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.

Yes definitely,

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.

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).

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)

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

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.

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

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

DarkFish · 12-31-10, 09:44 PM

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.
