alcohol
does anyone else do this cool thing where you wake up early after you drinkI used to never have any effects from drinking, Then by my 30s I started waking up early with full day hangovers. Learn to drink water before you sleep.. don't drink on an empty stomach.
i drank on an empty stomach and drank water and i still feel bad... give me more tips and tricks
Always eat sonething even if it is something light, start trying to drink a glass or more of water once you stop drinking, if you eat later have water with it and if you take some pain relief (ibuprofen or something similar) it should help prevent a killer hangover. Don't over eat though before you sleep and always sleep on your side.
i did all that! actually i may have overeaten. i'll work on the ibuprofen. thank you for your advice
It can be tough, the pain killers and water before bed is usually what prevents the worst. You're welcome c:
If you wake up feeling sickly, heavy (and still a bit groggy) Get a cup of strong tea and have something greasy to eat, it can help (reheated pizza, fried bread) usually helps a ton funnily enough Trying to get it down with a hangover can be hard though..
i'm making grease right now... about to drink a cup or two
yum yum
i have some left over... would you like a sip
I'm not one to refuse a drink
just make sure you take an ibuprofen beforehand!
the new alcohol guide in the drugs comm recommends antihistamines, B12, magnesium, and ORS (oral rehydration solution)
Yeah, I usually go back to sleep after taking a shower and being awake a few hours though
i wish i could...
you too? why do i do this to myself?
It usually makes me eep a lot, I thought it was one of the benefits
i wish. it just makes me very cool and sociable and then the complete opposite the next day
resisting the urge to use it as a treatment for anxiety
so you're telling me there's a drug that makes me cool and normal? and all i have to do is sleep a bunch the next day? why hasn't anyone thought of just doing that all the time?
Wow do I have some very cool people for you to meet.
i already met them yesterday :)
Been there, done that, seems great briefly then abruptly ends up awful when you want to quit and realize your tolerance has built up to some physical chemical dependency and you feel like when SpongeBob got the suds, would not recommend
Yeah I don't, it's tempting but I have seen the ruinous effects waaay too often to ever really do it
CW addiction/booze stuff
spoiler
Being briefly Mx. Lahey "right in the slot" 0.12 can be a good time for awhile but using booze as an anxiety treatment is a bad time, especially when "does anyone suspect that I've been drinking?" is also something you get anxious about lmaoBad feedback loop Never really got sloppy wasted around other people or made any dangerous bad decisions thankfully but yeah that's definitely a slippery slope you don't wanna go down
Promise not to, swear it on me mum
Good
I have a prescription for Gabapentin I need to get actually, I am tryna treat the anxiety fr :)
I know it sounds like a "um sweaty have u tried yoga?"-ass suggestion too, but strenuous exercise really helps me dial down the flighty/anxious impulses I get too
Granted I was a weirdo gymrat type for awhile and got into "make number go up" one rep max increases and that might be at odds with the kind of bodytype you want but HIIT cardio and isometrics can be good for that too
Probably the calmest I've ever been mentally was after "damn I hope I can still walk to my car and drive home because my legs are complete jelly now" leg days, those endorphins are something
Naw it's a good suggestion, I have a bike and as a youngun I did a lot of jogging and biking and stuff. I've been meaning to get a rowing machine or small weights anyhow.
....sadly my body is degrading very fast, I am weak and ailing so a lot of that I'll have to start small and might be a bad idea anyway.
I wouldn't mind some muscle definition, being able to lift your wife is fuckin awesome for example. And post workout high is great, I do miss it ngl...
That's why I do it regularly
alcohol abuse
yeah, it works. but, then you're drinking gin and tonics every day at 4pm after work convincing yourself it's normal and ok actually. trust meI'm now thankfully
It doesn't seem worth it ultimately, thankfully. Thus far I've been good at not relying on substances.
i h8 h8 h8 it
i'm gonna start nationwide protests to ban hangovers and waking up early. are you with me
don't think nationwide's gonna be enough
