we're currently in the neurology block of med school, and all the stuff I've learned about what alcohol does to your brain when you binge drink is really freaky. Based on what your describing, you've done a severe enough amount of damage to your brain that your memory is impaired...basically damaging your ability to form long term memory. My advice to you would be to not binge drink anymore (meaning it's alright to have a few drinks, but keep yourself from getting close to the point where you don't remember shit), otherwise your memory impairment and brain damage is gonna be more severe. The worst part is that neurons in your brain, once dead, can't be regenerated so the damage is irreversible.

I'm not trying to scare you because quite frankly, all of this info I'm learning was quite eye-opening to me, and I'm pretty surprised that this angle of binge-drinking isn't covered more by the media/etc. since almost all of my friends binge-drink to an extent and I never really hear discussion of alcohol and brain damage.

pedialyte all the flavors taste like ass but i would say the grape is the best one out of the bunch. Its designed to rehydrate children and infants in hurry. I you need to take it before you start drinking in order for it to work.You can find it in any grocery store in the infant section.

other thing i do is if im pre drinking with friends and im drinking vodka i'll take a swig of vodka and have a sip of Gatorade afterwards. By the time im done the vodka there is usually half the bottle of Gatorade left and i leave that alone until its time to pass out.

My dad gave me that once when I was sick, I had one swig and puked everywhere. It was nasty.

I'm surprised nobody has said ALOE JUICE!

Drink a glass of it before you start drinking an you're golden. I drink water regularly and gatorade but Aloe Juice really helps. Tastes kinda gross, but it works!

Another one I forgot isn't a way to avoid, but instantly cure a hangover.

Honestly a joint, not even. One hoot of weed and I feel ready to go again.

pedialyte does a good job, but it gives me crazy heart burn

The only shitty thing for Kobe is that he's in Poland. It's pretty hard to find weed down there.

Just got back from 4 days in Las Vegas, here's the program I was on.
- Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 before heading out.
- 5 hour energy early in the night (vitamins and stuff)
- During the party, Food and a couple waters.
- Before bed, - Vitamin D and B12 pills, multi-vitamin, 2 aspirin, and 1 L of gatorade.
- when you wake up, 1L gatorade, 2 more aspirin, and food.

Not going to say i had no hangover at all on this trip, but I was drunk every night, and at least partially functional every day. This so far is the best system I've found.
Have heard good things about eating a banana in the morning, but i didn't have access to fresh fruit.

So I've found the cure for hangovers, I was actually reading online today and you shouldn't drink Advil with alcohol, but fuck it it works soooooo well and you live once..




2 ADVIL BEFORE BED IS THE CURE TO NO HANGOVERS!!

Mixing Advil with alcohol isn't bad, it's Tylenol, or anything with acetaminophen in it that you have to avoid...


Advil before bed when drinking will stop the hangover for maybe 10-30 times before you get used to it. It worked great for me when I discovered it, but it stopped working after a while. Now I need to take advil to have a normal hangover, vs. a horrible one if I don't take it...

Another trick is stay up super late and drink tons of water. Let's say the drinking is done at 2a.m., drink a bottle of water, wait 30 minutes, do it again, wait 30, do it again... Keep rocking that till 5am... make sure you piss as much as you can too... This worked for me 10-20 times until now it doesn't do much...


For me right now, none of the tricks work, I just focus on minimizing hangovers... Eat 3 healthy (filling) meals a day up to when you drink, make sure you're getting proper sleep. And avoid stuff like jager. That's what I do, it's all I can do, haha

I've actually been doing it for 6 months now if not longer.. It has cured more then 100 hangovers IMO

Sometimes I just don't get enough sleep, I was always told Advil wasnt bad to take with alcohol, but I was reading online and people said otherwise.. Either way Advil FTW

I can highly recommend a banana or two as well. The potassium does wonders. Mix that with some water, vitamin B, and a couple advil and you'll be good to go. Of course half the fight is mental, if I'm drinking saturday I don't care how hung over I'm not sunday, I won't be leaving that couch.

And of course hydrate beforehand. Drink as much water all day, avoid coffee, eat full balanced meals with a good dose of bread, etc.

I posted it earlier, but I chuckle to the people I was talking to on vacation this year. People have no problems popping every drug on the counter to try and find a cure, some with damaging effects mixed with liquor.

But then weed? Woah, can't do that. When it's the miracle cure you are all looking for. It works wonders. How do you think I snowboard every year on New Years Day?

But you're next option is if you don't get sober, you can't get hung over. Crack another beer.

My buddy house boating was taking percocet on the boat for hang overs. I offered him weed and he says, "No thanks, I don't do drugs."

[thrasher22]

What ever happened to sticking to beer?

I also find that having a big munch-fest when you get home makes a big difference. A big pot of KD is a win-win at 2am after the bar

[ercchry]

im not reading all this... but vitamin B15 is the miracle cure

Oh, by all means man, keep doing it until it don't work anymore... Just keep in mind, eventually it will stop working! hahaha

I'm not saying I'm an alcoholic, but I used to entertain clients lots... During the boom, I was out every evening, or every second evening late late late, and up at 5:00AM the next morning for work... It was rediculas...
