When drinking.. how do you stay hydrated?

[nocturn4l3030]

last time I drank.. my chest started feeling very tight and i didn't exactly feel too well.. found out that it was because i wasn't hydrated and beer only dehydrates you further..

so when you're drinking- especially you beer drinkers -how the hell do you do it? do you guys not feel any side effects from vaping when you're downing beers and drinking alcohol? or are you guys seriously alternating between a bottle of beer and a cup of water

i'm trying to convert a friend into vaping too.. but he drinks daily and pretty heavily on the weekends.. and now i'm thinking he won't even be a good convert-to-vaping candidate because of it.

I hydrate myself with either soda or juice. But, I only drink liquor though.

hmm ya that sounds alot easier to do...i guess this more pertains to beer drinkers then...like me unfortunately lol

I've reached an age where, if I'm out, I am drinking good scotch. That said, I went out this past weekend with my younger cousins, who are still doing the "bucket" of SMG. What I found is, sit close to a bathroom. Seriously, you need water and with the beer I was ...... like every 30 minutes. Besides that, and having to say excuse me in the middle of chatting up some fine lady, I didn't have any problems doing this. I just had the waitress bring me a bottle of water everytime she came to get our empties.

For me, I look at the positive. Yeah, its embarrassing to have to pee so often but the PV gives strangers (and I mean female strangers) a great excuse to stop by and say "what is that"? I now carry around 510 or ego mouth things when I'm out (those plastic sanitary ones, I got them from either Health Cabin or Heaven Gifts) and I load up a cart or bring a bottle of a really good tasting sweet juice and swap it in when they stop by and let them try it. My game has never been better.

And there you have it: E-cigarettes can make you a better playa.

I can go an entire night of beer drinking without any water. I just try to hydrate myself with electrolytes before I drink. I also chug a bottle before I go to bed to avoid any hangovers.

Tell your friend to chug a bottle of Gatorade before he vapes and drinks. I suggest you try it also. You can even get the huge cans of powder mix. Thats what I do. (Make sure to mix the water and Gatorade before you drink lol)

Good luck

It takes weeks to properly hydrate yourself. Maybe just try to stay up on your water intake all together. And maybe double up on fluid intake the day of your planned drinking date.

Every couple or three beers, drink a glass of water. It helps.

Having said that, I do drink several beers daily and can tell if I'm getting a bit dehyrated. The water also cleans the pallet a bit, makes the next beer taste better.

water before you go to bed... usually how i avoid a hang over, just drink allot n keep some close by for when you wake up

That's good advice too. My pals were medics in the Army. They would hook each other up with IV's after a night of drinking. Said it worked perfect. I've also met a few firemen that do the same thing lol.

I just drink more beer.

What kind of juice are you using and what device (carto/atty)? I find that some juices and cartomizers make me thirstier than others.

My old trick for hangover prevention:

Pop a thiamine tablet before drinking (it's vitamin B-1 and very cheap), take another couple while drinking and another with a vitamin C and a sports drink (as much as you can drink) before bed. Take another thiamine (it's water-soluble, so you can't OD) with more sports drink the next morning. Hangovers aren't just dehydration, they are a result of your liver getting overwhelmed with acetaldehyde, and the thiamine helps it keep up.

I don't think the drink-water-while-you-drink thing works at all - especially when drinking beer, which is already full of water - because alcohol is a diuretic, so you will just be spending more time in the restroom and further depleting your electrolytes.

good advice everyone, hope this works out for my alcoholic (lol) friend

I drink alot of sweet tea seems to help alot for my up to 10ML a day chain vaping.

????? Alcohol dehydrates with or without vaping, and it's much more efficient than VG or PG at it. If you drink plenty of coffee and or tea (good diuretics) the rest of the time it's even worse.
