Best Hangover Cures?

[Cheeto]

Two words: banana bag.

+10 to the 56th power

or Menudo

Plenty of water, a naproxin, chorizo and eggs, an orgasm and a short nap.

Hmmm... the NAP is what I've been missing!

 

[mordantly]

when you wake up, drink a couple beers. snaps the spins right out.

Drink water while you are drinking. If you somehow still have a hangover, eat a big breakfast with sausage, bacon, and orange juice. Those have the main vitamins you will need.

Frova + gatorade the before bed

or

Maxalt + gatorade in the morning (or sumatriptan)

Oral rehydration solution is cheaper than gatorade:
1 liter (about 1 pint) water, 4 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking SODA. Sits much easier on the stomach than gatorade--no flavors, no artificial sweeteners, no colors.

 

[Houblon]

Prevention is the best.

But we all know it happens so if you can eat without puking, a greasy meal along with gatorade works great.

The greasy meal (eggs/bacon) helps the stomach , diluted gatorade(50/50) helps with blood sugar/fluids and if you smoke ->Cannabis is a vasodilator along with easing the nausea.

But really every other drink should be a small glass of water to help prevent the hangover in the first place.

Pedialite and two advils before bed, nothing beats it

 

[SpanishCastleAle]

If you've tried several things but still haven't quite gotten rid of it, a spicy Bloody Mary seems to finish the job.

My hangover problem is always my brain going into overstimulated mode to compensate for the alcohol. Rarely have nausea, but I'm always nervous, jittery, getting the need to get up and walk/do something, and feeling generally uncomfortable - and it usually lasts all day (sometimes into the next day).

I'm still in search of good sedative that will stop the hyperstimulation without having the opposite effect. So, until I find something, best thing for me is avoiding any stimulants like crazy, desperately to take a nap, and lots of water just because I know I'm also dehydrated.

Saw this a few weeks ago and meant to post it here, but forgot until now:

Pretty neat article about separating hangover cure myth from fact.

Also, since others are sharing and because I'm bored at work my "hangovers" when I get them, are pretty much exclusively nausea. Which sucks because I HATE nausea....I'd rather the headache/jitteriness/anything else. I usually go for a bit of Pepto, as much water as I can keep down, and as much sleep as I can get.

I drink a glass of water with each "drink" (shot of whiskey, glass of wine, bottle of beer) and I rarely wake up feeling rough. Couple months ago I drank 2 bottles of wine and didn't do the water and I woke up with the worst headache. Didn't try to "cure it" figured I deserved it for #1 polishing off 2 bottles of wine late in the evening and #2 not drinking much water with it.

+1 to the above post.Additionaly I notoiced a marked improvement on the above if one eats a fair sized balanced meal ie.. peanut butter toast, sandwich and a whole **** load of tomato juice for K+ and Na+ ions. Tomato juice also contains other vitamins, minerals and ions which are usefull in recovery. Best dry heave avoidinance on the market eat big eat natural...

 

[magarnigel]

I'm not one for drugs so I stick to Gatorade and a big bowl of pho or pozole, depending on the severity of the hangover. So good!

 

[jiggs_casey]

A couple of advil and lots of sleep...

 

[Hannable1975]

Eat Grapefruit. Full of vitimin C.

Plus, I read on the internet it tastes like Simcoe Hops....

I like grapefruit. I want Simcoe hops. I've heard they taste like grapefruit.

So does ibuprofen.

 

[mattmuir]

Glass of water for every two beers, big glass before bed. Then, act like I am sick (not from drinking) so SWMBO feels sorry and cooks comfy food.

 

[c8h12n4o3]

Before I go to bed I drink as much water as I can hold...Sometime I force hydrate and my stomach feels solid as a rock. I go to be full, but wake up just fine. As long as I remember to do this before bed I'm in the clear the next day. If tequila is involved I always take some kind of headache relief pill.

 

[DrinksWellWithOthers]

-Drink water while you're drinking beer
-Chug a bunch of water before you go to bed
-Wake up and take some advil and drink more water
-Hop in the shower
-Get something greasy to eat. I like Chinese food.

My game plan is as follows:

1. I don't drink water during drinking just beer
2. Before going to bed I slam a Gatorade
3. Wake up and shower
4. Drink a zipfiz energy drink (loads of Vitamin B)
5. Ibuprofen for headache, if needed
6. Eat breakfast with fluids

That's it. Come mid-morning I feel 100%. I think Vitamin B12, a shower and electrolytes are key.
