Title: How long does it take you to recover from a drinking session?
Post by: MoralMan on November 14, 2017, 11:45:32 AM
It seems to be taking me longer and longer. Went out Saturday evening until Sunday morning, few vodkas, beers and lines. Still feel ruined. Last time it took me a full week. Think its time to call it a day with all this!  :-[

I stopped all that shit a few years ago when I met my wife. I was getting wrecked every weekend. My body had about enough, toward the end it would take me until about Thursday to feel completely normal again. I'm glad those days are over one good thing about being married!!

I basically quit heavy drinking about 12 years ago,thank god.I started to feel like shit for a few days then a week.I drank around 5-7 beers a few months ago and felt like shit for days as well.If I drank like I used to today I bet it would take around 10-14 days to recover.Fuck that shit it’s not worth it.

Alcohol is awesome when you are with your really good friends and you want to have a good time and bond.

Don’t drink much now but when I do I’m generally fine the next day, when I still drank every weekend it was getting harder and harder to recover sometimes lasting two days hungover.

I used to buy the cheapest vodka the shop had thinking it didn’t matter as the end result was the same, stopping drinking that vile shit also lessened the hangovers significantly

Drinking with you mates definitely makes it loads better, part reason I stopped drinking very often was that drinking with the gf is fucking shit

Yeah I stopped binge drinking drinking in general when I got to the point of being able to drink 20 oz of vodka and some diet pop in 10 mins. After a bit, I used to get the classic 'feeling of impending doom' as a part of the hangover. Would make it seem as if my world were going to end and I'd get crippling anxiety, have panic attacks. I wouldn't feel normal for days despite all the cardio and working out I'd do in an attempt to feel better. I found foods with magnesium like walnuts or almonds seriously helped me with that feeling of freaking out.

Had lots of great times, but no thanks. Not anymore.

If we do like a FRI and SAT night of pretty good drinking, I'm hung over normally (if that makes any sense) on SUN, but then extremely anxious as hell on MON (like shaking) weird side effect that only recently started.
Thank god for GABA and Phenibut.
TUE at 5 AM back in the gym feeling normal. So when I do, do it, MON is the freakin' worst...

I was raised in an excessively alcoholic family and was drinking a lot by the age of 14 but by the time I was in HS ... I had had my full as the 'thrill" of being drunk and doing crazy drunken things was gone and over.

But all my friends were just beginning to enter the drunken underworld, so I became the somewhat sane and sober driver, care-giver, and bail bonds guy for every friend who puked on the sidewalks of San Francisco  every Friday and Saturday night during my 4 years  of  high school sobriety.

But one HS  Friday night I fell off the wagon and  fooked up every scene I was in ....  in one of those Frank Sinatra movies you've probably  never seen. (But I did manage to sorta impress Kim Novak who broke a smile but looked like she wanted to get a little buzz-on herself.)

That single smile managed to make her heavy make-up crack. But that's a story for another generation.

I suggest that you should all drink and get soused on occasion, but let a sober guy or gal do the driving  ...... and don't fook up movie scenes even though the other more experienced scene stealers are more fooked up than you are ...... but they are usually good enough to "act" otherwise and receive big awards/rewards for doing so.

Gonna grab a Rum and Coke right now ... but only one.

Hair of the dog usually worked for me in those younger years.

But an even better hang-over remedy was a long swim a few yards off-shore in the Pacific of San Francisco's Sunset neighborhood.

I don't think any living individual with a hang-over has ever spent more time on and in  that fog bound shoreline than myself.

Since moving to Colorado (cough, cough....)  the urge to drink has all but died. On the rare occassion that I partake - I pay for literally two days. In my twenties I could get drunk several times in a 24 hour period (oh the eighties!) with no lasting effect, I lost this ability in my thirties and fourties and now at 50 forget about it, when I drink about twice a year now, alcohol is nothing more than something to keep the dry mouth from all the weed away. LOL.

Plus, it takes way more balls for a sober baritone to launch into a straight faced rendition of Journey's "Faithfully" at Karaoke ........................ ...or stupidity , maybe even equal parts both.

Women only, no homo. 

Being young is bad enough, but with all the workouts I was doing, I was always extra horny.  Long before the internet I would call personal newspaper ads in the classified section.  Most women who posted ads just wanted someone to screw them.  After I had them, I'd moved on to the next one and so on, and so on... I rarely brought them back for a 2nd session.  Also, I was playing lead guitar in 2 local rock bands.  Pussy is very addictive when you have easy access to it... any getbig musician will attest to this.  I didn't keep a log, but I can honestly say I bedded over 200 women in my 20's and 30's.

There is pride in getting drunk?  That makes no sense.  

Keeping my wits about me 100% of the time is the reason why I'm semi-retired at 51 and only work 3 days a week simply to keep from getting bored.  

You'll need to work a shit job with low pay until the day you die.

stopped drinking as I never really drank, I just binged once a week or fortnight, stuffed my sleep pattern and stomach, enjoyed the next day on the couch eating crap. But stopped it recently as I realised it was counterproductive to everything else in my life, had plenty of good times and was a great stress release, but enough is enough happy with the healthy lifestyle choice for now.

I drank heavily for about 5 years.  Then one day it wasn't fun anymore.  It was hard to do my job in a hung over condition.  In addition to being an asshole while shit-faced.  In a moment of clarity one of the voices in my head said "alcohol is not making your life better in any conceivable way."  That was 2 1/2 years ago and I haven't had a drink since.

One Friday night session after week of work, takes a day to recover. You maybe fairly ok by evening.

Saturday, after a good nights sleep is already different. If you start early you can be back home early.
Heavy dinner and good sleep. Hung over but nothing major. Swimming etc.

From friday evening to sunday morning. Monday goes by like semi coma. Tuesday you feel bloated like a pig. Wednesday might be able to train.

Teens and early 20's was drink till I couldn't drink no more hitting the clubs. Next day wake up and do it again. Drinking heavy really destroys your nerves. Eventually it it destroys your body too.

I still over do it from time to time but normally I know when to shut it down to keep my health intact. I try to limit drinking to twice a week. You can be in shape and enjoy alcohol if you don't drink like you're a college idiot.  4 to 5 drinks and I can recover from that that. Any more then I'm hurting the next day. Ever see faces of meth?  I saw one called faces of alcohol where heavy drinkers gave up alcohol and it looked like they were 10 years younger.

Never drank, and don't do recreational drugs. I like  be in control of my senses as quite a bit of mad shit seems to always happen to me, and despite what ESFitness says, jail isn't all that. The mates I grew up with are practically all cokehead, semi-alcoholics but lads I'm friends with from the gym are different. The missus isn't a drinker either, which suits me
