Hangover prevention.

ChroniC · 15 Oct 2015 at 14:53

Alright, now I am betting we or a lot of us have a fair amount of experience with hangovers so I am going to see if anyone has a clever way to prevent/ease one.

Before some smartass say "don't drink" that isn't an option I am planning too through choice.
I will be attending a pre-wedding knees up followed the day after by free alcohol at the ceremony.
This is 99.999999% going to lead to me feeling rough as a badgers **** so I am looking for some home made remedies or preventatives to be more prepared than a scout in a camping shop.
I'd love to say I can just handle them, in my younger years I could brush them off but in my early thirties it hammers me hard.

Go!!

Are you planning to get slaughtered at both events?

MooMoo444 · 15 Oct 2015 at 14:56

Just don't stop drinking. It will dull the pain.

Luggs · 15 Oct 2015 at 14:57

Don't get sober in between the events

I am known to have little to no will power, but I will try not to on the pre-wedding. I am with some big drinkers and tend to be one to a degree. This will mostly be a Sunday recovery option.

Down a tinny as soon as you wake up, don't lift your head from the pillow though.

Drink plenty of water between proper drinks

Or that!

highly unlikely this crap is effective. Milk thistle is known to have some protective actions as I know a lot of roid heads use it pre, during and post cycle.

Always drink on an empty stomach, make sure to mix your drinks up plenty (beer & spirits go really well), don't drink water and make sure to drink as quickly as possible - down drinks, don't sip.

Drink as much water as you can stomach (preferably 1 pint of water to each pint of beer); (this will also prevent you from drinking as much alcohol on day 1)

Good advice, then when you wake up again in a couple of hours drink another and go to sleep again till as late as you can. You'll be fine!! Those two extra drinks won't do you any harm plus you'll be drunk again so will easily go back to sleep

Get some Berocca Orange and just double the dose.

My hangover cure is to simply start drinking again. 9am this morning in the pub, ready for another night out later. Alcoholic first world problems.

Don't try and keep pace with them.

Just build you slowly until you pass out after the wedding.

Have a greasy meal washed down by a pint of milk before you start.

A glass of water after every drink/shot that you have. Sober up sufficiently before going to sleep.

Ayahuasca · 15 Oct 2015 at 15:06

Oh, nearly forgot to mention the morning fap spree over all the birds you nearly got with if you weren't so trashed.

Dont drink crap drinks. Go for neat spirits, but the 'top shelf' ones, not the dross they use in mixers etc.

ci_newman · 15 Oct 2015 at 15:10

Stay hydrated (note, alcoholic beverages leave you with a net-loss of hydration), eat plenty of food (it will reduce your capacity to drink liquids) and get lots of sleep.

Oh, and have headache pills ready for the next day.
