Hangover Cures

Remove all ads!

That's a complicated issue, from recent experience with my Feuerzangenbowle I suggest a 3-Step approach:

When the sheer sight or scent of food makes you wanna puke and your head punishes you for every quick move, you have to cure yourself carefully:

1-Take a glass of the splendid (can't stop to praise it) Dr. Harris The original Pick-me-Up -, one spoonful in a whineglass, (tastes a little bit like coke). It helps to calm down your tortured stomach (in approx 10 min), you have to eat something to be able to take the aspririn later ...
Some people take Alker Selzer for that purpose, anyway ...

2-After enabling yourself to eat a little, try light food, a sour cucumber, a slice of bred with cheese, anything. If you don't you'll likely throw up the pill right after taking it.

3-Aspirin to fight the headache, then drink a lot of water since you're still dehydrated.

Now you're even able to make a walk outside in the fresh air and to even survive direct exposure of your eyes to sunlight.

And anyway, my tip is: Eat well and fat before you start some serious drinking, cheeseburgers, pizzas, fried potatoes with baked cheese - heavy food for heavy work. Rehydrating before going to bed helps a lot too - however - you have to be sober enough to remember that when you go to bed

Stay intoxicated forever,
Please don't call me an alcoholic

PS;
Good post Ejsmith. But if anyone takes up on his word be carefull with demineralized water. the osmotic and biological consequences are dangerous! It is actually imperitive that you eat a mineral tablet when drinking demineralized water
But then it gets mixed up in the stomach and mix into approximated tap water. Dilemma heh.
Conclusion just drink bottle water. And a vitamin pill, and some soup to give the stomach some easy work.

If it is a wannabee hangover go for McDonalds or burger king.

@MoN
Lol

Brainfreeze, coffee or placebos(sp) both work very well for me. (You absolutley dont wanna know what those placebos were)

a friend of mine did a degree in biology or chemistry or some combination of the two. She did an experiment or read some book or something that said that taking some painkillers while having alcohol in the blood actually damages your liver more than the alcohol. Don't know what truth there is in it.

I generally dont get hangovers unless i get savagely wasted. (last bad one was a few shots of JD, couple of glasses of champagne and about a bottle and a half of red table wine at a ball. Don't normally drink wine but it was free. Didnt vom but had a major case of looking grey/green the next day and had to travel on the train for 4 hours. Nice).

Large amounts of greasy food normally work for me, and lots of squash (water tastes grosse when hungover).

 

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. I pity you sorry, alcohol-reliant fools. Ho ho, yes I do.

 

@Yerril

It looks like youre going to have a hangover tomorrow morning

 

Hmmm...one I use all the time:
- One glass of Tesco Value Orange Juice
(mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....)
- Two slices of Toast.
- A plate of Water Biscuits.

It works every time.

 

Enduce Vomiting!!! YAY!!!!
Not very original though perhaps effective...

 

Should have seen my dads face when I "enduced vomiting" all over the freaking stairs

"Dad, I dont feel well, I prob drank a bacardi too much, well I´m going to bed...... Oh yeah by the way the stairs might be somewhat slippery, erm, I think the dog puked all over the stairs"

Must be a big dog then! Probably called 'Morgoth'.


You can reduce the alcohol in your blood, and prevent or 'soften' the hangover by sticking your fingers in your throat the night before, after you drank too much.

Not a very pleasant thing to do, But having a headache all day long isn't very appealing, either.

Imagine: Doing your best drinking all night and then spoiling your trofee on the floor!

 

Drink more beers thats help alot!

 

Have to agree with Bel. Gatorade does the trick every time. Rehydrates you and is full of electrolytes. Doesn't taste wonderful but, then, what does taste good when you've got a bad case of the 40oz flu?

 

Yeah, Gadeorade would be good for the potassium and sodium levels.

But it's got all that sugar. Just to cover up the taste. Which blows it all to hell.

You can buy jugs of Pediolyte in the supermarkets, but it's cheaper to by a bottle of potassium gluconate and some distilled water.

But, and I forgot to mention this, you will be peeing like crazy that first hour. It will be completely clear.

But it knocks out all the effects, even the sensitivity to light.

The solution to pollution is dilution.

 

No MoN, I called him Matthijs, since he smells like you during his bad days.

j/k

 

You all know nothing.

There are hangovers and HANGOVERS. I am a Russian - so beleive me I know what I am talking about.

A few things to say:

1) The best way to cure a hangover is to avoid one. The key to that is drinking pure alcohol - DO NOT mix it - coctails (sp?) are the worst.

2) Always increase the strength of alcohol as you advance into the party - half gallon of beer - a bottle of Gin+Tonic - a bottle of Vodka -> you would be dead drunk, but the next morning you will feel fine.

3) All above is for a hangover. For a HANGOVER - you need to use one of the following:
a) Non-sugar - non-fruit - non-fat yogurt
b) 2 liters of water + pepper + lemon juice + salt, put some garlic in it, leave for 1-2 hours in a warm place, then cool in a fridge, drink when necessary.

4) TO experience a HANGOVER try the following:
a) "Climb the Everest" - take a 1/2 liter glass, fill with beer, drink half, add vodka until full, drink half, repeat until you don't taste beer anymore.
b) if that is not enough, "Descend the Everest" - drink half, add beer, drink half, proceed until you don't taste vodka.

For weak drinkers reduce the size of a glass.

Have fun!

P.S. I stopped drinking 4 years ago at the age of 21 . I drank worst at the ages from 18 to 20.

 

H2O and sleep, because it takes a full 20 hours for alcohol to be completely *out* of the body.

Teeny
(I don't drink, tee hee)

 

Hangover cure? Make that a pre-emptive strike; stay drunk

 

'Drink pure alcohol'?
Liquid pressed?
LPA?

 

A cold bath and a shot of whiskey. Always did me good.

 

I've yet to have a hangover, so this is mostly second hand info.
Hangovers are mailny dehydration, so the best cure is water. Now, every time I've been out drinking, I always have a large glass of water before passing out, so maybe that's why I don't get hangovers. Works for me.
