mon you need to just drink a large coconut water before you go to bed. It's magic. You may wake up drunk but dehydrated (which most people call a hangover) you will not!

How large is large? Isn't coconut water a natural diuretic from the standpoint of the user maybe having to get up a few times to pee during the course of their evening sleep?

Your quality of sleep after excessive drinking is bad anyway as you won't enter a state of REM.
I even get irregularities in my heart rhythm and a very uncomfortable feeling when I had a few too many. So I won't drink too much anymore.

Better replace the electrolytes and drink some more water when you get up to pee.

I drank coconut water (I couldn't stomach the sports drink anymore) after my marathon to replenish the electrolytes. It was heavenly good

I've tried this before and it does help, but a hangover is more than dehydration.

Since I was staying hydrated and still getting hangovers, I decided to look into it. Here's a list of ways alcohol causes hangovers (dehydration was listed first but didn't fit on the screenshot)

Heron Pharmaceuticals (HRTX) is developing a drug that is injected into the area of surgery that numbs/kills the pain over the most painful time after a surgery 72 hours. This drug will stop the need for many prescriptions to written for people who have surgery. Thus stopping a percentage of people trying/starting on an opioid. This could be a very good thing for this problem!

I know a little about opioid addiction since ive been on them for over a decade. I started off with 20mg a day Norco. Several years later I was up to 240 mg a day oxy and 80 mg Opana
a day. When i had a heart attack one doc told me he would not give me that much dope if just had both legs pulled off. My pain doc got in trouble with DEA and gave up the practice. So now my primary care gives me 30mg a day Methadone and 60mg Norco a day...not much..... Is it for pain...yeah the pain of not having W/D is like having the worst case of flu ever and have both legs broke and untreated at the same time....its something i would not wish on anybody. The pain of WD is so horrible I have heard of people killing themselves over it.I sure thought about hard myself. Im sure I will be on Methadone the rest of my life which with all i have wrong is less than 10 years maybe more like 5 left. Methadone lets me live as normal of life as I ever hope to have....you dont get high off it...the pain just slowly goes away. Its really a great drug for chronic pain.....the bad part is you never get off of it....and of course being in pain 24 hours a day you are going to be depressed

Feel for you, Greg.
Many years ago when I was a Counsellor, I would have clients come in to my office and you could see the pain written on their face. They were on strong meds but it only took the edge off. I used to wonder how the hell they could get out of bed every day.
I have only had a couple of severe pain events in my life but they gave me a whole new appreciation for what it must be like when that pain is still there a week, a month, a year on.
Respect.
