Your best Hangover cures

A pint of water with one of those effervescent vitamin C tablets in it before you go to bed. As soon as you wake up, two Nurofen and another pint of water.

For breakfast blend half a pint of milk, half a pint of orange juice, a bannana and a spoonful of honey and a raw egg. Drink it!

20 minutes later, you WILL feel fine.

I'm in two minds whether to think "yeh, that sounds good, try it" or "ewwww not touching that".

I cant imagine me thinking "oo that sounds nice" to that whilst hung over...

I wonder if there is any scientific reason these work other than a placebo effect

I use them Anti Hangover tablets from Superdrug. 2 with after every 2 pints. Wake up fine in the morning after drinking to excess

I used some of them once, think were called Hate hangovers or soemthing like that.

Used them on Chrstmas Eve, off to the parents house very early the next day so thought I might aswell give em a try.... Amazed that they actually worked. Very impressed.

Nate · 24 Mar 2006 at 13:00

ok maybe stuffing those cookies werent a good idea

tuckenator · 24 Mar 2006 at 13:02

i just try and nail as many different types of drink as i can, as water always tastes No swearing! after a night out. Lucosade, ribena, i find a cuppa tea always makes you fell a load better. And a killer fry up.

Otacon always told me to drink half a pint of coke and half a pint of water before going to bed. Can't remember why, but since doing it i've never had a hangover since

RU21's from Superdrug but there are other variants. No feeling sick or Headache. Just feel tired in the morning.

Apparently they stop the alcohol distilating in your liver or something hence no hangover

Most of the suggestions in here are preventative measures, not cures

A walk around the block in the morning does it for me

This man knows his hangover cures

Irn-Bru(the original works, don't know about imitations) and a packet of Salt and Vinegar Squares have set me right more than once.

Normally though I'm quite lucky and I'm fine the next day anyway, the only preventative measure I take is maybe drinking some water or milk before bed.

if (like me) you are unable to drink water before bed possibly due to passing out then i suggest eating chopped tomatoes or normal tomatoes in the morning.

they seem to work wonders. generally though, lots of food and water does the trick

Well in that case a bowl of "Tony the Tiger" used to do wonders for me on a rough morning

There is science behind my super-amazing patented cure.

Your liver needs vitamin C to process alcohol, so hence the OJ. Honey will help raise your blood sugar and thus prevent you feeling sick and tired. Milk and egg will provide protiens for mending all the damage you have done to yourself (membranes and the like) and will settle your stomach. Banana provides more sugar as well as pottasium that is crucial in balancing the electrolytes and sodium (or something like that - I am not a biochemist) in your body and all the liquid will help the rehydration.

Three cups of water, a cup of orange juice, 1/3 cup of sugar and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt will also work and is a good substitute for those expensive so called 'sports drinks'.

A good old fashioned fry up and a gallon of tea is much more palatable though.

Plenty of water throughout the night a pint before I go to bed and a pint every time I go to the loo in the night, Then a full english when I get up.

The full English is the important part! Mmmmmmmm black pudding

one or two bottles or glasses of water at the end of the night works a treat!!

Bloody Mary tbh, nothing like picking bits of celery out of your teeth in the morning....
