Hangover Cures

Jearlpam0925

Even though it sucks - say you went to sleep/passed out at 4 am, get up around 8 am drink a big glass of water and 3 gel caps of Advil. Then, go back to bed...When you wake up you should be less fucked. If not, go with lots of water and pickles. Yes, pickles. I'm telling you it works. The whole hydrate thing, and pickles are the best kind of Gatorade. If none of this works the next, and last, resort is the good ol' hair of the dog. I mean that's what Sundays are made for - getting drunk all day because what else are ya gonna do?

before i am about to have a drink, i usually take an antacid & paracetamol. it's very effective combination for me.

1. Wake Up

2. Go to the fridge

3. Mix 1 Can Beer with 1 can tomato juice

4. Drink it

Works every time !!

I don't usually get hangover but the morning after a heavy drinking night I always try to drink as much gatorade as I can. Someone also said go to McDonalds. Believe it or not this is really good advise. Gatorade + McDonalds and your all set.

I remember hearing some women say that their drink of choice during the university/college years was Gatorade+Vodka, and consequently they NEVER had a hangover.... Now if only I was that smart when I was in university!

pint of milk beforewards. then the next day when fucked, paracetamol and lucozade orange, then hair of the dog. always works for me

Burnt toast and a tea.

the burnt toast acts like/is charcoal and pulls the alcohol into it. A filter. The tea does some other shit that I cannot explain. This is chemistry, and it works.

I just can advice to hydrate yourself a lot and to not eat too much (at least nothing that's hard to digest) I experienced a lot of hangovers over the years and when your body has to digest a lot of food (while your still feeling like shit) your hangover tends to get worse. Believe me, start eating when you really recovered from your hangover.

Actually you have to try to force yourself to drink as much as you can before you fall asleep. You might need to hit the bathroom early in the morning to let the fluids out but you'll feel a whole lot better when you wake up for the 2nd time.

hmmm, interesting

1 question......Since a hangover is caused by the lack of alcohol in a persons bloodstream, how does burnt toast pull the alcohol out of your system?

Just wondering..

ain't gonna help you now, but here's what i do when i know i'm going to drink a lot:

before i go out, i buy a big bottle of gatorade. i drink half of it and take 2 tylenol's (or whatever you prefer). then i drink to my hearts content. when i get home, i finish the rest of the gatorade and take 2 more tylenol's and go to bed. 98% of the time, i wake up in the morning without a headache. my stomach may feel a bit queasy, but that's easier to deal with than a headache.

A hangover isn't the result of a lack of alcohol in the system. The shitty feeling is a result of the metabolic breakdown of ethanol into an aldehyde. That aldehyde is what causes the shitty feeling.

Everyone has "what has worked for them", but there are myths, urban legend and then there is science.
As mentioned before, there is no "cure". You can greatly reduce the effects of a hangover buy drinking plenty of water the night before and taking a B-complex tablet. Vitamin B chemically binds to the aldehyde that is created by ethanols metabolism.

When you hear of people going blind because they drink methanol (wood alcohol) it's because the body metabolizes that into the most simple aldehyde (formaldehyde...which also is a carcinogenic agent). When ethanol is "broken down" it retains an additional CH2, whereby making it a more complex aldehyde, and one the body can naturally metabolize (it just takes some time. Vitamin B speeds this up!). It is this aldehyde that makes you feel shitty. In fact, a common treatment for the consumption of methanol is ethanol. It's true. What happens is that the influx of EtOH (ethanol) causes the addition of an extra CH2 to the toxic methanol. You won't go blind, but you will really feel like shit the next day.

Vitamin B-Complex is your friend.

down some pedialyte before bed. stay away from pills. alcohol greatly increases the toxicity of acetaminophen and can badly damage your liver. Exercise will make you feel better faster, easier said than done on a nasty hangover.

Forget all these quick fix morning-of remedies. Just drink 2 full glasses of water before you go to sleep and you won't have the hangover to begin with. A hangover is about one thing: dehydration. This always works for me, no matter how drunk I am.

Yeah, I always tell myself that I'm going to drink water either throughout the night, or at least try to cram in as much as I can before crashing to sleep, but more often than not, I crash to sleep before I can get to the water.... :P

I have tried this lots of times and always with the same result - I throw up. The water just sits in my stomach or something and after I go to bed I'm up shortly afterwards throwing up. gatorade, or sprite work a little better so I don't get pasty, and the next morning if it's a really bad hangover it's some kind of salty leftovers and gingerale, or McDonalds and a shake - I need that salt/sugar in my system.

Some really good suggestions in here to try, will be trying the vitamin b for sure.

After a wild bachelor party last night, here I am sitting on my couch trying to not to move because I my head is pounding. I took my usual 2 Advils and a couple of glasses of water which doesn't seem to be working, and I thought it would be a good idea to see what other people do the day after.

And you can't say "don't drink", because that's boring.

I did not read what everyone wrote but either smoke som weed or drink a beer. You will feel great hahahahha!...................really.

You gotta get your body re-hydrated - so yeah - plenty of water and I usually eat a lot of protein (just seems like my body craves it)...and SLEEP. Hope you feel better soon.

That's the only way. Plus 4 advil, not 2.

4 Advil, tons of water, protein, and sleep. There is no easy way out. You just have to pay your dues.
