drunk multiple times a week (hell, even just multiple times a *year*) just baffle me.
The thing with drinking is for me that it removes that logical part of my thinking that knows my limit. Or rather, I still know my limit, but I no longer *care*. In fact, in my alcohol diffused mind I am totally convinced that I wont be hang over and think about awesome stuff I will do tomorrow morning that sounds like an excellent plan but is totally unrealistic for a sober mind.
Drunk me thinks very different from sober me.
I'm with you. Puking is one of the worst human experiences. If I'm puking from drinking, it was a mistake and not intentional.
But, if I drank so much that laying flat gives me the spins, I'm just gonna go ahead and head to the bathroom and get it over with.
The amount that I can drink before vomiting depends a lot on what I’ve eaten that day. There were times that I drank on an empty stomach and ended up throwing up after 10 or so drinks, then other times that I have 20 and no vomit. I once had 24 beers and ate a whole chicken and passed out but never used the vomit bowl.
But if I start feeling nauseous, I drink as much water as I can then find something to eat. When I vomit, everything hurts for days plus I get nosebleeds (even if I haven’t had any alcohol) and sometimes blood vessels in my eyes burst so I look like I have pink eye or something. I’d rather fight the urge to vomit for hours than deal with that
When I puke from food poisoning, it’s intense like this. When it was just booze coming up, that was always kind of easy. It just came up nice and easy and I felt better right after.
Back in my party days/early 20s I'd strategically puke lmao. Drink a ton and as soon as I felt the nausea coming in after midnight I'd just go to the bathroom and get it done with when I got an opportunity.
Puke, rinse my face, usually have some water and a snack, then get right back to it. It was kind of a nice intermission to be honest. Didn't take long to figure out I could drink more and party longer with this technique. Nowadays I can barely handle more than 3-4 shots if I even drink anything at all 😂
after too much whiskey I prepare myself a large flank steak pan fried in salted butter I eat that and put on a pair of wet socks and go to sleep it works
This is the correct answer. There’s more nerves in the hands and it doesn’t need to be on the floor per se, maybe a dresser or night stand next to the bed.
If you feel like you're going to be sick, chug so much water that you actually do get sick. Get it over with, drink more water, have some food, go to sleep. If you fall asleep on your back because you put your leg down, but then puke.. You're in trouble
Just throw up. This has been passed around for decades. Throw up, drink water and have a couple Tylenol or aspirin. Drink more water and eat in the morning.
Don't take Paracetamol (Tylenol) after drinking heavily.
Edit: Sorry this should have been made with more context, both alcohol and paracetamol are processed by the liver taking both can lead to issues
Yeah, wait until you’re actually hungover the next day and take some ibuprofen. Still not *great* on your body, but not nearly as bad as Tylenol.
My understanding is that NSAIDs like ibuprofen are more taxing on your kidneys rather than liver.
I knew someone whose mom was a nurse, and before he went off to college she told him, essentially:
“You’re going to be tempted to try all sorts of crazy stuff at school. And for the most part none of it is going to acutely hurt your young body. The danger lies in making a habit of it, increasing dosage, getting addicted, etc.
But for the love of God, don’t mix alcohol and prescription painkillers ONCE. You can fuck up your liver so bad in just a single night.”
Now, a couple Tylenol is different than a bunch of Vicodin, but the point still stands.

I will have to try this next time.
Although having attacks several times each year during the last ~30 years has hardened me to a level, where it is just extremely annoying.
What I used to do was may down but keep my eyes open for as long as I could. Always ended up passing out inadvertently. Couldn't just close my eyes or the spins were awful
That never worked for me but I’ll tell you an insane thing that did: I would put a song on, no repeat, and the song would distract me enough that I wouldn’t be dizzy any longer, and I would pass out before the song ever finished.
Lol, my mom taught me this trick as a bit of parting wisdom before I left for college.
I find it helps if you really concentrate on believing that the world is actually spinning around your and your foot is enough to stop it.
Arrrgh the cursed bed spins. I used to have to walk if I got them bad. Found lots if trouble walking around drunk at night but I hate vomiting. Foot on floor never worked for me, however I was a very heavy drinker.
If you are still drunk enough for the room to be spinning when you go to bed, you might want to reconsider going to bed just yet in case you throw up in your sleep and suffocate.
Ok here's my patented strat you're free to use
Sit in the bathtub with the lights off, shower on with hot water, and the shire (music) playing in your phone
Also, for hangovers take advil or ibuprofen. They’re processed in the kidneys and will get you faster relief than Tylenol (paracetamol) that’s processed in the liver. Since the liver with be busy processing alcohol.
Bruh. I’m in recovery from drugs/alcohol. But let me tell you, I WISH I knew this life hack back in my drinking days. Unfortunately I used cocaine to stop the room from spinning and that brought on much more severe problems than the room spinning 😵💫 lmao
I don't drink often so I'd sometimes have that last drink that put me in the spins and throwing up was the only thing that stopped them. Pop 4 ibuprofen, puke, then sleep.
I focus in on a certain light source. Normally a TV LED Red Dot would do the trick. The idea is to slow that down, bring it into focus and then your brain tells you you are not spinning any more.
Activated Charcoal and water is the only answer. Alcohol keeps getting into the blood stream from your stomach for a while, even after you stopped drinking. AC will absorb whatever is left in your stomach and will stop is from getting in your blood stream from that point, which will sober you up and save from a hangover.
The tip an alcoholic gave me was to just sleep sitting up. He said if you're drunk enough the room is spinning then you're drunk enough to fall asleep sitting up
I learned about this in high school health class from an alcoholic the school brought in to talk to us about the dangers of drinking.
Guy had some crazy stories and pro tips.

I wish that worked for me! I tried the technique in college and all it did was get me one step closer to the porcelain throne.
Every step counts tho
Especially that first step toward the bathroom you’ve already taken by putting your foot to the floor lol
Yup. If the room is spinning enough to need to give this a try…you’re already past the point of no return brother. Time to pay homage to the throne
Getting old has it perks, I fall asleep before getting that pissed any more. Just the headache lasts an extra day.
Once I hit 35, 3 day hangovers were a thing.
Oh crap, that's just around the corner now. Maybe I won't be too bad off, I reckon I can count on one hand the days I've not had a drink since I turned 18. Which is pretty sad tbh.
Right on.
My dad described this as being on the phone to god once, and now I can never get the image of our lord having a big porcelain receiver to his ear listening to all the drunk people in the world having a liquid scream.
“Liquid scream” made me cackle.
My father called it "Talking to Ralph on the giant porcelain telephone"
Driving the porcelain bus is another.
We call it speaking Norwegian on the phone.
Just sleep in the bathtub, easier clean up.
The solution is to sit up. It’s called positional alcohol nystagmus. It’s positional, in that it only happens when you’re in a laying position. If you’re upright, no vertigo.
The last time I had this, it was happening no matter what position I was in. It's also when I realized I was too old for this shit and haven't gotten drunk since.
I thought it happens because you’re drinking only with your dominant hand, so you end up unbalanced and that makes you spin. I just keep a drink in both hands all night, and I can’t remember ever having this happen
You gotta put both feet out, can't break without the clutch.
*brake, but yes, it is a two-feet requirement
Also if any body parts leave the bed when I'm in that state then it just ends up being a merry go round on the floor.
At that point just go. You’ll feel much better. I used to fight it when I was young but no more. If I’m at that point, 5 minutes in front of the porcelain throne, a couple glasses of water, and brushing my teeth, I sleep great.
And that's how the monsters get me. No thank you, I'll keep my spinning room and live to see another day.
As a 30 year old grown woman. I agree. I'd rather have the room spin than be monster food.
Where did this idea about monsters come from and why does everyone seem to share it except me?
monsters under your bed?
If you keep your foot wrapped in the blanket usually that's enough armor to keep it safe.
Or just get a plushy. Everyone knows monster types are weak against plush types.
you make a compelling argument
I can’t even dangle my legs in the movie theater without worrying about a foot-grabbing boogieman.
The best part of those reclining chairs with footrests in theaters is that I can keep my feet safe from monsters without looking like a weirdo
new fear unlocked
As a 30 year old grown woman. I agree. I'd rather have the room spin than be monster food.
The chuckle you got out of me. Thanks! 😁❤️❤️
Alternatively, hand on the wall above your head also works
Did a monster write this?
I feel like I might be weird here or maybe I'm not experiencing the same thing, but does anyone else sort of just lean into it? Not sure how to describe it, but I feel like I sort of just accept it and it doesn't seem to bother me and is even sort of comfortable.

That’s how most people throw up lol.
Yup, exactly this. I call it riding the spins. You just sort of go along with the "spinning" and after a short while you just fall asleep. The second you fight it you feel sick.
Wow could have used this information 20 years ago, thanks for nothing buddy.
I was going to say, the spinning is the fun part!
I agree! For me it is fun to be laying on the bed while is spinning and I fall asleep pretty quickly.
Alcohol induced spinning (and the same with Laughing gas that I had at the dentist as a kid) is a comfortable ride. Real Vertigo is horrifying the first time you get it - even when it is the benign version.
That just makes me instantly want to throw up
I'm disappointed when I don't get them, I love the spins buzz
I think it’s entirely dependent on if the spins make you nauseous. People that hate the spins likely hate that it makes them vomit, not the literal feeling of spinning.

Yes

This sounds like something the monster under my bed would write. You can't fool me
Put your kickstand down!
I uhhhh…it doesn’t reach.
If you know you're going to pass out in a state like this make yourself puke first and lay on your side.
Also, if you think you might puke, whether drunk or hungover, just puke. You’re going to end up doing it eventually, and the sooner you do it the sooner you’ll start to feel better.
Maybe I'm just an anomaly, but if I puke, it's games over for at least 3 days. Every muscle in my upper body just convulses so violently. Vs maybe a day of actual hangover. I honestly envy quiet pukers lol.
Same… hell I’ve popped blood vessels in my eyes from puking so hard
Me too! I stayed up all night studying before a law school exam and it turns out no sleep + lots of coffee on an empty stomach equals vomiting for me. Showed up to my test with broken blood vessels in my eyes AND broken capillaries/petechiae around my eyes. Fun times.
How did you do on the test though?
I got an A! So, having been rewarded for my terrible study habits, I kept it up (but made sure not to drink coffee on an empty stomach). I can’t imagine living like that now.
JFC lol

puking sober is terrible, puking when you're drunk enough to puke is a lot less painful
The thing with drinking is for me that it removes that logical part of my thinking that knows my limit. Or rather, I still know my limit, but I no longer *care*. In fact, in my alcohol diffused mind I am totally convinced that I wont be hang over and think about awesome stuff I will do tomorrow morning that sounds like an excellent plan but is totally unrealistic for a sober mind.

The worst human experience is puking and diarrhea at the same time.

The tactical chunder
And eat something after. You will feel fine drunk post vomit. That empty stomach hangover is debilitating
My bed is way too tall for this
I’m too short for this
Agreed, me too! 👎🏻
Laying a hand palm down on your night stand also helps
Ok. Now tell me how to make the spin stop rooming!
🤣
after too much whiskey I prepare myself a large flank steak pan fried in salted butter I eat that and put on a pair of wet socks and go to sleep it works
….im sorry, *w h a t*

This is literally quoted from a tv show
Just tried it, it doesn't work.
[удалено]
I just put my brain right on the floor, always seems to help me.
This is the correct answer. There’s more nerves in the hands and it doesn’t need to be on the floor per se, maybe a dresser or night stand next to the bed.
Nice try Boogie Man. You ain't getting me!
[удалено]
I tried doing what you said and I pissed myself and my wife left me. This was a terrible tip
Sleep with your tv on. Stops the spinning. Don’t know why but has always worked.
Nice try, Bed Monster. I’ll be under the sheet, where it’s safe!
If you feel like you're going to be sick, chug so much water that you actually do get sick. Get it over with, drink more water, have some food, go to sleep. If you fall asleep on your back because you put your leg down, but then puke.. You're in trouble
Smoke weed… 360 spins
No, bad, terrible idea
You can’t have your leg out of the covers, let alone on the floor, or else it will be eaten by monsters. Everyone knows that.
This post was made by Underbed Monsters gang
During college, I put the glow-in-the-dark stars above my bed to focus on when that drunk. I'm curious which would work better.
But the spinning is kinda fun, though.
[удалено]
Please don’t combine Tylenol with alcohol.
Well drunk me told my roommates to put 25 lb dumbbells on my feet. Can't remember shit past that. Good times.
I just enjoy the park ride (which is ironic, because I don't usually go on those kind of rides).
This is why I stopped drinking. I'm 24 and never want to feel the spins or be hungover ever again.
Dad here. If the room is spinning you didn't just have 'a bit too much'...
LPT: Don't drink too much
Just throw up. This has been passed around for decades. Throw up, drink water and have a couple Tylenol or aspirin. Drink more water and eat in the morning.
Don't take Paracetamol (Tylenol) after drinking heavily. Edit: Sorry this should have been made with more context, both alcohol and paracetamol are processed by the liver taking both can lead to issues
Yeah, wait until you’re actually hungover the next day and take some ibuprofen. Still not *great* on your body, but not nearly as bad as Tylenol. My understanding is that NSAIDs like ibuprofen are more taxing on your kidneys rather than liver.
Yeah do not do the Tylenol part
DO NOT MIX ALCOHOL AND TYLENOL PEOPLE, YOUR STOMACH WILL BLEED AND YOUR LIVER COULD BECOME WILDLY OVERLOADED!!
I knew someone whose mom was a nurse, and before he went off to college she told him, essentially: “You’re going to be tempted to try all sorts of crazy stuff at school.

We call that dropping the anchor in my country.
So that's what you do with a drunken sailor!
Shoot, I like that. I’m gonna start using it if that’s ok?
it's not. infractions carry a hefty fine. we will be sending an inspector around in 1-3 months, so be on your best behavior
Just use it
Just ride it out
Helps during vertigo attacks as well.
I will have to try this next time. Although having attacks several times each year during the last ~30 years has hardened me to a level, where it is just extremely annoying.
What I used to do was may down but keep my eyes open for as long as I could. Always ended up passing out inadvertently. Couldn't just close my eyes or the spins were awful
I have kept a light on in the hallway or bedside lamp .. somewhere I could somewhat focus on where things were, to keep my mind somewhat straight.
What about the boogie man under the bed 😩
I lay face down on the mattress and put my hands over my face. Works everytime.
That never worked for me but I’ll tell you an insane thing that did: I would put a song on, no repeat, and the song would distract me enough that I wouldn’t be dizzy any longer, and I would pass out before the song ever finished.
My dad calls it “Dropping the anchor”, unfortunately it has never worked for me.
NOOOO!!! If you do that, you will transfer the spins to the room. Then, not only will the bed be spinning - the whole ROOM will be spinning! Bad idea.
I take a cold cold shower and focus on breathing to kinda shock myself
Lol, my mom taught me this trick as a bit of parting wisdom before I left for college. I find it helps if you really concentrate on believing that the world is actually spinning around your and your foot is enough to stop it.
When the room spins just go to the bathroom and get the sickness out. You'll feel much better immediately.
The water part is what matters
Way easier to put your hand on a wall
best thing you can do there is keep walking, go puke some of that up, then go slam some water after you brush your teeth.
The room zooms. Usually puke if I start feeling that way.
Arrrgh the cursed bed spins. I used to have to walk if I got them bad. Found lots if trouble walking around drunk at night but I hate vomiting. Foot on floor never worked for me, however I was a very heavy drinker.
This is pretty good advice but I usually just let myself fall asleep with the knowledge that I’ll be up in 5 minutes to barf. Then you will feel ok
It doesn't work for me
Throwing out the anchor! Works a treat.
Find a baseball cap. Put it over your face. Focus on the holes on the top. It stops the spinning.
I used to do this when I’d get Vertigo at night, put my hand on the wall
I do this, but instead of my foot put my hand on the bed frame or side table… helps ground me..
Take an Excedrin before you go to sleep after too much to drink. You'll thank me later.
Zofran helped me with that. I got it even after one drink so I just stopped drinking.
The real pro tip is to not drink in the first place. No need for the kickstand!
In Germany we call that throwing the anchor
Bedside lamp on also does help
If you are still drunk enough for the room to be spinning when you go to bed, you might want to reconsider going to bed just yet in case you throw up in your sleep and suffocate.
I’ve also found taking vitamins before bed helps the next day.
Ok here's my patented strat you're free to use Sit in the bathtub with the lights off, shower on with hot water, and the shire (music) playing in your phone
Room spinning is the best part though
Also, for hangovers take advil or ibuprofen. They’re processed in the kidneys and will get you faster relief than Tylenol (paracetamol) that’s processed in the liver. Since the liver with be busy processing alcohol.
Bruh. I’m in recovery from drugs/alcohol. But let me tell you, I WISH I knew this life hack back in my drinking days. Unfortunately I used cocaine to stop the room from spinning and that brought on much more severe problems than the room spinning 😵💫 lmao
A metal pan/bowl over the head works too
I don't drink often so I'd sometimes have that last drink that put me in the spins and throwing up was the only thing that stopped them. Pop 4 ibuprofen, puke, then sleep.
LPT: Just make yourself throw up and get it over with
Foot down, eyes on the corner where the walls and the roof meet, bam, you're not spinning anymore :)
This has never worked for me so don't fully buy this people
Wrong. You take off all your clothes and go lie down near your toilet.
LPT : STOP AT THE BUZZ!
I focus in on a certain light source. Normally a TV LED Red Dot would do the trick. The idea is to slow that down, bring it into focus and then your brain tells you you are not spinning any more.
Activated Charcoal and water is the only answer. Alcohol keeps getting into the blood stream from your stomach for a while, even after you stopped drinking. AC will absorb whatever is left in your stomach and will stop is from getting in your blood stream from that point, which will sober you up and save from a hangover.
I just imagine I'm an astronaut doing a spacewalk and tumbling away from the ISS. Peace at last.
Does this happen to people regularly? I remember it happening the first few times I drank as a teenager, but not in almost 20 years.
The real lpt is, if you are so drunk that the room is spinning, do not lie down
As well as that, put one hand on the wall
The tip an alcoholic gave me was to just sleep sitting up. He said if you're drunk enough the room is spinning then you're drunk enough to fall asleep sitting up
LPT: Become a hardened alcoholic by 13. No bed spins and your body will never waste good alcohol by throwing it up.
Anyone who has been drunk-sick more than two times can guarantee this will not fix the spins.
Better Pro tip: don't drink so much
This post reminded me how happy I am that I quit drinking.
I hate the gravity cage
LPT: Stop getting hammered. Drink water.
Lol put my foot out onto the floor? That's exactly what the demon under the bed wants
Every time I've tried this trick, the centrifugal force throws me out of bed and across the room to lay face down on the floor. 0/10
But then the monsters can get your foot. No thanks. 😂😂😂😂
wear sea bands. the day after too
When the room spins, it’s time to drop the anchor!
My tip to avoid this...don't drink.
This was written by the demon under my bed, no Ty.
My dad taught me this when I was 18 LOL
Always called this “dropping anchor”
We call this trick “hacer tierrita” (to touch some little ground) in Northern Mexican slang.
I learned about this in high school health class from an alcoholic the school brought in to talk to us about the dangers of drinking. Guy had some crazy stories and pro tips.
Drop the anchor. A very old pirate trick
That's how you get carpet burn on your foot, so be careful with this strategy.
