I was sharing drinking stories with a friend last night, and an idea for a thread came to me (sad I know, but true)

What's the worst hangover you've ever had?

What's your tried and tested best hangover cure?

When I was 18, my best friend and I went through a phase of buying alcohol based on the how cool the bottle was. We had a lemon shaped bottle, a bottle like a bunch of grapes, a bottle like the old tavern jugs, etc etc. It didn't matter what was in it, we didn't care - it did the trick! One night we bought a bottle of tequilla because it had a funky little hat on top of it, and proceeded to do slammer shots. We went through the whole bottle between two of us, and were NOT well the next day. That is by far the worst hangover i've ever had in my life. I can normally handle my booze pretty well, but I'm sure I was ill for 2 days. There wasn't really a cure for it, I just had to ride it out. I tried everything, and nothing stayed down!

My tried and tested hangover cure is a lucozade sports drink, lots of water, and macdonalds. Works a charm.

A Mexican birthday party that my ex-girlfriend unexpectedly showed up to. 8 hours and 6 cups of tequila later, I was feeling rather sick. Drinking water and eating salty food helped.

Well, I hardly ever really get hangovers even if i drink a lot... The worst time I can remeber -and it wasn't even that bad- I had to stay over at a friends but when i actually got home the next day i felt soo cold (it was weird, my fingers were even blueish)- this of course is apart from just feeling really crap :p . But anyway, i had some hot soup and that seemed to help pretty well against all of it

The worst hangover I've ever had involved me not even knowing if I'd had a drop.
I mean - that is UNFAIR!

Don't recall how I got out of it, though.

:fluffle: to the Ms!

I've had one hangover.

First time drinking, and I had about a quarter to a third of a micky of crown royal. I woke up, huge headache, a large (couple inch in diameter) scrape on my knee, sickto the stomache. I napped all day, and besides my knee was fine the morning after the morning after.

Hair of the dog works if you are willing to stay drunk for a very long time.

Otherwise menudo.

The soup not the band.

you know you've had a good night when you cant remember

.. what happened to the oral sex thread.. i looked for it this morning and it's vanished!

:fluffle: to bog

I've found that a smothered/covered hashbrown and three eggs sunny side up from Waffle House do me nicely. However, I'm in a perpetual state of hungover, so it matters not.

Thank all that is holy you cleared that up.

That's what Tricky Dicky Cheney would have you think...

I've tasted alcohol once. It was horrible.

1) you weren't out with the right people ;)
2) you're too generous :fluffle:

Beer.

Damn him and his face shooting ways!

*shakes fist*

Worst hangover ever was my first one. I've had a few stinkers since, but nothing like that 2 day sicky.

Best cure is lots of food (greasy fried breakfast and sugary cakes), lots of water to drink, orange juice for vitamins, and tea or coffee to wake the brain up (just remember than if you drink caffeinated drinks, you need to drink even more water).

Once, when I was 16 I drunk a whole whisky bottle by myself alone. I fell down trough stairs in the disco, I slept standing on foot (with a wall to support me). I've never drunk it again, I cannot even smell whiskey without wanting to bark.

But I never found a cure, it was horrible, it was my grandma's birthday the day after, and I just wanted to dia.

1) you weren't out with the right people ;)
2) you're too generous :fluffle:

:fluffle:
Mmm... I should consider solving problem 1. But not 2.

I wouldnt pay to eat his food

my worst hangover was when i got so drunk i broke my wrist and didn't notice till the next morning, i couldn't go to the hospital straight away that morning (well, afternoon) cause i couldn't stop being sick long enough, plus i was in agony with my wrist

the best hangover cure is a cheese spread and crisp (preferably Walkers beef and onion) sandwich or a big plate of greasy chips and about 10 cups of tea, it always does the trick, or there's always the hair of the dog, that usually does the trick too, although that usually ends up with you being drunk again and having another hangover

i sprained my ankle out drinking once - didnt notice - walked home - got up the next day in so much pain i had to go down the stairs on my arse because i couldnt put any weight on it. Mother was not amused - but hey - she gave me my first drop of booze as a nipper - and like all good loyal kids these days - i blame her for everything!!

What's the worst hangover you've ever had?

Upwards of 24 beers and some 90% of a bottle of wild turkey, some two years ago. I think I threw up blood, but it was hard to tell by that stage.

The next day wasn't fun.
What's your tried and tested best hangover cure?

Iced coffee. If you can't drink caffeine, chocolate milk. The caffeine gives you that initial boost, and flavoured milk gets rid of the shitty hungover taste from your mouth like nothing else.

Followed by Sprite or another lemonade. Trounces the shitty taste and rehydrates you almost as well as water.

And then plain water to finish it off.

If you can keep it down, greasy food is good. You'll probably still feel like a bag of shit, but you'll be functional.


Best cure is lots of food (greasy fried breakfast and sugary cakes), lots of water to drink, orange juice for vitamins, and tea or coffee to wake the brain up

Never do that. It's acidic, you'll throw up. Drink apple juice or something similar instead if you must drink juice.

(just remember than if you drink caffeinated drinks, you need to drink even more water).

Not really. There have been numerous studies to show that this isn't really the case, and a quick google search reveals this (http://www.ific.org/foodinsight/2002/ja/caffdehydnbfi402.cfm).

Worst drinking experiences? When I was younger I used to drink till blackout every now and again. Not a wise thing to do. Anything which involves waking up in strange places in foreign cities with no idea where you are or how you got there is a bad plan. Particularly if it includes sleeping on concrete staircases - that was my glorious introduction to the charming world of piles. Not being able to sit down without feeling like someone has rammed a skewer up you is hardly a pleasurable experience.

My worst hangovers have been ones where I have not only poisoned my entire bloodstream with alcohol, but also managed to bring on a migraine as well. Once again, not fun.

Anyhoo, hangover cures - the best option for me is to just stay in bed and try and sleep it off. If that ain't a viable choice then its time for an eight mile walk along the riverside. If there ain't time for that, then I reach for the bananas. If you haven't tried bananas as a hangover cure you're missing out big time. They are truly fantastic.

The funny thing is I work as a sound engineer for loud bands, and even when incredibly hungover I feel fine as long as I'm getting blasted with loud music from the stage, but once soundchecks are over it is then that I feel like I'm going to die.

Strawberries work too - but you need to eat at least 10-15.

I find you can drink loads of water eat loads of salty food and sugary tea have a big shower, brush your teeth vigouresly, go for a sh*t. That way you get rid of all the obvious hangover symptoms (headache, bad stomache, sweats) Do this if you have to go to work or lecture or whatever. but theres still something there. A kind of uneasy feeling which is much more noticable now all the other symptoms have gone. You might feel like your more active but i think the best thing is just accept your hangover and jsut sit there and enjoy it. Its not actually too bad if you have nothing to do, I always feel more creative when I'm hungover. If you really want to feel good again jsut start drinking and the hangovers gone in an instant.

Take it from me, if there's 1 thing I do know about its hangovers, I wish i had a better speciality.

This works for me: orange juice and greasy egg and bacon in a bun.

What's the worst hangover you've ever had?
I honestly can't remember.
What's your tried and tested best hangover cure?
Not drinking. [Or not enough booze]

Other than that, lots of water, vitamins, minerals. And aspirin :D

well, about a year ago or something i had my worst hangover. ughhh, that night i got completely plastered. my friends and i were doing crazy things and daring each other to do stuff, including giving each other piggy-back rides(imagine trying to carry large beer-bellied men on your back), and the next morning i woke up with a horrible hangover. funny thing was, most of it was in my heel.... yeah, i broke my heel. jumped down a flight of stairs to prove to my friends that i would remain unscathed.... owwww.....

oh, and best cure has to be getting completely plastered the next morning...

I hate hangovers. When you're drinking, you forget how horrible they can be.

I've had more hangovers-bad hangovers- than many in here have had birthdays. None recently though.

One particularly bad one was after downing a bottle of rum, one 8 oz glass at a time. (After a six pack of beer in an hour, it didnt seem like a bad idea)
I won the drinking contest and was sick for a full day afterward and felt like shit for another two days.

When we used to go out drinking on a regular basis, when the bar or club closed, we'd usually hit a nearby diner. A bacon cheeseburger and fries with brown gravy and or mozzarella cheese melted over them, as well as several Cokes, seems to have prevented many hangovers.

For me, I think dehydration is the main thing that made me feel terrible afterwards. I got in the habit of drinking several glasses of water and Coke, as well as two or three asprins before I slept.

Nothing is more amazing than waking up the next day, knowing you should be half dead and actually feeling fine. Especially when all your buddies are passed out embracing porcelain.

The last time I got really drunk, my friends and I were in New York City until dawn and then we had to drive home. I got home at about 6:30. Two hours later my dad woke me up because we had to go to church - WORST place to be when you're recovering from a hangover. I almost puked while receiving communion. :(

Anyway, the cure. Have you guys ever tried drinking lots of Gatorade with an Advil? Works every time for me. Only takes about an hour. First, the Gatorade and Advil get rid of your headache and by drinking lots of Gatorade, you'll have to piss all the alcohol out.

I've drank to excess a few times but I've never had a hangover.

go away

When I was at uni, if it was cold enough, I would leave a beer outside my bedroom window and shotgun it as soon as I got up. Took care of any potential hangovers.

It's not revenge. A hangover is just your body going through withdrawal from alcohol. Give it what it wants, and no hangover.

ahhh, i misinterpreted the post. crazy kids today and your slang... i thought you meant you'd shoot the bottle

ahhh, i misinterpreted the post. crazy kids today and your slang... i thought you meant you'd shoot the bottle

No, and I'm no crazy kid. Just turned 34. :p

Shotgunning involves punching a hole on the side, near the base, of the can, putting the hole to your mouth, holding it up, and opening the can. Doing that forces all of the beer through the hole very quickly, making it possible to down the whole thing in about three seconds.

Not advised.

Best cure for Hangover is this
5 tomatos ( or 20 cherry tomatoes)
1 shot vodka
2 tablespoon chilli paste
1 tea spoon salt , 1 tea spoon sugar
tray of ice cubes
Wostershire Sauce..yum
pint of water ( additional in fridge )
add all ingredients and put in fridge before you go out of the beer ,
1. dont drink milk to line your stomach , this will visit you later when it curdles with the beer you have , you will see it sooner than you hoped
2.Break up every 3rd drink with orange and lemonade or water ( 1/2 pint will do)
3. dont eat penuts from the bowl on the bar i. these are put up to make you drink more ii. men usually dont wash hands after going to the toilet and go straight for the penuts..yuck!!!!
3. when you get home drink the pint of water
4. go to bed..you will wake up at silly o'clock ( 6 or 7am normally) go down and blitz your tomato and vodka mix and drink down.....go back to bed and kip until you have to wake up..you will feel awesome
try it what have you got to lose????

No, and I'm no crazy kid. Just turned 34. :p

Worst hangover ever:

Ronkonkoma Long Island, shots of flavored Stoli until the bar closed down, then more drinking at a friend's house. Next morning I had the worst hangover I've ever experienced. I've had some bad ones, but this one topped them all. My head felt like it was exploding in slow motion. I was so dizzy I couldn't walk without holding on to stuff. I vomited until I dry-heaved, then vomited some more, then proceeded to vomit up thick, yellow, acidic, bitter mucous-like material that stuck to the inside of my mouth and left it tasting so bad it made me keep on vomiting. I vomited until I thought my stomach was going to turn inside out and come out of my mouth. Didn't recover until the next day.

Never-fail remedy is two extra strength aspirin or Ibuprofen, two sudafed, and two quarts of iced tea. A cup of coffee is optional but recommended. Warning: the combination of aspirin, sudafed, and caffeine will elevate your heart rate and blood pressure.

Screw 151. Go with Everclear with a splash of orange soda for flavour.

That yellow stuff was the lining of your stomach. I've seen that a few times. The bloody ones come after that.

Note: I'm pretty sure that you SHOULDNT take Tylenol when drinking-it can cause catastrophic liver failure.

Shouldn't take any aspirin while drinking. It's a blood-thinner and not only gets you drunk faster, but it also, yes, can fuck up your liver.

I don't take tylenol when drinking. In fact, I don't take any pain reliever while I'm drinking just to be safe. I take them afterward to kill the hangover.

I'm not drinking anything out of a mason jar these days.

Chemistry lesson where you discover that 25-page report was completely wrong. You didn't want something to cure my hangover, did you?

I have to look it up, but I think taking Tylenol and its related products with alcohol in your system can kill some people.

I would avoid it the next day too. I had heard this a while ago and I'm sure Ive taken Tylenol at some point for a hangover, but a few months ago, a friend's niece supposedly died after moderate drinking and a normal dose of Tylenol.

I drank some moonshine out of a mason jar about a month ago. First time I ever tried the stuff. Strong as hell, but surprisingly tasty.

Yeah, I've heard the same. I use aspirin or Ibuprofen (motrin). I don't use tylenol at all anymore. My liver has enough to worry about. Sorry about your friend's niece. Maybe they should ban tylenol.

I did it in shot glasses -- six to be precise.

The worst hangover I've ever had was when I got completely written off, shared my dinner with some bushes outside, waited 20 minutes and then ran 20 minutes home before passing out. Hangovers are all about dehydration, and whatever I had left after the vom all disapeared after the run. Work the next day wasn't a whole lot of fun, but I fronted up and went anyway.
