There are some things you might consider.

I am NOT a doctor, never played one on TV etc. When I noticed some of the problems I was experiencing when I first began drinking, I turned to Google for answers.

I suggest you do the same. You have a stomach pain, read up on it, google it. Blackouts, google that.

Here is how I get info from google. I put whatever the term is on the search line. I add another term and see what shows up.

So, searching for blackouts, I would write this at google: alcoholic blackouts . There is no need to add and or anything else.

Diarrhea, just type: alcohol diarrhea . If you misspell words, google helps you.

If you google some other tips, please share them with us.


These are some things I got answers for at Google:

Eat a good meal daily. Take vitamins, especially a B vitamin complex along with your usual multi-vitamin.

Vitamin C can be useful. I use powdered calcium ascorbate since ascorbic acid really HURTS my stomach. Also, juices preserved with ascorbic acid hurt. I still drink some juice and follow it with 1/4 tsp. baking soda and 100 mg. potassium gluconate to balance the sodium in the baking soda.

L-glutamine might help heal your intestines and silymarin in milk weed thistle might help your liver.

Drink plenty of water. Pee a lot. In the best of circumstances, we likely need 10-12 oz. of water to process an ounce of 80 proof spirits.

This suggests a beer STILL needs to be followed by 2-4 ounces of water.

This suggests that those amateur drinkers, the ones with hangovers and a terrible thirst should not have drunk so much alcohol AND they should have drunk more water. And, well, they should not have drunk at all.

Drunks need to pay attention to this too.

Beer is not water, per se.

Smoking may cause you to drink more. My brand, Kool XL box, well I am highly suspicious of all the ammonia smells in them. And I do drink more...

Drink at regular intervals NOT all at once. I do 2 ounces of vodka an hour plus half an beer unless I am too drunk, then its down to 1 ounce of vodka and a sip of beer.

Sometimes its down to a sip of beer and I have to stop that at times.

Many of the pain killers can kill you if you drink a lot and use them too.

Sleep is good. Try for it. There is plenty of time to drink later.

Coffee will NOT make you un-drunk. Nothing but time will do this.

Coffee may make you somewhat more alert. The problem is you are NOT un-drunk but may think you are. Coffee lies.

Speed lies and kills.

Heroin, fuggit about it.

Cocaine really lies. Cocaine's products: are you sure you want to be a crack head?

Alcohol is cheaper and pretty legal. Stick to booze. Its enough trouble.

If you have other things to add here, please do.
