HANGOVERS

[I have a question]

I thought this would be an interesting topic for a Monday. What's your best hangover cure? Is there anything that gives you a worse hangover?

I'll go first. advil, a big glass of gatorade, then back to bed for 2 hrs
Red wine & IPA beer are my hangover demons

Best hangover cure... prevention, don't drink so much, haha. If you do, hydration before you sleep is key, as much water as you think you can handle, + one more glass.
Whatever you do, don't take tylenol. Combined with alchohol it's completely devastating to your liver.
For the next morning, believe it or not, New England clam chowder will work wonders. Eat a bowl and go back to sleep if you can. You'll wake up feeling like you didn't even drink.

[I have a question]

Clam chowder huh? Interesting! I wonder if that's what Ted Kennedy got up and ate after his little Chappaquiddick episode.

Lots of water and smoke pot

Hair of the Dog!!!! (only sure thing for me if I'm really hung over. works every time. If you are going to work in the morning, you're shit out of luck then.)

[lonewolf]

Half of a hangover comes from dehydration.

Drink a lot of water and take 3 or 4 aspirin before going to bed. If you wake up in the middle of your sleep, drink more water and take another aspirin.

Don't take tylenol or ibuprofin after drinking a lot--this is not at all good for your liver.

[I have a question]

I'm LOLing about you guys cautioning about liver damage in a hangover thread.

DON"T TYPE SO LOUD!!!

Use to be some recipe for something with Tabaso sauce...But I forget what it was...

I could have used this Sunday morning tho I did have mine (hangover)start at 5 am when I went to bed!.....

I tryed the coffee and beans tho...that helped...I felt like I was where I left off in the morning (at 5 am),,,ready to keep going!!...Till I remembered we had to go and tear down the equipment from the night before...LOL

For me, its ritchey's tea. I drink so much of that shit. My boss swears by some alkaseltzer (dunno how to spell that) type of day-after hangover-killer.

If nothin else, just get drunk again.


Also, drink better beers. I swear I can drink an ocean of Yuengling and be alright the next day, but if Im stuck drinking some shitty beer like bud, milwaukee's best, or something like that, super-hangover.

Another good way to avoid a hangover is NOT pound down the wild turkey.

Tylenol increases liver damage exponentially when combined with alcohol.
On rare occasions the combination has caused liver failure and death.
Not too funny, but hey... knock yourself out.

dont drink = no hangover

[mistikalvalkrie]

pound several glasses of water and then go to bed...nothing to it.
Of course, I don't really have any cause to post in this thread because I can count the number of times I've been drunk on one hand and still have enough fingers left to scratch my head....but, on those rare occasions where this has happened, the water helped out greatly.

I do agree with drinking good beer though. I can't drink schwag beer.

[Colton]

Life's too short to drink crap booze. That be my motto!

ok

O.K. I can't believe that the best cures haven't even been mentioned yet!
Remember to hydrate yourself fully before engaging in any post libation activities.
#1 Good SEX! (adrenaline,endorphins,sweating,massaging,and other benefits)
#2 V8 Juice (hydration,nutrition,a bonk on the head)
#3 Magic shower (this is an alternating hot and cold shower and should help circulation as well as getting all that bar smell out of your nose and hair)

Things that will make it worse.
1. I definately agree cheap booze is the worst. Stick with quality beer and light colored wine and shots.
2. lay off the cigarettes the night of drinking and the day after. (this is always true and always easier said than done). If you must smoke, other herbal blends offer an effective pain relief option and tend to be self regulating in their dosage.
3. Don't lay around all day and feel miserable. Get back on the horse because you know you don't belong on the wagon.

If this sounds like the voice of too much experience then you need to party more. You should go and get some booze and some instruments and rent or build a large gathering hall. When everything is ready to go, get ahold of me and I will show you what to do next.

Oh, and for all of you who say the best hangover cure is not to drink. You need to get webster's dictionary and read the section on "cure" and compare it to the section on "prevent". Sorry if this sounds harsh but the public needs to know what to do when they are already hungover.
Next time someone has a cold go tell them you found a cure and they would be fine if they would just not breathe germs. See how they react.

BTW Colton, you and I will have to get together. I am a lightweight though as I can only drink a lake of yuengling before I get numb and start spilling it.

Try eating a banana. They contain potassium, which can help counter the effects of a hangover.

[ZappasXWife]

I really have noticed a difference in how I feel after a night of drinking since the smoking ban. I don't smoke but the second-hand smoke really made my hangover worse, I was surprised to find that the morning after my last time out, no headache or anything. I didn't think it would make a difference but it has.

#3 Magic shower (this is an alternating hot and cold shower and should help circulation as well as getting all that bar smell out of your nose and hair)

Not to be confused with the "Golden Shower".

[CHICKSINGA]

After imbibing, but before bed - saltine crackers, tons of water and 3 ibuprofen. Sleep no more than 8 hours. Upon waking drink a 5 hour energy shot. I swear no hangover. It got me through Vegas all last week and I partied hard every night, without much sleep.

One thing I've noticed is the more I drink the less hung I get. My hub & I call it being in "drinking shape". But lately age and legal matters have hindered that these days. Might be a good thing...

When you get home from a night of drinking, drink as much water as you can stomach. Then drink some more.

The hangover stuff they sell in drug stores actually works if you take it as directed. While you are drinking, that is.

I used to think that drinking clear, meaning colorless, liquor was a good way to prevent hangovers. That is, until that bottle of Peppermint Schnapps.
