Hangover

by

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance and Hunger. Every girl has had a really bad night out at some stage, maybe you’ve just broken up with someone and realised you are not quite as ‘over’ them as you think, maybe you had one to many Jägerbombs, or perhaps you were just fighting with the girlies. Whatever it was these are the 7 stages you will go through the morning after the night before. Ugh.

1. Denial

So after you’ve woken up all the memories from last night come rushing back. There is no way you peed outside, or flirted with the bouncer. No no no. Those things didn’t  happen. This is your denial stage – where deep down you know you did all those things but your not quite awake enough to accept your own stupidity.

2. Hunger

Spicy Chicken, mayo, tomato, cheese, and lots of sauce.

Deal with your denial with a chicken fillet roll. Hangover day is the only day its okay to queue for your breakfast in Centra. You feel a bit dirty after that. But dirty in the good way. Now that you’ve got a bit of food in you its time to deal with the rest of the stages.

 

3. The Facebook stage

Ahh Facebook, you’ll be my friend- show me that everything isn’t as bad as I think it is. You have your chat turned off because you don’t want people to know how long you spend on it. Time to stalk the crap out of the guy you shifted last night and wonder if everyone else’s night was way better then yours. It was. Goddammit.

4. Anger

Why did you even go out last night. You’re already doing less then average in college and now you have absolutely nothing done for the week ahead. It wasn’t even worth going out, that lad you shifted wasn’t even that good looking. You let yourself down and its all your own fault. Anger is the worst part- Its where you ring your friends to rant but nobody really cares.

5. Bargaining

Maybe it all wasn’t so bad… he wasn’t that bad – like the shift was kind of nice. And when you see him in college he’ll most likely have forgotten all the ridiculous things you said. You’ll make up with her eventually – like when you called her a skanky hoe she knows you probably didn’t even mean it.

6. Depression

This is the worst stage. Not only do you regret what you did last night but you start to ponder life all your life choices. Why did you pick your degree? Will you get a job or end up moving to Australia? You don’t even like Australia. You’ll miss your mum. They might not have chicken fillet rolls there. You’ll probably never have a decent relationship. Or any relationship for that matter. Who would ever go out with you? Depression is the worst stage. But its only up from here.

7. Acceptance

Its evening by the time you reach this stage. You’ve stuffed yourself and can only feel so bad. A fresh week. Exercise, lectures, no drinking, healthy eating and early to bed.

Did you know that a lot of Eastern Europeans take a spoonful of oil before drinking? Apparently it guards against a killer hangover.

But, if you want to avoid the dreaded hangover after Paddy’s Day (or any day for that matter), there are less extreme ways of doing so – none of which involve taking a shot of olive oil.

According to the co-author of The Secret To Skinny and The Nutrition Twins, incorporating heart-healthy good fats, like nuts and avocados into your pre-party-time meal is the way forward.

Avocados are particularly good because they contain high levels of potassium. This means you’re getting a head start on replacing the potassium lost during alcohol consumption.

Eating heavy meals might mean it takes you longer to feel the effects of alcohol, but it also gives your body extra time to process the drink’s by products, increasing your chances of dodging that hangover in the morning.

So remember, always eat healthy fats before you drink.

We’ve all been there before, waking up with a hangover from hell and claiming that we will never drink again, only to be in the same boat the week after. And it looks like we’re not about to change.

According to recent research, hangovers neither deter you from drinking nor encourage you to drink more. In fact, the hair of the dog is not as popular as it may seem.

The research analysed the drinking habits of 386 young people who each had to complete a three week drink diary. This resulted in 2,276 drinking episodes and 463 hangovers.

Thomas Piasecki, lead author of the study said: “Drinkers do not seem to be bothered that much by the temporary discomfort of a hangover, since it does not get them to delay their drinking in any meaningful way, and since other studies show that young drinkers often perceive hangovers to be neutral or positive experiences.”

He went on to add: “Experiencing frequent hangovers is a warning sign that should probably prompt you to reflect upon your drinking”.

If you were out last night and are now feeling the pain, you’ll appreciate our advice on how to beat the dreaded hangover.

Before you get your hopes up though, you should know that there are no magical cures for the heavy head and queasy stomach; however, eating certain foods will help you survive the day.

  • Start by having a few berries or a handful of nuts. These will help your body reduce the inflammatory response to your alcohol consumption.
  • If your stomach is feeling a bit dodgy try having a ginger tea or a smoothie with fresh ginger. This should help to ease off your nausea.
  • Don’t forget to keep hydrated. Sip on some water or juice. An electrolyte sachet is also a good way to restore your body.
  • Try lifting yourself out of bed or off the couch and go for a walk or a jog. While this may be the last thing on your mind right now, exercising will help your body remove the toxins of the night before and you’ll feel so much better afterwards.

Best of luck!
