Try that 4-step method.

Time.
It works wonders.

Thanks to my crap IT skills I can't get a poll up, so I'll tell you my favourite cure......

MORE BEER!!

EDIT; Ah, got it!

The ABSOLUTE best hangover cure is not to get drubk in the first place, DUH!:p

NOT drinking in excess. Duh!

I was about to say that.

also, if it's too late for that........uh.....rehydrate.

NOT drinking in excess. Duh!

Obviously.

Oh, and drink vodka; it causes milder hangovers because there are a lot fewer non-ethanol alcohols and fusel oils. It's primarily the other stuff that causes bad hangovers; good vodka is pretty much just water and ethanol.

The best cure is the "revive" vitamin water ;)

Espresso tea. About 50ml boiling water and three teabags.


But seriously. Have a fry-up followed by a couple of apples.

I usually just have a bottle of water beside my bed. Drinking before I go to bed, if I wake up during the night etc and the hangover isn't nearly as bad.

Decapitation, while highly unconventional and disputed by most medical professionals (though Dr's Hill and West (http://usuarios.lycos.es/clubdeluniverso/asylum/selafilia/reanimator.jpg) have gone on the record as advocates of both its immediate and long-term benefits numerous times), is known to have an almost 100% success rate. It reached the height of its popularity among the nobility in 18th Century France, though, and has largely fallen out of the mainstream since then.

Alternately, you could just quit being such a pussy and wait for it to pass.

The ABSOLUTE best hangover cure is not to get drubk in the first place, DUH!:pDa best way...

tho if you do get a hangover, I hear sports drinks like Gatoraide and Poweraid are supposed to do wonders since a Hangover tends to be caused by dehydration.

I usually just have a bottle of water beside my bed. Drinking before I go to bed, if I wake up during the night etc and the hangover isn't nearly as bad.

Hell, I had a glass of water along with my glass of vodka and just alternated. I had to piss a lot, but I had almost no hangover the next morning.

Thats a bad idea if you've been drinking pastis, as you tend to feel pissed again.

What am I saying, thats a good idea!

LOTS of water, and time. nothing else. However if one doesn't drink in the 1st place, they never have to worry about nasty hangovers.

Milky tea equals teh bestxx0rz.

I'm sceptical of most so-called hangover cures, they seem like scams to me. Also, I find exaggerating my discomfort works well, especially when the sympathy trickles in.

I read that as "Drinking Pasties" and I thought, if you're swallowing the little sticky things that strippers use... you're way passed the point of being Pissed...

not to mention some interesting sights in the toilet a couple of days from then... :p

Things like time and not drinking are hardly practical solutions. Its like using abstinence to cure syphilis.

Water is good though. And exposing your body to more unnecessary excess. A couple of shots of absinthe, a massive fry up, some espresso. Then a cold shower. Youl only feel a little better after the shower than you did when you woke up. But the difference from when you had the absinthe and fried stuff will be so great that youl feel born again.

2 pints, or more, of water, the night before. Works every time.

kk before u go to bed, have a sports drink and 2 painkillers ready. drink half the sports drink with the pills, then if u wake up in the middle ofthe night drink the rest of the sports drink and in the morning u should feel a lot less seedy! also remember to drink water between alcoholic drinks too, but even if u dont, this really works!

Hell, I had a glass of water along with my glass of vodka and just alternated. I had to piss a lot, but I had almost no hangover the next morning.

Couldn't agree more!
I was a serious drinker for years, and this method served me pretty much every time. The only nasty hangovers I've had have been after nights of drinking without regular water top-ups.
Alcohol is a diuretic (makes you piss more than you drink) - so is sugar so if you're drinking sweet mixers you're doubling your pain.

Hair-of-the-dog works usually - introducing fresh alcohol to the gut kick-starts anti-alcohol enzyme production to clean up the undigested booze in your system.
This also helps with those nasty free-radicals. Undigested alcohol breaks down into free-radicals, which bond to your red blood cells and prevent them from transporting oxygen around your body. restarting alcohol digestion helps clean these out of your blood.

Drink lots of water before bed & take B vitamins and C.

In the morning painkillers and lots of eggs and strong coffee.

Not smoking three packets of winston when you are pissed usually helps too.

Also, if you exercise on a regular basis hangovers are a lot less severe because your body isn't a fat piece of crap.

Also, and I can't hit this one too hard: stay the fuk away from sugary drinks. They are evil, and will fuk you up but good the next day.

Best hangover cure?

Don't drink alcohol. :D

The best way to avoid a hangover is to eat and drink water while you're partying. Alcohol dehydrates you, which is the main cause of the misery. Alternate between booze and waters, and make sure you eat something more than finger foods.

If you ignore my sage advice, aspirin and lots of water.

Pedialyte, salt, advil, greasy food, sleep.

Sleep + water + food.

If the hangover is bad enough that it is making you puke. Marijuana+water.

It might be funny. But it's true.

Yes, salt. Someone mentioned it further up and it helps. just eat all the unhealthy crap you can, the stuff in it you should usually avoid is often just the stuff your body has lost in the night.

Time is the cure

If you lack time, white-water rafting the Nile with a crazy canadian student for a guide is a pretty good one.

Yeah, that is experience talking...

The first rapid we got to jump in and go down outside the raft, hell of a wake-p call :D

Don't stop drinking, that works nicely.

That plan is great in theory, but rarely pans out in practice.

Don't you carry a flask of "medicine" with you at all times?

The last time I executed operation 'Eternal Hammering' I discovered to my surprise that South Carolina's state troopers are a lot more polite that New York's. Nevertheless it encouraged me to space my 'experiments' with alcohol out a bit, and allow a few days in between each.

Never say sober again!

Sex..DUH!:rolleyes: We all know sex is the wonderdrug and cure all.:D Just get laid and the hangover will be gone asap.;)

None of the above, dude.

Try the classic Mexican breakast food, Menudo (yes, it's an actual breakfast dish, not an '80s boy band featuring Ricky Martin)

Sleep, rest. Plenty of fluids when you can handle them and eat good meals when hunger comes

Works like a charm every time (but its just common sense)

Plenty of water before you go to bed. In the morning, a nice big pot of tea & plenty of vegemite toast.

Yum cha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum_cha) is great for a hangover too.

Bangers and mash. Mmm.

Hashbrowns are good, too.

El Connor's personal hangover cure (From a college student, and chem major, so you know its good):

Prepare in Apple Juice:

2-3 part white Powerade
2 part Vault energy drink
1 part carrot juice
1 shot Jose Cuervo Tequila
1 raw egg

And stay close to the bathroom for a couple hours.

never ever, EVER take a pain medication with alcohol (advil, asprin, tylenol, et. al.) They are very dangerous.

I've found a banana before bed works well, as well as a large glass of water.
When you wake up, chug some water, and have a bagle. maybe some clam chowder.

Those Powerade/Gatorade sports drinks are very good indeed for hangovers.

I normally don't get hangovers but if I have an early morning for work (like 8am or what not) I have a minifridge beside my bed filled with Bananas, Water, and Gatorade.

Before sleeping, drink lots of water and take some advil, eat a banana. When you wake up, drink s'more water, eat another banana, more advil, then LOTS of gatorade. McDonalds can also help.

There is no "cure" except waiting. Nothing can decrease blood alcohol content. Obviously staying hydrated helps, but no matter what you do, the hangover will last the same amount of time.

This is off topic, but I love the idea of those little energy beer drinks...

You get buzzed and caffeinated at the same time! :D

Anything with anti-oxidants is a good preventative the night before. Tea(if you're sober enough not to soak yourself in boiling water) or anything with vitamin C in it.


And on a pedantic note, not getting drunk is more of a vaccine that a cure ;)

Water, drink lots and lots of water as I am doing right now, lol,
yes I am posting semi-drunk, lol.

I have left a friend's house or bar before driving drunk
and felling drunk like I cant drive, stopped at a 24 hour denny's
ordered some food and a pitcher of water.

Yes, I know friends dont let friends drive drunk.

Once I stopped at a 24 hour denny's ordered some food and a pitcher of water, and there was a cop at denny's who must have been on a very long break or keeping an eye on me, he kept looking and looking at me, I kept looking and looking at him and trying not to look at him, he just would not leave.

After he finally left I stayed an extra long time just sitting there
just in case he was outside waiting for me, drinking even more
water as the effect passed.

Also take a cold shower.

On drinking and driving, when you go out drinking
you have to drive home on less you call a taxi or have
a designated driver take you home or pick you up.

I once posted one of my drinking drunk storys on this forum
and someone posted back,
Dude friends dont let friends post drunk, lol.

Water, then sleep for 30 minutes, then run for the bathroom, discover that is really an outhouse and there are -20 Celsius outside.
Back to sleep for at least 12 hours. Then sex and a huge breakfast.

2 pints, or more, of water, the night before. Works every time.

That prevents the headache and general shittiness, but in the morning I still end up with a crappy "still drunk" feeling minus the fun.

Ok, I was at a party with a friend of mine. We drank some beer (less than 2 litres, anyway). I had to drive 50 km to get back home. So I stopped drinking beer at midnight and waited, sipping some coffee, until 2 am. Then I took the state road (speed limit 90 km/h) and drove at 60 km/h, slowing down to 40 km/h whenever I crossed a town (limit is 50 km/h).

I was about 15 km from my house, and it was about 2.45 am, when a road patrol of the Carabinieri stops me. I obey, and turn off the motor.
"Good morning, your papers please" says the brigadiere (sub-officer). I give them.
"Ok, now, please, step out of your car".
"Please, show what's in your pockets... ok, the luggage trunk... the seats... the glove compartment... open the motor trunk..."
Well, I was lucky they didn't go for a rectal search, I tell you, that was the only place they didn't search.
After about 20-25 minutes, the brigadiere says: "Ok, fine, everything's in order, you may go". The other Carabiniere, a troop graduate, says "You know, you looked suspicious, because you're the only one who wasn't speeding this night..."

I could have strangled them.

Contrary to popular belief, cofee will not sober you up. It will, however, turn you into a caffiene fueled drunk.

Less than two litres of beer and two hours without drinking alcohol means that you're sober. All I needed was some caffeine to stay awake. I had staged in the re-enacting of the battle of Novara (the Double Monarchy vs Kingdom of Savoy) and I had to push a field cannon through the battlefield. Ouch. I was a bit weary.

More alcohol.
The only problem that won't solve is being drunk. Which isn't much of a problem.

When is it ever a problem? Hell, I'm working on it now. ;)

I've never had a hangover (probably because I don't drink) but what I've heard is that hangovers occur because of dehydration. It takes water out of your body to purge the alcohol from your system, if you drink a lot it takes a lot of water out of your system.

So a hangover is you feeling the symptoms of severe dehydration.

Solution: drink lots of water.

Better solution: Don't drink alcohol.

Take a large glass and pour in tomato juice, juice from 1/2 a lemon, and add a lot of Louisiana Hot sauce or Tobasco sauce. Stir well, and drink.
