hangover cures

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

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

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.

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!

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.

how come i have never had a hangover in my life then?

here's some good reading if your head is up to it: http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh22-1/54-60.pdf

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.

sleep. if that's not an option, biscuits and gravy.

Fruit-rich smoothies! My group of friends has a habit of hungover brunches on Sunday mornings and I always have a smoothie (bad hangover) or caesar (okay hangover)!

is beans a good cure, thats all I have at my place

argh should have had a wank this morning

i think ive hit on the perfect hangover monkey mix. bottle of wine and 4 pints of guinness and loads of gorgonzola, bed at 1. awoke at 6.30 still pissed and thats always going to be the worst pain all day so took drastic action with a berocca, a lemsip and a sachet of diaorolite in a pint of water and snoozed for another hour. facemelting turkish coffee courtesy of my housemate and cycled 5 miles to work. Its now 11am and i feel absolutely powerful, no sweats, pain, weakness or fear. Plus charity buns on the go with an honesty box (take that Lenny henry)

oh, forgot 2 wanks and a peanut and banana pitta.

snoozed for another hour

^^most key piece of advice on thread

my hangovers are wayy too intense to sleep through

2 wanks and a peanut and banana pitta

pretty sure this would've sufficed on its own

two wanks onto a peanut and banana pitta

I watched the film 'The Hangover' yesterday and found it to be a surprisingly effective cure (tho not as effective as a wank obv).

1. Cigarette
2. Tall Bloody Mary
3. Salad, preferably with fruit.
4. SmartWater, or any other anti-oxidant energized electrolyte water bullshit thing
5. A nap in the sun.

this really does work. every time.

gingerade kombucha

for a not too bad hangover:
1. water
2. a couple hours lying around not doing much
3. 2-3 mile run
and when i get back from that, i feel pretty much back to normal!

but for a bad hangover, i've experienced no cure but sleeping until it's over.

lots of broth

and exercise

my husband has these foul-tasting yellow jelly-ish cubes that he makes me eat before going to bed after a night of drinking. i can't remember what they are exactly, but some kind of intense electrolyte replacement, maybe? anyway, they seriously work.

i think he's just giving you bullion cubes.

they're some kind of energy food thing he takes when he goes moutain biking. they're a weird salty-sweet flavour (quite revolting).

i usually swallow one with water instead actually chewing it

wank + glass bottle of irn bru + macaroni pie + couple of bottles of stella.

finding that in general, draft beer hurts more the next day than bottled or canned? though it might have more to do with what bar i'm drinking at and how often, if ever, they flush the tap lines

i recently discovered that rehydration salts, the tablets used to treat diarrhoea, are an effective hangover cure

Pedialyte
Ibuprofen
B-12 shot

this sounds too good tbt tbh

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.

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

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

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.

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

sleep as late as i can
2 ibuprofen and a glass of water
small cup of miso
fatty breakfast
coffee
weed
kombucha

yea

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

true

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

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).

rest
fluids
grass
food

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

beer o'clock

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

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