    Step 1: Drink a few pints of water
    Step 2: Throw it all up
    Still feel sick? Read this from step 1 again

    No such thing as a hangover cure, once the hangover has set in, in my experience.

    The best thing to do is to stop it from developing in the first place. My tried and tested method for this is having two slices of toast (must be toast - not pasta, not pizza, not a kebab, not a penguin) and a cup of tea before you go to bed.

    After that, I invariably wake up feeling fresh as a daisy. If I don't eat that, then I wake up feeling like death warmed up.
    that doesn't make sense, a hangover is mostly caused by dehydration, tea will dehydrate you further.

    Not gonna lie, it's not based on any form of logic - it's just what my mum used to give me when I rolled in drunk whilst I was still living at home, and it does work - I've even converted some of my flatmates :awesome:

    I'm definitely going to have to give the cup of tea a try...if I'm in a fit state to make one next time I roll in.

    What I do is I drink a lot of water, get up (don't lie in. It'll only make you feel worse), open the window (best feeling ever, especially if it's a bit windy), have a shower, eat a sandwich, drink coke (if I have any. I always crave coke so badly when I'm hungover).

    before you go to bed, you should drink a pint of water - yes you may be getting up for the remainder of the night to go to the loo, but it's probable that you'll have already passed out and will forget about that until the morning, haha

    In the morning if you're feeling really rough, I find that water and coke seem to help to hydrate you and give your blood sugar a boost. Also eating something helps even if you really don't feel like it - a bit of dry toast or something

    Lucozade energy as soon as I wake up. Then about half an hour later I have a bacon sandwich, mug of black coffee and a cigarette.

    Has never failed me yet.
    Kill you soon.

    You people.

    I can hardly stomach a glass of water in the morning, let alone pints of the stuff :eek:

    Same, don't even know what it's like
    Not even some symptoms? I never feel as hangover as most people but whenever I get wasted I wake up next day feeling like someone has just turned down the volume in my ears.

    First I drink loads of water, then I eat a banana. Sleep/ lounge for a bit more, shower, eat a meal, done. Also I find if I sober up before going to sleep I don't tend to get a hangover. The worst hangover is the one where you wake up thinking you've dodged a hangover, only to realise you're still drunk, and it kicks in later. Awful.

    this is hands down the best method and i have tried them all. a hangover is mealy dehydration and the nausea cause by spirits that have saturated your stomach lining. people telling you to eat greasy food are wrong it dose nothing to help after you have followed these steps you can eat all the beacon you want but it is not needed and the salty fatty mixture are the worst things you could use to remedy a hang over.

    step one: get up and go take a cold shower.

    step two: drink water 3-5 glasses (however **** you feel it is needed for the next step).

    step three: feel sick (this is unavoidably just ride it out for about 20 mins).

    step four: vomit profusely (it will happen and is the linch pin of this entire process as it clears your stomach lining).

    step five: drink regular coke or dr. pepper (this will replace the liquid and sugar you have lost during purging and the caffein will pep you up).

    step six: 5 mins after step five you are clear all is now good.

    depending on how soon you start this process (and most importantly the purging) you can get rid of the worst hangovers in half an hour tops.

    You're probably drunk before the alcohol consumption is likely to cause any hangovers.

    It's later on when you drink more but still reach the same peak as you did before (younger) that the hangovers really become a problem.

    So basically, this phase won't last for long, and if you read this post back in 2-3 years you'll feel stupid.

    Hangovers are mainly caused by dehydration so have a sachet of Rehydration treatment and 2 pints of water. Sorted.
