Then again, half a dozen could be hardly anything if you're spacing them out over the night. You'd probably be fine just by slamming a couple of glasses of water before bed and maybe having a sports drink with breakfast.

When I'm hung over I would not race because a) I'll ride like crap and not be competitive and b) I'd be a danger to myself and other riders. If you aren't fit to race don't race would be my advice.

The common theme here is Vitamin B. Consuming alcohol apparently massively depletes your stores of it.Le Mong wrote:Vegimite toast before bed.
I don't drink alcohol any more, but on the rare occasion I did taking a tablet or two really helped with the tiredness the following day. Red wine was a killer though! Hard to completley mitigate the effects of that stuff.
Depending on how much you drink and how late you get home, I would seriously consider not riding. For me, after 6 beers, no way.

When you breathe, your lungs take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. This process is remarkably efficient. At sea level, healthy non-smokers can have up to 99 per cent oxygen saturation in their blood haemoglobin. (Heavy smokers at sea level can be at the equivalent of 5000 feet, and being intoxicated or hungover is reckoned to be a penalty of 2000 feet.)

I stupidly still smoke (progressively cutting down - Nov 20 quit day). So I am already at an equivalent of 2km?matt.blak wrote:I just found this reference to Hypoxia & hangovers - Heavy smokers at sea level can be at the equivalent of 5000 feet, and being intoxicated or hungover is reckoned to be a penalty of 2000 feet.
Damn it. Hate to think what happens if i was to actually climb something of appreciable height then.
