whats your hangover remedy

[vibe_xr6]

Not quite sure how long this is gunna last, but im sick of getting such bad hangovers i can get a hangover after 9 beers, i get dizzy and stuff for my hangovers and they drive me insane, so i was wondering what are you guys hangover remedys? ive tried drinking milk before, eating while drinking, drinking water before bed. i take multi vitamins everyday also.

[Dodd]

Generally i hit up a Glaceu Vitamin water and a HEALTHY breakfast. Cereal, fruit etc. I generally feel better quicker this way.

Often subway and the vitamin water aswell. Does the trick most times.

Don’t drink mate.

I find having a sandwich and some water before going to bed helps….or just having a good ol chunder.

[vibe_xr6]

haha good old chunder, my mate spews every single time he drinks, EVERY time, lately the day after my hangover i get a massive sore throat were i cant even talk, that lasts for one day

[grandpa_spec_F6]

Berocca to start, KFC with all the trimmings for breakfast then BBQ for lunch / dinner.

Great way to spend a lazy sunday, and pack stupid amounts of lard on

[cs123]

Lots and lots of water before you go to bed. At least 6 glasses.

If that doesn't work then accept you need to drink a little less.

[Ben73]

Sometimes I get hangovers after 5 beers. It's pathetic. I drink 1.2 litres of water before bed after drinking alot. Helps stop hangover but then you gotta **** all the time.

I used to finish every big night with a tomato juice and packet of salt and vinegar kettle chips...worked every time...didn't do it one night, blew 0.04 at 11am the next day when I went to check if right to drive...

Nowadays, I always have a water in between each drink...no hangover, and extra cash in my pocket...

[RedHotGT]

I go with taking a panadol as soon as I get home (from the night's events) and wash that down with berocca and a big glass of water...

wakes me up fresh as a daisy the next day!!!

[pottery beige]

trucky coffee...........

[vibe_xr6]

ive heard panadol is the worse thing yet, i dont get sick of anything i just feel like im dreaming when im not, its hard to explain and stops me from driving also

[SEZ213]

another thing to remember is most booze actually causes dehydration (mostly because once you break the seal, you keep going)...a mate used to swear by a berocca BEFORE drinking, perhaps that's a go?

Two things I did find, which may be helpful...

The only true cure for a hangover is time, however there are some things you can do to lessen your discomfort. Drink plenty of water, nourish your body with food, toast and fruit at breakfast. Consume food with some sugar, alcohol has broken down the liver's sugar stores, these need replaced. Get plenty of rest and sleep.

and

Alcohol also attacks our stores of vitamins and minerals, which need to be in the correct balance for the body to function normally. Dehydration caused by drinking can affect the balance by draining potassium from the body, resulting in thirst, muscle cramps, dizziness and faintness.

[vibe_xr6]

wow, i wonder how to get potassium back in the body

[LTDHO]

Nothing before bed, no point taking the fun out of the drink.
When I get up, greasy brunch.
After that it's usually after 1200 so I'm back on the alcohol

Banana's have potassium

And to get over a hangover, keep drinking haha

[Ducati888]

Commercial beers have more preservative in them than they used to (and less alcohol). I noticed recently that my hangovers are worse from drinking less these days. It's related to the preservatives. Boag's Draught is the worst for me. I love the beer but after 4 I know I'll have a headache the next day, so no more Boag's Draught in my fridge any more.

I make homebrew. No preservatives, no hangovers.

Canteloupe (rockmelon)
Bananas

Cucumber
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Chard
Bell pepper
Eggplant

Just be careful as too much potassium (more than 3500mg per day) can cause issues for your kidneys and heart...

Drink as much water as you can after your drinking session before you go to bed, if I have to get up early the next morning and dont want to feel like crap I will drink between 1-2 litres of water. Works a treat for me.

[Ford_The_Win]

Why not just drink less...or drink more slowly? It is perfectly possible to go out, get buzzed, have a good time and not wake up with a cracking hangover...

[killerjoolz]

make a big glass of cottees green cordial with lots of ice,works a treat

[chooka_23]

Hydralite... its for people suffering from gastro or similar things which make you extremely dehydrated... a mate got me onto it, and i've never looked back.

you can get it from chemists in 20pks.

Going to the beach for an early morning swim , or dunking head in a laundry tub full of cold water that was ice the previous night to keep the beers cold

Going for a swim in a nice cold freshwater river works for me and my mates...

Pity the 75km drive to our swimming hole is absolute torture as it's a windy coast road haha.

[FGII-XR6]

Don't drink or if you must drink don't drink to excess and become a drunken idiot

[Smoke Pursuit]

A big load of maccas on the way home from the pub makes sure I dont wake up with a hang over.. But its been a long time since I've done it.. Sigh

[LukeyST]

1) Dont mix drinks
2) Drink water aswell
3) Completely sober up before going to sleep, even if it means losing a few hours sleep to do so, this method has never failed me

Or just drink less, i dont understand how people get so much 'fun' out of being completely wasted, not remembering a thing, then feeling like crap the next day. Drinking mildly is cheaper, more enjoyable (imo) and to boot you dont feel like crap the next day.

[SSD-85]

The one that works solely for me is:

Get a good long sleep, followed by a greasy Maccas breakfast. Works everytime.

Of course, staying drunk would eliminate hangovers, but I dont recommend it.

[Iggypoppin']

Two KFC doubles. One after the other.

[vibe_xr6]
