    Default Hangover Cures

    Hey Everyone!
    I did a search but no cures came up..
    We were dead at work last night and I drank myself sick.. I wasn't super drunk, but man I am feeling the pain today!
    Anyone have any good hangover cures?
    My Boy friend just went out to get Ginger Ale and McDonald's (ugh, but it works).
    Thanks ladies and gents!
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    Time. Sorry, but all those 'cures' are really fake.

    Food'll just absorb the alchohol... it's still in your system and doesn't make it 'better'. really... >_<

    But, uh, hold your head upside down, plug your nose and recite the alphabet backwards.

    Hey, placebo effect. XD

    Vitamin Water, Gatorade, Powerade, etc... all those will help. Hangovers are caused by dehydration, so what you need to do is get re-hydrated and get your electrolytes back up. Have something with plenty of protein and a little fat for breakfast (like sausages and eggs or something), and drink a ton of water or sports beverages like the ones above. I had a horrible hangover a couple weeks ago, but after two bottles of Vitamin Water I was fine.

    ^^^I agree. I usually drink gaterade after a night of drinking before I go to bed, if I remember and that helps a lot too.

    A drinker once told me that before they go to bed
    if they were out drinking, to always take two
    asprin before bed with a big glass of water.
    That most of the time will prevent hangovers.

    I always drink a BIG cup of water (usually 2) before I go to bed. You gotta "flush" it out..

    Homeopathic stuff called Nux Vomica. An absolute miracle. I used to work at a stable for a homeopathic horselady. Shoveling manure four hours after my last drink- awful. As nauseous as a person can possibly get, but I stole some of those pills they use for colic (homeopathic tinctures can't hurt either if you don't take too much, and it's very hard to over consume the pills). Amazingly effective.

    Pedialyte. The shit for little kids to balance out electrolytes etc... you can find it in the "baby" isle. It puts Gatorade and other sports drinks to shame.

    me and my sis (her being even more of a partyer than me) swear by 2 aspirin, a piece of toast, and a huge glass of water before bed the night before...
    Then I always have a hangover breakfast at some greasy spoon...no clinical data to show it helps, but its always done the trick for me!

    The water and asprin trick usually works for me. When I worked at the mall yeas ago I swore by a slice of greasy pizza. A friend always had a sweet ice tea and butter biscuit from Hardee's.

    BTW, I didn't think you were drunk at all! It was great working with ya!

    Alex, a good friend of Mox's (and a former alcoholic), always took Alka Seltzer (sp?) during or shortly after drinking. He said he'd never had a hangover since he started doing that (I'm thinking it's similar to the asprin thing?).

    2 Bananas, a multivitamin, and a ton of water before bed.

    When you get up, a bottle of pedialyte (great stuff!) and a pain reliever sold in the UK called Solpadeine Plus. You can get it online, it comes in an Alkaseltzer format, and contains caffeine and codeine.

    There's a drawback to the pedialyte - drink it often enough, and you WILL gain weight. Oh hell, the alchohol will do that too.....

    Hangovers are a result of dehydration. Some alcohols cause worse hangovers than others. It is best to stick with a clear liquor. The best "cure" for a hangover is water and LOTS of it. Also an Advil won't hurt either.

    When you are drunk, just leave a note or something to remember that before you go to sleep you have to drink as much water as you can. You won't feel like it, but do it anyway.

    I do this everytime I drink, and it's helped me with lots of hangovers. Sometiemes I don't even have them, but when I do, they're not as strong as they should've been.

    The night before drink A LOT of water ad take a Tylenol PM so you can sleep it off but if you are already hungover then a half a Vicodin and 2 cups of coffee always works for me.

    Crackers(saltines)...if you are still nauseous/ have alcohol in your stomach, then Lipton's chicken noodle soup....which is mainly salty broth. I have found that my hangover headaches go away faster with the soup, it is easy on the stomach and leaves you feeling fuller.

    Vitamin Water - the dark pink kind that says "Dragonfruit"

    Also, I find if I drink a bottle of water and take some vitamins before bed, that helps too.

    Someone mentioned bananas, and I have heard that before too. Never tried it though because I am not big on the taste of bananas.
