Different kinds of hangovers...

I've decided to share what I've learned about hangovers thus far in my short life. I never really drank to get drunk in college....well, except for second semester senior year. I was pretty much drunk everyday, but pleasantly drunk. But that's not the point. I never really had a hangover in college, maybe one good one, but I had no reason to think about them.

Well, now I've gotten used to waking up Saturday or Sunday morning with a slight hangover (I blame the elevation). And it never stopped me from working out that morning. I live by the Lady Gaga philosophy: work out no matter if I'm too tired, too hungover, to lazy, etc... Well, normally it's a beer hangover. This morning, I learned wine hangovers are a little different.

Last night was rough, to say the least, so when I woke up with a little hangover, I wasn't surprised. I drank some water, ate some breakfast and lazed around for a few hours. I decided I needed to work off the cupcakes from last night and went to the gym. BAD. IDEA. Apparently, exercise makes a wine hangover worse. Because now I feel like shit and grocery shopping was the biggest feat I've done in a while. UGH. I bought a Gatorade and am hoping to kick this in the butt. BUT DAMN. Lesson learned: beer hangovers can be worked out. Wine hangovers cannot. They are best handled by laying around until it decides to leave. I can only assume hard liquor hangovers are closer to the latter.

If only I wasn't so dedicated to work out in the mornings...or drink so much at night. Haha.
