I myself have moved downmarket for both beer and bourbon now. Trying to drink less, it’s bad for you and expensive

    Yeah, I still binge when I do drink, and it’s such a gamble. I switched from high ABV beers to low ones and chug electrolytes in the evening before drinking and in the morning. That seems to help most of the time but seems like its becoming less effective… If only I were capable of actually listening to my body

      My friend who is in the medical profession swears by a multivitamin and two ibuprofen before bed. Works pretty well in my experience although I usually just do lots of water and a multivitamin

        Will be buying multis today to test this. Ibuprofen + alcohol regularly is terrible for your liver right? Or is that just aspirin?

            Acetaminophen/paracetamol is processed by the liver the same way alcohol is, so the combination kind of overwhelms it. Long term regular ibuprofen use is just bad for your kidneys

              Good to know! I always erred on the side of safety and skip the ibuprofen when trying to avoid a hangover. At least a half a gallon of water and the multivitamin seem to do the trick most times
