Don’t do it. I could honestly stop the whole blog with that one statement I don’t even know where this came from even a little bit but I swear I saw it around one time so I figured I’d share my knowledge with everyone. It was a Saturday morning, hungover as per usual and thinking about an easy accessible “hangover cure” that I could get my hands on. As I’m thinking of what crazy thing I could try this time I realized I was hungry.. I swear somewhere I had read that a good greasy fast food meal would just absorb all the alcohol up in the stomach and the two bad’s would cancel each other out. I can assure you, this wasn’t the case.
I don’t know about you but even earlier today (this hangover adventure was a few days ago) I had a big mac and I swear to god I experienced a hangover just from the fast food.. Now, eating fast food definitely didn’t rid me of my hangover, in fact it gave me two. Have you ever experienced two hangovers at once? I didn’t think it was possible either but the immense pain I felt was pretty extreme. All I could picture in my mind on the way home was to get the hell in my bed and lay and focus on staying alive and breathing. Thank god it only lasted an hour or two and I distracted myself with some good old fashion two and a half men but it was not pleasant to say the least.
Little side story here, it may have been one of the worst hangovers of my life after eating it and feeling like my body was shutting down but there was one worse time. A few years ago hungover I felt like I was in a desert I was so dehydrated, it was a super hot day and I had a fantastic idea, let’s go get a Slurpee. Me and a few friends figured this was the greatest idea ever thought of by another human being and we went on our journey. Filling up those clear cups with delicious icy goodness, this was going to be amazing. It was the greatest tasting thing ever and we all finished in about 10 minutes, we didn’t know what we were getting ourselves in to. 20 minutes after this Slurpee I literally had a feeling of pretty much how a fever works, instant to your body you just feel super sick. I shook in my bed for a good 3 hours just trying to get through (this is now I know due to the fact alcohol already completely screws with your blood sugar and when you put in a full Slurpee full of sugar all at once it’s quite the sugar shock and it completely dominates your boday). I can’t even explain the feeling, I literally tried to tell everyone I knew about the story just so they didn’t go through what I did.
Moral of the post, fast food does not work during a hangover.. Though I will mention that during drinking it will give something to soak up and absorb some of the alcohol in your stomach for more of a balance in the morning, but after don’t do it. Stick to nutritious foods. Even more so than not eat fast food… Don’t drink a Slurpee, if you take one thing from this entire blog it’s that.. Just don’t do it, hurts so bad… Run.
