Your pre-hangover cure?

Waffle House....grease soaks up alcohol, making your morning easier. It'll tear you a new asshole, but you won't feel like a vise is crushing your skull.

Grease soaks up alcohol? I didn't know grease was absorbant.

Mcdonalds, about 5 glasses of water and 2 tylenol.

In the morning, eat some eggs and drink some Gatorade.

You'll forget you were drunk the night before ;)

I don't drink. Hangover avoided. :D

WHAT THE FUCK!!!
Milk is the worst thing you could mix with alcohol!!!

Milk is so much better. :tongue:
 
call in sick to work, go back to bed.
 
There is NO effective treatment either to prevent or cure a hangover.Just give it some thought.There wouldn't be threads like this if one was available.Also there would be some very rich people around who marketed any effective cure.
The solution lies in realising that deliberately getting drunk is a form of stupidity, unfortunately in our society it's tolerated and even encouraged.There's an enormous price being paid for it-I've heard that 83% of cases of violence follow heavy drinking , some city centres are no go areas at the weekends.
Having said that, there are times when we drink too much because it creeps up on us and impairs our judgement.Drinking water does reduce the effects of dehydration up to a point-the water can be part of the drink though.The problem is greatest when the alcohol content lies over 4% because at that level the water content offsets the dehydration of the alcohol.Drink a good session beer and you'll be OK, go for strong drink and you will get the hangover you deserve.
 
weed and I'm being 100% honest with you. After drinking 10 or so beers having a nice blunt makes me feel much better

Absolutely true. And then a glass of cold water and a snack (popcorn or cold fried chicken for me) and two/three extra-strength aspirin before going to bed. Set alarm to allow every minute possible for sleep. In the morning titillate your body under an alternating hot/cold shower with peppermint soap. Wash hair extra vigorous for head massage. Drink two cups of coffee with toast and eggs. Then go out into the world loose, happy that you made it, laughing at it all :2 cents:
 
Don't go out & drink if you have an appointment early the next morning (it's what I usually do). Kinda silly to go out & drink for no more than 1 1/2 hour...
 
A glass of milk will help coat your stomach after drinking and keep you from yacking, at least it's worked for me in the past. I don't drink that hard much anymore so can't say if it still does the trick.



Milk is no good for lining the stomach before you go out as the alcohol turns it sour as soon as it hits the stomach.The best things are foods which absorb the booze like pasta & potatoes.

The obvious advice is "Don't drink". That way there is no hangover.

Failing that:

1. Drink lots of water. One of the primary causes of the headache in the morning is the dehydration. Ideally, you should drink at least one glass of water for every once of liquor.

2. I wouldn't worry too much about replacing the electrolytes (if you're fairly young and don't drink excessively often). Make sure you eat healthy otherwise though.

Oh and pop a vitamin pill every so often - chronic alcohol use depletes vitamin reserves and makes absorbing them a lot harder.

3. CAFFEINE. Think about it - if you drink a lot of mixed drinks, all that damned cola/soda has tons of caffeine in it. When you're getting drunk, you're loading your brain with caffeine and then when you stop drinking you are 'starving' it off the caffeine. Hence why that morning cup of joe seems to help. However, the caveat is that the caffeine further dehydrates you - so depending on how drunk I get, I either take that morning coffee or I avoid it.

4. Food - I'm 50/50 on this one. If someone is really drunk I would avoid giving them any food - simply because it puts them at a greater risk for vomiting. And with drunk folks, vomiting = aspiration (the more drunk you are, the easier it is to aspirate).

That brings up a HUGE issue of mine:
Please, for the love of all that is good and holy - if you know someone is really hammered, please don't let them go to bed unassisted. Please don't let them pass out. If someone is really really drunk, hard to arouse etc. please bring them to the nearest ER. All of us in the ER will hate you for it - but we'll hate you even more if you let them choke on their own vomit and die.

When you're putting a drunk person to bed, always try to lay them in the "Recovery Position". Step by step instructions are here (CLICK!) This will at least reduce the chance of them drowning in their own vomit.

I'm not kidding - it happens more often that you think.... especially amongst young folks. And believe me, resuscitating a person who has aspirated almost always results in a bleak prognosis (they either die, or end up in a coma on a ventilator).

SO please! Even if you're under age or whatever, the trouble You Might get into for consuming alcohol is nothing compared to somebody choking on their vomit and dying.


Just a few thoughts from an old man.

cheers,
 
I have always found that drinking the majority of a bottle of water, and eating a few sandwiches keeps me from feeling sick in the morning. And I take a bunch of Advil for the headaches.
 
great choices! ;)

i should also add, if you are hungover, go out and get the greasiest burger you can find and eat it. it will totally help.

I know this sounds rediculous, but pancakes with sausage and a glass of orange juice helps me more than anything if I have a hangover. If you can stomache to eat when you wake up, it does the trick.
 
The problem people don't understand with eating bread or any food, is that the food absorbs the alcohol, and keeps it in your system longer. It may pause the effect for a while, but once your stomach digests the food, the alcohol goes with it, thus giving you a later dosage of alcohol when you don't want it.

All you need to do is drink lots of water, and piss lots. People think the food helps, but it doesn't. The alcohol is getting into your system regardless of what you do. You just have to make sure you are hydrated. That's all a hangover is. It's dehydration.

Waking up drunk is a different story.

So you were out drinking for a few hours, its 2 am and you're pretty drunk. You have to get up at 7 am the next morning, and NOT be hungover. What do you do? (and drinking more does not count).

5 hours sleep will not do anything good. It is better to stay awake and drink plenty of water. Ask your boss to leave early because you feel "under the weather" :D
