Hangover Cures

[Chuck]

Hi all,

Thought I'd start this topic to see how each of you coped with this problem that god probably invented to punish us for our habit. A bit like cocaine being described as god's way of politely telling you you have too much money. (Also described as nose candy or Columbian Marching Powder.)

I used to suffers absoluted shockers being totally useless the next day. Trying to remember to drink large amounts of water before bed was tough. However a few years ago I developed a serious ongoing unrelated illness. The medication has many side effects but one positive is I have not had a hangover since.

What's your cure?

In the foolish days of my youth I used to get nasty hangovers which I attempted to cure with raspberry Lemonade.

Now in my dotage I use lemon lime and bitters mineral water. If you have a day to waste a couple of light beers are also good.

The other cure I occasionally use is a good breakfast, preferably of the full Irish variety; fried eggs, bacon, sausages, grilled tomatoes and black pudding washed down with orange juice and strong black tea. In Scotland I tried this with haggis with less than satisfactory results.

Of course the best cure is prevention, but then life is about taking risks.

Th vitamin B is what the body craves.

Whisk an egg white and combine with two tablespoons of worcestershire (black) sauce, a teaspoon of lime juice, a quick drizzle of honey, half a cup of full cream milk and top up with coke.

Drink and give it half an hour. Works every time.

hey Darby, if you can keep down a full Irish breakfast or (god help us) even look at a haggis, you ain't got a hangover.

For me, a shot of morphine and a saline drip - no, but seriously, a big hot mug of very strong coffee, with a measure of brandy/vodka/scotch (insert any spirit) in it, drunk with a multi-vitamin and a couple of Mersyndols/Panadeine Fortes or similar. Repeat if necessary.

hum....if you can manage ot spare a couple of hours in the morning from work.............. a hot bath followed by sauna, then a hot spicy bowl of laksa to sweat that last bit of toxin out of you - usually gets you ready for another big night by mid-afternoon!

Water !
I keep a 2 Lt water bottle next to my bed and every time I wake during the night I chug down a good third of it.
If I'm still green the next day(rarely), a couple of Tylenol's and heady cups of Starbucks dark roast usually sets me straight.
However, in worse case scenarios I have had to resort to ingesting an egg McMuffin and a McStick of hash browns.

Fernet Branca...for morning sickness (on good authority) and hangovers (on better authority) is a digestivo...

Water, 2 panadol, and back to bed!

I think I'd rather have the hangover!

I usually go for the greasy breakfast and the hairy dog.

Kris,

It was actually something I made up on the spot. I was hoping that by now, someone would have tried it and told me yay or nay!

In any case, I think the effect would be desirable - you'd have a good spew after drinking it and feel a million bucks.
