Got a hangover remedy?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Take one 38 caliber revolver and place to temple…
just kidding…sheeez it hurts to laugh.

Ok here is mine:

First take two OTC zantacs, wash that down with two cups of black coffee then,

Take one frosted glass from the freezer ( placed there the night of the drunken debauchery) fill half way full with water. Put two-four alka seltzers in water and place saucer over the glass to keep in maximum fizz. Place in refrigerator. Wait 5 minutes (or long enough for the fizz to stop). Place two Advil in mouth and at the same time drink all of the alka seltzer solution at once.

In extreme cases follow with a half pint bottle of Canadian mist.

Dr. J’s Famous Three-Pronged Hangover Cure (patent pending):

1.) B-vitamins and a big glass of water. The vitamins are best taken the night before.

2.) Take a shower. This is the most crucial step, and the one most often left out, since you don’t feel like taking one, and you’re only going to…

3.) Waffle House. Have a waffle, some bacon, and a double order of hash browns, scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, diced, topped, chopped, mopped, cropped, humiliated, sodomized, and beaten into submission. This shows your tract who’s boss. My only caveat is to avoid the coffee.

I have only had one hangover that wasn’t cured by this method, and that was the one after Kentucky won the NCAA title in 1998. (That was also my only two-day hangover ever.) Can’t argue with success like that.

In my experience, the best cure is prevention. No, I’m not going to tell you not to drink… do ya think I’m daft? That’s completely unreasonable. Here’s what I’m talking 'bout…

Right before you go to bed, if you are “with it” enough to think to do this… drink a very large glass of water. If having to go pee wakes you up during the night, drink another glass of water when you get up to go pee. Repeat as often as possible.

This always works for me… that is… if I can remember to do it.

Things are random only insofar as we don’t understand them.

I’ve always heard it’s best to take a slug of the dog that bit you. Course the last time I had a hangover was when CanadianSue came down to visit last July. I think I died and was reborn.

Oh, and another suggestion, more in the category of prevention–if, during your binge, you feel like you could throw up, do it. That’s not to say you should gag yourself before going to bed or anything, but sometimes you get to that point where you could throw up but you’re able to hold it back. In my experience, this is a very bad idea. Go ahead and yak, and you’ll feel much better in the morning.

I have found drinking water before I stumble towards bed drunk is a help. Eating a large breakfast with lots of orange juice most times finishes it off.

There’s not a single grey hair on my soul,
nor senile tenderness either.

Yes, drink a lot of water BEFORE passing out the evening before your hangover (which is caused, I believe, by dehydration). Otherwise, oh God, try gatorade? You have my pity. Nothing’s worse than that chundering, brain-exploding feeling.

The remedy depends on geography.

Okay, listen up, I’m a bartender by trade, I know this works. But it requires you open your mind just one tiny little crack as it comes in an unexpected form.

Go to the local chinese/vietnamese/thai market, go to the counter ( do not be intimidated ) ask for Po Chai Pills, (Po as in go, and Chai as in Hi).

Inside the box are many more small boxes, inside each is a small plastic vial/bottle.Inside each of these little bottles are many tiny round reddish pills. The ingredients are clearly listed, it contains nothing but herbs and spices. It has been widely in use in Asia for decades. Trust me, billions and billions are right. If you are over 165lb you will need to take the contents of two little bottles.

If you remember to take it before you go to sleep you will awake so chipper as to annoy all and sundry.

It is actually effective against all sort of tummy upsets, but it really shines when it comes to hangovers.

In my experience though, most people can’t really get past that it is sooo different in appearance from things they are used to. However, once they’ve tried it they always come back for more.

I was once employed in a bar where the waitstaff constantly went in for a lot of after hours drinking. I could care, except the next day I would have to work with these people, and man they were some ugly. So I gradually introduced them to these little beauties. Of course they were all converted, it got so whenever they found themselves out on the town they’d make a point of visiting my bar to pick up some of the cure for late that evening.

I promise you will not be disappointed with the performance of this product. It does exactly as advertised.

Additionally, I have a friend who likes to spend his hangovers under a blankie, in a recliner, preferably with the game on. His only request is ginger ale in a teacup with a spoon. Why? So he can stir the ginger ale in case there are too many bubbles!

Wisdom is the boobie prize,they give you when you’ve been --unwise!

Exactly what Steve-o said. That, plus I tank up on water (until I can’t stand to drink anymore) before I go out drinking. And, like DoctorJ recommended, while I’m tanking up, I usually pop a mega-strength, time-release B-vitiamin. Plus, I avoid anything sugary to eat or drink for the hours prior to drinking, during drinking, and after drinking. When I follow my own advice, I stay hangover-free and wake up fresh and fine each time.

Otherwise, follow Doug Bowe’s advice; we obviously come from the same neck of the woods. If you’re feeling kinda queasy, though, I’d eat around the tripe.

15

As I recall, the afternoon after the night before we would suffer all morning at work, meet at Jreck Subs for lunch, double the hot peppers and onions on the sandwiches, and go back to work feelling much much better.

16

beef bullion.

Even better, if available: Au jus, like that generally served with prime rib. When I was in the restaurant business, I would drink it out of a coffee cup.

Only a small number of people are truly awake. These people go through life in a state of constant amazement.

I suppose you could do as I do and be born with superior genetics and never get a hangover.

Odd thing is, I have the dryest skin ever, dry hands, dry arms, dry legs, dry armpits, dry face, yet when I drink, I never get dehydrated.

Sometimes, I have a slight head pang when I get up, but I drink a glass of water and it’s gone.

I also force all my friends to have some water before they go to bed. I’ve been thanked the next morning many, many times.

Sleeping right through hangovers works the best.

That way, you don’t have to deal with eating a lot of crazy crap.

Water before bed.

If wake up sour

plop plop ::fizz fizz::

A-l-k-a-S-e-l-t-z-e-r spells relief.

Puke, drink water, take some non-tylenol preparation, lay in bed, turn on TV, zone out for 18 hours, avoid contact with all that is supposedly edible.

Drink water.

If you feel the need to purge your system…do so, and take DocJ’s advice…don’t hold back on the vomit reflex–it’ll only cause you pain the next morning.
