hangover cures?

[pistol*b]

Do you guys have special recipes for hangovers?I have a couple of methods like to have a tomato juice (bloody mary also works fine!), or eat some feta cheese, also have a big cup of yogurt.....

Tell me some!

When I suspect that I've drank too much and will have a hangover the next day, I always pop three ibuprofen tablets before I hit the sack. That usually prevents it. Works better than aspirin or Alka-Seltzer for me, anyway.

I take Alka-Seltzer because it has a pain reliever, caffeine, and antacid for the sour stomach.  Gatorade is a good chaser since helps replenish your precious bodily fluids.

How has nobody suggested that you just have a beer to get you to work? It doesn't matter if yer hangover comes back, you wouldn't want to be there anyway, but at least you made it & you'll make it through.

If it's a weekend then just go back to the pub for a bit, go home & pass out... or stay out all day & do it again.

A big bottle of Gatorade and two asprins before going to bed. Not sure if that is the best thing for your stomache or liver when you already have them overloaded though.

And as gross as many people seem to think it is, a big bowl of menudo really does seem to help me the morning after. Lots of fattiness and spicyness. Oh and lots more water.

The O2 isn't the trick, Saline Solution is.

Think about it: You're dehydrated, and an Isotonic IV will directly replenish your shit. Too bad when you ask anyone at a hospital for Saline Solution and needles they figure you to be a junkie. Damn shame, I'm just trying to get prepped for the morning after. You will seriously be good to go in under 30 minutes. And starting an IV isn't too hard (although prepare to be stuck 3-4 times if your mates have never done an intravenous puncture before)

Isotonic drinks ain't bad either, although much less effective. Coconut Water is fantastic.

I'm a big fan of Alka Seltzer.  A friend of mine was a paramedic.  He would inject himself with saline solution and suck on an oxygen mask.  I don't know about the I.V. but Granny won't miss a little O₂ will she?

The Lusty Bloody Ben

Ingredients

3 large stalks celery from the heart, including leaves, plus extra for serving

36 ounces tomato juice (recommended: Sacramento)

2 teaspoons Lusty Monk Original Sin

1 teaspoon grated yellow onion

1 lemon, juiced

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon celery salt

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 1/2 cups vodka

 

DIRECTIONS

Cut the celery in large dice, including the leaves, and puree in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until finely minced. In a large pitcher, combine the rest of the ingredients except the vodka. With the food processor running, pour 1/4 of the tomato juice mixture into the food processor through the feed tube. Then pour the contents of the food processor into the pitcher with the remaining tomato juice mixture. Add the vodka and chill. Serve in tall glasses over ice with a stick of celery.

Chug a glass of water, shower, eat brekkie, lotsa OJ and coffee, keep drinking water.

Music of choice helps, esp. if you have the day off. Then go out and catch some sun.

Drink Scotch. Not crappy blends like J&B, the real 12-to-18-year-old single malts. Once you get a taste for it you can get hammered like a railroad spike, then wake up feeling just fine. I swear to you, it's amazing.  Just DON'T mix with beer or other mixed drinks. Pick a decent brand and stick with it. Weekdays can be like weekends!

Yes! Highland Park is my go-to...

I'm quite skeptical as to whether there are really any true hangover cures.  I can't handle my booze like I used to, but I find that drinking lots of water while I'm getting drunk makes a HUGE difference the next day.  Waterlogging myself before I go to bed/pass out helps me a lot as well.  Be careful with the Ibuprofen/Acetaminophen.  While most people know that booze & acetaminophen is a recipe for liver failure, many don't realize that in combination with Ibuprofen there is a highly increased risk of renal failure.  Enjoy your parties, dudes & dudettes. :)
