Can someone PLEASE post some hangover cures?

[cwydro]

:hangover:

[BikeWriter]

1. A hair of the dog that bit you!

:toast:

[cwydro]

7. totally on board with that suggestion

as soon as I make myself go run....

[PrimeRibGuy]

38. You got that right...

Get right back on the wagon

[LuLu550]

65. with all due respect

being "on the wagon" means you don't drink. You "fall off the wagon" when you go back to drinking after stopping.

[fizzgig]

2. greasy spoon breakfast,

a bloody mary and a coke with lemon. it fixes me up every time.

a friend's dad always pushed a big plate of scrambled eggs doused in tabasco, but that just sounds icky

[cwydro]

8. Yep, I'm gonna order some fish and chips

from the bar downstairs...good idea.:P

[Patiod]

3. Sausage McMuffin + home fries + Gatorade + vitamin + aspirin

Any grease will do, plus replacing liquids, vitamins and electrolytes.

[cwydro]

5. I'm trying the gatorade now...

[Left Is Write]

45. If I had a hangover, a sausage McMuffin would probably be the LAST thing

I would want to eat.

[cwydro]

46. No, I think that menudo thing might top my list...

[Left Is Write]

53. Okay, well, I'd NEVER have menudo...

It's a reasonable assumption that I might actually eat a sausage McMuffin at some non-hungover time. :)

[SammyWinstonJack]

55. That's what is suggested in my neck of the woods, though I have never tried it.

I hear that it works. :shrug:

[cwydro]

58. No doubt it does

it was just that "organ meat" thing, you know...eek.

Now, spicy is a good thing.

[SammyWinstonJack]

60. I agree.......eek, which is why I have never tried it.

:puke:

[JVS]

61. A sausage McMuffin when hung over is telling a hurting body to shut up and quit...

whining because you're determined to treat it roughly and no amount of complaining will make you stop.

[leftofthedial]

4. lots of water and ibuprofen

big, carb-heavy breakfast

avoid the grease


or my favorite--menudo

[lildreamer316]

6. Lots and lots of water.

Really.
and some Excedrin. It's the only thing that really works on that kind of headache( I call it the dj medicine, because all the djs I know use it to cure their loud music headaches).
The caffine in the Excedrin helps it get through your system quicker,and the water helps it absorb. Of course you know the reason you have a headache and etc. is because the alcohol starves your liver and kidneys of water.
On edit: the Gatorade is good too.

[cwydro]

10. Yes,

my liver and kidneys are none too happy with me right now...:spank:

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. But the caffeine'll dehydrate ya

So it's six of one, half a dozen of the other. :shrug:

[Kali]

9. Water, aspirin, more sleep.

[warrior1]

11. all of the above

and time.

[Wcross]

12. NEXT TIME- Use Chaser.

It really works. It is available at most drug stores and is made to absorb the toxins in alcohol.

Can't help you today though.

[cwydro]

13. I've heard of that...

wondered if it worked. But of course, there won't be a next time.:rofl:

[Reverend_Smitty]

27. My aunts swear by Chaser

I tell them it's all in their heads but if they say it works, then it works.

[cwydro]

52. OK, I gotta ask

tell me about these aunts...

[Reverend_Smitty]

66. they are young, hip aunts...

one is 38 and the other 39 so we hang out quite frequently...since they can't handle their liquor like a 22 year old (me) they feel the need to take Chaser so they can "hang". I know when people say aunts an image of little old ladies who like to knit usually conjure up but not these gals...not yet anyway :P

[cwydro]

67. Tell 'em I siad hi

And next time I drink (loooong time from now lol) I'll try it. I'm too old for this too.

[mdmc]

14. chocolate milk , aspirin

and a bong hit.

hope ya feel better. Oh, and take a shower if you can

[cwydro]

15. Well, maybe not the chocolate milk

I like the rest of your suggestion:smoke:

[pink-o]

16. Back in the 80s, one toot did it....

...but I wouldn't recommend such a remedy now. Too expensive, illegal and addictive.

Try 2 excedrin migraine tabs washed down with a hit of alka-seltzer. Works like a charm!

[cwydro]

18. Funny thing

I rarely get a headache. It's more an overall malaise and crappy feeling...serves me right.:spank:

[Phillycat]

17. 3 years of sobriety.

I feel fantastic. :D

[cwydro]

19. Bravo!

That's not easy, I'm sure.:applause:

[Phillycat]

21. It's actually much easier than the alternative.

But that depends on your definition of "easy".

I no longer crave or even mildly desire alcohol. In fact, I haven't since just a couple of months after I got sober. Yeah, that first couple of months was difficult. But my life is "easier" in a lot of different ways now, most notably that I don't break the law, behave like an asshole, or vomit for 12 hour periods from hangovers. Heh.

That said, I'm no puritan. I'm all for normal drinkers enjoying themselves with a few drinks. I go to bars, I hang with my friends and family when they drink, it's all good. But I just have to keep my sobriety primary FOR ME.

I will say, though, that I get a special joy out of Saturday and Sunday mornings these days. :) Just being able to get up early, enjoy the morning, and feel great gives me a big shot of gratitude. :D

[pink-o]

26. I know what you mean...

...about 7 years ago, I had a hangover so bad, I was actually bargaining with God that if I lived thru it I wouldn't drink anymore (and the sad thing is, I'm an agnostic!)

Anyway, sure enough I made it thru and quit drinking entirely for 4 years. I now drink an occasional glass of wine, but never ever ever will I go off the deep end again.

Now--I'd love to say I lost 20 pounds or something, but my weight stayed the same. My grocery bill, however, was substantially reduced! Reason enough, I say!

Anyway, Congrats. I doubt you're boring--but I sure am now! At 52, with such a checkered past behind me, I've EARNED the right to be a boring old fart (fart-ette??)

[BikeWriter]

20. Congratulations, you're boring! LOL! Just kidding!

:)

[Phillycat]

22. One thing I'm NOT is boring.

:evilgrin:

[BikeWriter]

23. I'm sorry, Dear. The debbil made me do it! I swear!

:evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. 17

and a couple months.

<--- Dr Pepper





Now, if I could just kick heroin... :crazy:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

68. congratulations ...

the elitist wishes you a good morning :P and best of luck with that little heroin habit of yours... :P

[AngryAmish]

24. Gatoraid

Drink a quart, then lots of water. Plus antacids.

[cwydro]

25. Thanks for all the suggestions Loungers!

I went for a 45 minute run and am already feeling better. Now I'm going to try some of this advice as well! Starting with the hair of the dog....:toast:

[deucemagnet]

28. A chocolate milkshake.

I'm not sure if it cures the hangover or just lifts my mood, but it helps!

[fudge stripe cookays]

29. Menudo!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menudo_%28soup%29

Mexican friends swear by this stuff. I haven't had the guts to try tripe yet, though.

Failing that, one more coffee, three more aspirin, two more vitamin B.

[cwydro]

30. Erk!

I am SO glad I didn't read that link earlier today....:hi:

[Arkansas Granny]

31. Sorry, I don't have any cures, but I have found a method to prevent

hangovers that works for me.

1. Eat a good meal before you go out.

2. Keep a glass of ice water handy to sip on between drinks.

3. Before you go to bed, eat a good breakfast.

I don't know why this particular combination works, but if I follow this routine I feel good the next morning with no hangover.

[cwydro]

32. You know, you're right

That works for me too, but for some reason I always forget.......

[sweetheart]

43. if the room starts spinning...

.. none of that is gonna work. :-)

Hangovers can be ever so slightly related to the amounts involved,
and once these go over a level, hail mary, the headache will
be blinding, drink lots of water or it will be worse. :-)

[crim son]

33. I used to find Alka-Seltzer worked very well.

Another cure but one you must take the night before: two ibuprofin. Me, I suffer through hangovers as just punishment for whatever real or imagined sins I committed whilst under the influence.

[cwydro]

50. Hmmm, are you Catholic?

That penance thing you know...I'm not, but I feel the same way. I deserve it for polluting my body so badly.:spank:

[crim son]

62. Amusingly, I was raised as a Catholic and took to it like... well, you know.

I've long since left the Church and all organized religion. The guilt never quite disappears, though :)

[BlueIris]

34. Nestea always did it for me.

Also, Vitamin B before sleep.

[SPKrazy]

37. Minudo?

I know people who swear by it

personally, my old cure when I drank, was to drink a lot of water, take a decongestant, take tylenol

and then when all that failed, hair of the dog that bit ye always works once you get past the first one!

but then, like I said, I don't drink now because that was how I cured hangovers and another trick, is if you stay drunk most of the time, then you don't ever have to sober up and you won't get hangovers

:smoke:

[taterguy]

39. 30 mile bike rides

All the toxins will be rinsed out with the sweat

[cwydro]

40. Yep

I think that's why the run helped. Should have gone out on the bike as well.

[bridgit]

41. ah yes = spring water & cranberry juice, vit C, a banana & two Advil...

:thumbsup:

[carlydenise]

42. I had a killer hangover once..

too much cheap wine.......anyway.........2 Arby-que sandwiches and a huge Dr. Pepper seemed to do the trick.....earlier in the day, however I had eaten some raw carrots....wrong move.......ended up honking all over the drive-up teller machine at the bank....

[cwydro]

44. ...

:rofl:

[WCGreen]

47. Warm Ginger ale.....

Followed by a lot of greasy food...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

48. Next time: Hydrate.

I always drink water with my drinks. It does not ruin my buzz, but I've never had a hangover in my life. And always take a couple advil before you go to bed. Do not have asprin. Alcohol thins your blood enough. Tylenol or Advil.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

49. Grab a bucket...cover eyes...spin...and clink this link

[cwydro]

54. Aaaargghhh

My EYES!

[HCE SuiGeneris]

57. That'll learn ya !

B-) Hope you are feeling better.

[Ilsa]

51. B complex vitamins, water, tylenol, more water, mexican food.

Hey, it all works for me.

[bridgit]

56. mexican food is hubby's cure-all for everything...

:thumbsup:

[BarbaRosa]

59. time

and water

[valerief]

63. Sleep. You need to replenish your anti-diuretic hormones. Until

then, water, mashed potatoes, chicken, and carrots.

[LuLu550]

64. Prickly pear juice

saw a thing on the teevee that it was really the only thing that helps.

No first hand knowledge, I stopped drinking too much ages ago. I hate to :puke:

[AllegroRondo]

69. Drink a quart of Gatorade and run 2 miles

always works for me!

[trof]

70. Ice cold Martini, straight up.

Gin, not vodka.
Repeat.
