Hangover Cures

[Caserock]

What is everyone's favorite morning after cure? After many years of experimentation (and waking up thinking I was dying! ) - my solution must include:

1/2 Bar Xanax ( helps chill you out and maybe even get some more sleep! )

and 1 or more of the following:
7up
Saltines
French fries
Bloody Mary
Meclizine ( motion sickness pill - can make you sleepy so be careful with Xanys )
Pedialite
Gatorade
Emergen-C
Vitamin Water
Tylenol
Anti-Acid pill
Sex ( or sometimes just an orgasm from any source )
Hot Shower
Massage ( if you can talk someone into it! )
Light physical activity ( like a short walk )
IV ( in emergency room to rehydrate you - if I only had access to one! )


Hope that helps somebody - what are some others?

Hi Caserock:


I've read a little bit about how fighter pilots used to use their on-board oxygen when they had hangovers. They said it was the only real "cure." When your body is breaking down alcohol, it uses oxygen to rip apart the alcohol molecules so your body can get rid of them. (I can attest to this, because with really bad hangovers I often feel like I'm breathing hard, out of breath).
If you can get a lot of oxygen into your system (you mentioned exercise and sex -- both will help), you're body will break down the alcohol faster.
I've tried in the past to find some oxygen to suck on for hangovers, to no avail. I'd love to try it sometime.

Like you, I've tried long tired lists of "cures." The salt and the electrolytes and the sugar and the vitamins you mentioned all help get you back into balance (your body loses a lot from a good drunk) but until the alcohol is gone, you'll feel like shit.

But maybe hangovers are good. If I weren't punished, I'd probably drink much!

[Caserock]

Yeah - when you find that O2 - let me know!

[real_large]

Weird thing is, I think you have to have a prescription to get O2. A prescription for AIR. How's that for capitalism.

[Caserock]

It's like those stupid Oxygen Bars that you pay to sit at and breathe....People walk away like: "Oh I feel so much better and healthier..." BS!

So, Caserock, I guess we just suck it up, have a bloody mary, and start drinking again.

Hangovers: Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow.

[Caserock]

I like it! Cheers :)

scrambled eggs with hot sauce and ketchup, followed by a scuba dive...works every single time down here.

[real_large]

Killin' me, Sam! I just sat down at my computer from eating scrambled eggs with ketchup and hot sauce (I went habanero this time -- kicked it up a notch) ...


I'm now ready for the trifecta: My ass, my couch, college hoops.

[johndoe000]

alot of gatorade or water and a couple advil

[salmon4me]

Drink water non-stop until you piss twice in 45 minutes. Two meals minimum. Good to go.

[kil0]

definitely weed or more alcohol. But weed always does the trick for me. Last last new years eve, not 2008 but 2007, i was locked up for new years 2008 =( , i drank so much alcohol i blacked out. woke up like 12 hours later with the worst hangover of my life. it was one of those i feel like dying hangovers, but sure enough some hits of some very potent chronic made me feel much better.

[Megadeth]

All you need is one glass of water before you pass out and no hang over

[BillyX]

lots of greasy food does the trick for me, some kfc or something like that :P

[fondfarewell]

Yeah just drink plenty of water while your drinking. Always works for me.

[maddhatter]

going for a walk usually helps. staying inside just makes it worse i find.

[navajas]

i always force myself to drink 2 liters of water b4 i got to bed, works like magic. yesterday i drank 1 liter of rum, when i got back home i drank 3 liters of water, woke up 2 day feelin great. i usually eat yogurt, honey and a banana b4 drinkin too. yogurt coats ur stomach n has good bacteria for digestion, honey gives u sufficient energy b4 u drink, bananas have some essential vitamins that get depleted when u drink, i read this in a magazine sumwhere.

[myCHAINisGUCCI]

yeah...i dont get why anyone didnt say that. i always chug a bunch of water before i pass out and i usually feel pretty good in the morning. only problem is when ur soooo drunk u just pass the fuck out without drinkin water haha.

[lostdazedintime]

Find a lampworking buddy with an oxygen concentrator, and drink more water!

[lostdazedintime]

pure oxygen is very good for hangovers, we got an oxygen concentrator that we run a glass torch off of, suck off that for a while.

Weed

[LegendInHisTime]

In my experiences any painkiller of a decent strength works great for hang overs also drink lots of water some weed always help to

[SpENS93]

2 bottles of water and a peice of bread before bed after drinking

never had a hangover

[CircaX43521]

I usually just drink my morning coffee (usually about 3-4 cups) and eat some toast with jelly on it and go back to sleep.

[MeatWagon499]

tons of water, advil if headache is present, and some food preferably meat or something with fat in it

[torz]

when i've been drinking i have something to eat before going to bed, drink a couple cups of red bush tea & take a pint of water to bed with me. this usually stops me having a hangover.

if i do still feel shit in the morning then a full english breakfast is the only thing that will see me right. bacon, eggs, shrooms, beans, chopped toms, maybe some linconshire sausage, plenty of toast & plenty of tea. yummy, i could just eat this now.
