is that what you spend yr ema money on? tsk tsk. i'm pretty sure that all a hangover is is dehydration. drink lots and lots of water. much more than you think you need. like 4 or 5 pints. juice is also good, hydrating and vitaminey. getting out in the fresh air also seems to help, stretch those legs!!! |
Smoke a bowl.
Seriously, it doesn't just mask your hangover for 2 hours, it'll be gone as soon as you come down. If you're not into pot then here's my other remedy: Cigarettes Coffee Pancakes Muffins More food with carbs More cigarettes |

yes far to much of it i'm afraid. I've stopped drinking (and smoking) for awhile, get detoxed ready for uni in september! |
obviously, those of you suggesting food for a hangover have never had a real hangover...
|
I used to have REAL ones when I was like 14 or 15 but sinceabout 16 ive never really had a problem..strange I know, it sees the more I drank the immune I got to hangovers..

I know what you mean. I've had a couple of really bad ones where the thought of getting up and moving around is thoroughly uninviting, let alone keeping down food. |

where are you going to uni after all? |
Quote:
Just Replace the Pancakes with "Palatschinken", then it´s perfect. |
Im going to 'Cardiff School of Creative and Cultural Industries'..im doing music.
|
What so you mean detoc for uni? So you are fresh for more drinking when you get there?
I think I did all of my drinking at university and about 2 years prior to that. For the time being anyway. The lack of hangovers and extra change in my pocket is a boon for sure. |

oh, is that the new place you were talking about? the place that isn't actually built yet? |
Quote:
Yeah exactly! Must prepare my liver for freshers week! Yeah Lucy my uni isnt built yet. They promise it will be finished by july. But if all fails its belongs to the University of Glamorgan, so we will all have to go there whilst its being finished.. |
Is that the one that's in Treforest or somewhere obscure?
|
Yeah Glamorgan is in Treforest, but the place im going to be in is in Cardiff
http://cci.glam.ac.uk/slideshow/ this is a slideshow of what it is suposingly going to look like |
being sick with a hangover is about one of the worst things that can happen. being sick in bed is the worst.

Or...

No problem. I'm a lot more sensible than what I usd to be on the booze front, but have to admit I still find falling off the wagon once in a while to be fun. Am with you on the wine thing - I do enjoy a good red wine with a meal. |
Well I drink the cheap stuff usually when im out with my friends, but drink really good Beers and Ales all through the week. When I was younger about 13/14 (yes...i do live Wales in my defence) I used to be really into wine. I dunno ive just gone totally off it now.
Its always nice to see people actually enjoying Beer. Beer doesnt really get the respect it deserves. So many people just see it as a cheap drink. |
Carling is Satans Jizz kickback

I eat like a mad man the next day.

what a joke. Nothing better than a Whopper when hung over. |
Sayin'.

I agree that food is not a good thing when sporting a hangover. Nothing is... other than perhaps sun.
|
i try to drink tons of water so that it rinses out my defeated toxic gut . that way i at least have something to release.....ANYTHING is better than painful dry heaving .
better yet is drinking tons of water the night im drinking . not always that smart , though . |
Quote:
Actually, and add sleep to that. If you're a great sleeper (which I am not) then you're lucky when it comes to hangovers. If you can sleep all day then you've got it made. |
brushing your teeth and a shower helps a hell of a lot.

Orange juice stirs up an upset stomach though.
|
haha yeh goon, so cheap and bad
Passion Pop *spew* |
Sushi with a large cup of agari.

diet coke is good for an upset stomach as it has a neutral ph.

yeah the only thing is i got so used to wine drinking it from a young age (Not excessively of course...with dinner and stuff) I got to much of a tollerance for it so it doesnt get me drunk even that well now. Whiskey is my big weakness a few doubles will get me inhumanly pissed. Im such a Whiskey lightweight. Slightly off topic but ZEROpumpkins what kinda priviliges do SY Board members get on your Pavement message board (LOL)...i'm thinking of joining... |
after going all round the gardens with this one once i have come to realise that the best way to get rid of a hangover is to actually get drunk again.
either that or loads of water, loads to the point where yr actually shitting water. |

Study Reveals How Drunken Bats Sober Up
Bats often risk getting drunk off cocktails of alcohol that stew inside ripened fruit. And just as driving is dangerous for intoxicated humans, so is flying for boozy bats. Now scientists find bats are savvy enough to dine on certain types of fruit sugar to help them get over the ill effects of alcohol. These findings could shed light on how wildlife deals with alcohol. Bats make up one-quarter of all mammal species. Almost one-third of all bats live on the juices of fruits and the nectar of flowers. Fruits such as figs and dates accumulate ethanol, or drinking alcohol, as they ripen. While Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) prefer such fruits when they are ripe, as little as a 1 percent concentration of ethanol is toxic for the bats. Even concentrations of less than 1 percent ethanol can make fruit bats sluggish against predators or hamper their ability to avoid obstacles. (For comparison, pale lager beers that most consumers are familiar with are typically 5 percent alcohol by volume.) "There is very little (research) on the effect of ethanol in wild animals," explained biologist Francisco Sanchez at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel. Sanchez and his colleagues detailed their findings on intoxicated bats on April 1 at the Society for Experimental Biology meeting in Glasgow, Scotland. In the past, scientists have suggested the simple sugar fructose, which occurs in fruits and honey, could help the body break down ethanol. Sanchez and his colleagues gave Egyptian fruit bats liquid meals that contained miniscule levels of drinking alcohol and either fructose, glucose or sucrose. Glucose is a simple sugar found in most plant and animal tissue, while sucrose, commonly known as table sugar, is a combination of one fructose molecule and one glucose molecule. Breath tests revealed that alcohol levels dropped faster after feeding on fructose-loaded meals than when given food containing either sucrose or glucose. They also found that as the amount of booze in food increased, the fruit bats preferred fructose-rich food more than glucose-laden food. Curiously, even though sucrose did not appear to help combat intoxication as well as fructose did, the fruit bats preferred food that contained sucrose over foods with either fructose or glucose, regardless of whether or not there was alcohol in the food. Perhaps for the bats, "some sugars taste better than others," Sanchez told LiveScience. "The perception of sweetness versus bitterness may vary according the type of sugar and the amount of ethanol consumed. The combination of sucrose and ethanol may just have tasted better than either ethanol and fructose, or ethanol and glucose." |
Awesome. Cheap brandy here I come again!
