Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Why No Hangovers?

 Poster: A snowHead

Something Masopa has said on another thread has got me thinking.

Why is that when I'm at home any more than three pints of lager on Friday night makes me feel awful all day Saturday, but when skiing I can drink vast quantities, get four hours sleep, but as soon as I get out on the mountain (first lift) I feel fantastic? And I can do this 8 days in a row?

Do any physiologists out there have an explanation for this phenomenon? Can't all be fresh air and adrenalin surely?

I've always wondered the same thing. I would love a good explanation (scientifically based or not) to flumox all the SAD non-skiers I work with, who refuse to believe me when I tell them this! Confused

I'd say it is because of what you're drinking. Try some nice real ale - no preservatives means that you can drink more before you get a sore head. Maybe it could also be because you're de-hydrated. I find that I actively drink lots of water when on holiday because everything is so well heated.

I was about to say something similar Alex. Drinking lager in Britain is akin to pouring chemical waste down your throat. No wonder it hurts next day. The beer in Austria (not so sure about the stuff in France) has none of those nasty chemicals in it and so doesnt cause a nasty hangover.

I wont even start on "bottles of bud"

Trouble is that if you add some red wine into the equation along with the beer then you do suffer. It also explains why my skiing was pants the day after our "last night". Mind you, it didn't help going to bed after 4.00 am and then getting up at 9.00. I had to give up by lunchtime! snowHead

You're right Martyn C. The beer in Austria is au natrel but some can still be a bit gassy. I eat really well on holiday so I'm sure all the booze gets soaked up. After a few minutes of fresh air in the morning its business as usual. However, it hits me as soon as I get home and I feel awful for about a week until I've caught up on sleep and detoxed! Ahh, pollution free air and booze, only one week to go Very Happy

I find I can drink less in the mountains than at home. Something to do with the altitude possibly.

I reckon the cold air is a great head clearer.

In the interests of experimentation, next time you've hung one on try sticking your head in the freezer and taking a few deep lung-fulls. A friend who worked in an industrial cold store swore by it.

Hairy dogs normally do it better for me. Cool

I've always thought it was the cold mountain air. Nothing like thirty people in a 15 minute cable car ride to bring on the queaziness though. Been there a few times. Sad

That's particularly dangerous as well Mark, especially if it's a Thursday morning. Probably quite a lot of people feeling much the same, and all you need is one person being physically sick and you'll set the whole cabin off. NASTY... Sad

My own personal hangover prevention trick is taking two charcoal tablets before going to bed. Combine this with as much water as you stomach and you solve/prevent two of the biggest problems - dehydration and the toxins that float around your system. Never fails to work (when I remember to take the charcoal!)

I was in transit van years ago with a load of mates going down for a day's seafishing after a particularly heavy session the night before, when exactly that happened. The driver pulled over and I jumped out of the passenger door to open the back door and let 5 gagging blokes out - unfortunately in their haste to yank the door open, they broke the handle off and the door stayed shut. Funniest thing - watching then clammering to get out and then all being rather ill.

Ah Fruity, if only were so.

Let me tell U a tale of the olde country:
Way back in the depths of Summer when last season's stories had been told too often and it was still a little too sad to be looking forward to next season - somebody posted a message in the 'olde place' with all sorts of text formatting that we had not seen before. When Elizabeth pointed out that this could be reproduced by any of us using simple HTML tags ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE.

It was mental - coloured text, HUGE coloured , moving, flashing text and pictures and even sounds accompanied posts.
It was as if the teletubbies were running the ski club!

Then one day ---- eh oh!
The site turned PINK - the front page was pink instead of white and U just had to laugh. It was like the 'Spot' in 'The Cat in the Hat Comes Back'(where the snow all ends up pink) - colour spreading to bring fun to a dull dull dull day(when mother's away).

By all accounts it was quite a popular choice too but 'mother always comes home in the end' and Laura took away our toys and protected the site from HTML code.

However, those wonderous times shall always be fondly remembered, honoured as they are by the thread: The Glorious Days Of Colour.

The End.

I have to say that if your hangover disappears as soon as you get out on the mountain, then you just haven't drunk enough the night before. A true mountain hangover, is when you force yourself out of bed because the conditions are fantastic, get out and do a full days skiing, drink water, have lunch, and still, at the end of the day, your mouth tastes of stale beer, and you've got a pounding headache, but somehow it doesn't seem to matter so much, especially once the first Red Eric has slipped down in the PD.
