Why do I always have hangovers?

1. You are a surprisingly adept sleepwalker
2. You’re sick.
3. It’s all in your head.
4. Aliens

Maybe you’re suffering from chronic dehydration. Start drinking more water or gatorade, and maybe consult a doctor if this has been going on for a while.

When you say “hangover,” what are your symptoms?

not enough water

They say that the best way to prevent hangovers is to stay drunk. You could try that.

Make sure to get your vitamin B12 as well as drinking plenty of liquids. If it persists for more than a few days, get in touch with you doctor.

Hair of the dog, eh DarkScribe?

Have you investigated the possibility of a vitamin B12 deficiency? What are your symptoms? How often do you drink to excess?

I agree with otehr flutherers it sounds like you may be dehydrated, make sure you drink a pint of water before you go to bed and make sure you are eating enough.

Also do you feel dizzy/ sick it could be something to do with your ears, I am unsure what the medical term is, possibly something like this : http://www.etete.com/mdd/knowledge.html It involves people feeling seasick/ motion sick all the time

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_sickness says this on motion sickness

Hope you feel better soonx

I agree with the dehydration theory. I suggest that you focus on the basics of adequate hydration, quality nutrition, and consistent sleep patterns for a few weeks to see if your symptoms improve, before considering other diagnoses.

I am an Audiologist (hearing and balance specialist), and while @sakura is correct that there are inner-ear disorders that can make a person feel drunk, you do not mention imbalance or vertigo as part of what you experience (and as disconcerting as dysequilibrium is, I believe you would have mentioned it if you had it).

Should your symptoms persist despite making lifestyle changes to make wellness a priority, then ask again, and be very detailed in your description of your symptoms.

There is a reason why in the old days folks often left a pitcher of water and a glass on the nightstand. It is healthy.

Thanks @hearkat I’d heard of the problem but didn’t know a lot about it, but thought I’d mention it just in case!

@DarkScribe A bit of the old Hair of the Dog works like a charm.
