Hangover cure

[xkittyx]

Having suffered the worst hangover ever this weekend I was wondering what secret miracle cures you have that always get rid of your hangover?

For me it's a shower, doing my make up, going to the shops and getting a bottle of isotonic drink and a packet of Flamin hot monster munch!

Works every time!!

[Zweee]

I suffer from very very bad hangovers... mainly because i drink far far too much. However i am lucky in that whenever i do drink alot i will almost always, without fail, wake up at around 5 30 - 7. Get up, drink about 4 pints of water and then go back to sleep.
It may not be nice, i certainly dont look pretty at that time ( :P ) but it sure as hell makes me feel better when i wake up.

That, and spending the whole day in my dressing gown watching films.

i rarely get hangovers, because i don't drink enough, but on braniac they said that good old full english breakfast did the trick nicely. hair of the dog only delays a hangover

congratulations. you have been targeted by operation pixie (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37932). the troops are coming

My favourite hang-over cure is... wait for it...
Not to get drunk in the first place :D

Failing that, i just sleep all day and try not to let any light into the room, for fear of melting.
Sure you waste a whole day, but you don’t need to sleep the following night.
So you can get drunk again.

Wash and repeat.

Depends on the circumstances.

On holiday - Best cure is another Beer

At home - 2 toast, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, beans, fried tomato. Then off to the gym a couple of hours later for a nice work out.

Although I have currently given up alcohol. Oh, and food that is bad for me. So the above is all useless to moi. (well, apart from the gym)

Experimental Hangover Cures:

- Bacon Double Cheeseburger. Success
- Leftover Ice Cream + Bread. Success
- Downing 1 litre of Orange Juice. Failed
- Drinking lots of water before bed. Success*
- Waking up in an odd house and not recognising anyone. Failed
- Camping out in a park overnight. Failed
- Cheese and Ham Sandwich. Made me sick

It would seem that doing something that would usually make you sick does the trick for me.

*Although if your sober enough to be able to get water into a glass, your hangover probably wont be that bad.

[Shave]

also, i find that the best way to cure a hangover before it happens (ie. when you've stopped drinking but haven't gone to sleep yet) is ice cream. we managed to get through two tubs between about eight of us at one party

[xkittyx]

I like that idea shane... getting to eat lots of ice-cream and having a reason!!

Yummers!

Drinking clearer alcohol.

[Tweekish]

I heard that if its cold enough to have snow around, if you stick your face in snow it helps you sober up a tad. This is probably one of those things that someone has told me when im drunk because "It'll be class to see her shove her head in some snow!"

Apart from that, I always try to drink lots of water before I go to bed. If im too drunk to get water into glass, drinking straight from the tap will do.

OMG. I've done that so many times, stumbled home, needed a drink and either not been able to get a glass or been just too lazy too and drank from the tap...

I'm SUCH a lady!!

[argh]

Sleep is the only thing that I've found to help me. It's pretty much if I don't sleep enough, I'll be very hung over and spend a portion of the day puking. If I do sleep enough, I'll be just fine.

Ah yes, those can be very interesting. I was once told that if I sniffed a fridge it would sober me up....people are so considerate.

[Chassisbot]

175 ml Cream Soda
175 ml Raspberry Drinking Yoghurt
2 fizzy Blackcurrant vit C tablets.

Mix in a pint glass. Watch the fizz. Drink. Go back to bed.

A hangover means you are dehydrated. You need water and salt (which is one of the reasons a greasy fry up is a good cure for a hangover) so to avoid having a hangover in the first place make sure you drink a couple of pints of water and have something to eat, even if it is just a sandwhich, before going to bed.

Then make sure you have some water or pop next to the bed in case you wake up thirsty during the night.

If you have a hangover then it's tough. Your going to have to suffer for a while. To speed up the recovery drink lots of water, have a multi-vitamin tablet with some food (to help it get into your system faster) and take some medication to ease the symptoms, alchaseltzer (sp?) for example.

[Psychokilla]

I usually try to make myself sick before going to bed if i am extremely drunk, i find that it helps alot and it also cuts down on the chance of being sick in the bedroom when the room starts spinning.

I hear in the land of scot, the irn bru is regarded as a hang over cure. Not sure if it actually works though, though it's packed full of colouring and e-numbers so it probably does at least make you mildly active.

[Vladimir]

Well i cant seem to find a way to cure my hangover. I never have a headache but i simply feel like shit the whole next day. But basically all i want is a good and loooong sleep.

Drink water helps, because the hangover does appear because of lack of water.

Oh well, the cure i find the best is less drinking. A beer or two...enough to make me slightly happier :)

[sack the chimp]

Water, and lots of it. Plus a fry up. And a multivit.

And hair of the dog does have its place - if you've rehydrated, eaten, and things are still not right, a pint (just one, mind) can be just the trick. Yes, its extending the hangover, but if you've had some superhuman amount of booze the night before, a single pint takes the edge off your hangover - makes it more of a gradual thing. Of course, if you just carry on boozing then the next day you'll have an even worse hangover!

[Chavvy]

I find not sobering up in the first place is the best cure.

[Lozzie Stardust]

Sarnie & some water before bed :) sorted XD

[Cherokee Red]

Before I go to bed, I eat lots of pasta or ready salted crisps.
I always have a few glasses or bottles of diluted orange (or any other diluting juice) next to my bed in case i wake up.
Lots of sleep does it for me. The more I sleep, the less hangovery I feel ^_^

[Aladdin Sane]

I find I don't suffer from hangovers all that much, through a combination of being lucky and not getting them and the fact that I don't drink all that much.

However, I find that a cup of coffee made with about 7 spoons of coffee and 5 spoons of sugar drunk black, and a bit of fresh air always seems to sort me out.

[Mushroom]

Personally I'd recommend looking at this (http://www.b3ta.com/board/2199666) to cure a hangover*.

* don't look at this if you're epileptic or really have a hangover.

[UMIST_For_Ever]

Twaty has the right idea.

The main thing you will have lost after going on a complete bender is water and a little bit of the salts from within your body (but not as much as you may think).

The best thing to do is drink a pint of water before going to bed.
(you don't have to down it FFS!)

This way, you will prevent a monster headache the next day.

If you don't your brain will have decreased in size due to the extreme loss of water, pulling on the lining which is actually attached to your skull (not in the least bit flexible!)

[Lovergirl]

most of my guy mates get hangovers (i've beaten hangovers y being permanently drunk - yay!) and generally a head massage works for them. if you're crap at a head massage, shave your head. apparently it's very theraputic. *shrugs*

[captain canuck]

Having suffered the worst hangover ever this weekend I was wondering what secret miracle cures you have that always get rid of your hangover?! I can't help with personal experience, as I seem to have inherited my maternal grandfather's resistance to the effects of alcohol. I have never ever had even the slightest hangover, and rarely more than a bit of a buzz even though I've seriously overdone my alcohol consumption on more than one occasion.

A friend of mine swears that a big breakfast (including coffee) works every time, though. I suspect it has to do with the presence of fried foods in his diet, and as has been mentioned a few times in the thread this is a good solution.

[Geek Grrrl]

when I know im going to come home really drunk I stock up or "hoard" food (as my mother says) so when I come home I drink a glass of water, eat atleast 3 packets of crisp, chocolate bars, sometimes an egg buttie and I drink something else throughout the day

toast and tea in the morning, more crapola, and if im still hungover (which I usually am - but only a little) I think about the nights events - and very often they sober me up :p

[duggyfresh]

I hear in the land of scot, the irn bru is regarded as a hang over cure. Not sure if it actually works though, though it's packed full of colouring and e-numbers so it probably does at least make you mildly active.

This is true, Irn Bru works wonders, I don't know why, it's better when it's flat.

Milkthistle tablets are the world's best kept secret to avoid hangovers. You can get them from Boots or Superdrug or where ever, take two before going on the piss and believe me you will notice the difference the next day.

[monkrocker]

As others have said, it's all about the Vit C I find. If I'm conscious enough before going to bed, I'll have a glass or two of water.

In the morning, get a glass of orange squash (fairly diluted) and maybe a multivit tablet when you wake up, and then go back to bed. When you feel up for eating, get the grease in - i find a couple of bacon sarnies do the trick. Dairy (milk, cheese, and especially yoghurt) is a no-no.

Friends of mine like tea as a hangover cure, but then I can't stand tea so no personal recommendation!

Ultimately, if you can, sleep loads and get loads of fluids.

[Shazzy]

I usually wake up in the morning with the worst hangovers ever.

My cure = a shot (or five) of Jack Daniels.

[DJ Nufonia]

This (http://www.chaserplus.com/) is being sold in the States now.

Being too young to drink, I have had no experience with hangovers, but I saw that being sold at a deli.

[Captain]

A big breakfast muffin and a hash brown from mcdonalds breakfast.

[deliops]

I think its best before you go to sleep to drink a bottle of water, eat something like pasta or toast, and take a couple advil.
if you didnt manage to do that before you passed out, drink a bottle of pedialyte...yes the kids stuff! it is jam packed with vitamins and electrolytes and really helps with being dehydrated from drinking!

btw...out of curiosity, has anyone ever tried those chaser things (the no-hangover pills)?? if so do they actually work??

[worldh8er666]

theres got to be some scientific way of curing one

[Liz]

yeah, there is. Its called co codamol, available from all good chemists

[monkrocker]

Co Codamol

Doesn't that contain codein - a friggin strong painkiller, slight overkill for a hangover?

[Fritz Zanzibar]

I had a hangover last week.. I had to play a football-match that morning. :nana:

-Freshly-made Orange juice,
-Food with lots (I mean lots) of tabasco and other hot pepper sauces (you
litteraly have to burn your mouth, otherwise it will not work)
-Nap
