1 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff to Blow your Mind from how Stuff 2 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: Works dot com. Hey, welcome to stuff to Blow your Mind. 3 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: My name is Robert Lamb and I'm Julie Douglas. Julie 4 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:24,240 Speaker 1: wins last for me to hangover? Um definitely not this morning. Um. 5 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: In the last six months plus six months, yeah, yeah, 6 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: I had one personal long time actually last weekend. Yeah, 7 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: Sunday morning, which is not my usual thing. I can't 8 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: remember the last time I actually had one, because I'm 9 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: generally not a big drinker, but you know, occasionally go 10 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: to a party and somebody will have will provide the alcohol. 11 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 1: And it's when they don't either either they're they're new 12 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: to the idea of mixing up a large quantity of 13 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: a drink and then forcing them upon people, or that 14 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: or they don't understand basic chemistry or something. That's when 15 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: I encountered the disastrous effects. In this case, it was 16 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: an overly strong margharita that had been mixed up for everybody, 17 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: because like a Mexican Christmas party, it was a great party. 18 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: But but the margarita's were basically tequila and ice and 19 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: some sugar and and that was a bad situation. In 20 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: other cases, I've encountered. Um uh, you know, you go 21 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: to a party and someone will hand out jello shots 22 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: and they won't even solidify that they're they're so poorly mixed, 23 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: and that is generally disastrous. Okay, well I have to 24 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: say that the festive Mexican Christmas party, I feel kind 25 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: of relieved. I thought you were doing keg stands or something. Yeah. Yeah, 26 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: but we're definitely talking about this, uh today this podcast, 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: because what's coming up New Year's right, Yeah, lots of revelry, 28 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: lots of debauchery, and in fact, if your Norwegian, maybe 29 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: you even say that it could lead to va Oh yes, 30 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: this is one of the older terms for for the hangover. Yeah, yeah, 31 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: I mean it actually means uneasiness following debauchery. Do you 32 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: think the the hangover movies are called vessels? You over there? 33 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: Because I feel like if I was told, Hey, we're 34 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: gonna go see this movie but selgy it sounds like 35 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: a really serious Norwegian you know, black and white art film, 36 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: and I would be like, ah, let's see that, and 37 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: then I would I would be rather disappointed. But then 38 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: you'd feel like there's a monkey in there. Oh, such 39 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: data ism, such surrealism. Well the monkey, y know, well 40 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: it would be used in a more surreal fashion. I imagine, 41 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, but but yeah, and so in this 42 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: podcast we are going to talk about the hangover, the 43 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: the the actual hangover, what what's going on in it? Wait, 44 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: you can do to prevent it to well, I mean 45 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: the big thing you can do to prevent it, of course, 46 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: is to do not drink, and and hopefully too, as 47 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: we discussed the uh the wages of of drinking, you will, um, 48 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: you know, we're definitely not encouraging you to do. In fact, 49 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: if anything that should I mean just reading over it 50 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: and research again, I'm like, man, and maybe I shouldn't, 51 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: you know, I should just skip everything? Well right right, 52 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: by the end of this podcast, you'll have a really 53 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: good idea of why it's super creepy. Actually, this hangover 54 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: process that happens to your body is basically like a 55 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: big talk six spill that your body has to clean up. 56 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: And then you'll also understand why you keep doing it. 57 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: So we'll cover that. But first of all, let's talk 58 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: about what this feels like. What's a hangover to you? Well, 59 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a whole list of of things that 60 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: it feels like a whole list of symptoms, and it 61 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: depends a lot of It depends on exactly how this 62 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: chemical spill plays out inside your body. There are several 63 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: different factors that contribute to it, but the symptoms generally 64 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: fall out like this headache obviously, and granted that can 65 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: range from a slight headache and oh, I had a 66 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: little bit much too much to drink last night headache 67 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: to a my skull is about to fall in half headache. Yes, 68 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: poor sense of overall well being, you know the words. 69 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: You just wake up and you just feel crappy, sensitivity 70 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: to light and sound, so you wake up. Was I 71 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: bid by a vampire? Or did I just drink a lot? 72 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: You don't know. Diarrhea, loss of appetite, trembling, uh, not good, 73 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: nausea of course, fatigue, increased heart rate and blood pressure, dehydration, 74 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: dry mouth, extreme thirst, dry eyes. And this is really 75 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: key and will discuss later on this dehydration because this 76 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: has a lot to do with how you're feeling overall. Uh. 77 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: Trouble concentrating, which is an interesting one because I was 78 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: I was looking around, um and I couldn't find anything 79 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: to back me up. In this. So this is one 80 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: of those cases where I might have to say, hey, readers, listeners, rather, uh, 81 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: if you have anything to add on this, I'd be 82 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: interested to hear. I found what what are you gonna 83 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: lay down on us? I found that in the in 84 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: the in the rare cases that I have been hungover, 85 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: there seems to be like a certain amount of hangover 86 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: that is conducive to concentration on work like that. There's 87 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: a certain amount. And I'm not saying it's necessarily the 88 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: hangover made made me smarter or more concentrate. Maybe it's 89 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: part of like you're overcompensating for the fact that you 90 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: you potentially screwed up your current, your present by what 91 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: you did in the past. So I don't know. I 92 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: think that it would be interesting to hear from other people. 93 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: Certainly could concentrate on TV watching, I'm sure a lot better. 94 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: But if you're a parent like I am, and you 95 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: if you do this foolish thing, you you have a 96 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: hangover and you have a splitting headache. There's just yet 97 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: concentrating is not going to happen. Uh. And then the 98 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: other ones are anxiety difficulties, sleeping, and weakness. Yeah, I 99 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: mean muscle weakness, right, Yeah, so of course it's just 100 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: all these different factors of malaise that happens. And what 101 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: can actually exacerbate this. To just keep in mind is 102 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: that if you drink on an empty stomach, you could 103 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: have a horrific hangover the next day if you have 104 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: a lack of sleep. Um, let's say you dance for 105 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: four hours straight. And the physical exertion is also a 106 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: part of that too. Yeah, physical exertion and you lost 107 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: a lot of the water content in your body right again, 108 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: dehydration before drinking, and then poor health, which kind of 109 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: makes sense, right, So if you've got the flu, it's 110 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: probably not a good idea to go on a bender exactly. Yeah, 111 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: don't compromise your body. Um. And I should also point 112 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: out the whole like that you're weak, your muscles just 113 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: don't have as much energy. I do remember one of 114 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: the the times I was hungover in college. Um, I 115 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: had to go into an acting class and they were 116 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: doing a lot of body work that day, and it 117 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: was there was a lot of like, we're gonna do 118 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: some yoga stuff. And this was like a decade or 119 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: so before I not a decade, but a long time 120 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: before I actually got into yoga, So it was just 121 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: pure torture, the idea, We're gonna do all these squats 122 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: and and down dogs and uh and all this. Yeah, 123 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: it's interesting you bring up the acting classes, because they do. 124 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: They love all sorts of random body warming up experiments. 125 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: I called them experiments because I have one teacher who 126 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: loved Marcel Marceau and so we mined for like twenty 127 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: minutes to get warmed up. I'm not kidding. And another 128 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: teacher who liked to play an album that's like a 129 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: charm and mow, um, it's supposed to be inspirational, uh 130 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,679 Speaker 1: this record, and that we would march information the liberal 131 00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: infiltration of academia. So yeah, and I'm just gonna throw 132 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: this out there. Maybe hangover yoga is a thing. Maybe somebody. 133 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,559 Speaker 1: I'm sure that someone has created a hangover yoga for sure. Okay, 134 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: So let's uh talk a little more about what happens, 135 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: what happens in your body? And um, you touched on 136 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: this earlier and you told us it was important that 137 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: it is. It's this thing called the diuretic effect, right, 138 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: alcohol sends your kidneys a message to send water directly 139 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: to the bladder instead of reabsorbing it into the body. Okay, 140 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: that's that's why when you have a beer, you know, 141 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: twenty minutes later, you all of a sudden you have 142 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom. Yeah, this is why. Well, yeah, 143 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: it just becomes a NonStop trip back and forth to pee. Yeah. 144 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: That's why the longer than night goes on, the harder 145 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: it is to go use the bathroom at a bar 146 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: in a reasonable amount of time, right, because everybody's cued up. 147 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: And it's why the floor in the men's room at 148 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: any given bar is like an inch deep in urine. Yeah, 149 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: there you go. Another great reason to go and celebrating 150 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: your local pub or bar. And this is called vasopressin inhibition. 151 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: And this is a really interesting alcohol causes four times 152 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: as much liquid to be lost as gained. Yeah, there 153 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: are studies that showed the drinking about two d and 154 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: fifty million liters of an alcoholic beverage caused the body 155 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: to expel eight hundred to a thousand million liters of water. Yes, 156 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: so there you go. Okay, so what's the big result 157 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: of this is that you feel like a sun droid 158 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: to me the next day, you are very dehydrated. That's 159 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: the whole that's you know, your eyes feel dry, your 160 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: mouth feels dry, so that kind of sound, you know. Yeah, 161 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: and and of course your mouth feels like something died 162 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: in it too. Yeah, there's there's some smells that we're 163 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: not going to go into because we're gonna talk more 164 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: about how your body actually feels. The creepiest part is 165 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: that your organs are responsible for giving you a head 166 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: splitting headache because they essentially steal water from your brain, 167 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: causing it to decrease in size and pull on the 168 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: membranes that connect the brain to the skull, causing the pain. Yeah, 169 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: so they're they're like, look, there's a water shortage. Uh, 170 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: us lower organs really need all the goods brain you're 171 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: just gonna have to make do you got us into 172 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: this anyway? So uh yeah, you you're not gonna think 173 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: today anyway because you're hungover. So we're just gonna go 174 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: ahead and uh shrink your brain here. Also, because you've 175 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: been a p machine again thanks to that directic effect 176 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: of alcohol. If you've lost potassium, sodium, and glucose, which 177 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: we know as a source of energy and all, this 178 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: can result in fatigue nausea and motor skills pross of 179 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: saik a toddler. Well, what was that last part that 180 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: you could have the motor skills pross of a talking essentially, 181 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: because you know you have your you know, woken up 182 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: in the morning and a night of debauchery and said 183 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: to yourself, Oh, that's awful. You managed to get your 184 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: head up off the pillow and then you just start 185 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: banging into door frames everywhere. Well that's me all the 186 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: time anyway, and not the debauchery part, but just waking 187 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: up and stumbling over things. Okay, well made worse by alcohol. Yeah, yeah, 188 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: I'm a klutz anyway, so if I was, if I'm hungover, 189 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: then God help me. Another thing you have to worry 190 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: about when you have alcohol. It's something called the congenera effect. 191 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: And congenders are byproducts of fermentation in some alcohols. Uh, 192 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: you'll encounter these and generally red wines and dark liquors 193 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: such as your bourbons, your brandise, your whiskey, enough, your tequila. 194 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: These are just additional toxins that can have various effects 195 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: on the body. Right, And Okay, the the darker the 196 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: alcohol like rum or red wine, the more congenerous are 197 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: in it. So if you've got white wine or vodka, 198 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: you're actually going to be imbibing less congenerous, which is 199 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: a good thing. In fact, there was one study that 200 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: said that thirty three of those who drink an amount 201 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: of bourbon relative to their body weight reported a severe hangover, 202 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: compared to three percent of those who drink the same 203 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: amount of vodka. Not to say that clear liquors is 204 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: a path to salvation, because because ever clear is pure 205 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: looking at the driven snow, but everyone knows that it's 206 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: brewed in the devil's vowels, so nicely put yeah, yeah, um. 207 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: And then we know, of course that mixing is a 208 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: bad idea, right right, Yeah. I like that they have 209 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: all the things right, like beer before wine, go to bed, 210 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: fine line before beer, nothing to fear. I'm right now. 211 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: I can't remember one of them is bad, but I 212 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: don't remember which. At any rate, they say, don't mix, right. 213 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: If you're if you're having a margarite, to stick to marguarite. 214 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: If you're having read wine, stick to red wine. Don't 215 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: try and uh, you know, and earn all your merit 216 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: badges in one night. That's right, because all those merit 217 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: badges come with different points of toxicity, right, So you're 218 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: basically just creating a little toxicity cocktail for your body 219 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: to try to clean up the next day. Also, it 220 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: should be noted carbonation, you know, such as you know 221 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: in beer's, ciders, et cetera. These actually speed up the 222 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: absorption of alcohol that's my body. So think about that. 223 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: Is it fizzing? Is it dark? I don't know, you 224 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: think twice maybe, because that's actually it's going to give 225 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: the body less time and usual to process the toxins. Yeah, 226 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with beer in and of itself, 227 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: but pounding it several per hours probably not a good 228 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: idea because it actually takes your body one hour process 229 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: a drink like a beer, a glass of beer or 230 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: a glass suppline. Well, you know what a houseman said 231 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: about beer. What he said, beer has done more than 232 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: Milton can to justify God's ways to man, I always 233 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: like that one. He's of course referring to Milton, who 234 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: paradise loss to justify the ways of god demands. So nice, 235 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: that's just a little a set. I don't I'm actually 236 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: not a beer drinker, but I like that quick you 237 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: know that that that makes me think about when we 238 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: can't remember which podcast it was, but we talked about 239 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: how coffee houses really helped to usher in the age 240 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: of enlightenment because before everyone has just drunk off their butts, right, 241 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: because beer was sometimes more readily available than clean water. 242 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: And so yeah, you know, put a little caffeine and 243 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: then and all of a sudden people perk up and 244 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: the ideas start flowing. So yeah, and also it was 245 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: the you know, it's an age like you don't like 246 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: your current state. It's like, I don't really like where 247 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: my mind's at. I want to change it. What should 248 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: I do? Well, there's the beer option, and then there's nothing, 249 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: so I better go with the beer option. Now there 250 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: are a lot more options. There's there's the upper and 251 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: the downer, there's the coffee, there's the drink. People began 252 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: to go more and more with the upper, with the 253 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: coffee especially. Yeah, and then, of course we won't talk 254 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: about it right now, but a little bit we'll talk 255 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: about why you actually shouldn't mix you're caffeine with your alcohol. 256 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: But let's talk about something that is quite a menace. 257 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: It is as hyde. It's it's quite a bogger, right, 258 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: It's a it's creative when alcohol and the liver is 259 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: broken down, and it's more toxic than alcohol itself, and 260 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: usually the toxin is neutralized when it bonds to substances 261 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: called glutathione and nasatelda hide de hydrogen ase. But when 262 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: large amounts of alcohol enter the system, liver stores of 263 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: glutathion quickly run out and causes astel to hide, to 264 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: build up in the body and linger for for long 265 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: periods of time. Okay, so that's why, um, this is 266 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: really important because you just have a finite store of 267 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: basically these other little agents that come in and they 268 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: are the clamp crew and they whisk everything away. So 269 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: the more alcohol you pour into that, the more you're 270 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 1: going to deplete the clean up agents. And that's when 271 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: you get into trouble because you've got the acetelda hide 272 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: just sitting there and storing up. So it also turns 273 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: out that women have less stores of glutoth ione and 274 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: acetel to hide dehydrogen ese, which makes their hangover to 275 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: worse because it takes longer for the body to break 276 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: down the alcohol. In case anybody's wondering, I know, sometimes 277 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: people think that it has to do with body weight, 278 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: and you know, certainly that is a factor. But the 279 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: reason why women are essentially lightweights is because they don't 280 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: have as much as that cleanup crew hanging out in 281 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: their liver. It's also worth noting that sistine alright, cisticine 282 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: is actually hanging out with the glutoth ione and helps 283 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: to clean up. Yea, eggs contain a large amount of it. Yeah, 284 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: so if you the whole thing about have a big 285 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: breakfast after you had a night of drinking, Yeah, there's 286 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: some truth to that because I think you know, big 287 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: plate of eggs is going to have a lot of 288 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: sustaining in it, right, and that will help kind of 289 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: whisk it all out of your system. Um, but let's 290 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: talk about this this last element which is really important 291 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: about what's happening inside your body. Glutamine rebound. Yes, this 292 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: is basically the the idea that uh that you've been 293 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: you've been taking into pressant all night in the form 294 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: of the alcohol, and then once you get home, you've 295 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: stopped drinking, you want to sleep, but your body is 296 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: now rebounding from all that depression. That's right. I'll call 297 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: it inhibiting gluta mine, which is one of the body's 298 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: natural stimulants. So when the drinker stops drinking and the 299 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: body tries to make up for the lost time by 300 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: producing more glutamen, and the net net is that your 301 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: brain is really busy trying to recalibrate your body and 302 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: therefore not resting during sleep. Right It's kind of like 303 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: the cat has been sleeping all day, all afternoon while 304 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: you've been running around. Now you want to sleep, but 305 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: now the cat is awake. In the brain is the 306 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: cat and it wants to play with a mouse right now. 307 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean that's what leads to tremors, anxiety. 308 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: This just general feeling of malai's restlessness and increase blood pressure, 309 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: which is really important I think for people understand if 310 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: they've got some risk factors there. And of course we 311 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: need to talk about poopy tubes. I'm talking about diarrhea. Yes, 312 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: what's the what's the rationale on this? Why should that 313 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: have anything to do with like, because I mean it 314 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: seems on one level, it's like this shouldn't really concern 315 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: you intestines. This is this is just between my my, 316 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: my brain, my liver, and my bladder. Like you you 317 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: shouldn't even be a part of this discussion. Why are 318 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: you butting in? Okay, because the stommic the intestines are like, hey, 319 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: I've been poisoned, essentially because the alcohol is absorbed through 320 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: the stomach lining and then those cells become irritated, right, 321 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: and they just want to get everything out there, like 322 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: something is wrong here. Let's just clear it out. Yeah, 323 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: let's just go ahead and dump it all out. Also, 324 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: alcohol promote secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach um, 325 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: eventually causing the nerves to send a message to the 326 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: brain that the stomachs contents are hurting the body and 327 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: must be expelled through vomit. Okay, okay, So that's why 328 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: sometimes people are clutching out the porcelain. God. Yeah, And 329 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: it's it's like when you if you have any kind 330 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: of like food poisoning situation, it's like the bodies like 331 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: something ain't working. Everybody the out the front, out the back, 332 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: I don't care. Whichever is easy is find the nearest exit. 333 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: You you were you were told to note it when 334 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: you entered the plane. Now it's time to leave. That's 335 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: why we're shutting this down. Yeah, alright, So those are 336 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: some of the basics about what's happening, these awful things 337 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: that are happening in your body. We're going to talk 338 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: about the I will never do that again syndrome a 339 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: k a. Rose colored beer goggles. Rose colored beer goggles. Yes, 340 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,479 Speaker 1: now this is this is easy for anyone to imagine. 341 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: Who's who's certainly who's ever had a little too much 342 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: to drink, or even if you've just seen a TV 343 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: show or a movie where someone has had too much 344 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: to drink, there comes that that that moment in the 345 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: morning after where someone's head feels like it's splitting in 346 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: half or their their bodies evacuating at both ends. Uh, 347 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: you know they're in a horrible state and they're clearly thinking, 348 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: or you're clearly thinking, I Am never doing that again, 349 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: because no matter how good it I felt last night, 350 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: at any given moment, it's not worth how I'm feeling now. Yeah, 351 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: it's true. For at least an hour up to possibly 352 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: like I don't know, days, weeks, months afterward, you may 353 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: be in this sort of shame spiral of I will 354 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: never do that again, and I was a complete drunken 355 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 1: stein um and you know it's it just never will 356 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: happen again. I will never behave in such a way, 357 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: and then it happens again. And this is very common, 358 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: right yeah, I mean this. You can expand this out 359 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: to anything humans do well. I mean I always keep 360 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: making the same mistakes we never learned, and we are 361 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: pretty bad at weighing long term effects versus instant gratification. 362 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, our ulysses packed with ourselves is usually no 363 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: one void when it comes to alcohol. But just to 364 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: throw some stats at you, more than seventy five of 365 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: alcohol consumers have experienced to hang over at least once, 366 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: have one at least every month. In percent of you 367 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: crazy college students feel symptoms weekly, which is not a 368 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: big surprise. So again, obviously people keep coming back to 369 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: the trough when it comes to alcohol, and why do 370 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: they do it? Positive memory bias. That's right. It turns 371 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: out you are a very unreliable witness when it comes 372 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 1: to you and drinking the previous nights bender might have 373 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: seemed far more entertaining than it actually was, and you 374 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: overrate the experience so that it now has a positive 375 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: memory bias. Okay. Um. Researcher Diane Logan wrote a her 376 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: findings in a paper for the Journal of Addictive Behavior, 377 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: saying quote what goes on in some people's minds is, hey, 378 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: I've learned my lesson, things will be better next time. 379 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: Suddenly they think urinating on myself, it's not really that bad, 380 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: and it's already happened a couple of times. Um, And 381 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: this is what we call cognitive dissonance, right, yeah. Uh. 382 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: And then again Logan says, it's kind of where the 383 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: brain is at battle with itself. So if I'm a 384 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: good upstanding person, those bad behaviors from the night before 385 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: just don't quite fit together. Either I have to change 386 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: my view of myself, which is really important with cognitive dissonance, right, 387 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: or I have to change my view of the actual 388 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: activity that occurred. So it's that changed battle we spoke 389 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: of just ceases to exist because you can negate it 390 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: by explaining away the events of your transgressions as saying, 391 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: for instance, like, oh, well, that's just the cultural norm. 392 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: This happens, right, peeing on yourself it happens. But I 393 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: don't know that's actually I don't know how cultural norm 394 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: that is. Well, I feel like it's more I mean, 395 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, like you say, sooner or later, you're 396 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: gonna be on yourself. There's no avoiding it. I kind 397 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: of I'm gonna say a circumstance or another I was 398 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: gonna say, perhaps this is a gender difference. Okay, I 399 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: don't know. Um, So there you go. That's that's why 400 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: we keep coming back to the alcohol trop or at 401 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: least some of us do, even though we've had a 402 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: horrible experience. Uh. You know, we might feel like we're 403 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: dying the next day because we overrate the experience of 404 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: one we actually had a buzz. Alright, So this is 405 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: what I want to know. Can you you, Robert Lamb, 406 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: can you cure a hangover? Um? It depends what you 407 00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: mean by cure. Can I help it go away in time? Yes? 408 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: Because it will go away in time? Um. But but 409 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: the key thing there is the time there's there there's 410 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: unfortunately for for those that are hungover. Uh, there's no 411 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: real magic cure like uh. One of the big things 412 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: is water both as a preventative and is a treatment 413 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: for the for the hangover. Okay, so there's no no 414 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: cure except for time. Time heals all wounds. Right, but 415 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: you can be made more comfortable, yes, yeah? And what 416 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: what water is key? Because as we discussed, dehydration is 417 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: a huge part of this. So if you're drinking more 418 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: water before and endearing and after you've had alcohol, you're 419 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: gonna be better off in the long run. I mean, 420 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: this is the kind of thing that one's older brother 421 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: or friend is you know, probably told you in the 422 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: wee early days of your drinking, yeah, or your grandmother, 423 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: you know, like, have a have a glass of water 424 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: between drinks, or if you're feeling like the one I 425 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: remember hearing when I was younger was um but though 426 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: of a drinking age was if you've finished drinking for 427 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: the evening and you feel kind of weird, you know, 428 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: drink drink water, and then when you feel like you 429 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: cannot drink anymore water, have another glass of water, because 430 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: you're just gonna be better off in the long run 431 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: for your organs, for your brain, everything. Yeah. Just remember 432 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: your poor brain being robbed of water, so try to 433 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: replenish that and you will probably won't have a hangover, 434 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: but of course that depends on how much you drink. 435 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: There is actually some really important preventative stuff you can 436 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: do too, Yeah, and I was suppresed by this actually 437 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: eating large fatty meals. Yeah, this is interesting because it's 438 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: sometimes mentioned as a cure, but it's like, oh, you're 439 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: feeling hungover, better, hit the fries, cook, get some tater tots. 440 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: So this is not true in the morning after, right, 441 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: not not true the morning after, but as a preventative 442 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: before that's where it makes a difference. You gotta have 443 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: that stuff already down there to soak it up. That's right. 444 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: It actually can slow the absorption of alcohol if you 445 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: have a big fatty meal beforehand. And of course hydrating 446 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: beforehand is really important. In fact, for every drink, you 447 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: should have one glass of water. Right, Actually, you just 448 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: mentioned that and this was interesting too. So you know 449 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: all these different hangover solution pills, the sort of magic 450 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: pills you can take to supposedly help you with your hangover. Um, 451 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: some of those do actually have some vitamins that are helpful, 452 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: because you know, they're various vitamins, nutritious things that are 453 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: that are lost during the night the unique to replenish. 454 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: But for the most part you'll find that these pills 455 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: are saying like, all right, take one of these every 456 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: two hours with like three glasses of water or something. Yeah, 457 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: it's the water that's helping. If that's a pill is 458 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: largely incidental. It's not a magic pill at all. Yeah. Um, 459 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: but you know, of course vitamins can help, right, especially 460 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: if the next day you are you know, been robbed 461 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 1: if your potassium. Yeah, eat banana, yeah, eat banana. Yeah. 462 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: So the next day, eat a banana, have some eggs. 463 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: As you said, that's sister scene is actually going to 464 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: clean things up pretty well for you. And uh, you know, 465 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: of course water water, water, what else we owe sports 466 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: drinks because they actually contain the electro lights and sugars 467 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: and salts to help you balance. And if you if 468 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: you were and if you were stupid enough to get 469 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: yourself hungover, then you deserve to have to drink one 470 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: of those horrible sports drinks. Consider it part of your 471 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: punishment for what you did. The range sugar water tastes bad, sure, 472 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: but you earned it, so that's your prize hangover. And 473 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: in fact, you should drink it in public, go outside, 474 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: walk around with it, go through that a wine glass. Yeah. 475 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: See how the sex do you feel? Then? Um? But 476 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: this is another important thing to uh we mentioned it earlier. Caffeine. 477 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: Stay away from it because even though it will give 478 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: you a lift, you know, it's pretty momentary um and fleeting, 479 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: and it will actually rob your body of more water, 480 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: of course. And another thing to keep in mind is 481 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: because I'm thinking back to a professor I had in college, 482 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: and he's a great professor. I'm not going to name him, 483 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: but but he was a great professor. But I remember 484 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: one of his classes. One of my classmates was like, 485 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: you should smell its coffee cup when you go, when 486 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: you go, And I'm like, how am I gonna smell 487 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: his coffee cups? And it's like, trust me, you don't 488 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,479 Speaker 1: have to try very hard. And and his his coffee 489 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 1: cup like reeked of alcohol, so he's having some sort 490 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: of morning combination of caffeine but also the hair of 491 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: the dog that did in right, And that's another kind 492 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: of myth. When it comes to fighting a hangover, you 493 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: cannot drink it away, right. All you're doing is accumulating 494 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: more toxins in your lover for it to dump out. Yeah, 495 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: and it best. You're just putting off the inevitable. You're 496 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: just kicking that drunken can down the street a little ways. Yeah. 497 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: I like that, but maybe it'll get you through first period. 498 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, Right, Sometimes you just need to get 499 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: through that first hour. Again, not advocating this because it 500 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: is awful. Do you mentioned quote beer goggles earlier? Is 501 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,719 Speaker 1: that really a thing? It actually is? Yeah, yeah, this 502 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: is really interesting. We have an article called there's a 503 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: mathematical formula for the beer goggles effect question mark and 504 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: neurons and the nucleus A Cummins fire when you look 505 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: at a face that you deem attractive. Okay, so that's 506 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: important to know. Alcohol by itself actually causes neurons to 507 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: fire in the nucleus it commons as well, so it 508 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: is stimulated just a little bit more. Right. So the 509 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: idea is that if you're drinking and you're assessing someone's 510 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: attractiveness or whether or not you feel like you I 511 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: want to talk to this person or so on and 512 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: so forth, you may have some over activity in that 513 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: area of your brain. And studies have shown the inebriated 514 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: study participants rated photos of strangers twenty five percent more 515 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: attractive than their sober counterparts did with the same photos. 516 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: And then there's actually apparently a mathematical formula for this 517 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 1: beer goggles effect, and it takes into account the lighting 518 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: level and the quality of the person's eyesight. And you know, 519 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: along with like four other factors. So there you go. 520 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: Beer goggles does exist for apparently for for men and women. 521 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: So there are a lot of false claims out there 522 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: about what can be done to cure a hangover, what 523 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: can be done to to to to soften its effects, 524 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: because because when you when you have a hangover, especially 525 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: severe when you're you're probably willing to pay any amount 526 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: of money for it to go away. And um, one 527 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: of the interesting things that ran across this from several 528 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: years back. And I don't think it's really kicked off anymore. 529 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't really gained anymore esteem. But um, it was 530 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: invented by a business by the name of Dominique similar 531 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: and it was called a wall alcohol without liquid. Um 532 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: tell me more, which sounds a little alcohol without borders 533 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, alcohol without liquid. And this was the 534 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: idea that you would you would take alcohol and you 535 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: would you would turn it into an inhalable form, so 536 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: you would go up to your to the bar, I guess, 537 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: and they would hand you a like a blue velvet 538 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: style gas and you would huff the alcohol. And and 539 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: it was the marketing on this is that it's going 540 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: to be like low carb because you're not you're not. 541 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: It's not physical, so you can't possibly have any weight 542 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: to it, and it's you're not gonna really get get 543 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: much of a hand. Clowns show up, does a woman 544 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: carrying a log show up? Yes? And participating bars um. 545 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: But but the thing is, it turns out when scientists 546 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: were asked about this, and when when journals actually like 547 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: looked into the matter, most of this stuff it wasn't true. 548 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: Like the carb issue is bunk and the hangover issues 549 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: kind of tricky too, because we mentioned there's several reasons 550 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: for hangover to happen, and a number of them are 551 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: not going to really be affected by by whether you're 552 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: you're drinking it or inhaling it into your body. Yeah, 553 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 1: it seems like if that were actually an effective mode 554 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: of making someone drunk, that would be piped into you know, 555 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: most retail areas for instance. It may affect some of 556 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: the congenerous in the alcohol. I Like we said that 557 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: you know find this specifically like red wine and dark alcohols. 558 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: But but that's not going to affect the dehydration, the 559 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: diseruption of electro light branches, sleep patterns being messed with. 560 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: Uh So Yeah, it turns out it's not really um 561 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: the pie in the sky thing that the people thought 562 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: it was. Like I said, if it were, I'm pretty 563 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: sure the gap would be pumping it out right shopping. 564 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier in the podcast how it couldn't really 565 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: find anything to to tell me yea or nay on 566 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: the whole increased focus with hangover, um so, and which 567 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: leads me to believe that I am full of it 568 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: on that you know, or this just sort of I 569 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: think for you, this is just a unique situation. I 570 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: have a feeling it's it's me over compensating and being 571 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: like hangover ruining my morning. No, I'm gonna get some 572 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: work done anyway. Yeah, but I did find something um 573 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: I mentioned on Psychology Today called the hangover hypothesis, and 574 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: this basically breaks down that a night of moderate drinking 575 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: okay moderate plus a low car breakfast can improve your 576 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: mood and memory. Specifically, they mentioned some research from the 577 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: University of Wales that showed that people who fast and 578 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: choose to skip breakfast after drinking alcohol the night before 579 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: are less energetic big surprise, uh, and have poor mood 580 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: throughout the morning. And according to a study published in 581 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: the Journal of Behavioral Neuroscience, individuals who consume more than 582 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: four point five grams of alcohol the previous night. Uh, 583 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: it compounds the effects of both memory and happiness. So 584 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: they're sort of putting these together and making the argument 585 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: that moderate drinking, low car breakfasts improved memory and improved moods. 586 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,959 Speaker 1: So I don't know, Yeah, of course that's all up 587 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: for interpretation. That's always the problem, right, Like once one 588 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: man's moderate is is another woman's uh way too much? Yeah, 589 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: and it's it's also some people can't have have zero 590 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: tolerance for alcohol on a biological level. I mean, I've 591 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: known people before that they they if they were to, say, 592 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: you know, more than a couple of SIPs, they would 593 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: be really drunk. But we're then violently my mother for instance, Yeah, yeah, 594 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: she's starched, breaking out into some sort of odd dance. Uh. 595 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: And we're talking about a quarter a couple of wine. Yeah, 596 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: entertaining for us. And then other people are just dangerous 597 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: and that they drink so much that you you're around 598 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: them and you're it feels like you should be keeping 599 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: up with them, but they're bottommost pit I don't know, 600 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: your tolerance builds up over time. But and then there 601 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: are others who pass out with a cheeseburger in their mouth. 602 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I'm telling you these these are ugly pictures 603 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: of alcohol, and yet uh, we continue to to go 604 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: to it, right, Yeah yeah, I mean it's built up 605 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,479 Speaker 1: in culture, you know. And and that's a speaking of culture, 606 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: I should I should mention that, you know, we're we 607 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: were looking around seeing if there's anything about the future 608 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: of hangovers, and unfortunately most of what I found was 609 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: just stuff about the next hangover movie, which which Gibson right. 610 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: But but I did find uh. I was reminded rather 611 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: of of Ian m Banks culture novels, in which the 612 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: members of the culture are like a post human um society. 613 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: There they're they're humans that have been highly that are 614 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: highly evolved, and then highly their their their physiology is 615 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: highly tinkered with. It's a post singularity situation where robots 616 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: do most of the works and human beings typically just 617 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: do whatever they want, they engage in whatever arts. This 618 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: is the benevolent version of the right benevent version of singularity. 619 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: The robots do most of the work, the humans come 620 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: along for the ride for occasional humanitarians, but mostly just 621 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: do what they want to do, and and so they'll 622 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: they'll typically have have drug glands in their bodies for 623 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:13,239 Speaker 1: hormonal levels, chemical secretions of various uppers and downers, and 624 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: they also have the ability, and one of the characters 625 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: does this in the player of games. They can actually 626 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: bypass their system if they're drinking something they don't want 627 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: to feel the effects of it, or presumably if they're 628 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: eating for purely hedonistic reasons and they don't want to 629 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: actually digest it, then they can just shoot it straight 630 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: straight through, straight through, but their own little vomitorium right right, 631 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: which doesn't didn't actually exist, right, but yes, we used 632 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: to think of Roman times for a vomitorium, right, This 633 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: would be the mythical idea of a vomitorium um brought 634 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: to fruition through um through post humanism bodies. Well, and 635 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: as we discussed in nanimal healthcare, surely there will be 636 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: some sort of delivery system of at least nano aspirin 637 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: to help alleviate some of the symptoms of our debauchery. Yes, 638 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: in time, I can imagine like uh, nanotechnology creating if 639 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: not a true hangover cure, then something akin to it. Yeah, 640 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: all right, you heard it here first, or maybe don't. 641 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: In any case, I hope that that gives everybody a 642 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: good sense of what's happening in your body during a hangover. 643 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: And I hope that I'm not too loud. If you 644 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:28,239 Speaker 1: are currently hungover and you are listening to me, I apologize. Well, hey, 645 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: let's dip into the listener mail. Alright, man, that bot 646 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: is hungover? What were you doing? Where were you robots go? 647 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: I know, come on, robot mail person, and I know 648 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: it's Monday, but come on, so let's see what do 649 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: we have here. Here's one from Extra Extra writes in 650 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and says I was just listening 651 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: to your miss Aphonia episode and I thought I would 652 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: provide some insight from a sufferer. The sound I react 653 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: to is munching or something sticky. The sound has to 654 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: be below a certain volume, barely audible for me at least, 655 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: and I respond with a rage so deep I have 656 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: sometimes thought, only for a moment, about killing my father. 657 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: My specific case is very easy to deal with. Avoiding 658 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: my dad at breakfast seems to do quite well.
