Hangover Cures / Quick Pickup Tricks

Post by Brian Slade »

Okay, well this is usually a much debated topic to what works and what doesnt, I remember the time my Grandad made me drink a glassful of raw eggs as a hangover cure, that didnt do jack shit other than make me throw up (thus losing more vital fluids).
But anyway, what do you use?

Here is my Recipe, the ingredients are pretty self-explanatory:
2 Teabags Lemon Herbal Tea (or any Fruit flavoured, I use lemon),
1 Green Tea Teabag (I also use Lemon flavoured),
2-3 Teaspoons Sugar,
2 Soluble Vitamin & Mineral Tablets (I use Berocca, good if you can get it),
Hot Water.

Just put it all in a mug and fill with water, let it brew, take out the bags, pour it down your neck, works pretty quick.

I drink lots of water, try to drink a glass before going to sleep and the next day I usualy go for a jog to shake it off no matter how horrible I feel. Luckily I don't get hangovers very often.

It's all about chugging loads of water and shitting the toilet into oblivion 3 times, each time with the shit having lower consistency:

1/ Normal
2/ Slightly too smooth with too much wiping involved
3/ Mud

a couple bananas and a ton of milk for breakfast the next day makes me feel better than anything else. (I read somewhere that bananas have somethin in them that helps with hangovers, and on top of that they are bland enough and not too hard on the digestion so they oughtn't to make you puke.)

Drink lots of water before/during/after your alchohol, and don't get drunk on an empty stomach.

My grandfather's a doctor and he mentioned drinking cream before drinking alcohol once, but ive never tried it and dont plan to.

Oh yeah, and after you get home from your night out, give yourself a chance to puke in the toilet. Puking gets rid of any alcohol left in your stomach so at least you wont continue to get more drunk while you sleep. And if you puke, rinse out your mouth to avoid midnight dribbles, then drink a bunch of water or milk.

when I used to get drunk, which wasn't often, I'd go to bed at around 4 am after a night out, and wake up at 7-8am without being able to fall back asleep. I'd feel like shit, my bones would ache, it was nasty.

I discovered that popping a gravol with some water put me back to sleep until the early afternoon, at which point I felt like a million dollars.

I know it's girly...but I tend to drink vodka/orange to stay "sane" the next day.

The vodka is a lighter drink so it doesn't hit you as hard the next day.
The fruit juice replaces sugars and gives me energy to keep partying.
Once every 3 or 4 drinks I'll slam a glass of water down.
Then at least 2 full glasses of water before bed.
If I wake up to piss during the night I have another glass of water while draining the vein.
Glass of water first thing after waking up.

No hangover whatsoever after getting totally shitfaced the night before. This has worked for me the last 8 years.

I stay the hell away from drinking too many beers, dark rum, whiskey or red wine....those are the worst for hangovers.

I just wish I could stay away from the Jager.

In addition to drinking water while getting drunk (i.e. the night before), eat some saltines or something similar to keep sugar and salt levels up. And do it with a vengence: have a glass of water and saltines with every alcoholic drink.

I wouldn't recommend trying to puke the night before, because it will also purge you of electrolytes and fluids, and that's what'll cause the hangover.

In the morning: lots of water, salt, and sugars. The tea mix you've got sounds like it's pretty good, as long as the caffiene content is low. :icon14:

drink whatever you were drinking the night before...

But seriously, toast a piece of bread untill its slightly burnt, then eat it. Carbon will absorb and filter some of the impurities in the alcohol.

What, you mean all of those aldehydes and stuff which are actually already absorbed into your body's fluid spaces and will therefore never come into contact with the carcinogenic mess you're sticking down your gullet? Which is why we never bother with activated charcoal unless the overdose was taken less than an hour ago [/poisons unit]
