You mean if the braai was on Sunday?

For me I'll feel schitt the entire following day.

Lol.. i wish.
If the braai is on a Friday and i don't drink on Saturday i'l only recover by Thuesday.
If i have a couple more on Saturday it's only around Wednesday...
I don't drink on a Sunday at all.

Is that Thursday or Tuesday? If I have a hard go at it, two days. Otherwise, one day.

Drink Vital Liver Rescue before you go to bed, and one again after breakfast the next mornin. You will feel tops in no time. One before you start dopping also helps.

bout half a day, if I drink lots of water. That's for physical effects.

Emotional effects may last longer.

Liewe moses,
And here everyone laughs at my 2 day babelas...lol
Also, if i drink on Saturday, i feel like death on Sunday, feel fragile on Monday, and feel okayish on Tuesday, that’s why i prefer drinking on Fridays, then i don’t feel like sh#t on Mondays.

Don't get hangovers, never have ........ I'll just midnight snack and pass out and that will be the end of it

Well then i suspect you always feel like sh#t....:D

Like the Hulk's secret to not getting mad...

The secret is in the eating before sleep, seriously. And the water, as Haldex mentioned. Sorted if you do those 2 things, every time ;)

I only get hangovers if I drink on an empty stomach and don't eat before I go to bed. Or, if I drink cheap spirits.

Last week I had 4 quarts then had 5 or 6 double Jack Tars. I was pretty useless the next day.

Edit: on an empty stomach, I should add.

Ja, if i only drink 6 beers,
You guys dont really drink do you?, do you even lift bro? :)

If I don't start on an empty stomach or drink cheap ****, I'll manage a ****load of food and water no matter how much I've had. And, yes, I drink.

Wuss. :p

Wait, I thought Haldex was a bacophobe, meaning also a boozaphobe, on account of religion? Or does he pick and choose his tenets or do I have it wrong?

I think you guys are playing with your booze...

I have tried all the different tricks, drinking KGB before, during and after, Essentials, 1liter water with 5 table spoons sugar and 1 salt, eating beforehand, eating afterwards, drinking disprin/grandpa/mybulen before going to bed...., i have tried everything....each time i wake up with a mother farker of a hangover (not really a headache, more of a feel like crap feeling)
The only sort of effective technique i have found is to not smoke while drinking (which is basically impossible)

How much do you guys drink to feel like that? What are the symptoms of a hangover. Dont think I've ever had one. Just feel a little nauseous the next day.

:D I think you just don't drink often enough. The more often you drink the less you have these problems. Eating and drinking water before bed is the only hangover cure. I used to have that thing where I couldn't stomach food after a couple of beers. You get over it with practice.
