I stopped drinking and stopped smoking tobacco, but I got the same kind of "hangover" I used to get after a night of binge drinking on basically nothing but really salt heavy foods.
(Some were salty, then doubly sugary to cover it up, which is so very American)
It spiked my anxiety to 11, probably as an effect of an elevated heart rate?
I used to be much less healthy, but I also often made a lot of decisions I wouldn't make if I could have bought the foods folks told me were healthy with the same ease as a Wendy's hamburger.
I hope one day to go back to Japan, at leas there for about the equivalent of five dollars you could eat a non fancy, but healthy meal, even if you didn't know enough Japanese to navigate some of the more complex dishes -- I forget the name, but they had these hockey puck or triangular things that were rice, seaweed, and a soft boiled egg or something that weren't exactly "low carb" but relatively low glycemic).
Maybe we should find a way to tax overly salty stuff like some places do sugary drinks, so stuff like a rice ball surrounding a hard boiled egg become a stereotypical budget food for students or bloggers or whatever.
- koala_man 4y ago> hockey puck or triangular things that were rice, seaweed, and a soft boiled egg or something Sounds like onigiri: "Onigiri, also known as omusubi, nigirimeshi, or rice ball, is a Japanese food made from white rice formed into triangular or cylindrical shapes and often wrapped in nori."
- dontbenebby 4y agoTHANKS! And sorry for the caps - I'll bookmark it! (I used to keep everything local, because I misunderstood Tor Browser and thought keeping bookmarks in there would make me fingerprintable -- so this Sunday I'm collecting all my old links, tagging them, then preparing to import from Firefox to Tor Browser.) And for anyone else curious, here's a good starting point to read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onigiri https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onigiri
- moistly 4y agoYour efforts to not be fingerprinted unfortunately and ironically make you even more fingerprintable; instead of being one of millions who more or less all look alike, you’re one of a few thousand who are quite unique in their patterns. It’s a Catch-22 dilemma.
- dontbenebby 4y agoYou'd be surprised how often I can tell someone is thrown off by the fact they didn't know about a private communication or a private browsing session. (In the sense that I took measures to MAKE it private) But it's a lot of work, and I tend to get grumpy if I have to take my opsec to 11 for more than a day or so.
- ramchip 4y agoThat's an onigiri. Japanese food feels heavy on salt to me though, soy sauce is everywhere. Even onigiri are rather salty.

Based on my personal experiences in some weird outdoor hobbies, I would say that surprisingly large part of what people call hangover is actually sleep deprivation and dehydration.
- dontbenebby 4y ago>Based on my personal experiences in some weird outdoor hobbies, I would say that surprisingly large part of what people call hangover is actually sleep deprivation and dehydration. I'd believe you, I started drinking a lot of water and it helped a lot, but I also have bad allergies and nothing short of hiring a maid or having a partner or housemate who shares in cleaning of my dwelling will fix that issue.
- sp332 4y agoIt could be simple dehydration, but sodium can aggravate lots of kinds of heart problems. You can ask a doctor about it instead of HN lol.
- dontbenebby 4y agoNot really, they tend to reply to me like Redditors, in real life, it's insufferable.
