Cures for hangovers

[Desert_Sky]

Don't discount those of us who learned a trick or two in college, then perfected the medications later on. Wait until you wake up thinking it's the first day of creation, then realizing you drank, ate, smoked, inhaled, popped, dropped, and snorted just about everything you've ever heard of all in one night.

Sure am glad I'm all grown up now.

ahh yes, all those wonderful memories. or to put it better, lack of memories :fro:

I haven't been to a Phish show in years.

Too bad, because I bet I could make a killing selling homebrew to hippies. $4.00 per cup. Hippies have great taste when it comes to beer.

Cheesefood, I think I remember getting pretty heated a while back when you went on a hippie bashing rant in some thread...now that I've "gotten to know you" a bit I'm pretty sure you were being sarcastic! Would've never pinned you as a phish head (my favorite band)!

In addition to all the great advice so far (liquids, vitamins, hair'o'dog, etc.), you also need a healthy dose of FAT! Think Waffle House. Get a newspaper. Order a waffle, hash browns (scattered, smothered, and covered), side of bacon. Also coffee, OJ, and a diet pepsi. Hang out for a while. Do the soduko. Read the op-ed page (it'll make you feel superior, even if you are hung over).

Chick-fil-a is a close second. Bojangle's sausage'n'gravy biscuit comes in close in third place. Any local diner or mexican breakfast trumps all of the above.

Ain't that the truth...my favorite used to be the Burger King at Mission Valley near NC State. Somehow they made their fried even greasier than most BK's. Bojangles was a close second and since my roommate subsisted off Bojangles and had a car I consumed a number of Cajun filet biscuit combos on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

I never could sleep when I was hungover, anyways.

I tend to lean towards a steak bagel from McDonalds...as I did this morning.

There are several people at work who swear by pickle juice. They even keep a jar in the fridge just in case.

you do realize that our homebrew is chock full of vitamin B? Most of us don't filter out all the natural goodness. :rockin:

Absolutely. My experience supports the comments posted here about hangovers being far milder or non-existent with homebrew. I usually do the B-vitamin regemin if I've been hitting the BMC a little hard (such as on college football gameday) or if a big italian dinner leads me to an evening of big red wine.

Also, I've been known to hit the Beam/Jack 'n Coke on occasion. Of all my hangovers, those are the ones that make me feel the most off. Not necessarily the most painful or nauseous, just the most not-quite-right feeling the next day. The B-vits work wonders on those occasions.

Hippies = non-working addicts who panhandle and contribute nothing to society. See 'Tour Scum' or 'Tour Rats'. Hippies sit in drum circles and think the answers to the worlds problems can only be found while sitting around getting high. They talk a lot but do nothing.

Big difference between hippies and long-haired free-thinking activist radicals. I think of Hippie as along the lines of the N-word or Hillbilly. College students who call themselves hippies because they quit showering, grow dreadlocks and think they're in touch with Jah because they occasionally listen to Bob Marley's "Legend" CD are just wearing a costume of youth. They aren't hippies, they're just self-expressing while they still can. I self-expressed when I was younger too. But I wasn't a hippy, I was a college student.

Most of today's "Hippies" read a Chomsky book or listen to a leftist teacher and think they know everything about subjects like globalization. They bug the hell out of me.

But I'm a big-time lover of Phish. Been to well over 30 shows, as well as following bands like Leftover Salmon, moe. and a couple of Widespread Panic shows and other jam-bands.

I swear by vitamin B12. Take 500 mg before you go out drinkng. I take one every morning just in case. If you forget........ a V8 in the morning usually does the trick.

yep....hair of the dog. We got a little bit tore up friday night. We were drinking my Delerium Tremons and my Hennepin. Musta been good, my buddy came by the next afternoon and said he didnt remember anything after he left and his wife is pissed. LOL. DT is good about that.
