best hangover cures

[Lady E]

please...

[cynthia]

coffee and coke....

[penciLneck]

jam on toast. fructose is good.

[cynthia]

hopefully you'll feel better in a few...

[Jeniffer Mills]

Well, what really helpes is BEFORE you go to bed, drink about 1 litre of water and take 2 aspirins...The hangover effect in the next morning won`t be that bad.

Otherwise, try something very salty like herrings, or drink tomato juice with an aspirin...That helps me anyway....

[penciLneck]

milkthistle is also good, not sure if its something you would have in the cupboard though.

[1steph2]

lot of water, aspirin + minerals (lots of magnesium) before you go to bed!

[Phil]

3 packets of monster munch..(im being serious) they sorty you out.

[FiST]

bacon rolls with brown sauce and some fresh orange juice.

[Lady E]

yes of course i have milkthistle. took two before bed.

i like salty things the next day too, im currently supping on a hot marmite drink.

but didnt sleep much, my boyfriend didnt sleep because i was out, and i let my girlfriend cut about 6 or 7 inches off my hair at about 3 am with some blunt kitchen scissors.


urrgh

Caffeine seriously is good - as well as the energising effect it either widens or narrows the bloodvessels in the brain... I can't remember which but it's the opposite of what the hangover does. Either way, it stops the 'pounding'. Vitamin B12, loads of it, is good. Berocca or even better Holland & Barratt 'Busy B'. Obviously your Marmite will help on this front.

[jukka]

well, a beer could help ya out there.

[penciLneck]

:) thought you might say that jukka.

These sort of drunken moments are my favourite - they seem so right at the time....

[Patrick]

A large Bloody Mary.

Or bananas.

"Bananas have sugar in the form of fructose, they also have potassium, which is one of the things you lose a lot of when you've been out getting hammered. Bananas are also a natural antacid which helps with the nausea, and are high in magnesium which can help relax those pounding blood vessels causing that hangover headache."

Not only that, bananas help you replenish serotonin and protect your nerves from damage... though you have to combine them with a chemical which is found in ham or cashew nuts.

[bitch one]

yep, the only thing that works is hairy dog. theres a good medical reason for it too, cos it gets your liver working to break down the poisonous methanol in your blood (the main thing that makes you feel ill). unlike ethanol, your liver doesn't recognise methanol (which is why it's poisonous)

I discovered BEROCCA a while ago from a nurse at work. You can get it in supermarkets and chemists, it sort's you right out if you've got a hangover or similar and also great if your working hard and not getting enough sleep...
It's basically a really high dose of vitimins and minerals. Top stuff!

[penciLneck]

should have inhaled it in the first place.

[Ladytron]

you should have taken vitamin b before going to bed. now... water and rest will help :-)

[mattp]

flat coke (no diet) ...

[Phil]

Ladytron..you would be the perfect hangover cure..waking up with you next to me with the song Desperado by the Eagles playing in the background..and the cat eating a mouse at the end of the bed..mmm.

[Ladytron]

Katie you are always so nice to me. you are such a lovely... something.

[Phil]

THANKS! have a biscuit

It tastes vile though, which is all very well, but it's hard to keep down if you're feeling nauseous.
I reccommend a big bowl of porridge with honey.
Drink some water of course.
(This next bit isn't a joke - it works for me, even if it's only a psychological thing)
Then go for a poo and imagine all the pain, discomfort and toxicity in your body is being concentrated in this one poo, and as it leaves your body, imagine your body instantly being brought back to good health.

ha, ha... yeah the BEROCCA effervescent can be a bit grim after a hard nite but you can get um in tablets as well.....

i'm defo with you with the porridge and honey... mmm... the poo bit though, i'm not so sure :)

[lame]

pickled cucumbers, alka-seltzer (or any other mineral-complex pill), sushi.

if this won't work i just have another beer.

[thomas hooked]

i'd love to say something really macho involving Fernet Branca, egg yolk and the spunk of the dog that bit you but really its a can of coca cola and a banana. the pottasium/sodium thing is just right apparantly.

The week before i came over here an old friend came to say goodbye at my parents house in my home town. the morning after i was puking blood until i hit the above remedy while my friend carried on puking until the evening when, having not held down any water all day, my dad said enough was enough and casually and wih impeccable bedside manner, gave him an anti-emetic injection in the bum.
he's still getting the piss taken out of him for that one

I believe this is referred to in the Profanisaurus as a HOP, or Hang Over Poo - as in "I feel loads better after that hop, does anyone fancy a pint?"

[mattp]

Anybody ever notice the colour of your wee after a BEROCCA ?

Mine was bright green ......

[Spandex]

Lager shandy. Hairy dog with added sugar. Sorts me out a treat.

Problem is it sometimes sorts me out to the point where I move onto grownup drinks.. and then get twatted again.

Aye? what you been eatin/drinkin... :!

[JonnySpeed]

2 berocca + 2 solpadeine plus in a pint of water every 4 hours. works a treat for pills too, apparently

[drop]

back in the rave days
cocaine and bud were great for hangovers
it didn't really cure them
so much as dulled the pain until you were over it

now my favorite hangover cure is not drinking as much
it works
trust me

Agh, terrible- I've done the very same thing. In my case, got totally baked and let my friend Stephanie cut my hair.

I can remember the horror of seeing my head in the mirror- she cut my hair super high in the back, nearly shaved- all the way to the top of my head-

(I cried.)

Hangovers... these are the only times I ever drink a cold Coke- I don't know why but it makes me feel better.

Also detox tea with milkthistle and all kinds of goodies, its very good and works in emergencies.

[pongoid]

Mimosas are good (orange juice and champagne), but when it's a rough one, I just bite the bullet, and knock down either a shot or two of whiskey, or ice cold vodka, followed by a glass of grapefruit juice, then a cup of coffee. Until that coffee kicks in it's GOT to be quiet and dark. Usually will have me well sorted in about 20 minutes, usually faster. Also, try to do it before your wake-up piddle.

[Lady E]

hair isnt too bad

i look like one of the beverley sisters.

[V Knid esq]

Unless its a really serious one, like from 3 days solid drinking, I have now got to the point where I can force myself to outrun it, literally. Jump out of bed immediately on waking up, don't indulge the hangover, bang down three espressos, a pint of water, a vitamin pill and painkillers if necessary, then whack on the iRiver with something funky and/or noisy and run hard for half an hour. Get in, run a warm bath, and only then let myself relax... Not as horrible as it sounds, cos like I say if you jump out of bed toot sweet you can catch the hangover on the hop.

[Lady E]

swimming works for me too.

[dom_90]

can of lidl maccaroni cheese on toast, add pepper and more cheese....then go for a pint and some pool.

[Lady E]

i had heinz macaroni cheese on toast instead. carb overdose, followed by small snooze. then pissed boyfriend and his mate bought me a take away curry. but i still feel rough today!

[Norman]

Its best to take hangovers like a man. Wait until next day and it will all be over. Grab a beer if you feel too bad - as Jukka already suggested.

Always remember: Its only a hangover, one could be worse off.

[stinkfinger]

good ole' bottle of magners sorts u out, even if u don't usually drink cider. a couple of them and u feel right as rain, u can then move onto your preferred tipple again. great on a sunday morning

[KaOz]

oralsex? :-(

[Sheridan]

a bong hit or two
a cup of soy milk
a glass of water
some fresh fruit
two asprin

sorted.

[Sheridan]

or a wank, if no one else is available to assist.

[stinkfinger]

yup, emptying your sack is always a good way of sweating out the badness

[Daddys Girl]

the last time I had a very bad hangover, a bacon sarnie seemed to help me out...

[big raff]

a couple of fried egg rolls with daddies brown sauce, and a bottle of lucozade, then back to bed for a couple of hours works well with me.

[Bobby Cleaver]

Yea its all about the lucozade

[JE:5]

The key is to wake up still pissed like I did today, not quite sure how I did it though.

[Daddys Girl]

ribena is another good drink to have when you've got a hangover!

[big raff]

nah, ye don't want something too fruity/acidic in yer mouth when it feels like its been coated with sour onken bio-pot!

[Daddys Girl]

lol! for some reason, it seems to have a good effect - could just be in my mind or something..

[JE:5]

When I used to suffer from migranes the only thing that would stop me from throwing up was to sip coca cola. It had to be real coca cola though, pepsi didn't work.

[Paddy]

i used to get migraines. they're very shit.

[gypsy_cream]

i still get them....havent found anything that helps them apart from strong painkillers

[Paddy]

go to the doctor and get a prescription then. i used to take co-proxamol for them. i think it's been discontinued though, cos it apparently fucks you right up.

[terminal viscosity]

working in a record shop on a saturday after you were out the night before and loads of wanks come in and pester you with their inane questions about things they have no idea about, and bend your ear talking about shite records.........


does not cure a hangover

[stinkfinger]

word. it turns you to drink

Not a cure just a pic of a mutant cabbage in the kitchen.

Yep, Kapake 30mg codiene in each one, I have to takee ablut 4 if I get one these days

[thembuzz]

yeah, neck a bunch of painkillers and spend the day in a total stupour, that's what i usually do

i seem to be fortunate enough not to get alcohol-related hangovers very often, though. in fact, i've had 3 in my entire life. one from special brew, one from wine and one from mixing. there again, i ain't much of a drinker anyway

[wheezer]

1) Mama's Noodle Soup Shrimp Creamy Tom Yum Flavor, extra chili
2) Vitamin+Magnesium Pills
3) Banana
4) Joint
5) Sex
6) A-Team
