Creatine and Alcohol

**knb1989** · 04-21-2008, 06:27 PM

Really random thought.. but will taking creatine decrease the severity of a hangover?

It was my prom on friday and I got pretty plastered, but I lifted that morning and took a protein shake with creatine and I felt fine in the morning.

Since the dehydration causes part of the hangover, was just wondering if the water retaining element of creatine would reduce the hangover.

Just a thought that entered my mind lol : )

Creatine will make it worse. If you are already dehydrated form alcohol then where is the creatine going to pull water from???

Drank the shake at like 10 A.M., didn't start drinking till like 8 PM

If I workout the day of and day after going out I don't get a hangover. I think keeping your body sweating and working out it can process out the alcohol better. Steam room after cardio the morning after going out also helps a lot!

What other supps were you taking? I know if I take a couple of grams of Vit C, and a multi-v, and a bottle of water before bed after a night of drinking then I don't feel "as" bad as I would have.

Exactly! You need to consume at least a gallon of water a day on creatine otherwise it will start taking the stored water from your organs which you don't want.
