So I just received a call from my local beer distributor. They have got my case of Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter in, that I ordered last week. And this beer is something I have wanted to try for a while. Which leads me to the topic of this thread.
If I know I am going to be drinking more than a few beers in a given sitting I will prepare myself. I do this by making sure that I am fully hydrated with a watered down sports drink. You do this by drinking liquids, other than beer, until your pee is a nice clear color. I also try to get a nice nutritious meal in my body containing lots of protein. The sports drink and protein containing meal will help fulfill your B-vitamin needs especially during some hard drinking. Lastly, I pop a multi-vitamins during the meal.
So after my little regiment I feel prepared physically for the effects of consuming a fair share of alcohol. This usually helps me limit my hangover the next day so I can be productive. After that I can usually drink a Red Bull, pop a multi-vitamin and get some water back in my body then go on with my day.
I think I developed this system back when I was more of a binge drinker in college. I knew I wanted to get wasted and party but had to be productive the next day so I would do what I could to help ease the hangover. At the time I was a certified fitness trainer, part time at a gym, so I had the background to know what alcohol actually does to the body and what causes a hangover.
After all of that, Does anyone else do this? If so what do you do?
Cheers. I will be enjoying some Edmund Fitzgerald porter, homebrew strawberry wheat and apfelwein.
