I think abolishing hangovers should be high on the list of socialist goals. Did Marx or maybe Lenin ever write about this?
Under no pretext should alcohol be surrendered; any attempt to impose sobriety on the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.
Can't get a hangover if you never sober up
mantappingonheadmeme.jpgI'd been working bars for some 18 years, so I was a professional drunk. I remember very little of half my life tbh. It's when my little girl was born that I decided I didn't want the hangovers to be a part of her image of her father and I quit.
Thanks, I try my best. I'm sure I'll do some damage in completely new and unique ways though ¯_(ツ)_/ ¯
Where is already a vaccine for hangovers it's called drink fucking water and eat food when you get drunk
Under communism there will be mandatory water drinking at bars
I mean, even if you do all the right things to avoid a proper hangover, if you drink A LOT, you’re still gonna feel,funky afterwards.
I’ve had nights where I did the all the right things and while I woke up free of headache and bad nausea, I still felt like my balance was fucked up and my head was floaty.
yes. First of all, not nearly as many people would ever feel the need to drink. Second, healthcare would be free and you could just go get intravenous fluids.

lmao you really think that?
I really do. Notice I said the "need" to drink. I also think alcohol would only be a handful of peoples first choice recreational drug.
Drinking is fun, and it’s been an important part of human societies since forever, but on the other hand people absolutely self-medicate with it and use it as an unhealthy coping mechanism for a lot of things, but specifically for totally correct feelings of alienation under capitalism. Not in any way speaking from personal experience btw.
Former tool of imperialism. We mainly just use pedialyte. There is a lot of IV rehydration but generally that's for heat casualties or needle practice because dehydration doesn't normally get that severe unless you're in a warzone and with an IV you're stuck monitoring the patient to some degree. IV hydration was done informally as barracks medicine but that's mainly an oh-shit thing for your friends when they find out that they have watch the morning after drinking. In sick call settings it isn't particularly common because the patient then takes up an exam room and supplies while hypokalemia is usually an ER visit.
Everyone should own pedialyte. It's fantastic shit. If you have a med kit for outdoors things, you should have pedialyte.
That could go either way. I spent a shitload of time giving drunks IVs but I also had the combat medic NEC and worked as a fire medic. My patients were all those severe enough to warrant an ambulance or emergency room visit. If he worked infantry or in the acute side of a hospital then there is a lot of putting things in arms and asses.
That was probably IV city for heat casualties but I don't know how prevalent drinking was given the official ban on it.
I just wish it didnt taste the way it does. Anyone have advice on flavors or additives?
Vodka.
Orange juice helps a bit but it sucks regardless. That's just the mineral content I think. Gatorade technically does the same thing but the effect isn't as good as pedialyte.
Lenin would’ve just told you to sober up:
“Whatever the peasant wants in the way of material things we will give him, as long as they do not imperil the health or morals of the nation,” Lenin famously declared late in life. “But if he asks for ikons or booze – these things we will not make for him. For that is definitely retreat; that is definitely degeneration that leads him backward. Concession of this sort we will not make; we shall rather sacrifice any temporary advantage that might be gained from such concessions.“
The Bolsheviks banned distilling in 1919 too.
stalin said he didn’t want to “sacrifice any temporary advantage that might be gained from” banning distillation, so it was repealed. stalin’s all about them temporary advantages in the face of fascist aggression i suppose
A true communist society will ban all drugs, including alcohol, so yes, there won't be more hangovers
P. S. I'm being sarcastic, I know someone will take this seriously
Yes. Potatoes. Greasy, salty potatoes. And vegan bacon also exists and tastes better (in my opinion) than dead pig bacon. But why bother? Just eat potatoes.
PO-TA-TOES. Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew? It's first grade, Spongebob.
My friends used to make fun of me for eating an avocado while drunk/hungover, but it just feels right.
I'm not convinced there is a causal relationship between drinking and hangovers. It could just be a coincidence.
I'm just growing the dataset.
The secret to avoiding hangovers is that you have to go to bed no later than 10pm or 9 hours before you have to be awake, whichever is earlier.
