Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Vitamin B-complex with water before you go to bed will equal a much smaller, less shitty feeling hangover the next day.


PM me if you want the biochemistry behind it.

I'm so going to try this. I don't get sickly anymore with my hangovers, but I'm retarded tired (and retarded mentally) and lethargic. Will your method help that?

OK, If you NEVER listen to me ever again forever, I have some experience with this . It was taught to me by my father a few years ago. IT WORKS !!

1. Wake Up

2. Go to the fridge

3. Mix 1 Can Beer with 1 can tomato juice

4. Drink it

Works every time !!

Been there and done that with "red beer." It only works if you drink a shit load of beer. And that's hair of the dog, and that definitely "works" but the day after that.....when you go to work.....you are sooooo fucked.

Yep. You'll be mentally "sharper" and much less lethargy.
It is by no means a cure, but you will feel better and get over feeling crappy MUCH faster.
The B-vitamins will help rid your system of the aldehydes that make you feel shitty. In fact, that stuff they sell "Chaser" is predominately B vitamins.
When I was an undergrad I learned about this in my molecular genetics class.
It does work, but that doesn't mean you can drink until 3 crash (without drinking water) and be up at 7 feeling like a million bucks.
My problem is that when I'm "that drunk", I often forget to take my B-complex with lots of water before I pass out. LOL!

Oh well. Try it next time and post back here. I think you'll be surprised.

I know exactly what you're saying. I sometimes drink until dawn, and when that happens, I already know there is nothing that can cure my variety of hangover. But, (like tonight) where I've had dinner, and I'm drinking, it's 8:00pm and I plan on drinking until 10:30 or 11:00, I want a way to make me feel "good" when I have to wake up at 7:00am. Is that so much to ask? I'm totally going to try the Vitamin B thing. I love it. And, on those nights that I'm too fucked up to remember to take the Vitamin B, then that's my own fault. I knew better. I don't have any Vitamin B in the house, but believe me brother, I'm going to get some. I'm 33, and I love to drink, and this shit is catching up with me. I hate working the 9-5 job with the 7-12 lifestyle.

Thanks for the tip.

You bet. Make sure you pick up "B-Complex" though.

I just cracked up a bottle of Pinot Noir. Mmmmm!

Water, Pop-tarts, Coffee -in that order.

I don't drink wine. Gives me a heart burn. But I definitely drink too much, I know this. I'm a hard alcohol drinker. Mostly vodka. However, the wife and I are drinking rum tonight, which always gives me a worse hangover. Rum went with the dinner we prepared. I can't help it. "B-Complex" it is! Can't wait to try it.

From Modern Drunkard Magazine's 86 Rules to Drinking:

Rule #35: Learn to appreciate hangovers. If it was all good times, every jackass would be doing it.

never been hungover...hahahahaha at all of you

No seriously my worst hangover was a very slight headache that went away after a glass or two of water. I do bring a bottle of Gatorade to bed with me though after drinking. I usually have a dry mouth when I wake up. I also crave greasy dorm food.

After drinking, I used to even feel really really good the next morning. Like wake up at 8am and feel completely energized(never happened to me unless it followed a night of drinking) It was really weird and happens to my friend too.

I think as I am getting older, 20, the hangovers are going to start rolling in a little bit more

Someone told me Pedealite is a good cure..
its what they give sick babies when they are dehydrated..(dogs as well apparently)
I have personally never tired it tho..
Would like to try the vitamin B...
how did you say that helped again?..

Enjoy it while it lasts!!
When I was in college I would drink until 2-3am, get up and be in class at 8 and feel fine.
The older you get the tougher it is...unfortunately. :(

Keep drinking as much water as you can for two or three hours after you wake up. If I drink 7 or 8 glasses over that period, I usually feel fine by afternoon. The only reason you have a headache is because your brain is dehydrated.

first of all Excedrin works the best as far as pills go. next go get something greesy like pizza. Then go have a beer....gets you back to normal. At least does for me

I thought Excedrin was best till I tried BC Powder. So BC Powder, over-easy eggs, orange juice and most importantly - marijuana.

After drinking 11 beers and 4 shots last night I drank 2 glasses of water, took an Advil and a multivitamin. Then when I woke up at like 7AM today to take a leak I repeated the same and then slept for another couple hours and I must say I feel like a million bucks today!

This is my new regiment for drinking. I couldn't have done it without you guys!
