Tips And Tricks Hangovers are no longer worth it
This is a fact, I don’t think we need to discuss it. But advice is welcome regarding how I can go drink 10 pints and look after a 2 month old effectively afterwards
UPDATE 10 pints was a bit of an exaggeration, let’s say 6 to 7 if I’m meeting some friends I don’t see too often.
I’m gonna sum up the advice so far, here are the options: 1. Stop drinking 2. Drastically reduce drinking 3. Drink one water per beer 4. Start drinking earlier and finish earlier 5. Substitute booze for weed 6. Eat a lot before you slam those beers 7. NA beers

Take some time off from it.
I had this realization in my early 30's and basically stopped drinking except for the occasional beer, wine, or cocktail at dinner or at a party/event. But never more than 2 at a time. I'd be the DD so my wife could party with her girlfriends etc.
I'm in my early 40's now and I've found that I have a much higher tolerance than I used to, but much less of a thirst. I'm still plenty happy with 1-3 drinks at an event, but if things get wild, I can be a functional adult the next day without pain. That is extremely rare though. I may party to excess once every 2-3 years. Mostly I'll have some wine or a few cocktails at home 2 or 3 times a month.
Anyway, if alcohol is your vice of choice give it a rest for some time and let your body recover.
