Rarely on the occasion i get a hangover,i eat a kebab.

Replaces the booze with a nice greasy bit of meat

Just dont have chilli sauce,you dont want it coming out of both ends simultaneously

Meh, pretty drunk atm, I guess you just get better at it the older you get,

Plus I usually come home and browse OcUK for a bit so my drunken typing skills are improving,

I also always read each post twice when posting intoxicated and do a search on my name to see what I typed the day after

Arjun806 · 25 Jan 2009 at 00:50

No tokeaways near me were open

this sucks

Cybermyk · 25 Jan 2009 at 00:51

Water before bed and a greasy fry up for breakfast, it works for me.

If you can't do that, open a can of Irn Bru or Cola and leave it in the fridge then drink it in the morning when it's flat.

I hope I don't have a hangover. Haate them

Food doesn't make a difference. It's a placebo effect if anything.

Plenty of water before you hit the sack and first thing in the morning. Light exercise (jog perhaps) may be the last thing you want to do but is the most effective way of beating the hangover. Obviously NEVER put your body through strenuous exercise when you are still drunk though as the alcohol already puts enough strain on your heart and body.

Or you could drink less. First year at university I drank myself silly. Now if I do get extremely drunk I stop at midnight and enjoy the club without the need to top up. Makes getting up the next day far easier

JBuk · 25 Jan 2009 at 01:12

how is it possible to get "extremely drunk" but remember to stop at midnight?

Gaygle · 25 Jan 2009 at 01:16

A pizza and as much water as you can force down yourself before bed, with a pint glass of water by your bed on standby. Worked for me brilliantly this morning as it has done many a time in the past! Standard.

Not extremely drunk, but it's amazing how having a few drinks, even a few units, less on a night out can completely affect the hangover.

I usually get slammed in a trebles bar and dance it off in the club. Saves money as well. I got sick of £50 night outs.
Do generally drink much less now. To think we used to hit the Toon 3 times a week and drink about 30 units a piece.

Funnily enough I've heard a good burger or protein shake after a night out actually massively aids liver regeneration. Not too sure if that's true though. My doc (dad) said it sounds like bull.

Marky · 25 Jan 2009 at 01:27

I take a pint of water or blackcurrent up to bed when I get in from a night out - and drink it all before I sleep - I normally wake up with no problems

I usually drink and then once I've passed it switch to water. It's got the added benefit of cooling you down, replacing all the water you've lost through dancing and people wont take the mick because they're too drunk to once you've switched

Thats not a cure and you know it, if that "cures" your hangover you drink like a new born.

As to date there is no cure for a hangover, no pill that can flush your your liver and body, the main cause of a hangover is dehydration so plenty of water can make you feel better, roughly 10 pints in a day, get some sugar into your body ( can of coke should do) and have a good full english the fat and protein gets you back to your normal levels.

But when your stomach is upside down its not easy to do the above.

Contray to popular belief it is not that your dehidradted that gives you a hangover its that your gagging for natural minerals and vitamins so peanut butter and a banana is recommended.

Edit - i also find it ironic i have wrote this while im pretty much wasted... so sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes.
