WHY DO HANGOVERS GET WORSE WITH AGE??? (Episode 207)

[@garrybuxton4483]

My hangover changed in my 40s suddenly I would wake up after just 2 hours of sleep and be awake all night,the next day I would be depressed and tired,the worst feeling of all was the guilt and shame. I don't miss any of that at all

[@gwillis01]

Cograts on embracing sobriety. Keep striving to improve yourself.

[@EdimentalGardens]

Same. They were the worst

[@threeofeight197]

I had the worst hangover of my life yesterday. Well. Maybe not the worst but. The worst in a while. Too much of a hangover for a responsible adult!!! I was in a weird mood and just didn’t pay attention, most of the time I do and cut myself off. Bleh. 🤢. I’m thinking of quitting entirely.

[@W8320T]

27 years old and I've been hospitalized for pancreatitis 7 times. 123 days sober today! I do not miss the misery of being an alcoholic. The first 2 months I struggled with euphoric recall. Fantasizing of the euphoria produced by alcohol, but now after doing some work on my spiritual life, I don't think of drinking much anymore. I'm getting a clearer image of how bad my drinking was, jnstead of fantasizing about the euphoric effects that only lasted in the first 8 drinks for me. After that it was just a sloshy, depressing night of me being isolated in my room alone. I'm actually living life and making memories and experiencing life and all of my senses in a way I've never experienced. I'm finally awake now and I have regained my place back into society.

Can I ask you do you know anyone that has gotten negative effects even from light to moderate drinking by the way? I’m trying to use this to convince others not to drink as well

[@tomlyon3273]

@@learningvideosbynikhil8308 for some people the liver is a weakness and can be affected even by regular processed and junk food, add to that some moderate alcohol consumption and yes it's definitely possible to cause fatty liver and if a person continues on that path it can progress to fibrosis. Iv just been diagnosed with mild to moderate fatty liver, now I am quitting alcohol for good.

We like to take cruises. My husband likes to drink on a cruise. At home, he doesn’t drink unless I do. Well, I quit drinking about a month ago. Day 32! So, on the next cruise, he has purchased the drink package. I’m not drinking anything that has alcohol in it. I’m done with it. I choose health!

[@gwillis01]

I have heard another YT content creator say that a person does not save money with the drinks package on a cruise unless they drink more than six servings a day.

[@Keep-on-ok]

@@gwillis01 The drink package covers water, speciality coffee, smoothies, fresh squeezed orange juice, etc. I drink a lot of water, still as well as carbonated so that’s covered too. But I hear ya! Totally not necessary for someone like me. But if one person in the cabin wants the drink package, you both have to get it. Those are the cruise line rules.

A bottle of port wine and some kind of cheap white wine. It doesn't bother me, but who on earth is going to want to come over and drink these random crappy beverages?

[@D4RKxHOR1ZoN]

I remember being hungover for what felt like a week lol. It's one of the reasons I had to slow down because it ruined the next couple days after. I ruined a vacation like that, I was on a week vacation and got blasted the first thing after landing and was sick for the rest of the week 😂. So stupid.

[@Just_me_1974]

My hangovers started lasting two days. So it was hangover then second hangover. But I don’t fully recover for like a week. I do have chronic health conditions and it definitely makes it worse.

[@DABKOP]

I was a heavy drinker and have struggled to quit. I was talking to my sister about being addicted despite increasingly feeling worse each morning after a night of light drinking. She said I need to learn to be addicted to feeling good. I woke up the next day and had no desire to have another drink. Instead of drinking in the evenings, i started swimming laps. Shortly after I quit drinking, your videos started popping up on my feed. I've never once searched Google or KZbin for anything related to alcohol or quitting drinking. I have no explanation for why your videos came into my life, but I am extremely grateful they did. I did not understand any of the things I was experiencing until watching your videos. I'm fortunate that for some reason, I have not had any cravings or withdrawals. My wife even asked me to take a sip of one of our beloved drinks shortly after I quit and I literally felt sick at the thought of it. I stopped keeping track so i cant say for certain how long its been. All i know is im never drinking again. Thank you so much for your guidance and expertise.

A switch was switched and thankfully through reverse mindset techniques my cravings are almost zero. Social pressure not a danger either.

The moment you start getting sober (like I will be at 44 after 20 plus years of alcohol), I would highly recommend ordering a CMP Blood Test which is $40 then get an appointment set up with Quest Diagnostics (or LabCorp, etc,) to have your blood draw within 2 weeks of your final bender. You'll know ur liver, metabolic, protein, blood sugar levels. Bare in mind they could be elevated after years of hard drinking. Then after 3 to 6 months its advisible to take the same test again to see if your levels inproved after 100 plus days of soberity. I hope its not too late to reverse the damage that I caused inside and out.

[@gwillis01]

The human body has an amazing ability to repair and rebuild itself if you are [ consistent ]. in not poisoning yourself any more.

[@ratmajat22]

One thing I realized was that the further into life I got, my hangovers slowly turned into withdrawals. I can probably go one night and not feel withdrawals, but if I go two nights in a row, my hangovers turn to chills, sweats and mild tremors

[@Rashers-]

I’m 30 days sobor today I just had enough I didn’t t get hangovers no matter how hard I went I be missing for days drugs and beer and come home a sleep I’m good to go I’m 37 years old my theory was if you think your hungover you will be most people are very weak mentally I’d be healthy aswell clean eating but once the beer and drugs came out I was a sesh gremlin…….i won’t be back to drinking or drugs I’m DONE and very thankful I attended meetings aswell they definitely helped and the power of a prayer 🙏
