Hangover Remedies

[Mackey]

Ok, so who's feeling it this morning. Who's up breathing fumes right now, hair all messed up like the alien dude.

Wondering if anyone has a hangover remedy (I didnt' drink last night ... that's my remedy this year).

But in the day ... I would try to get as hydrated as a could, getting up from bed to relieve myself and slurp down some H2O (usually right from the faucet) then returning to bed - not getting up until at least 2pm.

Maybe that's where everyone is ? ...

I don't drink enough to get hangovers but when I was younger I would try to drink as much water as I could and would take an ibuprofen before bed. Never really had to deal with a hangover. The one time I can remember having a bad one I was told to take a long hot shower while drinking a bloody mary. I think someone was just trying to f with me cause it didn't work and it was a pain the ass.

+1 on lots of water. One of the masters; Jimmy Buffett, claims a huge stack of pancakes will soak up what ails ya.

The two best remedies I have ever come across are Pedialyte and/or breathing pure/95% oxygen at atmospheric pressure. The Pedialyte is easier to find.

Monster Anti-gravity in the black and orange can. I don't drink anymore, but that can will work miracles.

A good way to prevent it, is drinking a powerade/gatorade right before bed. And then in the morning.

A fountain Big Red from White Castle...It works....Skip the burgers...The time to eat those was during the drunk itself....

those charcoal pills you take when drinking work pretty good.

a big glass of water and some aspirin before bed. as soon as you wake up, a tall glass of orange juice with ice; if it's crushed ice through the door, even better. i also had luck with the alka seltzer morning relief, but i would only use enough water to finish it in one gulp. otherwise, i could never drink all of it, it tastes worse than regular alka seltzer.

those always worked for me in my times of need. this year i was falling asleep on the couch by 10 while my wife and 8 year old were watching a movie.

a multivitamin and gatorade before bed.

alcohol inhibits anti-diuretic hormone, causing increased urination => dehydration and increase loss of water soluble vitamins.

then again, a hangover is nature's way of telling you that you acted like an ass last night

Just seen this on the news this afternoon. Asparagus!

Also plain aspirin taken with pickle juice. Used to work for me.

I was a good boy this year. What always helps me is a aspirin before bed, then another aspirin in the morning, & plenty of water to prevent brain swelling..........but wait, if I had a brain I wouldn't have pounded down so many!

The Oxygen is the best I've ever found.
I used to work in a body shop and I drank quite a few beers on a regular basis.
I'd hit the oxygen tank first thing and it always worked.
Well once on a boat load of Wild Turkey the results were a bit lacking.
I seldom drink anymore.

My 100% foolproof method of hangover prevention is not drinking. I use this method every single day and its never let me down.

 

[Fenway]

What are you guys talking about hitting oxygen tanks. lol

 

[TheJoker]

What about a catnip hangover? Someone had a bit much last night!

 

[LEaSH]

Drink MOAR booze as soon as you wake up!

I didn't have even one drink last night - but two nights ago I was misbehavin with cheap vodka. Didn't have hangover neither, just stabbing kidney pain. I'm sure that's normal, LOL.

I like to go put a big bottle of water on my nightstand in the bedroom before I even start drinking. Clearly I have experience with planning ahead when I drink! When I wake up in the middle of the night to relieve myself, I drink as much of the water as possible. Usually the process repeats itself at some point again. I've also heard that a bacon sandwich (seriously) can do wonders. I have never tried that one myself. If the water works (which it usually does) then I have no need for a bacon sandwich remedy. If the water doesn't work then cooking is not what I want to do when I crawl out of bed.

I have cured gout, ringworm, cold sores, and crotch crickets with nothing more than a double decker bacon and bacon sandwich, hold the bread.
