So I come into work today and my colleague looks green...

This is not the first time he has turned up to work hung over since he started a year ago. He is 29, single and lives with his parents so he has oodles of disposable income (plus he gets paid 2k per year more than me)

He disappeared to the loo's for about 20 mins before and came back looking even worse :rolleyes:

I have told him that his body is dehydrated, so he needs water. I also read somewhere that your body needs salt when your hung over, that's why you tend to feel better once you have had the holiest of holy foods: Bacon Butties...so far he has done nothing, except drink coffee, have a Mountain Dew and he is now endeavoring to eat 2 Pop Tarts! :rolleyes: :D

Anyway, what are your hang over cures/ rituals? And do they actually work? :)

I tend to instantly go for a pint of tea and a fry up.

Or, if missing ingredients for fry up, the components that I do have sandwiched between two slices of bread.
 
After 22-23, hangovers become a real struggle. Mine usually last two days now.

Imo, there is no 'magic cure', doesn't seem to be much difference in how quickly it goes. Two of my favourites though.

-Pints of orange juice & lemonade + fried breakfast

If I can't stomach that

-Sit/lie down and rot all day
 
I wouldn't mind, but this happens at least once a week! Makes me so :mad:

Doesnt help that he is a whiny man child with it :rolleyes:
 
Similar to above, but I tend to go round to the burger van round the corner from me and get a fantastic bagette of jumbo sausage, 4 rashers of bacon, mushroom and red sauce, all for only £3.50 too! :D
 
A combination of lots of water, some full fat Coke, 2 or 3 bananas and a protein shake will generally lift me into a slightly less awful place.

If it's been a monster of a night then you weep until all the bad things go away of their own accord. This is typically two or three days later. There is no remedy to make this happen more quickly.
 
Have to say full fat coke and a McDonalds used to work for me. Then it was a can of Red Bull and a snack tub of fruit from Tesco/Sainsbury's...then a Jacket Spud for dinner :)

Urgh...he is looking worse and worse...forcing the pop tarts down and still feeling sick :rolleyes: I have said to my boss (don't worry - banter) to not send him home :p
 
Is he fat? Can you post a pic? I think we need to see what we're dealing with.

If he's a professional then he'll be using the Pop Tarts for a short sugar infusion but he needs to back that up with some medium to long term foods to help balance the spikes.
 
Prevention is better than cure... A pint or two of water before bed and most of the time I don't suffer at all.

Hangovers are mostly a result of dehydration rather than a chemical problem, recovering from dehydration is harder the longer you have it - re-hydrating before sleep means more time to recover.

Oh, and your colleague is a **** for getting wasted on a school-night!
 
There is no cure. You can do various things to feel better about yourself, but the hangover never goes.

Once you grow up this becomes glaringly obvious :p
 
Got a sneaky snaky shot, but it doesn't really show the paler of his white and green skin:
