Drank 3 beers and 1 shot of whiskey last night like a law abiding citizen instead of smoking weed. Holy fucking shit hangovers are worse than I remember. Fuck everyone fighting to keep weed illegal. They’re all subhuman trash.

If you’re getting hung over you’re just consuming too much and/or not eating/hydrating enough after

acetaldehyde would like a word…

The Chemical Breakdown of Alcohol

Alcohol is metabolized by several processes or pathways. The most common of these pathways involves two enzymes—alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). These enzymes help break apart the alcohol molecule, making it possible to eliminate it from the body. First, ADH metabolizes alcohol to acetaldehyde, a highly toxic substance and known carcinogen.Then, acetaldehyde is further metabolized down to another, less active byproduct called acetate, which then is broken down into water and carbon dioxide for easy elimination

if you want to avoid the hangover take some L-Cysteine before you drink

I ate a bunch of food, drank a ton of water and used the bathroom like 10 times. I used to be a more hardcore alcoholic. I think my body just can’t handle as much booze anymore.

Same here. I cant stand the comments of people who won the genetic lottery or are just younger who teach me how I’m drinking wrong. When I was younger I could chug vodka with barely any hangover, after turning 30 two beers destroy the next day for me.

Mixing types of alcohol doesn’t do well either. Stay with one type and you are better off.

You probably just shouldn’t give out life advice about alcohol. Really, bad misinformation you’re giving out.
