Howdy, fellow drinker. Guess what? According to our good friend science, hangovers only increase the strength and fortitude of your desire to drink, much like water on a Gremlin or cocaine in Randy Savage's sinuses.
Howdy, fellow drinker. Guess what?
According to our good friend science, hangovers only increase the strength and fortitude of your desire to drink, much like water on a Gremlin or cocaine in Randy Savage's sinuses.
Here's a visual of that:
A recent study of 386 US college students found that there was no difference in desire to drink between days in which they felt fine and days in which they were hung-over as shit. However, they did note that having a hangover delayed their drinking … by a measly six hours. Which basically meant that they skipped happy hour and went straight to party town.
And, not only do hangovers not dissuade us from drinking more, they encourage us to go for another drink in an attempt to relieve our pain, "hair of the dog" style. Take that, sobriety.
"The message here for clinicians is that it is probably a waste of time to discuss hangovers when trying to motivate a problem drinker to drink less or drink less often," said an expert in response to the findings.
Well, we just wanted to extend a big fat "Thank You" to science for sharing this important finding with us, because now we finally understand why we have kegerator in our fridge instead of food. Viva la alcohol!
