Is the idea of someone not drinking that foreign to you?

yes it does. I weigh myself every single morning. And I do drink.
Try this: weigh yourself every morning for 1-2 weeks. Then go out and drink heavily one night, no excessive food intake. Just what you’d normally eat. Weigh yourself the next morning. See how that weigh-in compares to your ‘normal’ morning weight.
It happens because the diuretic effect of the alcohol is greater than the hydration of the water in the drinks. You piss out more than you take in, period. Quantity doesn’t matter.
No , the idea that someone is so fucking hardheadedly obnoxious and arrogant that they think they know everything is foreign to me. Like the guy probably read something about drinking and losing water weight on a bodybuilding forum cough cough and automatically assumes this is pure fact, fuck the nuance, fuck everything.
This will fly In the face of everything I’ve ever witnessed, experienced and read.
I mean a quick google take:
It’s also really common to retain water after a night (or day) of drinking alcohol. Alcohol acts first as a diuretic, meaning that while you are drinking you’ll urinate more. Then the day after, as your body is dehydrated from all that drinking, it will retain fluid to make up for the loss.
you’re quoting Vogue Australia.
Nice work.

what else do you want me to quote? I just said a quick google take. You want more?
Most of the effects of a hangover are caused by dehydration. I did a paper on it many moons ago, as part of my bachelors, if that adds any weight to my claim.
Mine was just a nutrition course during my undergrad, but similar conclusions.

While it may be tempting to drink less when you’re suffering from fluid retention , a low fluid intake causes you to retain fluid whereas keeping well hydrated promotes good kidney function. Drinking lots of alcohol or too many caffeinated drinks may lead to dehydration and cause fluid retention .
I don’t want to be rude, but your quoted source states that you will be dehydrated the day after drinking. It’s there in the words you quoted.

Are you assuming that I’m saying alcohol doesn’t cause dehydration? This isn’t what I said. I said that people that DRINK, actually drink, as in they enjoy to drink and drink often, will end up with bloat face.
Everyone I’ve ever known in all my life that drinks on weekends all have a bloated face. ALL OF THEM. Now do I have to constantly define exactly what I mean every time I say something? because if that is the case then the issue is not with me, it is with this fucking place.
I mean, dudes in here drinking alcohol and carefully monitoring themselves is another ball game, but again, I’d assume with such an intelligent group cough cough they’d know what it is meant by “GOING OUT TO DRINK”
why do you only hang out with fat people?

flip: of course, duh, you didn’t know? beer can be a great tool for shedding water weight.
girl: oh ok but I meant, do you drink?

what are you weighing right here? and how tall?
I actually mostly drink beer and whiskey. I work next door to a killer brewery in Dallas. If you’re ever in Dallas, try anything from Lakewood Brewery.
I think maybe the issue we’re talking about involves timing, in regards to bloat vs dehydration. Just a thought. I’m really not discounting your observations. I’ve also never experienced anything resembling the moon-face myself, even when taking things that give other people this effect.
I also have a tendency to under-eat when I binge drink, which is basically the opposite of what a lot of people who drink heavily do. If you consume a lot of salty things (IE bar food) at the same time, I could see how you could end up with simultaneous tissue bloat and systemic dehydration.
I used to be a pretty big time drinker and never had a bloated face.

Yea I never did either. I drank a lot too. When I was at my worst, it was every day, almost all day. Bingeing constantly. I would actually drink at bars until I vomited, and then I’d just keep drinking. I’m not talking about once or twice either. More like 3-4 times a week.
Life wasn’t great then, lol.
