And found a site that recommends what to do....a lot of them say drink Gatorade! :eek: trouble is I dont know what shops sell them as im pretty much sure its US only???

This reply wants me to get Gatorade (from http://www.ehow.com/tips_1952_3.html) :p

"One word - Gatorade! Like most other people here mentioned, being hungover is nothing more than being dehydrated. The alcohol actually dehydrates you.

Water works, but Gatorade is better, it contains the carbs and everything to put your system right. I will generally drink it up through the party, then slam down a full 32 ounces of Gatorade before I fall asleep, and I never get a hangover.

Please note: If you take in too much alcohol and get too drunk, you maybe out of luck. It's hard to drink Gatorade when you're passed out. Or you could end up like me; the last time I drank too much I couldn't keep the water or Gatorade down. That was the last, and only, hangover I've ever had."

a lot seem to mention taking vitamin B12 before I go out...

Btw do any of you ocuker's have any remedies BEFORE you go out to prevent a hangover the next day :cool:

Ta :)
 
Remedy: have at least half a pint of water for every 3-4 pints you drink. Also, just don't get too drunk. :D

There's no miracle cure against stupidity. :p

Quite the contrary. It's almost the single most useful post likely to appear in this thread.

The second being that if you must drink alcohol, don't do it to the point of getting drunk.
 
I never drink either, but I've heard that Andrew's Liver Salts are very good for preventing hangovers.

I think the OP is intelligent enough to work out for himself that he can avoid a hangover by not drinking :rolleyes:

No it wasn't... by any stretch of the imagination. Young people like a drink, and he was asking how to minimise hangover as a result of drinking. The post was about as useful as a chocolate fireguard.

Which could be useful if it was a magical fire that could only be stopped by chocolate. You never know.
 
If there was a magical cure/prevention then everyone would know about it by now. All you need to know is that drinking alcohol all night makes you very dehydrated and makes your body lose a lot of salts and sugars. So use a bit of common sense; drink some water, have a packet of crisps and maybe some sugar somewhere along the evening too. I dont think any form of 'prevention' could work terribly well, as you'll just pee it out in the evening because of the alcohol! :confused:
 
Water is a miracle substance.

All the other hangover cures are rubbish mostly. Just drink plenty of water, both before, during and after you go out drinking.

Most importantly, why not just limit your drinking in the first place and avoid the horrible experience of being sick. I just got back from Cornwall and I'm ****** sick of cleaning up my mate's sick and helping them get into bed etc. You don't go out drinking several pints and then challenge each other to a drinking contest back at the house :rolleyes:
 
I know but trouble is I dont even drink that much (not as much as uni) so cant handle it as easy...when going out roughly 2-3 pints, maybe 4 shots.....

Morning time I have bad headache :mad:

Im lightweight yea :p
 
Drop the shots... if you're a lightweight then theyre the worst thing you can do... bit like downing 2 pints in 3 seconds.

Stick to pints or more preferably alco-pops if you can't take yer swig and want to last the night.
 
I never seem that bothered about hangovers
If you mix your drinks Dont. That always helps :). I havn't recovered from last night but im off out again in an hour.
 
Not had a hangover my self and i guess its because i drink about 5-6 bottles a water everyday. It mite be the reason.

Exactly. The more water you have in your system the better. It isn't necessary to drink it after the pints if you've already got loads in your system.
