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!
Weird thing is, I think you have to have a prescription to get O2. A prescription for AIR. How's that for capitalism.
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.
scrambled eggs with hot sauce and ketchup, followed by a scuba dive...works every single time down here.
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.
-Green tea- detox + caffeine -marmite/vegemite toast ( dont know if you have that in america, more of a brittish thing)- has lots of vitamin b, which you loose when you drink alc. -Hot shower -one toke of cannabis
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.
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.
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.
