Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[Emil Miller]

Last Night I had ONE Heineken and this morning....splitting headache.
It wasn't even very nice, definately not worth it.

I never get that with Newcastle Brown, or Caffrey's..

Whatever the virtues of newkie may be, don't you think this is carrying things a little too far?

Might I interest anyone in some Barako coffee? I believe coffee relieves hangovers?

Are there less preservatives in Newcastle Brown, or Caffrey's? I've noticed that when I drink local beer I have less if any hangover.

Lucky for me I don't any longer drink to where I have a hangover. I've learned something in my old age.

A hangover? Well, I don't recommend drinking to one is drunk, especially for women. Lots of bad things can happen, besides it being unhealthy. And a hangover is horrible.

Ok! I'll remember that whenever I get one!

and about three aspirin works for me.

Ooh, that's tough on your stomach. Three regular aspirins or three baby aspirins? Plus that really thins your blood. Don't get cut or bang yourself.

kilted is right. Coca Cola in particular works well even if you don't want to eat or drink anything. It's been awhile since I've had a hangover, but I've had a few doozies in my day.
If you drink a lot of water while you're drinking or if you load up on vitamins (B12 I think is the one to go for), that should help prevent it. Oh and if you feel like you need to puke while drinking, go for it. Better to get it out the night before rather than the morning after.
Oh, and always remember: Liquor before beer, you're in the clear; Beer before liquor, you've never been sicker.
Basically, if you're going to drink both hard alcohol and beer, drink the hard alcohol first.
Bad hangovers are the worst thing ever. Especially if you have to go to work.
It's been years since I've partied. In the past 2 years, I rarely drink. And I almost NEVER drink to get drunk. And I don't entirely miss it. Hard (headache filled) lessons have been learned before I was legally old enough to drink. But I have fond memories nonetheless...few responsibilities and a lot of great friends

Yes it's subtle but one can taste. Sam Adams has a cranberry wheat beer that is out of this world. I couldn't find it so I got the blackberry. It's not quite as good as the cranberry wheat, but close.

What stores sell it?

I've had many a hangover and coke is definitely a good curer... but only if you dont guzzle it down really really quickly... do that and suffer th consequences! Athough sometimes the best thing the day after the night before is a big fry up!
two things i learned from somewhere... it you are about to go out for a few drinks, apparently havign a yogurt or/ and a banana before you go out is supposed to ease the alcohol intake and the affect on your tummy.
