Thread: hangover remedies

Plenty of practice at this one.
Best way is to get hammered as much as you want, but there is a point of no return that nothing will work. Luckily for me, thats a skin full that oilver reid & george best would be proud of , finishing about 9-10 am.
Get yourself a 2 litre bottle of water & a good multivitamin. When u get home, drink two bottles of the water, take the vitamin, you'll be ok.

When you wake up sip a V-8 and a red bull. But it's stupid to drink excessively. And eat a good meal before you go out and drink water inbetween drinks.

Also, drink loads of water during the day before you head out on the lash.
A real strong black coffee will help, once you feel up to it. Also, if you stick to vodka & clear spirits during the night you won't be hit as hard the next day. The darker the drink, the more chance of a hangover.

nice, keep em coming

Before you crash pound water and aspirin, then when you wake up to piss more of the same. This should eliminate the headache. As for the urge to purge if you get it in the morning, bread and more bread.

Best thing though if your know youre going to be really sick, just jump up and down in the bathroom and get it over with. One good yack is better than hugging the bowl like a little girl for hours.

Redbull may straighten you out, but its not going to do jack for the hang over, i cant imagine what being jacked full of caffeine would do to me when i feel like death.

Yes caffeine is in excedrin, still i wouldnt want to drink an entire redbull

Let me rephrase, Only thing I would want to do would be sleep all day. I guess it depends on how much he's planning on drinking. 20 beers, half a bottle of vodka and some 151 and i wouldnt want to be 'stimulated' out of my 72 hours of sleep.

I havent done that in years..Maybe next weekend. My liver hurts just thinking about it. Ha

Oh yeah, dont mix hard liquors, will help keep the vomit at bay.

Hell no I wouldnt! Red Bull is packed with caffeine which I believe will dehydrate you even more indirectly.

Ive tried so many home remedies and nothing has really worked. Water, asprin, milk, vitamins, eating before I got to bed. My suggestion is to do all of them.

And in the morning, if you feel terrible, you can try what I finally did and thats, bite the dog that bit you. Drink a beer. Just one. I did it...ON A BOAT. Hard as hell to keep down and it took forever, but it sure did work.

I dont understand why...

No has seemed to mention that water DURING drinking is one of the best ways to go about it. The general rule to avoid a hangover would be to have a glass of water in between each drink. However, when your drunk, who the fuck is going to remember that!

Attempt to have water before going out, and try harder to drink water during the booze hours. Even if that means walking around with a bottle in your back pocket.

+1 to the advice as to drinking water afterwards. I was chugging water last night after a pretty heavy crunkfest over here, and this morning I felt alright. Aim for 2 classes before pre-game, as many as you can during, and then 3 or 4 before bed.

Has anyone had any experience dealing with the "Chaser" OTC drug? It seemed to have a good run in the commericials for a bit - sounds like it was getting some good business.

The only way to really cure a hangover is to start drinking again. It sounds like bullshit but it is 100% true.

I mean come on. Who honestly drinks a glass of water every four drinks or so and the drink water when you get home thing, ya i've tried that before and that doesn't do shit.

The next morning or afternoon (depends how drunk you got) crack open a beer, as much as you feel sick it will help. I'm not saying to drink 15 beers when you wake up but have like 2 or 3 you will feel great.

It doesn't do shit and the fact that you have to take the pills after every 3 drinks makes it even more bullshit. Just think, when you are drinking heavy would you remember to take these little pills after every 3rd drink....NO

Yeah I've heard that before, but I would much rather drink water than try to pound beers in the morning. That, to me, just sounds fucking digusting.. I understand the logic though. To ween youself back into sobriety, as a hangover is the sudden shift of alcohol to being sober.

Not sure how much water you tried, but it definetly works. After all, that is what 75% of a hangover is - dehydration. Feeling dehydrated, even if not hungover, is terrible - if you can even save that from happening, it's so worth it. I can't lift for shit if I'm dehydrated...

I was using these religiously at one point since my hangovers were gone. But after you get away with it a few times, youll drink even more the next few times. Next thing you know, you forget to take the pills or do you remember to take the pills,b ut you get so drunk you puke THAT night and wha-la, there goes your hangoverproof vest.

When you puke them up at night, it looks like pencil led. Pretty cool!

Iced coffee with a slug of whiskey slam it and take a vicodin or 4, shortly there after you'll be hungry. Eat a hardy breakfast with a few MaiTais and then smoke a bowl or 2 and chill at the beach with a daiquiri hidden in a thermos, the sun will revive you.

Drink water during the day before but don't dilute your alcohol during thats a waste of money, when you get home after a tall glass of water is good as long as you take a good piss before you lay down to sleep.

Disgusting or not, how bad do you want to get over your hangover? If youre about to go boating that weekend and planned for it all week, but youre in low spirits that morning (all of this happened to me), then youll crack open a budweiser faster than you can say "ive gotta shit corn."

It only took me ONE can of bud and it took a while to drink. Sip after sip, but about 2/3s down, I did feel surprisingly rejuvenated.

The only thing is, its hard to do! Id only use it again in a state of emergency. In other words, ill be in a damned if I do, damned if I dont scenario.

Russians actually have a word that means drinking the next day to alleviate hangovers. If i'm really hung over, i drink 1 beer or a glass of wine and pound water like there's no tomorrow.

otherwise smoking a bowl gets rid of nausea, dizziness and gets you back your appetite.

I'd rather suck it up then prolong the time the body is under alcohol... the minute I wake up, I'm looking to get myself back into a better state.
If it's real, real bad, and you can't handle it, I'd rather pop some aspirin or whatnot to numb the headache. It technically will do the same thing, except it will be healthier.... I'm speaking in terms of course to weight lifting and fitness... if you like that buzz in the morning that's your thing

That is what I honestly can't stand about drinking - the loss of appetite.
When I drink, I can eat anything... and everything. I can down the biggest meals and then look for more. But once I sober up, it's like I can't eat anything. So frustrating, especially when you want to get a meal in you to start the day

Exactly. For example; I woke up pretty hungover today but I have nothing going on so i'm only drinking water and trying to slowly work off the hangover. If I had some shit to do today I would of already cracked a few beers open so that i'm feeling good again. I honeslty believe that drinking again is the only way to cure a hangover. I would love for someone to invent another but I don't see it happening.

Suck it up? Well yea ok, if you dont have shit to do that day, but drinking a beer the next day isnt for the buzz, its to help make you feel better. Like I said, I dont want to do it again, but I have to admit it worked. I was a disbeliever at one time too. Only one thing you can do to cross over and make a real-time argument.

Taking asprin as a more healthy route? Oh...as opposed to drinking a depressant the night before? When you decide to go out drinking you are also deciding that the next day will more or less suck, so so much for being "healthy."

You want to lift tomorrow? Dont drink tonight.

Good old " Hair of the dog", and it does work. Ever noticed if you get wankered one night and then head out the next night for another session the next night, you never have a hangover when u wake up**??????

(**Unless it was a REALLY heavy night - and I mean Oliver Reid style)

As far as lifting goes, write it off if your heading out, wait til the day after.

Just stay drunk until you die. Problem solved.
