Turns out electrolytes after drinking are not just gym bro nonsense

I always thought the whole electrolyte thing was kind of overblown. Like yeah sure bro drink your magic powder and become hydrated or whatever. But I went to my friends bachelor party last night and made some elite bad choices. I barely ate all day then ended up having a bunch of vodka shots and some beers because apparently my brain left the group chat after drink three.I got pretty drunk and my friends had to make sure I got home. Before I passed out they kept telling me to drink water and take electrolytes. One of them had magna packets so I mixed one with a big bottle of water and drank it before bed. It has magnesium and electrolytes and no sugar which sounded better than chugging some syrupy sports drink at 2am. I was fully ready to wake up feeling like a dead raccoon in a parking lot. But somehow I woke up way more normal than I expected. Not perfect. I still drank like an idiot. But no brutal headache and no full body regret which is rare for me after a night like that so yeah I guess my annoying responsible friends were right. Eat before drinking. Drink water. Take electrolytes before bed. Maybe do not test your liver like it owes you money.
