Post your best hangover cure

i’m struggling this morning. what’s your best remedy? so far i’m on 2 glasses of water, 2 motrin and a large vat of coffee.

also, whats your most memorable hangover? how long did it last? what gave it to you?

last nite we had 4 different kinds of rum, vodka and a couple different cordials. it was bartender mix-up night when we try to create recipes and forget the workweek.

ps for de: is the photo uploader missing from the "create a new thread" form?

people at work all swear by green gatorade. I dunno - never tried it.

I have actually never had a major hangover like most people end up with. Thankfully for me! yay!

I dont get hangovers anymore. That is because I stick with the top shelf alcohol (Grey Goose). But when I was younger and drank Absolut, I would counter my hangover with tylenol and tomato juice.

The best cure for hangovers is to avoid them in the first place!

LOL no I don’t mean not drink - where would be the fun in that?

They say that the reason you get hangovers is dehydration and Vitamin C deficiency. So, before you go to bed, drink lots of water, or if you have it, OJ. I mean LOTS. It works, believe me.

Coffee is probably bad, because it dehydrates you even more.

Another one is to be careful what you drink - for some people red wine will cause a HUGE hangover - experiment (a LOT! Dead

) with drinking different things and find out what your body can best tolerate when you want to get wasted.

If you’re close to the coast, a friend strongly recommends bodysurfing first thing in the morning as a cure!

I agree with grannit about drinking A LOT of water before bed, along with a few Advil always works for me. Or maybe its the greasy burger and like 5 gallons of Gatorade I always get a craving for when im smashed. I dont know why but I’ll make whoever is driving my drunkass home, friend, cab whatever to stop at some burger joint and a convienance store for the Gatorade. Works for me!

My all time favorite hangover cure used to be a greasy taco I got from a shop in Waldorf MD. Dont know if that place is still around, but it did the trick for me back in the day.

same here, lotsa water or other fluids (non-alcoholic, that is) and it’s all good
alcohol dehydrates your brain, that’s why you get such a bad headache if you don’t replenish

V-8 tomato juice if you can stomach it. But as the queen of the bad hangover, may I suggest a dietary suppliment called "chaser" that is bought in most over the counter pharmacies. You take this while you drink. It has cured my hangovers better than anything else thus far.
