    It was great beer and wine last night but you still can’t escape the beer/wine hangover.

    I have to thank the kids for getting sick at the same time so we can have a cosy day inside

      Wine hangovers are shocking. Getting up with a hangover to wrangle children is why I didn’t drink for 13 years. I’m making up for lost time now.

        I think it’s because of the sugar in wine, I find white wine to be more severe than red personally. It’s different to a beer hangover for sure.

        Spirits hangovers are also their own distinct thing too.

          I knew it was going to be bad because we eked up having so much, but it was a good night out.

          It’s interesting how different alcohol hits, because I can have 2 litres of beer from the growler and be fine, but that’s fresh beer straight from a brewery, no added sugar and preservative free

          It’s red that does me in. Histamines, sinus hell etc. Delicious, but no thank you (unless somebody want to make the three day coq au vin recipe I’ve always wanted to try)

            That’s what I’ve heard at least, and it makes sense. The body needs water to process alcohol, as well as sugar and the other preservatives, so it’s a more severe hangover as the body tries to process and get rid of it.

            Hydration is key. Glass of wine, glass of water, rinse and repeat. I’ve also heard to avoid a severe hangover to drink those hydralyte sachets before going out. I’ve never tried it, but my alcoholic mates swear by it 😂

        We’re very lucky it’s a slow day for everyone. Otherwise we would have been straight up to go to swimming this morning
