My pharmacist husband says that acetaminophen is mostly broken down in your liver, and if you’ve had too much to drink, your liver is already working overtime. So it’s better to take ibuprofen or aspirin.

To avoid a hangover altogether I like to pace myself by alternating one alcoholic drink and one glass of water. Usually this will give me a pleasant buzz but not a nasty drunk and no hangover.

That being said, hair of the dog really does work. You don’t have to drink enough to get drunk again, just one generously-mixed mimosa will do the trick, in my experience.

You know, this makes perfect sense and explains why I’ve tried to tell my husband that I feel hungover during allergy season.

The reason ibuprofen taken before bed works is that it is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Much of the headache pain in a hangover comes from swelling in the sinuses, and if it was a really major drunk, swelling of the dura mater, the tissue between the skull and the brain. Yes, you get brain swelling from getting really drunk.

Many hangovers come not from the alcohol, but from chemical contaminants in the alcohol. Sulfites in wine and fusels in beer are examples of common contaminants that can cause hangover-like symptoms that are actually a symptom of an allergic or poisoning reaction. If you frequently get hung over after not drinking much, there’s a good chance you are reacting to a contaminant. A little experimentation should show you what you need to avoid.

I am not a drinker by any stretch of the imagination. But, when I know I will be drinking I try to “Pre Hydrate” by drinking a lot of water the day of. Ditto on the water and ibuprofin before bed. My morning/afternoon after cure? Chicken McNuggets, French Fries, and a diet Coke. Mmmmm.

My best “drunken story”. Well, do you remember my class reunion? No? Well, neither do I. Any guesses on when I decided drinking was NOT for me?

Like Heather pointed out, “drunk” can cover a range from lightly buzzed to falling down trashed. My ideal is somewhere in the middle. If you get good at drinking you can get to the point of losing your inhibitions but still be in control, and not be hungover the next day. And all without being alcoholic. I make sure to drink a glass of water every 2 drinks or so, and to pace myself by starting off with a light sweet drink, then easing into heavier drink, and then switching to beer to slow down the rate of intoxication (or cutting myself off altogether depending on how the night goes). Water water water!

I rarely have hangovers using this method. And of course I only get drunk drunk on special occasions, usually it’s a light buzz.

Thanks so much for your input. It has put things in perspective. I, too, like to be in control. That I think is the main reason I don’t drink. I am not extremely social but not uncomfortable with the situation, just don’t like it too much. Thanks again for answering my question.
