the simplest anti-hangover regimen.
“we’re drunks, not alcoholics. alcoholics are quitters.” thats a running joke in my family. at least it was what they said when i commented on their drinking habits growing up. now that i am grown (and several years past being legal), i get why they were drinking so often. life is stressful… as hell.
need not fear: though i don’t have the solution for life, i do have a recipe for limiting the consequences indulging in the devil’s juice.
one of my biggest pet peeves when i am out celebrating with somebody, i remind them to stay hydrated, and somebody else them talks over me, encourage them not to. to get trashed. so what if they pass out or black out. that’s what’s supposed to happen.
um, excuse me … that how people dies. so no, i will never encourage that type of thinking bc i actually care about myself and those around me.
Olivier’s drunken tips and tricks
drink a glass of water for every 2-3 drinks: its important to dilute the alcohol in your system. yes, you will break the seal, but you will wake up feeling better when alcohol is not the only thing in your system.
don’t have more than 2 drinks without food in your system: listen, if you want the liquor to hit, drink it on a empty stomach, but if that is the only thing in your system and you keep throwing them back … that is the quickest way to end up with your face in the toilet.
break the seal: i mentioned this before, but its super important. alcohol serves no purpose in your body. you have to pee because you’re peeing out the liquor. get it out of your system so it doesn’t wreak any more havoc.
most importantly, keep eye on your drink and surround yourself with people you trust: there is nothing better than bar hopping and knowing that you don’t have to worry about your purse and key’s because somebody gotchu. now, if someone hasn’t made it explicitly known that they are willing to take care of you, drink responsibly, but if you plan on getting trashed, have a buddy. preferably, a relatively sober one.
i was invited out by a friend a month ago and her boyfriend kept buying us drinks and i kept throwing them back bc why not. i had to get carried into their condo that night lol woke up at 5 AM in the morning alert and ready to go to my 7 AM shift, all because i made the effort to take care of myself.
