Yeah, I see their point. I drink a ton, and have never had a hangover.
That's because all I drink is water

Water is so fucking good
Techbros will hear this and go "hell yeah, wanna sell me some of that young blood?"
They're ruining their adrenochrome, we need to raise the drinking age to preserve the quality of the harvest.
does anyone ever say to you, 'sweet summer child'?
I stopped getting hangovers mostly when I started taking a b vitamin (all the B vitamins) before going to bed when I knew i drank too much
Now i stopped getting hangovers because i don't drink anymore, THANKS LEGAL THC DRINKS
But based on the efficacy of b vitamins i think a big component of hangovers is a result of having pissed all of them out
The legal THC drinks have been a great replacement for alcohol. I’ve begun to worry about the future of them tho seeing as how the US government is still trying to destroy hemp.
Unless something changed they're trying to ban them again by November. So Im going to buy like 5 years worth of thc gummies from a bulk distributor and freeze them lol
That’s a great idea! I’m in a state where recreational weed is legal (for now), but would do the same.
it also depletes magnesium!
Just make sure you you're drinking fluids to replace all that you're pissing out and stay away from wine, I still rarely get any repercussions.
I drink a full glass of water with any alcoholic drink. I pee like a ton, but that's an excuse to leave convos I don't wanna be around too or just mingle more around other people instead of being stuck. Also let's me walk around instead of just sitting the whole time. If people say "you keep leaving to go to the bathroom" I can also be perfectly honest about why and they just say "oh that's kinda smart"

"Sorry I peed myself I'll be right back"
Don't apologize, just explain that peeing yourself is better than hangovers

Don’t really drink any more but the wine thing is so true. Regret it every time I go “It’ll be fine this time!” and am catatonic in the morning.
Im the opposite. I never get hung over off of wine. Beer fucks me up tho, like it doesnt even get me drunk it just makes me feel like shit
Conversation between a barbarian and a Roman
I learned recently thst when you drink, it drastically reduces your vitamin levels, especially magnesium and b vitamins.
In my early 20s I could put away beer like no tomorrow and be at work the next morning. All I'd need was a multivitamin and a big ass bottle of water and I was good.
Then in my 30s, one or two beers would give me a headache and I'd feel like crap several hours later. Then again at that point I drank maybe once a month, if even that.
Yeah I aged out of drinking by the time I hit rehab. I binged for almost 5 or 6 years and had to check myself in, that was the first time. Then in my mid 30's I relapsed and started drinking again, which lead to rehab 2. By my second stint I was fully over alcohol, I could barely ever keep the stuff down and the next day I wanted to die.
Ah, youth.
I maybe had 1 single hangover in my life despite me getting blackout drunk a couple of times. That was all during teenage days and my early 20s though.
I dont really drink like that these days anymore though. I just stop after 2 drinks.
"Sweet summer child" comes from game of thrones and I am sick of hearing it said unironically in public. It makes no sense outside of game of thrones. It is such a Reddit phrase. "Oh but banme actually it shows up-" it has been used in literature about 2 times before game of thrones and neither of those times with the meaning it has in public use and of course not! Because it doesn't make sense outside of game of thrones.
Might as well be out here exclaiming Excelsior or Bazinga
on one hand yeah but on the other it's one of the most basic 'human consuming art' things in the world, to take a phrase or an idea from the art and bring it with you into your day-to-day. 'sweet summer child' presumably took off because it's immediately digestible even without the context of game of thrones, despite the literal meaning depending on that worlds fantasy elements
doesn't mean it can't be annoying or cringe to you but it should be expected
Yeah it is very normal for people to do it and it makes sense and all that. I find it annoying still, mainly because
- Redditism
- People insist it's not from GoT
It would be like if "may the odds be ever in your favor" became a thing people just said
You really bazingaed with this comment.
I totally cowabungaed. turtle power. holds three fingers up and whistles that thing from the hunger games may the odds be ever in your favor
Pretty sure my grandma and mother said it often before got but im just a ssc or sweet summer child as it were.

I feel like it's perfectly sensible on its own. Summer is childike, you think it's gonna be warm and bright forever, and winter is harsh reality that you become accustomed to with age. There are plenty more inane phrases that we treat as normal

I've never seen GoT, didn't know it was from GoT, and it made perfect sense to me from the get-go. I will continue to say it and frankly you just sound like you're whining lmao
I am whining! I am whining about the phrase being used because it annoys me, that is what whining is. There's this weird cultural obsession with not having emotional reactions, to which I do not subscribe. The whole "oho you seem to care about something? What a loser!" Seems deeply toxic to me. Even when it's about pointless bs like this. It's a common trick used to belittle others, and thankfully it's against hexbears code of conduct now.
worse, it's a redditism
Where do you think reddit got it from?
i was just talking to my doc yesterday about how hangovers changed wildly between ages 29 and 39+
i just straight up quit drinking at a certain point. not even like a "i gotta stop this", just viscerally averse to even wanting a drink. the notion of making mornings more difficult becomes absurd, and i used to have a whole system of hydration and electrolyte replacement. shit like that just breaks down as one ages.
eventually the only actual tactic is to hook up to an IV in the morning. i know people who do that. healthcare workers with access, obviously. and, frankly, if your recreational drug use has you playing with needles, you can't pretend like it's casual anymore.
The first time I drank, was when I was 19. I drank like 4 12oz whiteclaws and actually got hella hungover from that. I was never built to be an alcoholic.
I only take kratom these days and even I get a little hungover from it sometimes despite staying hydrated
I'm pretty sure it mainly comes down to either youth or hydration or a combination of both. I remember getting absolutely hammered in my 20's and having the worst hangover so far, but I had been drinking with the explicit purpose of getting fucked the hell up. Still went into work and found ice water and beef jerky to be my go to that day. Gatorade, water, and fattier protein foods would've also been a life saver imo. So either they're well hydrated and didn't know it or they simply haven't drank enough jäger, bacardi 151, everclear, and fireball yet...
Hydration isn't actually the biggest factor. When you drink, your liver metabolizes alcohol into acetaldehyde, which is toxic. Hydration helps simply because being more hydrated makes poisons more tolerable, but dehydration isn't the cause of a hangover.

Hyrdration, and youth, play a big role, but it's more than that. There are subtances in the alcohol that also contributes to hangovers. Like byproducts of their fermenting, and I think they vary by what you are drinking.
drink more lol
daily binge drinking helped me stave off hangovers. never took the hair of the dog or got the shakes or anything. I just drank each night like it was my job. first two or three nights can be bad, but after that I could go for 12 drinks
the character development arc is gonna be epic on this one
