Last night was another rough night. I felt that would be the best line to start off the field report seeing as how I don’t remember much and consumed a lethal amount of vodka. Of course though, as always it was a good night, it’s never a night wasted when you’re getting wasted. The last thing I remember is playing beer pong, one of my many talents that revolve around drinking. That was around 11pm.. People tell me I went to bed around 3am so God only knows what happened in that time. But that’s not really what the point of this post is about, that’s just me realizing that I now have 4 more unaccounted hours in my life haha.
But down to the point, I woke up around 1130am in a drunken daze wondering what happened last night and who was still left in the house. Felt pretty drunk still and new a raging hangover was going to destroy my life pretty soon. I didn’t drink any water laser night (which usually at least helps somewhat) so I had to think fast back on my research on how to avoid a hangover, I came up with one thing that was still possible and effective in the morning. I walked downstairs saw a few people awake also in a drunken haze and then I saw it, a beautiful half full smirnoff bottle in all it’s glory. I new this would be the perfect chance to do a full field report on the forever old hangover reliever that my dad always talked about – the hair of the dog.
I turned on some music, grabbed 3 shot glasses and started pouring. Whether they liked it or not the 2 stragglers that stayed the night were now my drinking companions. Seeing as how they were also still pretty drunk they weren’t too reluctant, besides I figured it was doing them a favor if it did have any real hangover benefits. So we began pounding the shots, I didn’t want to drink too much as to have another hangover off the morning shots but I did figure it could have a place in the “how to avoid a hangover” guide. My logic was simply that well I hit my hangover and the alcohol from the night before was going through my system the new alcohol (only a limited amount) would hit me at that time and make it so I didn’t feel all the negative effects from the first hangover while later giving me a very minor hangover from the shots I drank in the morning. Plus I forgot to mention what may be one of the more important methods to add with this that truly may help in the how to avoid a hangover study.
As I mentioned previously the night before I didn’t really drink any water and by pure facts alone it will help to some degree. So what you need to do is drink water while doing these morning shots (I consumed about 6 glasses this morning in the 3 hour period I spaced out the shots). This and because I was super exhausted from the night before still I decided a nap couldn’t hurt and I could report the results. After my nap I felt a little more refreshed, I figured the water, with the new alcohol allowing me to get tired and have an undisturbed sleep while the main hangover that I was trying to avoid was passing. I did a few things today to see if it had any help on how to avoid a hangover. I didn’t experience the normal monster hangover I would though the method clearly isn’t the best as it may have avoided the suffering but it still took a nice chunk out of my day. All in all I will say it was a fairly successful trial for one of the first runs in the how to avoid a hangover game. Try it out for yourself and check the results. Right now it’s the top hangover preventative by default of course but the top right now none the less.
