hangovers as you get into your 40's and older

Ive found in recent years i suffer far less than when I was in my 20s/30s.

Me too never get em any more..probably no brain cells left..

Seriously, I never have a hangover.

Strange really, when remembering "The Whirling Pit", and associated nausea that went with it!

I don't do this with any conscious reasoning, but always have water at the bedside in a chrome "Thermos" jug,
which is always drunk during the night.

I can't just remember which of "The Rat Pack" it was that said he was sorry for people who don't drink, because when they get up
it was the best they will feel for the entire day!

Dean Martin I think.

I agree older I get the worse they are after a session

never had one until I hit 21. My old man never has them but I suppose that's because of the years of training at the brewery.

I am not keen on drinking two nights on the trot any more

Me neither. Four or five suits me better

I've had about 8 drink free days in 20 years.

What a load of wimps!

hangovers from hell every weekend here and im 56

I could never become an alcoholic because I have such god awful hangovers I'm actually afraid of drinking too much.

The depressive state....thought i was the only one that got them ....i get it really bad ..only started about 12 months ago .. i am 53 ///harldy drink at all now for that reason

I'm in my 50's, I'd had enough of hangovers by my late 20's, the pleasure just isn't worth the pain.

1 day on the sauce = 2 days to recover

hangovers becoming more brutal as the years go by

anxiety, depression with some major bouts of THE FEAR

29 here and the depression i get from hangovers is unbearable absoutley awful

I read somewhere that your fitness determines the severity and recovery rate of your hangover, that must be why mine takes a fortnight to get over.

I'm 49 and I find my liquid prescription is the best tonic to stave off the gloom - no hangovers drinking spirits is a huge bonus for me though 4/5/6 pints is well enough as any more and I can feel it the next day...I felt like shít last Saturday for no reason other than 9 pints the night before which was well over my limit - that was a rarity for me and I'm planing on avoiding that tomorrow night.

It was strange to feel 'down' without anything particularly distressing having occurred and there's more than a grain of truth in this thread.

PS - when I drink real ale in the boozer (if it's available) it's treats me a lot better than the normal gassy balls that's probably laced with all kinds of shíte.

think you could be right there burton brewers


will be a trying out this method 2nite before heading to bed

litre of water
multivitamin
2x Paracetamol and Codeine

8 hours sleep and be ok for 2moro fingers crossed

when I drink real ale in the boozer (if it's available) it's treats me a lot better than the normal gassy balls that's probably laced with all kinds of shíte

yes that's been proven about the chemicals that they put in some of the crap

Avoid hangovers ,Stay drunk imo

Never appreciated how fortunate I am not to suffer any effect from the drink until I stayed over at a party one night and saw the suffering of others the next morning, an episode that has been repeated regularly since marrying, though not sure if it is the hangover that is bad or it is just an excuse for the wife to have a lazy day...!

your a lucky man cork langer

i could do 3 nights in a row clubbing in early twenties and be sound as a pound for work on monday

all changed from 26 onwards

How old are you Pug

I used to drink like you & Bhoys but then realized it's not the booze that makes you depressed , you drink because you're depressed & then becomes a vicious circle where it's the only thing that cheers you up a bit , drinking so much is v dangerous & addictive long term

im 30 mc

had a massive binge at xmas time then took a month off it til last week

physically felt a lot better - mentally also better but didnt notice a dramatic change

bought beer and whisky earlier so been havin wee drink 2nite

ah cool I'm 39 but was still out drinking into my early 30's

I've been off the beer too as have quit smoking for the e-cig

got a bottle of brandy in to keep me warm only mix a bit with a drink though

agree I don't really feel much better or healthier when I don't drink , but it's long term you'll notice it !

brandy very nice drink

i think just even limiting it to maybe once a week at home is quite reasonable then having a night out with mates once a month would be a good balance

as much as I love a night out I've always enjoyed drinking & smoking by myself , maybe just my depressive nature but isn't fun to do it all the time & just leads back to depression again

nothing wrong with enjoying your own company - im the exact same

its only recently ive learnt to accept this - nothin wrong with being a bit different to the norm mc

think i will be openin this whisky soon 

I quit drinking whisky after passing out flat on my face on a mates kitchen tiles in my early 20's

just the smell of it is enough for me now , but enjoy

In the end it will kill you prematurely.  You just have to calculate will the joys of the longer sober life exceed the thrills/spills/pain of the shorter drinking life.  I think I know the answer but the body has a mind of its own.  Oh no I don't.  Oh yes you do.  Come outside and say that.  See you, Jimmy ...

Good evening to you too bodil

as they say learn to be comfortable with yourself as you've got a hell of a long time to spend with him

unfortunately I haven't learned to master it yet ....

mc i sent a respone but doesnt seem to have worked

u drinking 2nite?


i know loads of folk who have smoked and drunk for so many years but are still going stromg

and others who have led healthy lifestyles with hardly any alcohol and not smoking and they got cancer and liver poisoning

you dont know what life going to throw at you

the birdie song

just a few brandy's with some of that real lemonade the cloudy type stuff & ice Pug , makes a change while cooking some food .

just looking at that new thriller on sky FORTITUDE , looks worth a watch

lovely mate enjoy

on youtube the now and usually just link it to my telly but listining through headfones so got it as loud as i want it

wide range of music taste love most stuff

enjoying a lot of old stuff these days -

Sarah Brightman - La Califfa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCBga6mK7C4

lovely tune

I'm meant to of quit the drink but it's true what you say you never know what's around the corner

I actually feel a bit less stressed next day as long as I don't overdo it , just wish I lived for the day more lately & not worry so much , but I do

Cheers

Like my headphones too

I've always quite fancied Sarah Brightman , great voice , must take some fine tuning that ...

no point worrying

im quite happy in general but needing to work out what im wanting to do career wise

being stuck in all day is not a good thing

and if you want to have money to do things then you need a job so thats my goal for the tim,e being

what music you into mc?

for me it all depends what i drink, i cut out gluten recently and if i drink stuff without it, guniness, cider etc i dont get them, if i drink lager they last for days

Having a job ain't all it's cracked up to be either though mate , it's tough either way
I've made my way own way for years , sat on my pc for 10 years & it's depressing the hell outta me , but would be tough to even find a job after not working so long , I don't even want the money so that's a bit of a problem

the trick is to balance everything imo , if you have time not working then use it wisely & enjoy yourself while you can

mate i enjoy the free time etc but had a good while enjoying myself

i want to be able to go out and enjoy myself without havin to worry about cash - so basically need a job to do that

the thing is what job am i wanting to do? I wish i knew - dont want to work in an office had enough of that

liam maybe best stickin to vodka as this is meant to be one of the best drinks to have if your trying to cut out all the bad stuff

Lads if you are at a loose end and have time on your hands, go and find some voluntary work, you'll be amazed how rewarding it can be just doing something simple for someone who is unable to do it for themself, a smile or simple thank you from someone less fortunate than yourself for your assistance, can raise your own spirits and self esteem remarkably quickly.

I have been volunteering for a number of years now and can honestly say it is the best decision I have made since I chose to leave the rat race, give it a go and see what you think, all you have to lose is a little time.

crork have seen a lot of your posts on horse forum and when you mentioned u do voluntary work it didnt come as much as a surprise

you strike me as a thoroughly decent individual

i was advised to maybe take up voluntury work - much respect for the folk that do

i just want to earn a decent wage not megabucks but dont know what i want to do

are you a man of the sixties gig?

My era was 90s golden age of music and drugs...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBShN8qT4lk

good lad gig ninetys was great era - i enjoyed the trance


another poster called ccmac introduced me to this tune

enjoy this - ben howard - conrad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYR6A47DK-Q

one of the best tunes ive listened to

Trying to give something back really pugmunter, been fortunate to date in life, with family, health and financially and whilst still in good health myself, feel I should use the time wisely to earn a few brownie points for when my time eventually comes...!

Over a week I'd say I probably do up to 30 hours, as an aside, you'd be surprised how many people you get to know and the amount of offers of work you receive through getting to know them and forging a bond of trust and in many cases friendship.

Best of luck with whatever you choose to do with yourself, hope you find fulfillment

I was always a Hip hop , Drum & Bass head in my younger days , 1990 was the Golden era as gig knows
I'm into all kinds of stuff but Ben Howard is probably my fav alternative album Pug , real nice tunes

thanks cork i will find my way soon - this year is my goal

There really are some good folk on here

you will get on well with ccmac mate he gave me a list of tunes including ben conrad - he is usually on footie forum

i also like his song - forgot where we were

incredible singer and those 2 songs are my favourites

People have often mentioned charity work to me Cork , but the world has never helped me at all (I know that's a bad attitude to have - but life has given me that bad attitude- if you can understand)
It's fair enough if you have all your bills , food , etc covered already & I really respect people that do , but I assume you're an older guy ?

Man up!

imo you should go for an outside job , something like bricklaying Pug , simple enough , meet some good lads & it pays a small fortune

king of dubai

those symptoms indicate - its either trapped wind or stress

King of Dubai    30 Jan 15 02:09 
Any of you on here get constant palpitations and stabbing pains in the abdomen?? i'm surely not old enough for this kind of things.

I Can identify with this. It usually happens when I wake up and realise that there's no alcohol in the house

Moony, you need a huge kick up the arse, even bigger than the one Father Ted gave to Bishop Brennan!

mc moonbeam u enjoy your telly i assume?

i have a brilliant series for you to download if so

I don't watch much at all really mate , so much stuff online instead but always struggle to find anything decent to watch

that new sky thing looks worth a watch though

Cheers mate i'll have to have a look

I love the really good stuff last thing I enjoyed was The Fall (also set in Dublin) so sounds cool
Can't beat a good series to get into like the Wire , Breaking Bad , but aren't that many of them around
