Hangovers...

[jeepjeepwhat]

How do you cure them?

I usually take a daily vitamin, some tylenol, and a very tall glass of gatorade seems to do the trick for me.

I've heard some crazy remedies for a hangover so I thought I'd give everybody a chance to chime in. And before anybody says it "don't drink" is not an acceptable cure for a hangover.

Before you go to bed for the night take the cap off a bottle of beer and let it set out till morning.

When you get up drink the warm flat beer.

While i don't have much call for it anymore, sugar and fluids. Eating and drinking milk before going out, helps even more. Or eating right after drinking.

A large glass of water and two Advil before bed, a second glass when I wake up in the middle of the night to get rid of the first, and a third when I wake up in the morning.

A big breakfast at my favorite greasy spoon with lots of coffee and OJ.

I never found a cure for a hangover, only a prevention. Don't drink.

That's about the best way. Hangovers are enhanced by dehydration. Lots of fluid before bed and repeat when you get up. I prefer a good stout bloody mary to the breakfast however

The only thing I hate more than vodka is tomato juice... yuck!

Back in the day when I had to get up and be productive in the a.m. and was gonna be out among 'em the evening/night before, I always placed a large empty cup on my pillow. Said cup reminded me that it was beneficial to drink a very large amount of water before hitting the crib.

'Course, that didn't help a bit if I was unable to find my bedroom and was relegated to sleeping on the couch.

This topic is timely because just yesterday a pal remarked that being drunk at 3 o'clock in the afternoon is a feeling that just cannot be replicated in the dark hours of the day. I think I shall check in with her to see how she's doing this morning.

Be safe.

Like Willie sang, "the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert".
In Latin America they swear by "Mondongo" tripe stew, available at most late night and early morning diners, I'd rather just live with the hangover.

Seriously, I haven't had a hangover since I cut way, way, back on the drinking about 4 years ago. Had enough of them before that to last me for the rest of my life.

Like the guy said,

"I got sick and tired of being sick and tired"

That line is from "Sunday Morning Going Down" and was written by Kris Kristofferson. It was first sang by Johnny Cash.

Hangover cure...

The Chinese general Sun Tsu said the cure for a hangover was not to have one but let your enemy have one and then conquer him the next morning! While this is not a cure it is a good idea. I have no cure for hangovers other than try to eat something and ride it out. Maybe a cup of good coffee. I avoid them cuz they suck. Have you ever shot a bowling pin match with a hangover?

That's an old wives tale.
All that does is prolong the hangover for an hour or get you started on drinking for another day. It don't work either way.

No, but I've shot many Sunday morning trap shoots with one. Thank god, no more.

Saw one of those Dr.s on Fox News the other morning, Jan 1st I think. He said honey works. Something about the natural sugars burning up something or other. He didn't say how much. I couldn't understand it all because my head was throbbing so hard.

I've only had 1 hangover.

After a bachelor party I was so sick the next day that it cured me of drinking to excess. Finally, in late afternoon I began to feel better.

Found out later a fellow guest had shot spray paint into my long neck.

Now, when my lips get numb, I quit.

There ain't no "cure" Only time.

Drink lots of water take some aspirin, Tylenol whatever works best for you head.

As you hug the porcelain throne, saying I am never drinking again.

actually, there is a semi-cure. pedialyte, it rejuvenates you with all of the electrolytes, and the main reason for the headaches and feeling like crap is the dehydration that alcohol causes, it was suggested to our guys by the head athletic trainer at my college as well. I used it after all of my weight training and it helps you out very very quickly so i would assume it would be great for hangovers as well. (never had a hangover so i cant attest to that, but science says it works and so do some of my buddies that i suggested it to)

I liked Lewis Grizzard's cure--it started, "Take the juice of a quart of Whiskey . . . "
