No Alcohol Hangover with Certain Drugs

[Merkinsey]

I get no alcohol hangover with certain drugs, eg coke or Ritalin... well, I get eventually burned out from coke if I do enough, ie, I get exhausted and need to crash out longer than usual to recover but certainly no typical alcohol hangover for sure.

How about you and, I've always wondered, why is this?

Do you mean when you combine alcohol with those drugs?

 

[Merkinsey]

Right.

I think it'd just be the stimulation from the drugs and the subsequent comedown that just overcomes it. That said, i've had plenty of mean hangovers if I kept drinking after I stopped doing the stims..

Mixing alcohol with a low dose of diazepam/alprazolam helps me not drink too much and still reach the same effect, reducing next-day hangovers. Also, a bit of diazepam the day after drinking is fantastic for making you feel normal.

I don't think that any drug, if taken while drinking, will make you not develop a hangover. If there is, it's probably H2O - dehydration is usually a big factor in hangovers.

If I take a Xanax while drinking, I will feel totally fucked up the next morning. If I take the Xanax in the morning, it kills my hangover.
If I take methamphetamine or diazepam in the evening while drinking, they are STILL ACTIVE when you wake up, keeping your hangover at bay.

That's my theory, that generally gives you time in the morn to re-hydrate, get some food into yourself, and sometimes skip the hangover. But head for comedown.

I'm going to close this. There's no HR-content involved, and this is highly subjective at best.

You're not going to be able to take more drugs to hold off a hangover w/o accruing an additional comedown of some kind. You can only mask, not prevent. This can also end up being dangerous with certain drugs / drug combinations.

PM me with any queries.
