Hangover Cure?

[Gerald]

Want a cure for a hangover or a way to boost your immunity or relax? Visiting an oxygen bar might just do the trick,

.50 caliber aspirine is also a permanent solution.

.50 caliber aspirine is also a permanent solution. Yes definitely, :O:

[Gargamel]

Meh, Just 1,000 ml bag of saline IV works for me. Some D50 and zofran to boot, I'm ready to go! Stone sober in 20 minutes!

Helps though if you have the equipment, and nerves, to start IV's on yourself.

[antikristuseke]

It might rise a few eyebrows if I show up to work with an IV.

Best natural way I've found to eliminate or lessen the hangover (largely depends on how much you drank) is to drink 1 glass of water per drink that you had. Hangover's are just the resulting state of the body being dehydrated from the alcohol. Obviously if you drank 16-20 beers (like many will later tonight while partying) consuming an equal amount of water will cause you to honk.

If you've had too much, to the point where you are invisible you should try to drink as much water as your stomach can handle at that point. While you may think you're the invisible eradicator 6 hours later you're gonna be a rock. If I go to a large party/bar and know I'll be consuming a lot I'll place water bottles (the plastic bottled water ones) next to places I know that I will stumble by on my journey to the couch, bed, or floor when I get home.

Drinking water the night before won't cure a hangover, the next morning you won't feel like you're inside a sub getting dc'd everytime someone makes a noise. Instead it'll just be a regular hangover. Only drink a 6 pack or a few mixed drinks 3 or 4 glasses of water at times can be enough to stave off the hangover all together (save the headache, that seems to be a universal constant).

[antikristuseke]

There is more to a hangover than just dehydration.

[Betonov]

There's also the sulphur in cheap wine.
There was one time we bought some store brand wine, I drank about half a liter and begged for someone to kill me a couple of hours later

[Tessa]

There is more to a hangover than just dehydration.

Quite true, though its an indusptiable fact that one of the causes of hangovers is dehydration. Water isn't a panacea, but it can make an enormous difference the following day. Instead of feeling like you're better off dead you might only be sluggish, and have a really nasty headache that doesn't go away. It is by no means the solution, but something that can be easily done when you get back home that will have a positive impact on the impending pain you're going to get a few hours later.

There is one way I've found that prevents a hangover in 100% of the times (imo): have some weed a hour or two before you go to sleep. You'll get a massive high with the mix of alcohol in your body at the same time; though every time I've had some weed at a party where I did excessively heavy drinking a few good hits and I woke up the next morning feeling energized and ready to go out and o anything. I only survived the first half of O-Chem so can't elaborate on the why part of it, just from lots of experience I've had it has always been a help.

Vitamin B will help. You can find some medication (at least here in Spain) that it is specific for "those mornings after beer insane drinking". The pills are called "Resalim" (http://www.familyfarma.org/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=911&language=en )
If you can´t buy those, try a multivitamin complex that includes vitamin B.... and drink as much water as you can.
Ahh, and ask your farmacist, he can help you :D (I have been working in a Pharmacy for 5 years, and still on it)

Getting a hold of Vitamin B isn't a problem here in the US, its OTC along with all other vitamins and supplements. There are some pills that are available to help aid the physical symptoms, one you take befoer you go out drinking and another for when you get home. Have never tried them personally and don't know anyone that has.

Hardest part of trying to be pro-active in reducing your hangover is to actually follow through with your plan once you get home. If (in a dream world) you had a pill that would instantly remove all the alcohol from your body and thus prevent any hangover there is a good chance that once you walk through the door getting water or pills is one of the last things on your list of priorities. If you're hungry and make something to it that's a huge boost, not only in helping to break down the alcohol faster but will also replenish much of what your body has lost from drinking so much (and are more likely to have a couple glasses of water along with it).

I rarely get headaches when I am hung over, I just feel like **** for three days.

[GoldenRivet]

if you just stay piss drunk ALL the time... you dont get a hangover

[STEED]

Don't over drink in the first place. ;)

[antikristuseke]

Overdrinking is a myth. So is my liver for that mater.

[kiwi_2005]

during your drinking session stop and have something to eat then continue drinking after. I never get a hangover this way if I just drink without eating something during the session I wake up with a splitting headache everytime.

[Sledgehammer427]

have you tried sauerkraut? if memory serves me right that works on hangovers...jut get a little kielbasa or something and have a decent meal while you are at it :up:
matter if fact I think I'll have some right now

[Tessa]

Though it usually doesn't sounds appealing at all the next day, if you have another beer/drink after you wake up it'll stop the hangover and get you back into a semi-intoxicated state. Then you just go about the day and let your body break down the alcohol over time.

[gimpy117]

I'm a bronco. we don't get hung over. I just drink some water and call it good

[Rockstar]

Back in the day after playing sailor all night. I'd open up a jar of pickled herring the next morning and woof'em down. Amazingly after about 30 40 minutes I felt no pain.

Another 'cure' was to pop two B-12 vitamins, two Excedrin and two tall glasses of water BEFORE I hit the bunk. But sometimes I couldn't either remember to do it or I just wasn't capable at the time.

[Factor]

Two (or three) lines of shanghai sally, then a shot of whiskey to wash away the drip. It works.:D

[Armistead]

When in the CG, we ate corn bread before getting drunk...alka seltzer mix with beer in the morning....

[longam]

:D

G rated Captain...

[Lord_magerius]

Best hangover cure for me is a bottle of ice cold Dr. Pepper, and a wrap from KFC. It's rare when it happens but when it does it's a life saver.

Don't know if the rare hangover thing is a genetic bonus or whether I drink too much... But either way :rock:

[DarkFish]

I usually just deal with it. If I really can't afford to have a hangover, I drink water when I get home, depending on how much I've drunk. If I've had less than 8 beers I won't have a hangover, from about 8 beers I start drinking water with a max of 5 glasses at about 25-30 beers. Works for me.

BTW I never get headaches. My hangovers are usually pretty mild, which is why I often don't bother to drink water.

[Gargamel]

It might rise a few eyebrows if I show up to work with an IV.

I guarantee I will be starting more than one IV on coworkers tommorow morning. It's pretty standard to show up hungover (not drunk), and insta-sober. Not that it happens that often, but when it does, as long as you get fixed before or while you roll out on your first call, nobody cares. We of course would never go out impaired in any fashion. (Though there have been a negligent few who have, and were soon dealt with)

[Factor]

G rated Captain...

Fixed. :DL

[antikristuseke]

I work at a university science building, not in a hospital or abulance service.

[Garion]

I just stay in bed wearing a sleeping mask like wot The Frau uses and sleep until the pain goes away.

Still... getting outa bed, making it to the lavvy for a pee and forgetting yoo have the mask on can be tricky and hurt.

Especially for the dog that sleeping on the floor at the foot of the bed that refuses to move out the way :woot:

The cats have more sense :rock:

Shoot yourself, cures everything just like that! :shifty: :03:

[ReFaN]

probably been said before but,

Dont drink.

[jumpy]

hmm, I always try and have a non alcohol drink before bed if I'm waterlogged. Breakfast is usually a strong, sweet cup of tea followed by honey on toast. I very rarely drink until it makes me nauseous, but there's a plateau I strive to maintain for the duration :DL

[Dowly]

Try not to stop drinking. However, if you have stopped for a period of time, propably due to passing out, please refrain from panicking and just find the nearest pub ASAP.

And with that, I'm off to the nearest pub. :yeah:

My hangover cure today is:

One hot cup of coffee, a bowl of oyster stew, and a healthy dose of Battle of the Atlantic on Military Channel.


Oddly enough I didn't wake up with much of a headache today, and I had three more beers last night than usual. Something fishy about that. :hmmm:

Fix it with beers.
Allthought it's kinda like trying to fix diarrhea with farting,
rather difficult.

It's the ''moral hangover' that lasts longer and has a nastier bite.

[sharkbit]

Probably been said already but vitamin B complex, vitamin C, and lots of water.

Just found out the disadvantage of drinking water. When you're so far off that you really need it, you can't keep it in.

just had a huge drinking night. More beer and Jägermeister than I can remember, add in a couple of cigarettes, some weed and an empty stomach, and you've got an idea of how I feel right now.

Which makes me remember the number one medicine against drunkenness. People. If it weren't for some other guys, I would have probably fallen asleep and frozen to death somewhere out on the streets. I know I would be feeling a whole lot worse now if I had been alone last night (then again, if I had been alone I wouldn't have drunk so much:O:)


Think I owe one or two guys a couple of beers:yeah:

Well don't go eating none of that hideous pickled herring I used to see being consumed in Dordrecht market on a Saturday morning :DL

Also, what's wrong with herring? It's the best food on earth!:DL (though I prefer it raw as in another Dutch tradition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soused_herring))

As finishing touch, god created the Dutch. To show us his caring, he made us herring:woot:

I'll never forget my first ever Friday lunchtime in the works canteen (VAF Instruments, Dordrecht)....everyone was eating some kind of herring, raw/pickled etc.

In waltzed jimbuna and asked for a fried fish....he then promptly placed it inside a large white bread bun....there was a few raised eyebrows in the canteen that day :DL

[Takeda Shingen]

My strategy is to drink at least 32 fl oz of water before I bed down, along with two slices of bread to absorb excess stomch acid. I am still a little slow in the morning, but I don't have the stomach trouble or headaches.

Could well be Gerald....there were cameras in many areas because of the nature of the work but I'm not sure if there were any in the canteen.

Speaking of hangovers... yesterday morning was painful. I actually woke up on the floor next to my bed, which was NOT precisely where I had started my slumber. How does one fall out of bed and not be woken up? :88)

Hangover remedy was 800mg of ibuprofen with two glasses of water, a can of baked beans, and half a pot of coffee before siesta. The nap really did the trick. :up:

I remember making a couple of posts around the boards that night before, and if they contained a slew of ranting vulgar language please accept my apologies. At least one was cleaned up considerably before I posted it. I hope I showed the same consideration with the rest. :oops:

Nah. We've had plenty of drunken ranters on these boards over the years, but I've never seen you as one of them. Speaking generally, drinking and posting are a bad mix; I have seen a lot of people do a lot of harm to their reputation over the years by typing things that they would not have if they were sober.

I have often done the water, but the bread is a new one to me. Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give it a try.

Overheard two people talking while I was having my morning coffee at my local cafe, and one of them said that you mix sugar and salt into water and drink the thing. But I cant test it since I am still not drinking. Hasnt been 500 years since the last incident of me being drunk
