If you have a uh yeah, 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.800 heavy machineries a big one. If you have a problem, 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.800 you can contact alcoholics anonymous. Right. I've always wanted to 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.720 test that one. Get really plowed and just sit down 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:21.280 behind a bulldozer. For I always imagined forkliffs with heavy machinery. 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.760 I go straight to the dozer. So, yes, I have 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.200 had an alcoholic beverage before. What was your experience with it? Like? 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.240 Did you feel a little light headed, a little crazy, 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.440 a little inhibited? I wanted to kiss somebody? Did you 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.679 end up kissing anybody? I did? I kissed my dog. 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:38.760 Didn't you make out with a friend's sister at a 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.319 YouTube concert once? I did? Were you under the effects 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.679 of alcohol during that time? I was, okay, this was 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.560 give me a break, Chuck. Did you end up with 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:54.000 a hangover that day? Yes? I did the same day 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.760 the next day? Yeah? Sure. So how did you feel? 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.240 I felt I had a headache, I had a poor 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.560 sense of well being. Uh i's had sensitivity to light 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.360 and sound, diarrhea, loss of appetite, trembling, nausea, fatigue, you 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:11.959 have the whole list, hydration, anxiety, trouble sleeping, weakness. Wow. Yeah, 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.440 that's a bad hangover right there. That's all the symptoms, 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.280 you know. The one that always gets me the worst 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.320 whenever I have a hangover is the loss of the 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.400 sense of well being. I feel like I am right 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.840 there on the edge of danger. Everybody's gunning for me. 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.760 I feel horrible. Then, really, yeah, it's really bad, it 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.080 really I've always assumed it affects my serotonin level. Sure, 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.120 but I didn't see anything in this article about that, right. 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:36.800 I thought I was gonna have to get taken to 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.399 the hospital in Portland, Oregon one time, did you? Yeah? 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.480 The next day Emily asked me as her friend's wedding. 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.919 She said, Okay, do you like need to go to 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:48.120 the hospital? And I went maybe I was serious. So 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.240 let's talk about this, Chuck. What are the mechanisms that 0:02:52.680 --> 0:03:00.000 lie behind the cursed and dreaded hangover? Vice algia? Yeah? 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.680 Is that the correct pronunciation. That's how I took it. 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:07.320 That's the medical, minormal medical name for hangover is vice algia. Yeah, 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:12.760 And it comes from a Norwegian word for uneasiness following 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:17.160 debauchery vise, and a Greek word for pain algaea, which 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.080 is weird. I've never seen a Norwegian and Greek put together. 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.840 I haven't either, but yeah, you come up with vice algia? 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.440 Can I say that? The Bible verse two? Yeah, Yeah, 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.320 there's a Bible verse that talks about hangovers. It's Isaiah 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.600 five eleven. Woe unto them that rise up early in 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:36.120 the morning, that they may follow strong drink. In other words, 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:38.640 I feel real sorry for you that you had to 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.120 get up early if you got hammered last night. Truer 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.560 words have never been written in the Bible, least translation 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.280 at least translation there. Yeah, so, um so, okay, so 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.360 we've got that down. We have the word origin and 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.760 a Bible quote, as is pretty much whenever you talk 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.720 about a hangover. Right, So what's going on there, Chuck, Well, 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.200 there's a bunch of things. Um, let's go ahead and 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:06.000 start with a vasopressin. Yeah, here's here is, by the way, everyone, 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:11.520 a cocktail party conversation tidbit. So it's your next cocktail party. 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.960 You might want to just bring this up. Okay, it 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:15.840 might be kind of depressing to bring this up actually 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.120 a cocktail party. Well, this is the This is how 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.600 you explain breaking the seal, which I know that you 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.760 have experienced. Sure, it's crazy once you once you urinate, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.360 and we're gonna stick to the clinical terms here, Chuck. 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.240 All right, let's keep it above the breaking the seal. 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:34.360 That's clinical. Um, once you urinate, that first time after 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.679 you've started drinking, it seems like you just keep going 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:41.120 and going and going, and you can't stop, and you 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:45.880 actually can't, right right, So vasopressing vas a pressing. Yes, 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.120 when you drink booze, Uh, it enters your bloodstream and 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:54.159 the pituitary gland blocks the creation of vasopressin and without this, 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:58.240 your kidney starts sending water straight to your bladder basically 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:02.279 right to the tune of four times more than you 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:06.560 actually drink. So you drink two fifty million leaders of alcohol. Uh, 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.640 you can shoot out up to a thousand milli leaders 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:14.520 or a leader? Is that the clinical term to shoot out? Yeah, 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.920 So that's no mistake. If you've ever had a few 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.800 beers and you're thinking, wow, that's so weird. I use 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.679 the bathroom and now I can't stop, that's vast oppressing 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:25.520 right there, right, um, And that's called the diuretic effect. Um. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:30.480 As the the um presence of alcohol increases in the bloodstream, Um, 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.680 you expel a lot more water, right, But you're not 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.960 just expelling water. Also, we should say this leads directly 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:41.520 to dehydration. If you're expelling four times more liquid than 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.720 you're consuming, brother, you're getting dehydrated, which is one of 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.120 the signature results of the hangover. And you get the 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:49.960 headache because of that and other things too, you do 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:51.919 and the headache. And we've talked about this before, I 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.880 don't remember where, so we probably shouldn't, you know, try 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.040 to come up with a time stamp. But um, when 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.560 you have a hangover, your brain at truly shrinks the 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.960 next day. The other organs in your body are like 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.920 you brain, you've got a bunch of water exactly, So 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.880 a lot of the water is shuffled from your brain 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.480 to other organs, causing your brain to actually shrink in size, 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.360 which pulls on the membranes that connected to the skull. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.479 The meningingies right, and you know, when you have a 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.480 really bad hangover, you wake up and you feel like 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.200 the membranes of your skull are being pulled in different 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:28.760 feel like that. So when I read that, I was like, oh, 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.839 so that's what that is. Or like there's a four 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.520 hundred pound ham fisted man with hair and his knuckles 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.760 like doing little twirls in your head. You know. Have 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.000 you ever speaking of breaking the seal? I don't think 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:42.599 they did this in Athens at Georgia, but I know 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.640 some friends at Georgia Southern there were bars there that 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:49.520 had the drink till you pee for free promotion. Have 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.000 you ever heard of those? No, but it sounds awesome. 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.760 Basically like starting at six o'clock, they monitor the bathrooms 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.560 and everyone in the bar gets to drink for free 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.320 until the first person in the bar goes to the bathroom. 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.080 And I don't think they have that in Athens, where 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:03.840 they didn't when I was there. And of course because 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.520 it's you know, a college, there's like dudes peeing in 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.080 beer pictures in the corner, you know, just to keep 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:11.960 not to not have to pay the two hours whether 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.400 or not there's that, you know, uh, contest or promotion. 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:21.920 So it's science science. Uh so, okay, that's vast oppressing, right, yes, 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:26.960 resulting in dehydration. But when you're um urinating everywhere every 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:31.240 which way, whether it's in a beer picture or otherwise, um, 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:39.280 you're also expelling a lot of other needed stuff like electrolytes, salt, potassium, salt, potassium, magnesium, 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.240 and these all affect how you're like cells function, how 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.680 your muscle's function, right, and you're getting rid of it 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:48.800 without putting it back in. So you're gonna feel lousy. Yes, indeed, 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.520 you are going to feel lousy. So you're dehydrated. You've 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:55.040 lost electro lights, right, and the electrolyte and balance is 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.240 really important. Um. If you have too much salt in 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:03.240 your electrolyte and balance is too high, uh, you die. Um. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.720 If you have too little, you get the shakes, the tremors, 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:12.360 which I understand is the most uncommon symptom of hangovers, 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.920 which makes me nervous because I get the shakes just 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.840 about every time. The next day, I've never gotten the shakes. 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.800 What I've never gotten the shakes. It also points out 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.080 in this article that hangovers are subjective, so for each 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:27.400 person you know, they might experience different like oh, I've 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.120 never had a hangover, or when you get the shakes 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.800 and you have a loss of a sense of well being, Yeah, 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.600 that's like Nick Cage and leaving Las Vegas kind of wow. Yeah. 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.000 I've always been like, Wow, that'd be great to have 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.320 a grocery cart in a liquor store. What a great scene. 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.400 Should we talk about glacogen real quick too? Yeah, that's 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.319 another thing you lose. Yes, Um. The glacogen is a 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:54.280 is a key energy source and Uh, it turns it 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.360 goes to the liver and turns into glucose. Is that correct, right, Well, 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.640 the liver turns it into glucost and then sends it 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.439 out basically like what the heck is going on and 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.680 just does something and all of a sudden, you've just 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.120 lost all of your energies. I'll just pee everything out 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.319 just to be sure exactly. Basically it's what's going on. Yeah, 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.240 and that actually accounts for like the weakness the next 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.720 day fatigue um. And actually that's not that's not the 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.840 only thing that accounts for fatigue. Um. You don't sleep 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:25.240 very well after a night of heavy drinking Gluto mine. Yes, 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:29.480 you have gluto mine, which is a another it's actually 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:34.000 a stimulant um natural stimulant, yes, which is the only 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:39.439 good kind of stimulant um. And uh, when you drink alcohol, 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:44.400 the production of this natural stimulant is actually blocked. So 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.880 when you stop drinking e g. Go to sleep, your 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.920 body tries to make up for lost time and overproduces 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.560 glutaman So means you're not getting as gonna sleep exactly. 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:57.600 And the next day you also feel restless and anxious. Um, 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.480 maybe you've got the shakes. That's another cocktail party tip. 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.000 If you know that if you start saying all these 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.480 things that your next cocktail party, you probably won't be 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.719 invited back to the next cocktail party. Though, you know, 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.120 I think you can wow some people. It depends on 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.800 how cool your cocktail party. I guess I could see 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.360 them all saying that, like, why are you telling us 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.760 all these awful things about drinking unless my kind of 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:24.160 cocktail party, it's great for me. Another one, screw glycogen 0:10:24.559 --> 0:11:02.240 Its screw vass repressing. Uh so what else? Josh? Well, 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:06.720 we could talk about the impurities of liquor. Okay, well 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.960 the different alcohols. Yeah. The rule of thumb is the 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.040 darker the alcohol, the more impure it is, and therefore 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.720 the the heavier the hangover. Yes, which is why I 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:21.640 think everyone pretty much knows that like your worst alcoholics, 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.079 they like start drinking every morning when they wake up, 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.280 they're probably drinking vodka. Yes, it's actually a good thing 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.480 to drink if you are an alcoholic, because you're going 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.880 to be able to be as close to a function 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.559 alcoholic as possible. Right. How about that study with the bourbon, Yeah, 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:39.480 thirty they did study between bourbon and vodka and uh, 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:44.080 of the people who drank amount of bourbon relative to 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.600 their body weight had a severe hangover, and only three 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.199 percent had to hangover when they drank vodka. That's a 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:53.040 big white wine that kind of thing. Um, light rum, yeah, 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:59.760 jin Yeah. Conversely, dark rum, it's bad. Tequila is good. Basically, 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.640 if it's dark, it's gonna kill you. I'm in bad 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.439 shape then, because I'm you know, I mean, I'm a 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:08.760 bourbon red wine beer guy. That's funny. I'm like the 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.160 whatever is in the glass guy, Right, that's good. You're 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.520 fun to have at the cocktail party because you're not picky. No, 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.080 as long as you don't run an ice, so you know, 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.240 as long as there's not a cigarette but floating in it, 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:22.440 I'll drink it. And then sometimes even then, I don't 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.720 think that hasn't happened before, Chuck. Basically, what I took 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.360 from this article is when you drink, you are poisoning 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.400 your body through coningers. There's through impurities in the alcohol, 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:36.680 but also through the body's natural processes of breaking down 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:40.599 out alcohol too. It Actually, there's a there's a byproduct 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:47.280 produced when the liver metabolizes alcohol, um called acid aldehyde. Yeah, 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.400 take this one because this kind of I read it 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.400 like three times and I was still a little lost. Okay, chuck, 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:57.280 allow me please. So basically, when the liver metabolizes alcohol, 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.880 it produces a byproduct that's a toxin called acid aldehyde. 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.000 And acid aldehyde is actually more toxic to the body 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:08.160 than alcohol itself, which is crazy. But we have natural 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:13.800 mechanism for neutralizing acid aldehyde called appropriate appropriately enough acid 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.800 aldehyde dehydrogenase appropriately so that stuff goes in a tax 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.160 the acid aldehyde. Right. Then we have this other stuff 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:25.600 that is called glutoth ione, right, and it contains high 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:29.679 levels of a substance called cysteine, and cysteine actually is 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:33.959 attracted to acid aldehyde. So the two things combine, acid 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:38.560 aldehyde dehydrogenase and the cysteine in the glutoth ione uh, 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.760 combined to neutralize the acid aldehyde, right, and it does 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.040 it pretty quickly. Um, you you are going to feel 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.679 some ill effects. But the less you drink, the easier 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:53.000 it is for these two substances to neutralize this byproduct. 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:57.760 Is the alcohol is metabolized, here's the problem. You have 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.280 a limited store of glutothione in your liver, so you 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.360 use it up pretty quick. And women have even less 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.120 than men exactly, which accounts for why women tendn't have 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.280 more harsh hangovers harsher hangovers than men. Sure, not just 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:14.480 body weight, although that does matter. Um. So use up 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.400 your glue to th ione stores and once you do that, 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:22.000 you're blood is just basically circulating this toxin acid aldehyde, 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.120 while the liver generates more glue to ione. Hence you've 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.880 got this horrible hangover and why ultimately time is the 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.680 only remedy for it. Yeah, well, let's get to that 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.800 in a second. Let's get to the remedies. Let's talk 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.640 about liquor before beer, never fear or is it the 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.160 other way around here, Before liquor never sticker or sicker. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.320 There's a little bit of truth to that turns out 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:48.520 because of it when focus to be true totally. Um, 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.040 it turns out that the carbonation and beer speeds up 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.240 the absorption of alcohol. So if you start with beer, 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.720 your body's gonna have and then move on to liquor, 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.080 your body is in fact gonna have a harder time 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:03.120 processing those toxins. Even though there's a certain age. My 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.720 friend Justin, I you know, Justin, we were talking about 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.720 this a few years ago. Someone was remarking about we 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:10.200 had a big night out and like, what was it 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.400 liquor before beer before liquor? I can't remember, And I 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.000 just said, you know what, it doesn't matter anymore. No, 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.160 you're gonna be hurting. You reach a certain age and 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.120 it either doesn't affect you, or it's gonna affect you, 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:22.520 no matter what. Those are college rules. I've noted through 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:26.560 my own personal observations, um that at about age twenty 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.760 four you get as you start getting really severe hangovers. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.840 I haven't figured out exactly why yet, but that seems 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.840 to be about the age when you switch over from 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:41.000 I can do this constantly to oh God, why why 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.520 I've got the sikes. I have a loss of sense 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.760 of well being. Right, yeah, I'm vomiting diarrhea. I don't 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.200 know why. Maybe that's when puberty ends. There's something to 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.520 do with hormones still floating around in the buddy. If 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.560 you're puberty ended at twenty four, then uh, puberty doesn't 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.600 in your twenties. Uh. My pubity ended when I was 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:01.600 like fourteen, I know, could have started when I was seven. 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:06.960 So seven, Uh where are we now? Are we talking 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.960 about vomiting? Yeah? It turns out that that actually does help. 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:15.920 And also chuck, um, since we have a drinking game 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:20.600 based on this and we're talking about hangovers, allow me okay, 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:25.320 chuck chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck chuck. That should keep them 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:29.320 for a little while. Go ahead, chuck uh. Alcohol. What's 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.920 going on there is it is indeed better to vomit 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.360 because when alcohol is absorbed directly through the stomach, and 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.280 when that happens, you're the lining of your stomach is 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:42.080 gonna become irritated and say, hey, thanks for putting all 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:46.920 this poison in me. And um, it's gonna start secreting, 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.360 secreting hydrochloric acid, right, And the hydrochloric acid is actually 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.360 what makes you vomit. Um here sends messages to the brain. 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:58.560 Is really connected to the brain via hormonal signals which 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.840 don't necessarily end after a pure right and um, yeah, 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.760 your stomach says you've got to get rid of this stuff. 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.840 And yeah, and it turns out that's you know, you 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.240 probably shouldn't make yourself throw up because it's dangerous. It 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.800 could become a problem. If you're drinking so much and 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.440 you're making yourself throw up, you probably do have a problem. 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.240 You should check into a clinic or something. Check into 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.600 Promises in Malibu if you've got the cash. But it 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.600 will make you feel a little better because obviously your 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.720 body is not gonna have to process whatever alcohol is 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.719 still in your stomach. So there you have it. Uh, 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:32.880 what are we on too, now? Buddy? I think we're 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.800 we kind of nails what it is. So should we 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.639 talk about some of the cures that people spout? Yeah, 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:42.040 there are plenty of hangover cures. Everybody's got one. Yeah, 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.120 and actually I'm surprised to find that some of them 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:49.280 actually are real. Now that you understand what causes a hangover, 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:53.280 you can actually identify what will help cure hangover. Sure, 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.960 because really, what's going on is you've expelled electrolytes. It's biology. 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:02.760 You've expelled exactly. You've expelled your natural energy stores. Um, 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:07.919 you are dehydrated and your brain is strung. Yeah, so 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.560 what do you do to make yourself feel better? Chuck? 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.360 My personal favorite's hair of the dog. Well, that helped 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:17.120 me or not? Uh? It will not. You know where 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.320 that comes from? Uh, it's the Bible again, isn't it. 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:23.200 No Nazareth medieval times though the hair of the dog 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.280 that bit you. Supposedly, if you got bit by a 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.920 rabid dog, you would take some of that dog's hair 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.159 and apply it to your wound, and that will cure you. 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:32.760 This is the same culture that buried a cab at 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:36.359 midnight to cure war exactly. So just like that is 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.159 false hair the dog. It's faults as well. Having a 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.800 drink the next day to make yourself feel a little 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:43.639 bit better will not work. Might make you feel a 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.760 bit better in the in the short term, but ultimately 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:48.560 you're just adding more toxins that your body is gonna 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:50.760 have to process, and you're kind of just staving off 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:54.240 the inevitable hangover. Unless you just drink all day again. Sure, 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:58.960 and then you'll have to hang over the following day hangover, Yeah, exactly. Um, 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.760 unless you just keep going until you die, Yeah, and 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:06.919 then you you won the game. I was taking a 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.600 walk with Emily yesterday with the dogs the shows how 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:13.080 twisted I am, And I saw it was eight o'clock 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.080 in the morning, seven thirty in the morning, something like that, 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.240 and there was a guy down the street from us 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.520 in the parking lot, you know, cracking his first King Cobra, 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.200 And I said, you know what, am I said, ninety 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.399 nine times out of a hundred. I see those people 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.680 and I think, God, how could you live your life 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.160 like just getting bombed for the moment you wake up 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:32.880 every day? I said, But every once in a while, 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:36.800 I think what a way to live? She said, she said, 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:41.720 what is wrong with you? Basically doesn't she Well, she 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.399 doesn't let me get up and get drunk every day. 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:45.640 If that's what you mean, that's keeping you in line. Okay, 0:19:45.680 --> 0:20:20.960 she does, Um chuck. One of the things that kills 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:24.080 me is drinking coffee. I learned a long time ago 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:25.840 that if I ever have a hangover, I stay away 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:27.879 from coffee. So I was surprised to find in this 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:32.240 article that actually it does have some benefits agreed, which 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:36.120 are it will actually um alleviate your headache a little 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.000 bit because it's caffeine and that's a vasso constructor, so 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:42.960 it reduces the your blood vessels. It reduces the swelling, 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:45.080 so that'll help a little bit. It'll help cure the 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:48.080 headache some. But it'll dehydrate you because it's a diuretic. 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:49.920 Because it's a diuretic, which is how you really got 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.680 into this trouble in the first place. So stop being stupid. 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:54.760 I would say coffee along with a lot of water 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.920 might be a good idea. Possibly, it's just me, right, Okay, 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:01.720 So what else? Uh, fatty fatty food, fried food the 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:04.320 next day. Yeah, which is odd because I know I 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:11.800 crave fried food the next day. Cheeseburger, bacon chili cheeseburgers, 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.640 like two hamburgers a year, and they're on hangovery days. 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:17.879 She doesn't eat meat beef at all, but when she 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.400 wakes up with a really bad hanger, she's like quarter pounder. 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:23.280 It's very It's strange because obviously she's not the only 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.800 person who experiences that craving. But that doesn't necessarily help 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.560 Anne could actually make you vomit. It could tip the 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:31.879 scales when you've got a bunch of hydrochloric acid in 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:35.280 your stomach. But it could help if you ate a 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:40.040 bacon chili cheeseburger or two bacon chili cheeseburgers before you 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:44.399 started drinking it. Why because it contains oil, and the 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:47.920 fat and the grease will line your stomach and pakes 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:51.000 longer to digest. Absolutely, And in fact, in the Mediterranean 0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:54.520 they have long drank a little bit of olive oil 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.160 before imbibing. Yeah, it's an old thing they do. They 0:21:57.200 --> 0:22:00.080 are not trying that. I'm not either. I like of 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:02.359 but I'm not going to drink a tablespoon of it. No, 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:06.080 me neither. Okay, Uh, how about a banana. I'm just 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:08.879 gonna pull that one out of my head, out of 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:14.040 your banana tree um remedy, yes, okay, loaded with potassium 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:19.440 electrolytes and because remember you lose potassium, which is an electrolyte, 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:21.800 so if you can remember, restore the balance. So banana 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:25.640 will help your hangover as well. Eggs yes, since we're 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:29.879 on breakfast, because they contain cistine, right, which is something 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.879 that's attracted to acid aldehyde. Right, So eggs in a 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:35.480 banana and water would be a great way to start 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:37.120 your morning if you had to hangover. Not just water, 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:41.159 but water loaded with sugar and salt actually right, because 0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:43.399 the carbonation it would do the same thing as it 0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:49.280 did with the beer. So you want uncarbonated water load 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:53.040 of a salt sugar, not a red Bull no, because 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:57.600 it has caffeine. Not an energy drink. Uncarbonated non caffeine 0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:02.640 water with salt sugar, which I think I just described 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:06.879 a supports drink, right, A banana and some eggs or 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:08.480 you know what else you can do? Set of water, 0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:13.679 put some fruit juice in there. Fruit juice. Fruit juice 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:16.000 is the kind of the kind of sugar you want. 0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:19.639 Fruit tose and uh, studies have shown that it increases 0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:22.560 the rate at which your body gets rid of the toxins, 0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:24.760 and uh, that's a good idea. It also gives you 0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:28.080 vitamins of course. Okay, what about um, say, etcetera. A 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:32.680 set of menafin, A seed of menifin is uh, well, 0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:35.639 you you want to avoid etcetera because it has caffeine, right, 0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:39.800
