if we haven't already done this thread... what do you prescribe?

my personal recommendations: sugary tea and a wank.

suicide by drowning.

― duane, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Here's my anti-hangover regimen (and no, I'm not some psychotic health-nut):

Antioxidants. These include things like Vitamins A-C-E, pine bark extract, or grape seed extract. A regular antioxidant-rich multivitamin should do the trick. I take the normal recommended dose--(don't overdo, make sure to read labels)--with a glass of water. Then I go out drinking. When I stumble back from the bar, I drink a bit more water. Go to bed. Wake up the next morning with Slowdive or something else sedating on the stereo. Drink tea, read New York Times, leave to office. lather rinse repeat

― geeta, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Duane, but I don't want another drink! ;-)

― helen, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Beer.

― toraneko, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

fried egg sandwich, brisk walk (haha i am english), then juice and coffee and pleasant inactivity till lunchtime

actually i have never had a *hangover* hangover, as i only began drinking five yrs ago and am still a virgin peachy teen liver- wise — but i do get fuck-awful air-pressure migraines now and then

― mark s, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

fried food juice and coffee. Bacon is the miracle cure, not to crispy though, it doesn't work so well.

― Ed, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"fried food juice" = my favourite thing evah!

― powertonevolume, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i found out rather accidentally this morning that rice with a lot of curry sort of works. also chocolate soy milk and watching heavenly creatures on video.

― ethan, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

So you followed di's reccomendation then?

― Andrew L, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Alternate hangover cure strategy: Call in sick to work the next day and watch cartoons. Works every time. I also know someone who swears that tequila will get rid of a hangover, but I don't think I'd recommend that one.

― geeta, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ew that movie is much too creepy for wank fodder you freak and also as was vigorously discussed before i am not attracted to winslet (well okay sorta)

― ethan, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Orgasms good, but only offer temporary relief. Lots of tea and eggZor better, more booze best but that ways lies alcoholism.

― RickyT, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

heres a real cure: drink a BIG glass of water before you go to bed.

― chaki, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hey i met melanie lynskey once, she was nice.

― duane, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― rainy, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

so duane and rainy agree about this.

― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yeah i agree with rainy about pretty much everything now. you know! you've just gotta.

― , Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There was this one, sick minute when Duane stopped agreeing with me about Destiny's Child, but then he realised.

― rainy, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That's nice, Rainy.

We bought this HANGOVAH CURE from HEALTH FOOD SHOP on V______s Street. I intended to use it after the ILE Awards, he intended to use it after a somewhat viscious post-rugby drinking session. Needless to say we both forgot to take it having left it behind in the office but upon reading the instructions WHOT A SWIZ! It involves a) drink a pint of water. b) drink a pint of water with some DRIED URBS in it. c) sleep d) repeat a+b. So in other words... DRINK SOME BLUDDY WATER! I feel ripped off outta my 99p.

― Sarah, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Milk thistle. It tastes foul, like wet hay smells, but it actually works. I keep a bottle in my desk drawer.

― Anna, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Alka Seltzer. I keep forgetting in all this hangover cure mythology that there's actually a product designed for it and it actually works.

― N., Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

two years pass...

I'm alone in the house, and testing out a new hangpver cure because I don't have the usual imposed list of things to do. I woke up, felt like crap, and took an experimental shot of gin. I hear this works for alcoholics. It didn't quite work for me. It made me very drunk again, instantly. This is not what I wanted! I want to be *not* drunk and also *not* hungover. I guess that's not really possible.

― Kenan (kenan), Saturday, 13 November 2004 16:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Upside: I'm a little giggly.

― Kenan (kenan), Saturday, 13 November 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

don't wake up! or don't stop drinking!

― lucifer, Sunday, 14 November 2004 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

do you have access to straight oxygen? that's supposed to do the trick in about 15 min.

why woody harrelson tried to sell his oxygen bar as some feel-good health thing for hippie-dippie assholes instead of drunks trying to recover the morning after is exactly why it failed. i'm gonna re-open one next to a greasy mexican diner and have it be open 8am-4pm and get rich!

― lolita corpus (lolitacorpus), Sunday, 14 November 2004 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I imagine straight oxygen'd also be marvy for those of us who have godawful ciggy hangovers. I always feel crap just as much from the whole pack of 30 I smoked in 3 hours straight the night before, as I do the half a cask of wine I've guzzled (nb I very rarely do this anymore, I just cant handle it).

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 14 November 2004 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Any of the ideas on this thread are better than the one I had yesterday morning. Around 6pm, I was seriously thinking I might die. I went and got the phone and put it in bed with me, so I could call 911 if I started, I dunno, bleeding out my eyes.

― Kenan (kenan), Sunday, 14 November 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

heres a real cure: drink a BIG glass of water before you go to bed.

OTM - and if not before bed, when you wake up and have the hangover. Even better: substitute Gatorade for the water. If no Gatorade, 50% whatever fruit juice you have and 50% water.

Also, breathe fresh, cool air.

Finally, if you have a friend who's a nurse and can get the equipment, get them to give you a saline IV. That will definitely work.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 7 July 2006 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

More sleep, I think. If you can just stay unconscious long enough for the crippling nausea to pass, you'll only need a few glasses of water when you wake up and no one's the wiser.

chuck norris-approved EMERGEN-C! it really helps. like every day.

― ai lien (kold_krush), Friday, 7 July 2006 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

1 glass water, 2 tums, 2 advil, sleep for 20-30 more minutes. wake up feeling much better. then drink 1 glass water + emergen-C and some coffee for a boost, and possibly have a piece of toast. continue with water/coffee all day.

― tehresa, who will here remain anonymous (tehresa), Friday, 7 July 2006 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

a housemate gave me emergen-c once in college and I HATED the taste of it so much, spent all day trying to get rid of it. I think I'd rather have the taste of last night's scotch and bile on my tounge then the fizzy grossness of emergen-c.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 7 July 2006 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

depends on the flavor! i love the raspberry, but the lemon-lime (or something yellow) is kinda gross!

making yourself wakeup and go back to sleep is u/k!

― Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Friday, 7 July 2006 15:31 (nineteen years ago)

being able to sleep as much as possible is by far the best cure. otherwise, a .5mg ativan/xanax/valium will set you straight.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 7 July 2006 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

In addition to water before bed, I recommend some food to go with it, preferably in the carby/fatty area that the breakfast dudes are mentioning. So yeah, get that 4th meal at Taco Bell, or just some breadnbutter.

pappawheelie gets hangovers because he's a massive drunk

― Rev. PappaWheelie (PappaWheelie 2), Friday, 7 July 2006 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

all the water in the world before bedtime wouldn't stop me from getting a hangover. it helps a bit, sure, but in general i think i'm too far gone for such simple measures.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 7 July 2006 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

Breakfast works for your garden-variety hangovers but there is another level where breakfast is not an option.

― Rev. PappaWheelie (PappaWheelie 2), Friday, 7 July 2006 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

A swim, absolutely. You have to dive in though. And the water has to be COLD.

― choinklate (nickalicious), Friday, 7 July 2006 17:36 (nineteen years ago)

Also I have had mixed results with the big breakfast. Sometimes it works wonders, other times it just makes me feel more nauseous, not to mention lethargic.

My current favorite hangover breakfast = BLT, multivitamin, V8.

― choinklate (nickalicious), Friday, 7 July 2006 17:37 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah when i've got it bad there is no eating, period.

Then around 3-4 pm I become incredibly hungry.

― deej.. (deej..), Friday, 7 July 2006 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

a huge meal is often the worst idea when you're really hungover.

swimming then falling asleep in the sun after taking a xanax is probably the best all-around cure, but unfortunately that's not an option that is open to me 98% of the time.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 7 July 2006 18:13 (nineteen years ago)

24 oz of water + two excedrine migraine + about 45 minutes + ice cold coca-cola + hot mcdonald's fries - it works!

― daniel striped tiger (OutDatWay), Saturday, 8 July 2006 08:57 (nineteen years ago)

I don't really consider it a hangover unless I'm nauseated, and then I must lie still and breathe very shallowly until the world picks a spatial plane and sticks with it. Everything else is just garden-variety hard living.

I went two years or so without a hangover recently, it was fantastic. june 1st, however, was when the cheques started bouncing. 'cure' = sleep til midday, don't actually do anything of substance until 3-ish if you can, get bacon + cheese roll from subway (no salad).

Here's what worked for me today:

1- 32 oz. water
2- lemon and orange sherbets
3- english muffin w/ 1 egg
4- washed huge stack of dishes while singing
5- pet cat while watching a little IFC documentary about weird people with weird houses
6- took a big shit
7- washed face (haven't bathed yet)

I feel great!

apparently if you walk around a lot, eat a chicken kebab sandwich, and stay out til 5:30 and then sleep til 1 you can avoid a hangover. not bad!

― tehresa, who will here remain anonymous (tehresa), Saturday, 8 July 2006 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

you's are all mad! there is no cure. if you plan on getting up the next day you have to decide whether or not you can access 'hair of the dog' ie. get pissed again but not quite as bad. if you need to be sober then tough, try bacon, try lucozade, try water. you may feel a little better but still "like a pig shat in your head". if you can sleep as much as possible then that's the best but you will still need to introduce some food/more alcohol to your sleepy hangover.

― michael wells (michael w.), Saturday, 8 July 2006 18:40 (nineteen years ago)

in short (ie. i forgot to say: hair of the dog is the only cure).

― michael wells (michael w.), Saturday, 8 July 2006 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

I like the way the consensus is leaning: wake up, note how bad it is (when you stand up to take a piss). Slurp some water. Go back to bed for another hour if possible. Cancel appointments, if possible (sometimes the psychological aspect oof having to face something makes you feel worse, especially if there's any sense of shame or regret hanging over from the night before). Remove smoky clothes from vicinty, take a cool shower, a greasy shit, and shave, if needed.

If you're not too bad: a run for long enough to sweat for a while. If you're beyond this, water, diet coke, coffee. No big greasy breakfast. At midday, 2-3 beers / glasses of wine / Bloody Marys. Enough to take the edge off. Drink water as you go. Try to smile to yourself and recognize that it *always* goes away.

― paulhw (paulhw), Saturday, 8 July 2006 19:08 (nineteen years ago)

yes but it's *always* coning back...

― michael wells (michael w.), Saturday, 8 July 2006 19:20 (nineteen years ago)

True, true - the only cure is to replace what your body is saying it needs, namely alchohol, or to allow your body's natural chemistry to reset and not feel all alkie.

Several of the things above are good prevenatives for the symptoms of a hangover - but what Tracer said way back four years ago is the only truth - pot is the best and most direct hangover alleviative.

Coffee. Just strong black coffee with sugar. I don't normally drink it so it tends to have a reasonably potent effect - wakes me up, sorts out my headache, unblocks my sinuses (which is the usual cause of the worst of my symptoms).

― CaptainLorax, Tuesday, 29 July 2008 13:16 (seventeen years ago)

Hair of the dog should work, but maybe not with beer, and maybe not when you're already suffering. Alcoholic drinks tend to contain ehtanol and methanol - the former gets processed before and in preference to the latter, and methanol when it does get processed breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde, these are one of the major contributors to the hangover. So ideally you should administer a small amount of ethanol, e.g. from a pure spirit like vodka, before the hangover kicks in - the ethanol will get processed in preference to the methanol already in your system, which hopefully should then get naturally flushed out.

Hey it might still work, who knows. Go on, neck some vodka.

― ledge, Tuesday, 29 July 2008 13:23 (seventeen years ago)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A103140

sounds like an oxygen tank, lots of that "performance" water with potassium ions etc, and l-cysteine is a pretty encompassing remedy.

i actually used to have some cysteine tablets around the house that seemed to ameliorate my mind-crushing hangovers... it was also bundled with like 3000% of your daily intake of various B-vitamins, so that might have helped, too.

sounds like I need to go to an oxygen bar and alternate between shots of liquid and shots of air.

ha i guess this is the inevitable thread bump after the 'full bottle of wine' posts last night, huh?

haha actually I stopped at half. wasn't so bad except for the waking up at 6 AM part.

― noted schloar (dyao), Wednesday, 3 March 2010 10:03 (sixteen years ago)

what about the going back to sleep at 6:01 part?

― quiz show flat-track bully (darraghmac), Wednesday, 3 March 2010 10:14 (sixteen years ago)

well, I went to the loo first, so it was more like pretend to be asleep starting from 6:05 onwards

five years pass...

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

This is easily the worst thing about getting older, the hangovers get worse and worse.

Bacon egg and cheese biscuit from McDonalds does the job for me every time. Actually any bacon sandwich works well. There's been scientific studies on it and it seriously works. Google "bacon sandwich hangover" and see for yourself if you don't believe me.

two years pass...

I've tried fish and chips with curry sauce and washed down 2 co-dydramols with some dandelion & burdock. Still feel like shit. I'm supposed to be having an important meeting meeting with a social worker shortly, I'm feeling way too shattered and inappropriately giggly to get through this without him thinking I'm a degenerate - I fear.

Last week I got into a real shouting argument while hungover and weirdly it totally worked

yea

― marcos, Tuesday, 30 May 2017 14:27 (nine years ago)

idk the effects of getting older aren't nearly as bad as the effects of having kids who never fail to wake up at 6 AM whenever you were drinking the night before

― frogbs, Tuesday, 30 May 2017 14:28 (nine years ago)

true

― marcos, Tuesday, 30 May 2017 14:30 (nine years ago)

when I was 11 it was exciting when my dad woke up hungover because that meant we got to play N64 until 10 AM

― frogbs, Tuesday, 30 May 2017 14:34 (nine years ago)

In my drinking days, I bought GT's Original Kombucha by the case (no, really) and always kept a bottle of pediatric electrolyte on hand for the especially bad days.

It never really made the hangover go away, but it did make the day navigable (as opposed to just alternating between the bed and the bathroom all day).

― Austin, Tuesday, 30 May 2017 16:21 (nine years ago)

rest
fluids
grass
food

― brimstead, Tuesday, 30 May 2017 18:34 (nine years ago)

only guaranteed cure for hangovers is existing until the clock strikes 8pm. for some reason that is the magic hour.

― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 30 May 2017 22:09 (nine years ago)

beer o'clock

― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 30 May 2017 22:33 (nine years ago)

I swear by old fashioned Alka Seltzer tablets in a glass of water

― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 30 May 2017 22:35 (nine years ago)

Best hangover cure: drink two pints of water and three ibuprofen before going to bed.
