Hangover cures

[Lorentzson]

Okay so I need a hangover cure fast! Me and my friends were out having some beer last night and then we had some more...
Bottomline is that I have to go to work in 2 hours and I can hardly walk up straight and my head is exploding (Usually I dont get hangovers at all, weird...).

So tell me your best Hangover cures, Ive tried loads of water and loads of coffee. So far none of them did much.

[TurdBerglar]

have another beer

[Lorentzson]

Yeah, that will probably get me fired...

[TurdBerglar]

whatever, it works

[mikizee]

its true. when u get drunk the alcohol floods your brain witha certain protein or something, and the brain gets used to it, and when u wake up sober your brain no longer has that protein or whatever and its like having withdrawals, so the short term solution os to drink some alcohol to give ya brain what it lacks. that and obviously the fact that your probably very dehydrated and need plenty of electrolytes, try gatorade or something. and vitaman b. berocca, beer and a salvital always sorts me out.

Best cure for hangovers is:

1. Dr Pepper. It is INSANELY carbonated, which is good. If you are hungover, chances are you ahve neat undigested alcohol in your gut. Drinking water will merely dilute the alcohol, and help your stomach absorb it. As any fule kno, alcohol is volatile (it evaporates easily) - and a carbonated beverage will help no end with the refreshment, as well as helping you rehydrate. Rehydration's a biggy.

2. Pistachio nuts. You will have urinated out a lot of salts, your stomach will be digesting nothing but alcohol, and thus be quite acidic, and you are prolly hungry but nauseuous. Roasted Pistachios will have some very helpful nutrients, as well as salt, and the fibre will help with the "recovery dump" which is a massive step on the road to recovery.

3. Banana milkshake. This one is a toughie, as if you are very nauseous and your stomach is very acidic (or has a lot of undigested alcohol in it) it will do more harm than good, as it will curdle and that is REALLY unpleasant to puke up. If you are just mildly hungover though, it will help calm stomach as well as aid hydration.

4. Long relaxing soak in the bath. Dehydration as well as the shutting down of brain regions will have fucked up your homeostatic system (which regulates your body temperature and level of hydration.) As mentioned above, drinking lots of fluids, especially water, can cause more harm than good at this late stage. Being submerged in water will relieve the physical symptoms of dehydration, making you feel a lot better a lot quicker as you rehydrate yourself by drinking fluids (preferably Dr Pepper, as aforementioned, but cold water if not.) Another bonus is that being able to add hot or cold water as you feel like it, you can very quickly adjust the temperature to your comfort level, as your homeostatic system will be swinging you hot and cold as it tries to come back online and get water to where it needs it.

I'll repeat this bit: Make sure you have PLENTY of stuff to drink, as there is nothing worth than being all hot and steamy and desperate for a cold drink, but feeling too much like shit to get yourself some.

Another great thing about lying in the bath is that you are close to the toilet if you feel nauseous.

Nah, "hair of the dog" works because concentrated alcohol constricts the digestive sphincter, slowing the rate at which your body consumes alcohol. When you wake up with a hangover, it is because your body has started processing the alcohol again. Hair of the dog puts off the inevitable.

[Planetary]

a fry up and a shower.

[Lorentzson]

Wow! Thanks man, jsut by reading that I feel much better :)
Hmm, I might be able to squeese in a bath before work. Too bad they almost completely stopped selling Dr.Pepper in Sweden.

Thanks for the help man!

[Lorentzson]

What the hell is that expression anyway? "Hair of the dog that bit ya".
I heard it in Monkey Island 3 as well.
Please inform me. :)

[TurdBerglar]

dr. pepper is shit

[Tzar]

i REALLY don't understand people who go out drinking the night before they have an early start at work. it happens at my work, they come to work, looking like shit and not doing much, i ask 'em what's up? "oh i got so drunk last night and now i feel like shit".

FUCK ME!? REALLY!? you don't say!?

you know you have an early wake-up and you know you're gonna be seedy at work and probably make alot of mistakes or even throw up on register (it's happened before) so why bother?

[jabumbo]

bloody mary (y)

[Bob]

some kind of greasy food usually helps me. like a pepperoni pizza or something. although that could be hard to get inside of two hours.

[Otis Driftwood]

SEX!

[Tone Capone]

Beer.

Not really the thing if you have to be at work soon but, seriously, why did you let yourself get that messed up if you had to work the next day?... I mean "come on".

[beastiegirrl101]

orange gatorade and carrot cake.

The best cure for a hangover.......................................... ....................








.................................................. ....................................don't drink!

[adam_f]

I'd say the best hangover cure is to not post another damn thread about the best hangover cures.

[ma belle]

dr. pepper is shit
I gotta agree

1 can you get "purdeys" in health food shops where you live? its the bollocks for hangovers. works within 20mins.

2 Vodka is a viable solution, but then just water drink like a fish to stop the hangover coming back. vodka doesn't smell much on your breath...and you dont need to get pissed on it!

3 get a job where you can take a day off if you want to.

4 dont drink

[ericlee]

bloody mary (y)

Yeah, you did post it here. (y)

and Ace's reply cracks me up. They seem benificial but the guy needed advice on the fly. He probably would have been late for work with a hangover by the time he finished reading that.

[jabumbo]

all you you who hate on dr pepper will die soon

[ericlee]

and the "duuurr, durrrr, hehehe....Don't drink" morons

[jlees_mcsd]

and the "duuurr, durrrr, hehehe....Don't drink" morons


ERRRRRRRRRRDUH
Not only do I believe not drinking will cure a hangover
I am a firm believer that not having sex is the best form of birth control.
So what if I am all about the most choice, don't like it, don't read my posts then. This is a stupid thread topic anyway.

[ericlee]

he's already drank. He has a hangover.

What the hell is he supposed to do? Undrink himself?

duuuurrrrr..

How about use better judgement in the future, and not go on a bender on a work day.
In all seriousness I used to eat a tube of peanuts and drink alot of water with four extra strength tylonal. Worked for me.

[jlees_mcsd]

I know it's too late now, but next time punch yourself in the face Like Ed Norton. Then you can walk around at work, feeling all bad and shit, and people would feel all sorry for you.
You have the best idea yet!!!!!!!!LMAO

Well see? You could have just added that in the first place.

He was just asking for some friendly advice and foresight input couldn't provide any help to him.

Well I am truley sorry for denying a noob advice, let us not forget the reception I recieved. If I had posted a thread like this a month ago, I would have gotton alot of 'Shut the fuck up's' anyway, I can't remember being young and rash so I apologize for being an old sarcastic fuddy duddy. :p

[hpdrifter]

Pho

[jabumbo]

my gram suggest 2 aspirin before you start, and 2 when you finish

[ericlee]

my gram suggest 2 aspirin before you start, and 2 when you finish

yep, that works too. I also take a multivitamin right away when I first wake up.

[Bob]

i thought you weren't supposed to mix aspirin and alcohol?

[b i o n i c]

my gramps used to say to drink a shot of olive oil before.

[voltanapricot]

I have some friends that swear eating cheese sarnies once you get home helps. I just stick to the B-vit loaded Marmite on toast and a pint of water.

[Freebasser]

Just keep drinking and call it a lifestyle change.

[*shorty*]

Greasy breakfast like Bacon..(mmm) and eggs. Before you go to bed about 2 bottles of water and some tylonel will help with the aches and pain, and in the morning, i would suggest gravol, but that makes you drowsy so probably not a good idea if you have to go into work...If all else fails, say that you got it on with a really hot guy/girl last night who end up giving you the flu. Hey..no pain no pleasure right?

[Lorentzson]

Thanks for all the great help, I tried the Bananamilkshake and hot bath method. Can't say it worked instantly, when i got to work I was really dizzy but after an hour or so I was back to my normal condition. Good thing 'cause I had to work late (02.30 and I end at 12.00)...

To all you "Dontdrinkbeforeaworkday" people. I am still young, It is only I that will be affected by me drinking before a workday. I handled my job great and I got numerous compliments for being effective and hardworking. As long as I can do the job that i'm being payed for I will keep going drinking before workdays. It is really hard to squeeze in some friend-time when everyone is working so I take any chance I get.

Dr. Pepper tastes like marzipan, eew!

[beastieangel01]

water + advil + greasy food :D

That's not a cure, asshole!

*flips bird*

[Lex Diamonds]

Oh yeah, and my tried and tested cure is to drink lots of milk and orange juice, followed by a nice cold beer. Sometimes it's hard to force yourself to drink more alcohol after what it's just done to you, but it always works for me. (y)

[hardnox71]

Yep. That's why people drink Bloody Marys in the morning after a night of drinking.

I used to take a couple of Advil with a giant bottle of Gatorade.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

I have some friends that swear eating cheese sarnies once you get home helps.

This used to work for me. Cheese spread (preferably Primula cheese in the squeezy tube) on brown bread. I say 'used to work' because i can't remember the last time i had a hangover...too sensible nowadays :D

[hardnox71]

What is a cheese sarnie?

[Yorkshire~Rose]

What is a cheese sarnie?

Sarnie = sandwich

The oiled insides of your stomach (or whereever drink goes) only prevents vomiting not intoxication... Lemme guess, is your grandpa greek?
