Re: What's your best Hangover Cure?that doesn't make sense, a hangover is mostly caused by dehydration, tea will dehydrate you further.(Original post by Origami Bullets)
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. -

Re: What's your best Hangover Cure?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.(Original post by Origami Bullets)

Re: What's your best Hangover Cure?
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).

Re: What's your best Hangover Cure?
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.Last edited by iSoftie; 10-06-2012 at 00:12. -
Re: What's your best Hangover Cure?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.(Original post by Obadetona)
Same, don't even know what it's like -
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.

Re: What's your best Hangover Cure?
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. -

Re: What's your best Hangover Cure?You're probably drunk before the alcohol consumption is likely to cause any hangovers.(Original post by mau5)

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. -
Re: What's your best Hangover Cure?
Hangovers are mainly caused by dehydration so have a sachet of Rehydration treatment and 2 pints of water. Sorted.
