Is it possible to have a hangover from eating too much meat? Discuss.

  1. Yes it is. I have about three pounds of chill sloshing around in my belly, and it is not a pleasant feeling. One was called “Oppenheimer’s Lament”, so do the math.

    I really should have taken a personal day.

  2. Yes.

    For our Superbowl party, we failed to buy wings until the day of, and the grocery store was sold out of wings, so we bought drumsticks instead. We used that recipe Paul Constant recommended and attempted to eat just as many drumsticks as we’d have eaten wings.

    It was delicious but now life is terrible.

  3. Despite all of my attempts to make much healthier delicious snax than you would usually have for a Super Bowl party, and the fact that I didn’t eat that much, I still felt like shit last night afterwards.

  7. Y’know, I had forgotten all about the super bowl until I went to the grocery store about 1pm. It took me a few minutes to figure out what was different, and then I realized the store was full of men buying meat.

  8. @1 I mean cheeseburgers and several kinds of not-metaphorical ethnic sausages. Or as we pronounce it in Chicago, “sah-sidges.” Never even got around to trying to cook wings, which are not meat formally speaking: they’re skin, gristle and bone. Not metaphorical.

  9. Heh, other than heartburn?

    Seriously, eating too much of anything can leave you sluggish and weighted down. Because of the high fat and protein content, I’d imagine that burgers and sausages just take that much longer to digest.

    The solution? Coffee and salads all day.

  13. I ate my weight in chili with tons of cheese and sour cream (organic—one of the things where it really, really tastes better) and guac, and I drank 17 gallons of cheap beer, and I feel kind of great. Am I a Super Bowl SUPER HUMAN?

  15. I feel pretty good myself. A couple of G&Ts before dinner, a couple of glasses of sherry after. Hmm, I appear to have turned into someone’s grandmother.

  17. @17 Yes, and I’m feeling it right now.

    There is a large mess of chili, pork rinds, bourbon and Tecate that is slowly making it’s way through my guts. Ouch.

  18. Just had a lovely salad for lunch. Ick. But perhaps nature’s broom will take care of this logy feeling. Or is it hair of the dog time? Can a hot dog cure this sinking feeling?

  19. Chicago Fan: Nature’s broom? I don’t think I want to know. You should have had a little more chili and guacamole around 9 p.m., accompanied by a carrot (vitamins!) and a glass of sparkling wine (leftover from the new sensation the Venus Flytrap: bubbles, o.j., and grapefruit juice), then a couple glasses of water and a brief walk, then early bed. Worked like a charm: I am ALMOST READY FOR MORE CHILI. And look, it’s almost lunchtime!

  20. Is it possible that eating too much meat (and cheese sticks) will cause you to have vivid dreams of Danny DeVito walking in on you looking at porn, so you quickly pull up weather.com and watch weather patterns with him? Discuss…
