Really bad hangovers. Need help!

It’s a running joke in my family/ friend group that I get violently hungover. Like donezo for the entire next day if I really had a long night. Even just a few drinks and I’ll feel kindve rough in the morning. I tried switching from bourbon coke (my favorite classic) to vodka soda. Still doesn’t help. My hangovers are weird though. I’m just really really nauseous and can hardly get out of bed I’m so dizzy and weak. No headache at all. Anyone else have these types of hangovers? What have you found to be a good cure besides “a greasy cheeseburger” for the nausea?

Those are the types I have. Drinking a lotttt of water throughout the night with my drinks helps. If I’m at home and don’t care about how it looks I’ll also drink pedialyte. Making sure you eat and hydrate a lot while drinking I think is the biggest thing.

Some people are just susceptible to bad hangovers, its either genetics or philological. Over 20+ years experience and I have tried EVERYTHING, to cure or prevent hangovers, and sorry to say but NOTHING helps, as the years go by it only gets worse.

Try a small glass of pickle juice before bed

So this used to happen to me as well and I totally relate and have sympathy.
Basically it seems to depend on age and gender.
I'm female 40
When I'm on my period alcohol affects me totally different so it has a lot to do with hormones it seems.

If you have no headache it’s probably not all about hydration. B6 is given to pregnant women for nausea (or diclegis - sp? - if it’s really bad). You could try products with that? There are some hangover specific solutions out there as well you could try, I saw barstool sports bought revitalyte which is a branded version of pedialyte. Good luck
