Yeah we did something on that in biology, the thing causing the hangover began with a c.

Also there's something in red bull which counteracts the effects of alcohol concerning hangovers.

My doctor told me to stay away from alcohol after finding out my liver is damaged, even told me to change my mouthwash to a non alcohol brand.

I think that's correct, it can also be found in other energy drinks as well, such as Boost.

Congener is the word your looking for. One of the worst ones is methanol.

Guinness anyone?

Re: I think I'm a robot....
 

Hmmm...I'd be a bit sceptical about that....unless you have been an alcoholic.....perhaps you should enquire further....

Re: I think I'm a robot....
 

The truth is, I haven't touched alcohol since, and when I did before, it was in moderation... I did have some real binging sessions about 25 or so years ago. but not that regular. and I also noticed a hint of surprise on the docs face when I told him I only drank the odd glass of red wine a few times a week.

My liver enzymes were real high and I have to have tests every 6 month or so.

Maybe it was down to those mad times I had when I was younger? I have had to change my lifestyle a little, I'll try not to touch the dreaded drink again.

honest ossifer! :drunk:

If that taurine stuff is meant to stop hangovers how come you can go out and drink vodka and red bull all night and wake up feeling rough?

Re: I think I'm a robot....
 

Probably 'cos the caffeine's made you twitch your way all over the house while you've been asleep :disturbd:

Re: I think I'm a robot....
 

As long as I drink the same type of drink and dont mix drinks, I think it works out better. Also taking water or a soft drink in between seems to help, and eating before going out.
Come the morning and you are fine.
