I had soooo much fun at the wedding on Saturday (maybe a little too much fun, if you know what I mean), and man, did I pay the price on Sunday! I showed up to our post-wedding brunch looking like a zombie. 
I'm feeling like my old self today, so now I can laugh about it. (Although I think I'll be sticking to the non-alcoholic beverages for the next few days. LOL) Anyone else party a little too hard on the big day?
I voted "no b/c I didn't drink" but I meant to say "no, I had a couple but not too many" EVEN THOUGH I have not had my wedding day yet,
I don't drink enough to get hung over anymore because as I've aged my hangovers have become unbearable. I mean torture and in some cases to the hospital for IV Gravol b/c I can't stop puking.
More than 3 drinks and I get a slight hang over and more than one glass of red wine and i'm a gone-er.
Don't get me wrong, I used to drink like a fish in my 20s/early 30, but hitting 30 the hangovers got worse with each birthday.
I had a fuzzy day after day, but it might have been from staying up til 4am......and I usually go to bed at 9pm!
No, I had a few drinks but I didnt really finish any of them because I was constantly moving around!
I was more tired than hungover. I didn't really have much to eat or drink the day of the wedding, but we were up until almost 4am. So the next day, I was pretty exhausted and probably looked hungover!
ah ha... I wish there was a choice [ I will be... ] because I know I'll be wasted when I leave the reception (which means the next day I'll sleep till 2pm before leaving on our 22 hour drive)... FI and I decided on sour apple martinis... one of my favorites... =D
ugh is there an ouch option.
DH and I partied like rockstars. We managed to get up and go antique shopping the next day though (so at least we were productive)
Ughh! I'm worried about this! I hate being hungover and I really don't want to be hungover on my honeymoon!
@Luckygir15: I follow these rules to minimize my hangovers... drink a full bottle of water before bed and eat something like pizza (even if just a little bit) then set your alarm for an hour before the time you WANT to wake up and see how you feel... if it's bad take 2 advil liquid gels and go back to sleep. When I do this and am ready to be up for the day I have no problems! I used this trick when holidays fell on week days and I couldn't get off work the next day lol.
@Ms. Sorbet: I was hungover on the day of the wedding because of the rehearsal dinner. I got my drink on the night before the wedding, then didn't drink much day of. Recovering from that hangover was brutal because we were up early and had my hair and makeup done with around 9a.m. I sipped Sprite and ate Saltines throughout all of the primping. My stylist was very understanding during that. During the limo ride after the ceremony, I had a glass of champagne and a Mike's Hard Lemonade. For most of the reception, I drank Sprite. Near the end, I drank some.
@Luckygir15: Drink Pedialyte before going to bed and after waking up in the morning. It's my hangover cure. Pedialyte is essentially Gatorade without all of the sugar. Before an epic week of drinking with some friends, I stocked up on Pedialyte. A lady near me checking out saw my haul and said "Aww, those poor kids." Meaning, me with my own children sick as dogs needing Pedialyte. I corrected her and said it's my hangover cure.
@Oneeleven: I have been getting worse and worse hangovers as I get older too. I'm not even 30 yet and every year since college I seem to tolerate fewer and fewer drinks in a night without feeling terrible the next day. Most of the time I'm actually afraid of having more than 3 drinks for fear of the consequences. 
So it's likely I will have way too few drinks to be hungover.
Thankfully I could say "no" DH and I don't drink.. along with the major majority of our guests so we didn't have alocohol.
I certainly don't miss the days of having hangovers though... lol
I was exhausted but not hungover. I think after-wedding brunches are torture devices - we definitely did not have one. We slept in!!!
This is kind of why I declined my Mom's invitation to host brunch the next day. Not planning on getting too crazy but want to be able to sleep in the next day and relax for awhile!
I drank some, not a ton and not as much as I can on other nights, but I also didnt eat or drink much water so I did feel a bit hung over the next day. Nothing terrible though.
No hangover. I think I had one glass of champagne all night. I wasn't trying to limit myself; I was just up and around the whole time and didn't think about it. I also never made it to our carving station, which I'm still bummed about because a year later I'm still hearing how great it was.
A little hung over. We went to a bar and stayed until bar time after the reception, so the next morning was a little rough. The worst part was our bag was in my vehicle at the reception site. DH had to get a ride to get our clothes the next morning in his dress shirt and tux pants:)
Despite our open bar and the fact that I LOVE to drink at other people's weddings, both DH and I hardly had anything to drink beside coke/water all night (like half a glass of champange and a few sips of a beer). We were so caught up in the adrenaline and emotions of the day that no alcohol was needed!
So no, we definitely were not hung over the next day. :)
We had our engagement do a few weeks ago. Both of us struggled to speak the next day lol. I honestly don't remember drinking more than a few glasses of wine though! (Don't get me wrong, I normally deserve the killer hangovers that follow). I'm really going to try to be restrained at the wedding though, as I want to remember everything. My FI rarely drinks, but he was really going for it at the party, doing loads of shots and as I think a PP said, 'partying like a rockstar'. Bless him.
I was exhausted, but not hungover--I only had a few drinks over the course of the night and drank lots of water, and made sure to eat during the reception too. We had a day-after brunch the next day and then took a loooong nap after
I'd have to vote "other" because I don't get drunk, neither does my FI. Seriously, we drink, but we don't get drunk. Nor have I ever had a hangover. Even have almost a whole bottle of wine and several mixed drinks (one including A LOT of gin, which isn't a 'light' liquor.) My FI can drink his friends under the table and not even have a buzz (there is photographic proof and lots of witnesses to this, too).
Yeah, we're not human, lol. So, even though the wedding isn't till next year, I can definitely say a hangover won't be a problem for US. Being tired due to staying up till the wee hours of the morning is a distinct possibility, though, lol.
For my first wedding which was held at a Tiki Bar... with full open bar... I had PLENTY of drinks, but woke up feeling just fine.
I expect to drink far less this time, mostly because I don't want to be really dehydrated for day after pictures, and we're not havign a full open bar ;)
I voted other because I wanted to drink but with being early 2nd trimester pregnant I didn't. (Well I had 1/2 of glass of champagne.)
I said other because I wasn't hungover since I only had a couple of drinks throughout the entire day, but I was so so SO EXHAUSTED since the day after my wedding marked 4 straight days of no sleep from excitement/nervousness. I actually felt physically ill the day after my wedding and had to excuse myself from my in-laws because I hadn't slept in SO LONG.
This is why I recommend going on your honeymoon RIGHT AWAY so you can just relax/space out with your new husband instead of going another day in charge of entertaining other.
haha, what a great question...
I know that I would LOVE to drink a lot at my wedding, but I'm just going to keep reminding myself that this is ONE wedding where I really shouldn't get even close to being drunk...I can do that at every wedding for the rest of my life if I want! ;-)
Not the day after, but on the day of! Too many drinks the night before the wedding, but had a great time!
I didn't drink too much at the wedding itself, but afterwards we were at our hotel and that's where the extra drinks took a toll(theafterparty). It was an early wedding, that's why. I don't remember the end of the night at the hotel. DH woke me up at 4:30 am to drink water so I wouldn't be so hungover later, which helped.
I voted other.
I'm not normally a big drinker, and haven't had a drink in 3 or 4 months, but I won't be drinking at all at our reception because at that point I'll be 12 weeks pregnant, lol.
I voted Nah, I had a couple of drinks. It was a little more than a couple, but they were spread out over such a long period of time I didn't even really get very tipsy, until the end but that was more just exhausted I think.
I was a bit of a zombie the next day, but it was just exhaustion, not a hangover. Other than sleepy I woke up that morning feeling pretty great.
I don't drink, and especially didn't want to on our wedding day. Alcohol gives me migraines, and I didn't want a migraine on our wedding night!
I didnt have time to get drunk so I wasn't hung over.. haha. I went to the bar quite a bit but I think its more because I kept losing my drinks when I put them down to talk to people than I was drinking them.
I had a slight headache from the homemade wine. I totally didn't expect to drink a few glasses of wine during the dance!
I had a couple drinks, but knew we had an 11am gift opening and then were flying out to our honeymoon the next day. Plane hangover = gross, so I was careful.
Not at all. I had a few drinks the night before, but I took about a half hour nap once we got back to our room and slept it all off. Then, I was good to go. I've actually never been hungover in my life.
I haven't had my wedding yet, but I don't really think I'll be too concerned with drinking.
At our engagement party, I had time for like 2 glasses of champagne. And I've already decided I would drink beer, which I don't get too drunk on.
I was moving around soo much that I only had a glass of wine while DH had like 3. WTH!!! I'm the wine drinkder in the family.
I voted other because I had a good buzz going for most of the night but since we danced so hard and stayed up so late I was practically sober by the time we went to bed.
