In the long run, we all understand that theres no magic pill or mystical concoction that will end a hangover. For some reason my hangovers over the last year have gotten to be a terrifying experience and right now I feel as if Satan has taken a steaming shit in my stomach. My hangovers also come with a lovely bonus of strange anxiety all lasting until I wake up the next morning. BUT we do what we can. Over the last couple thousand years we've created ways of adapting by trial and error - so lets see what you've come up with. What do you do? Share and give advice.

Mine:

I drink a ton of Gaterade, water, and 1000mg of Vitamin C and usually eat something thats greasy followed by a few asprin. Next, I take a hot shower until the water runs cold. After that, I pray to any god that will listen and promise I'll never drink again in return of a cure followed by lots of complaining and yelling at empty bottles.

i know it sounds weird, but find an unfixed dog and suck him off. make sure the ejaculate goes straight from his penis into your mouth because the oils of your skin contaminate the magic of the dog semen. two or three mouth fulls and you'll feel right as rain.

Anything with sugar seems to help. If I'm at home the next morning, I go with that sugar mix lemonade or gatorade shit. That's the best I can come up with.

Nothing beats sleeping for ten hours to avoid a hangover

I've never got a hangover before, just slight headaches that is easily cured with Bayer. I normally drink a bottle of water after a couple beers and I repeat that process. Last night I think I had about 11 beers and all I had when I woke up this morning was a slightly upset stomach. I drank a lot of water in between so I had to piss every 10 minutes.

Oh yeah, I had the party last night. Good times.

When you drink 15 or 16 heinekens in one night, it tough to find room for water in there, imo.

I mostly had Blue Moons, Red Stripes, and MGD. Very nice, but I was afraid it was going to fuck with my stomach. I took it kinda slow last night, since I didn't eat anything the entire day.

__________________

Gatorade or Powerade works the best for me.
Caffeine seems to help too. Coffee or energy drinks.
Don't forget an extremely unhealthy amount of nicotine

Don't take my word for it though, these are just the things that make me feel better.

you should take plenty of leaks during the course of that.

i just TRY to make sure to have some food in my stomach before starting, TRY to get some water in there before going to sleep..and have a glass full of water within reach of your bed. nothing like not having to get out of bed to quench your thirst when you wake up!

TRUTH. Stumbling out of bed and to the sink blows.

Don't forget the asprin before bed.

that's my cure. works like a charm...

once in a while that is ok...repeated practice of this is pretty bad for you from what i understand.

Why's that?

I was so hungover for work today it felt like I was still drunk. I work at the Salvation Army.

i believe it has to do with your stomach wall bleeding. it won't happen in an instant..but frequent abuse would obviously make it worse. you can usually find a warning about it on the bottle of medicine itself.

several times of a night of drinking in south central la, i say maybe 5 or more 32 oz. bottles of heineken, i eat a burrito before i go home and i buy a bottle of the Revive Vitamin Water to drink in the morning. i wake up with a minor hangover and i don't get that 3 p.m. heavy crash. this usually works for me

Beer doesn't give me hangovers unless I drink 18 witch i did my second time lol. I avoid hard liquor, i get too trashed and its just not fun, I'll stick with my beer.

__________________

You dont wanna feel hungover anymore?, dont drink, or, eat mc donalds, smoke a cigarette, take a shower and drink the same amount of water and beers, dont over sleep like bassB said.

it goes like this:

-drink your beer
-drink water sometimes
-beer again
-water again and cigarettes
-drink until you fuck your grandma while thinking its your cousin
-eat Mc Donalds im fucking serious, you wont throw up what you drank, i dont know why, but it helps a loooot.
-sleep like 6-8 hours maximum
-take a shower and drink a glass of water and please HAVE A BREAKFAST

If you don't get hangovers, then you don't drink enough.

The worse part of a hangover for me is the anxiety part. I was reading something that said that was caused by a glutamine rebound or something like that. I'm not sure how true it is, but there's really nothing you can do about it, besides take a benzodiazapine, such as Xanax, Ativan, Valium, etc. Benzo's are actually used to relieve alcohol withdrawals, and work great for relieving the intensity of a hangover. As for the other symptoms, it's easier to prevent a hangover than to cure it. Meaning drink water and eat greasy food BEFORE you fall asleep. Eating greasy food once your hungover supposedly doesn't actually do anything for a hangover, it's only effective in hangover prevention. Eating in general though will replenish the body with vitamins and minerals that are depleted from the excessive drinking. Coffee will only make a hangover worse, as caffeine is a diuretic and will cause further dehydration, and will worsen symptoms. Ibuprofin before bed is preferrable to tylonol (which is a liver killer) and apirin (stomach killer), not to mention it's more effective. Other than that, there's not much you can do really besides drink less, and let's be honest, that's just absurd.

good to see you post again.


Sometimes, you are just going to have a hangover. Take for instance, now.......I've been drinking Budwiser all night, and now I'm drinking a white wine. Fuck it.......DEAL WITH IT.

Bayer in the morning with plenty of water, time and coffee. Works.

__________________

I hardly take the stuff anyways, only when I have a fucking terrible headache or when I've been drinking.

Good to hear I'm not the only one that gets anxiety with my hangover. I've never heard that glutamine rebound explanation and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure how that would work. I've always figured it has to do with the alcohol fucking up some of the neurochemistry (probably with the receptors). I haven't got any ativan or other benzos, but its alright.

Why the hell is it that greasy foods help with hangovers? I think everyone has mentioned this and not only does it help (post-drunk for me) but I often CRAVE it like a fiend.

ITS 11:25PM AND I'M STILL HUNGOVER. NOT FAIR!

I try to reduce the obnoxiousness of my hangovers by applying the following methodology:

1. Make sure you have a substantial meal before embarking on your drinking session
2. Don't mix your drinks, i.e. if you start on beer, stay on beer
3. Chasers and shots are an instant recipe for large men to play out a battle royale in your head the next morning
4. Drink at least a pint of water before you go to bed (that headache you get is due to dehydration)
5. Drink plenty of fresh orange juice in the morning

I very rarely do all of the above in conjunction and so my hangovers tend to be quite horrific. They do seem to be far less worse, however, when I do follow those steps.

Incidentally, I never had a hangover prior to my 21st birthday despite some quite heroic feats of drinking while at university. After then it was like some horrible demon flicked a switch and decided to inflict pain to no end upon my mangled, alcohol ravaged body. The little git.

I've also noticed that my sense of taste is affected for a couple of days after a drinkathon, with soft drinks in particular tasting very watery and tasteless.

PIZZLE ROT IN MY FORUM.

last year mine were as bad as have ever been. for some reason they are very mild, lately. right now i dont have one at all, yet it seems like i should. drank my usual amount of rum, last night.

unfortunately, i have nothing new to offer. if its not a day-long hangover, i eat normally, and possibly take an advil. if its the whole day, i'll be puking anything i eat, so i cant take a pill or eat.

just take it like a man goddamnit

to be quite honest. WE CANNOT ESCAPE THE HANGOVER.

you might aswell get into it, while yes we do have that horrible feeling in our heads and/or stomachs why not settle into it? its amazing what can amuse you on a hangover, even the most menial things. play a computergame, watch some shit tv, do whatever it takes to entertain yourselves in the least possible amount of effort.

unlucky for some who have a hard job the next morning though. i work in a large bike store so i can walk around aimlessly and make it look like im actually working.

what do you guys do in work on a hangover? i cant do any work and cant speak to people without pissing them off.

__________________

All those work for me, although I never liked getting wasted. I drink to get happy, and say fuck everyone else. I like downing enough beer to make all those chemical reactions balance out perfectly well to make me the happiest I can be for the longest, without feeling retarded the next morning (I really love oxycodone, and so I've been spoiled by those amazing effects).

Whenever I smoke and drink I'm usually way happier and also don't get a hangover. Probably because the cottonmouth makes me drink something other than beer.

To stay more on topic, though, I'd say John has offered the most straight forward advice here. yay to drinking in moderation!

actually that is my favorite remedy. whats better than lying on the couch all day and only stand up to take a heavy shit?

The Russian KGB pill seems to work for me. It's expensive though...

I just try to sleep as long as possible, then get out, have a dump, have a piss, go back in bed to listen some music. After that it's like 3 or 4 in the afternoon and you'll be getting hungry. I then resort to drinking some milk and making a huge baked egg.

There is no real way around hangovers but mixing drinks up makes it way worse for me. (like 20 beer, 5 vodka, a bunch of bacardi coke and two glasses of single malt to finish up the evening)

Results may vary though. Be sure to eat heavy before going out on the town!

Sounds familiar... My eye-hand coordination also goes off every now and then. Sometimes up to two days

I find taking a shit helps as well.

You can buy them in some bars over here, don't know the exact ingredients but I might as well post a pic next time I buy some.

Hangover cure pills
Not sure which ones work and which ones dont... but there's a pretty good selection anyways.

__________________

Eating anything seems to work for me. I always avoid food because I feel sick and dizzy but as soon as I eat something I'm fine.

__________________

Eating makes it worse for me the next day. I dunno. Usually because I wake up, go to work and feel drunk until about 9:00 am, and crash after the buzz wears off completely

__________________

answer: none

its simple dehydration

__________________

yes. thats why i pig out on the burrito when im drunk, then all the food absorbs the alcohol and i shit it all out the next morning!

__________________

There's more to a hangover than 'simple dehydration'

__________________

but dehydratation is a big cause of it.

__________________

oh definitely. I'm not saying it's not, but there's more to it than that. If it was that simple, then nobody would have hangovers.

__________________

Yeah, its a lot more than "simple dehydration". Your liver processing toxins, your body being depleted of certain vitamins, bruises in places you didn't know existed, and some other chemistry in the brain all contribute to hangovers. Dehydration does play one of the biggest parts, though.

__________________

Darko said it best.

It's wise to drink water, but there's more to it to avoid hangovers. (if that's completely possible)

__________________

haha. That is the God's honest truth. AMEN BROTHER.

__________________

yeah. when i drink 8 beers and wake up with a headache, i call it simple dehydration. when i drink half a litre of rum and then spend the next day puking 3-5 cups of bile, and trying to sleep through whatever form of "heartburn", its something else.

anyone mention drinking more? it's not the best solution if you have responsibilities to take care of the next day or if you have to drive anywhere. one time i went with some friends up to some mountains in PA to go snowboarding. drank a fair amount the night we got there and woke up not feeling so great. drank some water because i was very thirsty..didn't have any headache medicine or much food. what i did have, was about half of the last drink i made from the night before. (or that morning depending on how you look at it)

started drinking that and got a little bit of a buzz going..my hangover was gone though! went out and had a great time snowboarding.

If it's going to be a hellish hangover, I'm pretty sure that would just delay the hangover.

__________________

I dunno i think it eases you. About 3 days ago i woke up still extremely drunk. (i got so drunk it was ridiculous the night before) so i kept drinking and i think i prevented myself from having one by easing the shit out.

Although waking up in the middle of being drunkest usually creates the worst hangovers.. phew.

__________________

I usually just wallow in pain, self pity, and regret the next morning. Then I'll make a weak piledriver and drink it in .6 seconds and I usually feel better after that.

I call it: beeing an amateur

Start with the drink you finished with. Just one though!

Yep.
