Hangover Cures

[Tjodalv]

Continue being drunk rather than hungover. Alternately, drinking a glass of water per shot/beer/whatever throughout the course of the evening helps lessen the blow quite a bit (a hangover is pretty much equal parts being poisoned and dehydrated).

How much do you guys drink to get a hangover? Is it a few drinks, a lot of drinks, a shit ton?

I ask because I don't drink too often but I noticed no matter how much I drink I never get hungover. Usually when I drink and stay out all night, I'll get 3-4 hours of sleep that night and wake up feeling great. It's weird.

A ******* while watching Netflix always does the trick for me. Make sure it's a romantic comedy though to keep the chic interested and avoid scary or violent movies as you don't want her to accidentally bite down because she gets scared or startled.

I'm only 31, but in my experience there is a huge difference in after effects between 25 years and 30. If I get almost through a bottle of whiskey now, I'm looking at a hellish hangover possibly stretching in to a second day. Of course I'll get through a pack of cigarettes in a six hour drinking stint too which is probably as bad if not worse than the booze itself.

As far as a hangover goes, I get up early on purpose, drink a ton of water, take ibuprofen, and then go back to sleep. As mentioned a few times above, if youre living with a head doctor, and she's willing, that helps before the nap. I only really drink twice a month now so when I do I really go for the gold, but yeah, binge drinking is absolutely terrible for you.

It is it. I could drink heavy for a week straight when I was 25 and younger and not miss a beat. Not no more. Hangovers come with age and it depends what you drink. Hangover is just dehydration. Drinking sweet things like soda, daiquiris, wine spritzers for you queens, and things like that will give you a mega hangover. Drink crown and coke all night and see how you feel. Then, drink crown and a little water all night and see how you feel. You will feel much better with the crown and water

Electrolytes - anything with salt and/or potassium. The reason why the things mentioned above (fruit juices, pickle juice, gatorade) help. Also the reason why I usually crave a burger and fries the next day.

Agree with the bloody mary. Plenty of salt and a little of hair of the dog really takes the edge off.

You can also try a prairie oyster: Click here for the recipe

Yes age is everything.

20, no hangovers
25, little bit.
28, yes.
35, sick as ****.
I'm 58 now, if I see someone drinking I puke.

All the night before stuff is great. All the vitamins and juices are great.

1. Cure if you have unlimited time:
All the vitamin and night before stuff helps. Sleep through as much of the hangover as possible, that is the best "cure". When you wake up decide if you have to puke, if so get it the **** over with before you do anything else. Now re-hydrate, my favorite is Pedialyte Cherry Punch, it's for children, but it's low cal, tastes okay and works faster than Gatorade, which is a fine second choice. The next part can be complicated, while re-hydrating, sweat, profusely. If you are in a hotel hit the sauna, if you have a sauna (congratulations on your success) use it. If no sauna is available, run your shower hot and catch a shvitz. I have been in a situation where the best I could do was thermal underwear, layers of sweats, winter coat, hat, and working out. So sweating the easiest way available. You will notice the feel of your sweat change as the Pedialyte/Gatorade makes it through your system, it goes from being thick and sticky to normal sweat, the viscosity of water. This method combined with the vitamins mentioned in earlier posts will have you feeling better in 3-4 hours, and ready to start again in 6 hours.


2. Limited amount of time to try and get well. Disclaimer This is NOT a cure. It will help you survive in an emergency with out getting high, this is if you have to go to work:
0.5mg of Xanax
1 Maximum Strength Pepcid AC
400-800mg of Ibuprofen


Happy New Years all!
