Favourite hangover cure
 

As I'm, er, recovering from a chance meeting with alcohol last night, I was wondering which hangover cures the boardies recommend. Any surefire suggestions?

i favor bloody marys. of course they get you drunk again. but hey! that's just double the fun. well actually they help a bit. how can i explain...

roughly you do this:

get a nice pitcher & put ice at the bottom. cubes, not crushed.
add 6 oz. a nice vodka. i like stolichnaya but anything good will do. you definitely do not want the kind that makes you blind, here.
add the juice of 1 lemon.. about 1/2 ounce?
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
stir the stuff
pour in 16oz. organic tomato juice (i don't know what you have in england, in amerikkka i use knudsen)
stir a little more
add some fresh ground black pepper
garnish w/ lime wedges

if that does not cure your hangove it will at least make you happy.

i like to eat this will all sorts of revivifying breakfast foods...

walk, exersice, vitamin b12, d and c, diet coke, orgasm, shower, water, ibuprofen, sleep, cup of tea.

one prescription 600mg Ibproffen pill...always works for me

ibuprofen fucks with your liver. so does acetaminophen (tylenol). so does alcohol. why further abuse the little guy? mixtures like that are dangerous... stick to alcohol as a cure :p

I can't remember the last time I had a hangover.

There is no cure.

I don't understand why I ever voluntarily made myself feel so ill.

I'm the smug one after a party/night out, who gets up the next day with a spring in my step and plays music really loud.

I also don't smoke or do any drugs, kick dogs, kill bees, queue jump, shout, swear, or steal.

I'm 5'11" and would like to meet a woman with similar disinterests, into eating out in smoke-free restaurants, going to serious theatre, and live music (no dancers please).

Lucozade and a fried breakfast.

high blood sugar + fried foods = inflammation

The best one is prevention, also known as moderation.

Yeah, that's exactly what he wants to hear right now!

Probably...Lucozade is a short term thing to pep you up a bit.

If I was hung over I'd probably drink a lot of cups of tea and eat some toast. I haven't had a bad hang over for years though.

taking aspirin before you go to bed does help somewhat. if you check it out on wikipedia they have some almost useful hints.

iain you dont drink! how do you know about hangover cures? is there something your not telling us? the first step is to admit it. hehe

I think a fried breakfast is more of a gague of just how hung over you are. If you keep it down you suddenly realise "hey, I'm not as hungover as I thought" and if you puke it up then you eventually get that post vomiting feeling of relief. That's the science behind it.

Yeah, I don't drink now but that hasn't always been the case. I've had hangovers many a time. It's just been so long I can't really remember how bad they are (apart from the few absolute horrors of hangovers which still live on in the memory)

Yeah, gosh, I feel so sorry for him.

Patient: It hurts when I do this.

Doctor: Then don't do that!

Your concern touches me. In a very special place. One day, I'll let you touch that special place.

a sip of the drink that got you hungover in the first place!

'hair of the dog'
AKA
homeopathy

Yes, well, it wasn't like anybody held you down and dumped a bottle of scotch down your throat, now was it?

hhAAA hahaha aaaaa

oh that was good.

i laffed.

That's not what I remember, young man! :D It was vodka wot dun it.

Anyroad, thanks for all suggestions so far.

Not really I hardly take them because I very rarely ever get hangovers. Ive been known to drink 17 pints, 2 shots of absinthe, wake up go to sixth form and still be the most attentive in the class. Of all the problems I have hangovers arent one of them.

I'm all laughs, me. Well, I have to amuse myself during the 12 hours I'm locked in the mental asylum each day. I did tell you about that, didn't I?

Cheese too, dont do cheese.

ha. well i have to go have my own breakfast. no alcohol though. but i recommend the bloody mary. with some "red hot blues" corn chips oh it's perfection. and maybe some grilled salmon hors d'oeuvres. and a few raw oysters. and a jucy steak. and eggs benedict. oh yummy....

(In Homer Simpson mode) - Arrrgh! No cheese, either? Marge, this is the worst day of my life!

seriously exercise is a really good way of geting rid of it. dont just sit around because its just awful.

Someone told me something about there being some kind of reaction in yr stomach that makes it worse. A problem to someone like me who loves both cheese and alcohol. In fact why do people have cheese and wine do's then? This has opened up quandrys ive been neglecting to consider... im going out.

I'm sorry, Melly, I don't mean to seem so insensitive, and I'm no tea totaller meself. But I've probably not drunk to excess in like 15 years or more.

I've learned to enjoy really good beer, and I take my time drinking and savoring it. I might go through 6-10 beers a week, but never more than a couple a night--usually while I'm preparing dinner. Drinking a good beer or wine while making a nice meal is a great experience.

The only thing for a hangover is sweet tea, beans on toast and the will-power not to try and masturbate.

a lotta water

drink 4-5 glasses of water after you're done drinking/before going to bed and i promise you wont be hungover.

I'm a big believer in the Chinese Buffet, if you can hold down food.

Egg drop soup makes you feel mighty again.

haha, but you will wet the bed.

Lots of water, popsicles, and eat a bunch of stuff because after all, you deserve a break because of all the booze you drank last night.

I'll have to be hitting these methods up tomorrow because I'm pretty drunk off of rum and root beers.

Fucking a goat.

Eat a whopper, drink some tea and sit in the sun.

Time.

water green tea and a few pills of viatimin b12

NONONONONONONONO!!
I still can't drink Vodka, 6 months on. I can't even smell the stuff. Can't drink Brandy either, two months on. Though both times I had 7+ drinks in an hour.

This is my magic 4:

1.taking a shit
2.taking a shower
3.drink a lot of orange juice or eat some oranges if possible
4.open the windows and get some fresh air
