Try to get to bed as early as possible sleeping as much as you can will help alot. Also I found drinking stuff with electrolytes (gatorade, powerade, etc) before you go to bed will help re-hydrade your system since a big cause for a hangover is dehydration.

Just drink alot of water when you're drinking, that's the secret key, just keep yourself hydrated.

drink lots of water, as you drink and after. try to remember to go to bed with a water bottle next to you, for the next morning. some people pop a couple aspirin before they go to sleep or have some alka-seltzer the next day; I don't bother with either. if you aren't throwing up a lot, but have a headache, I'd advise you to have a couple more drinks before you eat anything. marijuana might help as well, unless you feel excessively sick and still have the spins.

just remember, when a hangover is really really bad, the only thing to do is tough it out.

but look, if you have to wake up at 5 in the morning for work, I'd advise either not drinking too much, or calling in sick.

Anytime, im feeling messed up in the morning, be it from alchol weed or salvia, I hate to smoke or drink anything, for me it just intensafies the pain.

lol it's cute that you're trying to get rid of a hangover that hasn't happened yet!

I don't usually get hangovers. I get hungover before I go to bed. If that makes sense. Usually I have one two many drinks, and smoke one too many bowls and end up with a massive headache at the end of the night. This was my problem last night, but I woke up fine, and actually had some energy for a change. Not sure why.

You should be taking a mulitvitamin everyday, and stay hydrated like the above posters said. And as long as you get to bed before midnight you should be okay. Have fun!

drink a lot of liquids like water and juice in between beers, shots, or cocktails.

dont stay up late. getting enough sleep is key. if you're gonna get pass-out drunk the night before you have to be at work at five, drink early. if i have to get up for an open shift at my store (which means being at work at five sometimes) then honestly i just get drunk around 5 or so and am ready to go to bed by 9:30 or 10. along with drinking plenty of fluids and some juice or something, and not getting COMPLETELY black-out drunk, i can usually avoid a hangover altogether

if you have a hangover and need to get rid of it, best ways are drinking water and taking something like alka-seltzer or tylenol. in my opinoin weed rarely helps much. cigarettes SURELY dont help much and i've never heard of clove cigarettes being a hangover remedy (where'd you hear that, btw?)

coca & ginger laden green tea has helped in the past. ginger is great for an upset stomach, the coca is generally revitalizing, and the green tea and ginger help make the coca taste better. a small quantity of alcohol sometimes helps a little, but sometimes makes it worse, and if you do it too early then you'll still pretty much just be drunk.

if you have to get up early for work, just dont drink too late. if you're drinking till 2 and need to be up at 5, you may be very likely driving drunk on your way to work...not cool

One time I drank at least half of a 750ml bottle of 100 proof vodka, and had to wake up to drive my boyfriend to work for 6am. I was REALLY drunk when I went to bed, had the spins, and everything. I was still way too drunk to drive when I woke up for 6am. I was all over the road and stuff. It sucked, but I made it home okay.

Easy.

Drink water between beers and piss a lot.
Take two Ibuprofen before bed and sleep with your legs slightly elevated.
Get up, piss, take two Ibuprofen.
Drink a V-8.
Drink Gatorade all day long.

The V-8 really helps, maybe have two.


THIS WORKS NEARLY 90% OF THE TIME FOR ME.

I'm a pro. :)

I don't think Ive ever had a hangover in my life....

If I smoke to often Ill feel really tired and sort of hazy/groggy, but its not too bad.

I would give yourself enough time in the morning to do everything slowly, have some really hot tea and eat a grapefruit:)

i didn't hear of cloves being a remedy, they are just the type of cig i smoke.
Thanks for all the advise. One time when I went to work hung over, (i'm a breakfast cook), it was terrible. I would be cooking food, go back to the toilet to puke, wash my hands, and go back to cook.

not a good idea. if you are bent on drinking heavily, do it early, and allow yourself plenty of sleeping time, and drink plenty of water and fruitjuice both before and after you wake up.

pot helps to settle the stomachs of many people, but i have never experienced this phenomenon once despite smoking hundreds and hundreds of times, both while sick and in good health.

i have once or twice gotten sick from getting too high too fast.

i've had a friend who always threw up after a bongrip.

but many, many, many other people swear by marijuana as a means to cure virtually any stomach ailment. i dont doubt its effectiveness, i just know it doesnt work that way for everyone, and unfortunately i'm not one of those people it helps in this regard.

a friend of mine swears by drinking pedialyte or whatever its called before bed to help eliminate the risk of a hangover. i'd imagine gatorade would work in essentially the same way.

either way stay hydrated and healthy, and if theres not enough time to sober up and sleep for at LEAST 6 hours before you have to be at work, then there is by no means enough time to drink heavily, in my opinion. i've gone to work hungover, and i've gone to work a bit drunk from the night before....neither one is fun, and both can end up in termination if you're unlucky. its just a bad idea.

just use common sense, stay hydrated, and make sure you get enough sleep, and you should be fine. i'd also advise against hard liquor, especially hard liquor of low quality, if you're worried about a hangover

Alcohols a waste of money to me. I would rather just get high and not get sick the next day and wake up early with the worlds worst headache and be puking my guts out. Why dont you just smoke and then you wont have to worry about it.

Drink lots of water before you pass out or vitamin drinks. Orange juice is good too. I've never personally had a hangover from marijuana so maybe you shouldn't drink if you don't want the negative feelings the day aftewards.

fuck god.

If you are still up with like 2-1 hours till work. Dont go to bed, it feels worse with a pathetic ammount of sleep than it does with none imo

not if i'm so hung over i can't even hold down plain water....

then more booze is the LAST thing that would help!

but if im just feeling a little sub-par and a bit headachey, a small drink (a shot, or a single beer) plus a lot of water and a little mild food will work wonders

Yea, of course if we are talkin massive, head blasting, puking
all over, wanting to crawl into a hole and die kind of hangover
then obviously drinking more is going to make things worse.
But a regular hangover is caused by the absence of alcohol
in the bloodstream, and one beer like you said, perfects the
balance to keep you feeling fine.

hmmmm....i want some tequila tonight....too bad i'm broke

probably get some cheap beer instead.

but cabo wabo reposado would be absolutely heavenly.

nesta
11-20-2007, 07:09 PM
whats orloff? how bad is it? i mean, if i can't drink it straight or at least close to it, in my opinion its too nasty to drink....for instance i can manage to drink seagrams 7 or gordons vodka or gin reasonably well, though if i get the vodka or gin i usually get some vermouth, too and just make poor mans martinis. malt liquor i find easier to drink than cheap hard liquor, and easier to drink than some other kinds of cheap beer (i'd choose schlitz red bull or olde english or even steel reserve over natty ice or even budweiser most of the time...its certainly not chimay, but the price is right for what it is)

but some shit i just can't stomach, and lately i've been favoring beer over liquor, especially when i'm broke. cheap beer is easier for me to handle than cheap liquor usually. plus i can get a 40 of some beer stronger than most for less than three bucks...less than two, if i get schlitz instead of oe....and then i just get a LITTLE buzzed and have nothing left to drink, but can't go get more. more economical....

if i get cheap liquor, i STILL drink in excess and get trashed, but enjoy it less and am more prone to getting sick or hungover.

No, a hangover is the result of not having enough sugar or water in your system after drinking alcohol. Drink a couple glasses water, have some candy or chocolate bar, sleep and wake up feeling almost great again.

water n hudrating like already mentioned, but things like a multi, b-complex n probably the best i've used is a liver cleanser.....i often cleanse my entire digestive system and when i was using LIV-52 that shit seemed to flush alcohol out my system asap....try 2 or 3 of the pills before u crash for the night
