Your hangover cures?

arctine · 8 Mar 2012 at 13:52

Well after a few rough mornings this week, it suddenly occurred to me; I have a post night out routine.

Every morning after I've been out on the pop I'll buy two bottles of mango rubicon and anything filthily greasy to eat. Usually involving bacon.

This past week or so, McDonald's breakfast has been a favourite.

After drinking/eating the acquired rubicon and filthy food, I'll lie in my bed for about an hour doing absolutely nothing. Not even sleeping. Just laying there with my eyes closed.

Hangover cured.

What do you do?

Water.

tom_e · 8 Mar 2012 at 13:56

Sleep, lots and lots of sleep

Gilly · 8 Mar 2012 at 13:56

Fry up, ice cold coke, coffee, OJ and go back to bed.

Water, sleep, water, sleep, coffee. (when it's really bad a small snifter helps)

I was like this up until relatively recently. Ever since I was around 20 I started getting hangovers and they've gotten progressively worse.

Trust me, your luck will run out

There's about 20 threads on this allready, but anyway. You need to realise what effect alcholo has on the body and try to rectify them, something's you can't do anything about, but plenty you can.

The basic things you need to correct your body after a heavy session.
You blood sugar levels will be low so you need sugar for instant boost and carbs for longer lasting affects.
You need salt as you have wasted loads sweating and peeing.
Water due to dehydration
Fat as your stomach PH level will now be very high it's why people get a dodgy stomach.
Caffeine as you haven't slept properly

This, lots before bed, so much that you feel sick, and you'll be fine.

Lay there all day feeling sorry for myself.

Orange juice/lemonade (50:50)

If you feel sick in the morning, just get it over and done with. Otherwise, you'll just re-digest it all and feel terrible!

Trebor Extra Strong Mints & loads of water are another good one.

This is also excellent, but painful

caffeine is just going to make you crash even harder, surely sleep would be better for you?

Ahleckz · 8 Mar 2012 at 14:02

Today it was coffee, which I then spilt all over my desk, then it was another coffee which went inside me. Something to eat, anything stodgy really, I had macaroni cheese today and lots of water.

Or, if it is appropriate I'll hair of the dog. I was driving this morning so couldn't do that.

You're not drinking enough.

But you either cant sleep or have other things to do. Doesn't reall matter if you crash at bed time.

Bananas ! mainly for getting rid of the shakes. Apparently bananas are high in Potassium and this is perfect for the morning after a night on the pop twinned with several glasses of water

HEADRAT · 8 Mar 2012 at 14:03

Orange Calippo

PapaLazaru · 8 Mar 2012 at 14:05

Berocca followed by an Alka Seltzer XS with additional ibuprofen, followed by a massive fry up.

If that fails, then beer.

Samueltastic · 8 Mar 2012 at 14:09

Half a glass of orange and half water. half a T-spoon of salt and some fruit.

If all else fails I find coke to help somewhat as well.

kaffe · 8 Mar 2012 at 14:12

I don't really get hangovers. When I do though, I usually just have some thing sugary, then something greasy and I'm good to go. NEVER the other way around though.

I'll never forget the day I bought a huge fry up from the local cafe and ate one mouthful before pushing my plate away. I later on had a can of KA Grape (noms) and then really fancied the fry up I had abandoned. It was a sad day.
