The Auswine Forum

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?

Chuck

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.

Cheers

Vegemite on Toast with fresh squeezed OJ.

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.

Don't stop drinking!

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.
