    I've always dropped at least a couple #s after a night of heavy drinking (heavy=enough to have a hangover the next day). One time it was so bad, I was down 8 #'s, but that was after a lot of vomit and other bodily substances made their way out. I don't drink enough to get trashed anymore, but even if I have a few glasses of wine, I'm still down at least a # the next day.

    Sounds like dehydration.

    it's typical after binge drinking. it will be up again tomorrow. make sure to drink LOTS of water - this is dehydration and it's bad.

    you lost water not fat.

    Yeah I suspected dehydration but 2.5kg seems excessive :S

    2..5 kg fluid loss is not excessive, it can be anything up to 5 kgs

    p.s. dehydration is what causes hangovers to be as bad as they are for those who get them.
