Inspired by Beer thread... how do you cure hangovers?

[uofom3]

and don't say by not drinking.

What methods do people have??

I usually try and just pound some water and eat something with a lot of carbs in it prior to bed, but that doesn't always do it.

Other things i've heard/tried... and not all of this (or any) is good for your body when you've already consumed that much alcohol:

- take 2 advil prior to bed
- take a swig of nyquil
.... that list goes on.

I've never tried that chaser stuff - a friend of mine said that his buddy took like 3 of them before he went out drinking one night and could not get drunk to save his life! he just couldn't get high (bonus points for knowing what song/artist that is)....

I usually wake up through the night after drinking so i'll keep some liquid near by and chug on it a bit and fall back asleep. I'm usually fully rehydrated and feel fine when i wake up at my scheduled time.

Nothing works but pounding fluids. Gatorade is actually better as it replaces some electrolytes and other shit.

Ahhh!!!

High flow medical grade oxygen via a non-rebreathing mask! Works like a charm!

Ahhh yes. When I used to lifeguard at the beach the only time we used the oxygen tanks was on ourselves haha. Worked great. Nothing like bein in the sun all day with a wicked hangover

I'm telling you guys, believe it or not, take a two pack of Alka-Seltzer before you crash. Hangover is dead. IF, and that's only after the most hardcore drinking you can do, IF there is anything left of a hangover in the a.m., get up, drink one more two pack, lay back down for a bit, and presto, it's gone.

This is absolutely true! I was given some Alka-Seltzer a couple of weeks ago and within half an hour I was feeling many times better.

I am also fortunate of having a sauna in my complex. I take a 20oz of Powerade and half a gallon of water along with me. The sauna is one of the most therapeutic things I have experienced. I've been addicted for years...

lots of gatorade followed by doing hills on my bike, sweat it off!!!!

More booze. A hangover is just a withdrawal from alcohol so if you ease yourself off it through out the night, starting with a shot or beer and then an hour later doing less and so on. If you just pass out and in the moring cant pound a beer or do a shot than sugar works, just not as well.

Potassium and aspirin.

Eat 2 kiwi or 3 banananas and 2 aspiring before drinking. Won't kill that buzz, but will kill the morning ill.

After you come home in a drunken stupor, find your vitamins and down some with a bottle of water/gatorade/pedialyte no hangover, ever.

erroneous on all accounts. your body doesn't become physically addicted to alcohol after one night of heavy drinking.


PS Ted, that lyric is Slightly Stoopid ;)

I usually try to eat drink lots of water before bed...then if i still wake up with one(like I did this morning) I take a super hot shower and try to sweat. It also helps to eat something hearty.

What Luke said.
This is true. Alcohol depletes your body's potassium and sugar level. That's why they say a banana and honey milkshake will help with a hangover. :)
