I think everyone who has ever consumed alcohol has overdone it at least once. Some of us more than once. I’ve heard about a number of hangover cures over time. What’s yours?
"Not drinking" isn't the solution. Obviously try to be moderate, but when drinking it's best not to mix. Like if you start drinking beer, stick to beer the whole night. Try to drink quality alcohol as well. Now, if you know you're probably gonna mix because it's a wedding or party with an open bar, before the event you should take something like an antiacid. Now, after the event, when getting home I recommend eating some carbs (bread, pizza) with a drink of water. Next day, take a dump, eat loads more carbs even if you don't feel like it, some coffee first thing and then lots of water the rest of the day, and take a hot shower. If possible take it easy the rest of the day, stay in bed, sleep, avoid phone and bright lights if they annoy you, take an aspirin if your head hurts
My husband's a functional alcoholic. He wakes up and eats some Ramen noodles or some instant soup. Drinks Gatorade or mineral water w/some lime. Might have an Alka-Seltzer if he's really hungover, but otherwise he's usually ok w/those few things! lol
@Guardian45 Oh yea he has a fatty liver already. He still drinks. I have said something so many times. His "friends" come to drink w/him, especially today, after work and I am frowned upon like the nagging wife if I keep criticizing the drinking. I understand he's in a lot of pain at the end of the day, but alcohol just covers it. Just like narcotics and anything else! I tried yoga a few times and my bones cracked but it feels really good!
2 approaches to this: 1) You're blitzed and you can react before hand: Drink 1 bottle of water now, then have two more by the bed for the morning. Bottles because when the morning headache hits putting a water bottle on your forehead or eyes in goddamn heavenly.
2) You messed up A-A-Ron: A Coke zero for the get-moving caffine, and it's less sweet but more bubbly than a standard coke. An orange Poweraide for the electrolytes and hydration. Poweraide works better for the stomach. Gatorade has too much variability in their flavors and you dont wanna be feeling more sick. Red and Blue are absolutely off-limits those flavors are more acidic.
In Ireland, we learn pretty early on, about liver salts. Even in countries like Belgium, where beer is prevalent and delicious they are not familiar with this hangover cure.
Liver salts are like getting an extra liver.
There is simply no better cure. But of course, if you're a serious drinker, like most Irish people, you know about the three Ps. Prevention, Preparing, and Pacing.
Im like yours I had never drank enough to the point to be completely drunk much less a hangover. SO I dont have any cure for it. Like you when Im starting to feel tipsy that is the moment I stopped drinking and wait for a while to have a zip again. It is horrible the feeling you get when you start to feel very dizzy for the alcohol 🥃 and I really dont want to go through that sensation so I stop when I start to feel that the alcohol is getting to me, I dont drink more.
@kitty71 Yeah sometimes I think it's a personality trait - some people just like excess, you know? They think 'if some is fun, more is better!' I don't find that. I'm naturally a moderate person.
A hangover is your body's way of calling you a dumbass.
My hangover cure? Getting the shit fucked out of me, gets the blood running? Which isn't usually a problem because historically whenever I've gotten THAT drunk some guy has always seen fit to take advantage of my lowered inhibitions anyway. Also, hair of the dog helps.
@Guardian45 "hair of the dog" means you do half of a shot or half of a beer of whatever "bit" you, or causes your hangover... Basically hangovers are a form of withdrawal and it helps ease that.
I see. I’ve never drank before so I wouldn’t know. But I’ve seen a lot of hangovers and I know they are terrible. People say they will never drink again and then they are drinking the next weekend 😂
4 Crispy bacon strips, 2 eggs (mixed with milk fried in the bacon grease), sliced turkey breast warmed up in the skillet, slice of Munster Cheese, on a toasted everything bagel with sweet baby Ray's bbq sauce & a big glass of OJ with a single shot of Jameson or Vodka in it.
Sleep, drink water, food, and time. I don't drink enough any more to get bad hangovers, but I sometimes get mild ones.
I've read that there is actually some science behind the "hair of the dog" method of curing hangovers (drinking more). I don't remember how it works, but supposedly there is something to it. Unfortunately it's a super bad habit to get into.
Take some vitamin B6/12 before drinking. Most energy drinks have plenty, but I think the gummy bear version works best; it's also a good idea to have something in your stomach so the alcohol has something other than your stomach lining to be absorbed. Rice is an excellent choice, bread works too. I've never had a hangover once figuring this out.
Lots of water and a bread type breakfast like a bagel with cream cheese or croissant. I find that even though I don’t want to eat or drink bc I’m nauseous it helps so much.
Sleep, drink water (ideally especially before you go to sleep), eat something yummy, take a shower and make yourself feel freash and clean all over (brush those teeth!), drink some refreshing soda, juice or gatorade.
If your headache's bad, take some paracetamol or whatever works for you.
Reading thr hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, so I am reminded of what the drink I am going to be drinking is called. Because you have to drink to have an hangover.
i take prickly pear cactus, someone recommended it to me in college and i thought it was bs but it really works. you take it before you start drinking and it really does help you not feel as groggy and weighed down the next day.
Back in the day when I DID occasionally have one too many. . . when I get home, I take 800 mg of ibuprofen and I drink as much water as I can drink before going to sleep. Inevitably, that means I'll wake up in a few hours to pee. When that happens, drink more water. Continue drink water all night long and take another 800 mg of ibuprofen 8 hours after the first dose.
Most of the symptoms of hangovers are caused by dehydration and the absolute best thing you can do is to force fluids until your body recovers. And eat a good breakfast the next morning.
