Your hangover cures?

At least a pint of water before bed.
Wake up, another pint of water and a couple of ibuprofen if you have a headache.
Avoid paracetamol as your liver is already too busy.

Then poached eggs on toast, with a little coffee.
 
How and why would a fry-up help?

The worst and usually only part of my hangovers is horrendous nausea, anything greasy just makes it worse.

I find green tea helps a lil bit though.

I am yet to have a hangover, no matter how much I've had to drink by:

1. Taking 2x iberprofen with a pint of water before bed.
2. Repeating the action when waking up in the morning.

Glaucus going on your earlier post, quoting and even earlier post :confused:. Could you spec me a perfect hangover breakfast :D, something or a few things that include all the things your lacking after a big night.
 
That Rockstar recovery drink seems to work quite well. It's still too so it goes down well. One thing I cannot drink with a hangover is anything fizzy and if I have a cup of tea it has to be really milky.

Pint of water and food before going bed seems to help a lot too.
 
If I've got a really bad hangover, absolutely nothing helps. Water, food (not that I can eat much) and I can't sleep. No matter how hard I try.

Luckily these are few and far between. Some water, sleep and TV normally fix me up.
 
Condensed version

According to studies, drinking about 250 milliliters of an alcoholic beverage causes the body to expel 800 to 1,000 milliliters of water; that's four times as much liquid lost as gained. This diuretic effect decreases as the alcohol in the bloodstream decreases, but the aftereffects help create a hangover

Headaches result from dehydration because the body's organs try to make up for their own water loss by stealing water from the brain, causing the brain to decrease in size and pull on the membranes that connect the brain to the skull, resulting in pain.

The frequent urination also expels salts and potassium that are necessary for proper nerve and muscle function; when sodium and potassium levels get too low, headaches, fatigue and nausea can result

Alcohol also breaks down the body's store of glycogen in the liver, turning the chemical into glucose and sending it out of the body in the urine. Lack of this key energy source is partly responsible for the weakness, fatigue and lack of coordination the next morning.

The increase in glutamine levels stimulates the brain while the drinker is trying to sleep, keeping them from reaching the deepest, most healing levels of slumber. This is a large contributor to the fatigue felt with a hangover, Severe glutamine rebound during a hangover also may be responsible for tremors, anxiety, restlessness and increased blood pressure.

Because alcohol is absorbed directly through the stomach, the cells that line the organ become irritated. Alcohol also promotes secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, eventually causing the nerves to send a message to the brain that the stomach's contents are hurting the body and must be expelled through vomiting. The stomach's irritation may also be a factor in some of the other unpleasant symptoms of a hangover, such as diarrhea and lack of appetite.

Saline drip.

The other half got paralytic to the point of alcohol poisoning once (she's Irish) and had to be taken to hospital to get sorted out.

She was put on a saline drip and woke up the next morning with no ill effect at all.
 
fry up. more beer or pot. pot always takes the edge off a hangover :) also we used to always watch some family guy to put a smile on your face.

the standard was to wake up. few doobies. then into town for fry up and buy some movies. come back, more pot and watch movies.

sometimes i miss those days lol. being a dad is wonderful but sometimes i wish i was 21 again :) my life is much more boring these days
 
oh, and make sure you take a big drink to bed. its often better to have some soft drinks before bed to help with the dehydration as a lot of hangover is just being dehydrated.

i think isotonic drinks would work well with dehydration too
