You said it!! Never have a hangover......because I have never taken a drink in my life...........and I sure feel the better for it. Try Martinelli's grape /cider. SUPER STUFF!!!!!CHEERS to you all...
"My understanding is that each alone can burden the liver, but when combined is when they're dangerous. Apparently it has to do with the fact that the liver is already under stress from dealing with the alcohol and it doesn't take much acetomenphen to do the damage."
That's what I was trying to get said, but you were clearer.
"Found a couple of articles on webMD, and it seems there's still some dispute about the toxicity of acetomenophen especially is regular doses. In high doses (like ten+ caps) there's no argument that it does deliver toxins to the liver and do damage."
That's Tylenol alone. Mixed with alcohol, the picture is entirely different.
"Back in the days when I was indulging in ethyl alcohol imbued consumables (in other words, back when I was a drunk) I used to huff O2 from my Dad's Oxy-Acetylene setup."
Guess I'm the duty doom-sayer on this thread.
You should never, never, never inhale any gasses from any source not cleared for human consumption. Even tiny amounts of contaminants can kill you.
Beer, Football and greasy food.
I am pretty sure welding O2 and medical O2 are dispensed from the same bulk tanks...
But possibly not under the same conditions, and there is no reason to be meticulous about preventing contamination of welding tanks.
Yep. The 'Stews' used to used the O2 on planes after a bad night. . .
Excerpt from link: Ibuprofen (Motrin) has been reported to cause severe liver injury in people with hepatitis C.
After three maximum discomfort hangovers, I learned my tipping point and have stayed on this side of it ever since.
"Ibuprofen (Motrin) has been reported to cause severe liver injury in people with hepatitis C."
There certainly is a lot of contradictory information out there on Hep C.
The man I trust is here:
http://www.hepatitisdoctor.com
There's more good information there than anywhere else, I think.
This man has made helping veterans with service-connected Hep C a personal crusade, to his financial detriment. And saved my life along the way (not to in anyway diminish God's role, or that of Our Lady).
It would be a good thing if anybody wanted to go here:
http://hcvets.com/
and sign the petition to protest the VA's treatment of the only doctor who's acting like he cares about vets.
Absolutely its the hydro carbon residue in the tank itself that causes any impurities..
Aviation O2,Welding O2 and Medical O2 should be from the same source...the only difference I am aware of is medical O2 gets
moisture added so patients arent dehydrated by breathing it.
Medical O2 is expensive and in most states you have to have a script to get it...
We had it in the dive shop as part of our first aid and rescue kit and got refills without a script.
So naturally at hangover time it got used...:)
We never took students out without full O2 tanks standing by though...
Can't honestly say it did a dang thing for hangovers though.
