Bring on New Years 2012!

   Remember being a teenager and being able to drink anything in sight and hold your liquor without the repercussions of a hangover? I remember...ah the good old days. Now I can't drink a half a glass of wine without making sure I take 2 Advil and drink a giant glass of water before going to bed just to prevent the headache that would follow.

   I've heard that it's the sugar content or mixing your booze can cause it and if that's the case so much for the long Island Iced Tea's and Alabama Slammers ( Soooo Goood ).

   There are a few different hang over types that you can encounter. Why am I talking about the hangover today? Well one of my fave holidays is around the corner! New Years Eve! Out with the old, in with the new and all that jazz. So I looked around and found out what are the most common hangovers. I took special interest in #4 because that's the one I had after our work Christmas party last weekend.

The Delayed Hangover
This is one of the worst hangovers ever.  You drank your water the night before.  You wake up the next morning feeling right as rain.   You’re thinking this is gonna be a good day and you dodged a hangover.  Nope.  Wait until the afternoon.  It takes about 5-7 hrs but eventually it hits you like a freight train.

The Near Death Feeling Hangover
These are the ones where you literally feel like you might die.  You’re checking your pulse.  Your head hurts so bad that it simply doesn’t make sense.     

The Red Ass Hangover
This is the hangover that isn’t that horrible as far as its effects on your head and the way you feel.  But this is the hangover as a result of the wrong booze.  This is the one that makes your ass feel very painful and keeps you in the bathroom.   Probably one of the worst feelings ever.

The Still Drunk Hangover
You kind of like this hangover because you’re still drunk.  However, this is just a variation on the delayed hangover.   On this type of hangover you have kind of a double hangover because the real hangover is around the corner once you’re sober.

The Don’t Look Down Hangover
For some reason there are those hangovers where you really shouldn’t look down.  I call these dizzy hangovers.  They are the kind where if you move your head in the slightest direction you’ll get dizzy.  These are brutal.
  

I rank about 3 of the 5 here ( Delayed, Near Death and Still Drunk ) and personally never want to have issue #3...ever. I've had a Still Drunk that turned into a Delayed then over to a Near Death lasting about 2 days overall which is all still better in my mind than a #3.

Hmmm it's like a 3-way hangover!

Next we'll investigate weird hangover cures that should be fun.
