do you guys think IVF will reduce hangover if you are already sufficiently hydrated?

maybe if it does, its the increase in cardiac output that may make a difference? or some change in cerebral blood flow that makes the difference?

you pee a lot b/c alcohol is an adh antagonist....ibuprofen reduces the amount of blood your kidney sees by constricting the affarent arterioles....could the ibuprofen work b/c you are peeing less?

I'd be intersted to hear if anybody believes these things work for other physiological reasons...i suspect they may....if you don't puke, you shouldn't get THAT dehydrated....we never get hungover after sweating in the sun or on the beach (scenarios where some dehydration happens)

well I don't think there's anything you can do (that I know of) to detoxify alcohol faster, but you can help prevent toxic metabolites from building up.

IIRC doesn't EtOH metabolize to acetaldehyde?

yeah I was going to write more but ended up finding a pretty good summary on wikipedia so I'll just link that instead of whatever psuedo-explanation I was gonna come up with.

why is this stuff so interesting when exams are coming up but endocrine phys + 1 billion other things so tedious???

NO GUYS - you have to prepare before the EVENT -
1) preop -drink 2 shots of olive oil, 1 ranitidine, celebrex 200 mg poX1 (please don't take Lyrica)
2) intraop - drink clear liquids. of course (baby miller) fundamentals don't mix the elixirs
3) postop - SEX (black box FDA - no no VIAGRA side effect headache)

PS : don't smoke lights. Marlboro read 100 intraop is OK , and one post op.
