I swear by a pint of full-fat coke and a bag or two of ready salted crisps. Works perfectly every time.
Hope you're feeling better.

But fortunately they'll be so drunk they'll most likely miss.

I didn't include the amount of each, as I can't remember exactly anymore, but it certainly was a bottle of red wine and at least 5 glasses of white wine. I remember paying 10 vodka shots and 10 tequila shots for a friend and myself and drinking 5 of each. I had two bloody marys and a couple of pints of beer. I now remember ordering gin-tonic, too, but I don't think I had more of them.

I certainly don't think that is little for my age, as I haven't come across anyone as old as me who was able to drink more than I, but, apart from that, I really don't think that matters. I don't drink for getting drunk or showing off how much I can drink, I drink for the taste and the style of some beverages. It happens very rarely that my friends and I say we go for a "total destruction" just for the sake of it.

I meant to begin with. Yes, the best thing for a hangover is plenty of water, because a hangover is basically extreme dehydration, which causes a horrible headache.

mcmeekle said:

fair levels you off though.

Over the last five years I have discovered that the only way to make it less painful the next day is to moderate. That kind of advice is no use to you now.

Hangovers come in three categories

Bad
Very bad
Extreme

I assume from your responses that you are suffering with the third, anybody who says drink and eat has never experienced number three.

I feel your pain. I am sorry for the delay in this post, it is probably not much use now but if you do have an extreme hangover and are therefore certainly still hung-over now after five in the evening then salty thin soup with a few noodles in will sort you out if you have done pretty much what I detail below. I find a vegetable stock cube with some broken up spaghetti is good. Eggs are good if you can keep them down. They are the only known foodstuff to contain a proven hangover cure compound which boosts liver function and helps it (the liver has been working hard) deal with the toxins. Think salty sugary liquids from now on, paracetamol and loads of water before bed or your extreme hangover might become the dreaded fourth type (technically this is really only a 3b) - the two day hangover!! ,

By now you should have (or for future reference):

First - sucking ice cubes or fruit ice lollies and trying to sleep or veging out with a crap film (on a previous extreme hangover day I watched Cleopatra from start to finish and by the end of the film my hangover as the least of my worries)

Second - when (and only when) you have not puked for a few hours sip coke or gatorade, or lucozade (powerade is no good for some reason) – top tip - lemon drinks taste the same when (if) they come back up!!

Third - consider pain killers now (they can irritate your stomach if taken too soon and when you vom you are then unsure of your dose and have to wait 4 hours anyway) a combination of paracetamol and ibuprofen alternating every two hours (Each can only be taken once every four hours but for anyone with an extreme hangover pain resumes after 2 so alternate to get around the problem of killing yourself by liver failure from paracetamol overdose but remaining pain free.


Not being able to go back to sleep is a symptom of age, that one is a killer to accept, because at the end of the day it is by far the best "cure".

I just woke up with only a tiny hangover when I was expecting a massive one! My liver loves me I'm still lying in bed for the next hour or so though

One vote for Gatorade - it helps with the dehydration.

No matter how drunk I am, I never have a headache. I often feel unbearably sick, though.

Dave1992 said:

Okay. You made a TON of mistakes here.
This might even spawn it's own thread by me.


Here's the deal.
I'm a professional drinker. Not to be confused with a drunk. Those guys are amateurs.

So to prevent the way that you feel right now, there's a few rules you should abide by.

First, there's a poem you should memorize.
Beer before liquor, you'll never be sicker.
Liquor before beer, you're in the clear.
And wine, is NEVER FINE.


You NEVER break those rules.
Wine doesn't mix with ANYTHING.
So if you're drinking wine, and you have more than a glass? Then you should be drinking wine for the rest of the night. You mix it with anything else, and you're going to feel like lukewarm dogshit the next day.

So generally, if you abide by the poem you'll be alright.
Now, that's not to say that even if you stick with one genre and you drink enough you're still going to be fucked up. So there's some other tricks of the trade.

If you know you're going to be drinking a LOT, order weak mixed drinks. TELL THE BARTENDER to make them weak. You'll still get drunk eventually, but you'll be happier in the morning.

Try to mix in a glass of water between drinks.

NOW.

Let's say, despite all your best efforts and my amazing advice that you're wasted. there's a couple of things you need to do.

So you haven't passed out yet. DRINK AS MUCH WATER AS YOU CAN STAND. It will help you flush out the alcohol.

DO NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!!! I know you're tired, but if you close your eyes at this stage, you're going to get the spins, AND PUKE. So whatever you have to do to keep your eyes open, DO IT. Play video games, go for a walk, get your sex on, whatever. JUST KEEP THEM EYES OPEN.


Now, the next morning. DO NOT CHUG A TON OF WATER!!!!! I've seen a bunch of people suggest that, and it is WRONG. Here is why.

If you've managed to pass out and get some sleep, your stomach has absorbed and processed as much of the alcohol it can. You send it a bunch of water right now, and it's going to lift it out of the lining of your stomach and back into the mix. In other words, you're going to feel like ass, probably re-acquire a buzz and feel worse than you did before you drank the water.

So you're thirsty. I get it. Here are your friends.
#1) and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it, Urban Detox by Function Drinks. You can get it at Target and Whole Foods and some other health food stores. It comes in two flavors, Citrus Prickly Pear and Goji Berry. Both are good, and work. Chug one of those and you will be feeling amazingly better in about an hour.

#2) Gatorade. You quench your thirst, and get some electrolytes back in your system.

#3) VitaminWater by Glaceau. See #2. Ditto.

Don't eat, if thinking about food makes you feel queasy.
If you can watch food commercials and feel hungry? EAT A BIG ASS BREAKFAST. Greasy and carb-loaded, will help soak up a ton of the booze.

So there you go. Advice from a professional drinker.
Use it wisely.

noni juice


noni before you drink stops a hang -over from happening

because when you're dead you can't feel the pain any more

easy:

1. Two or three painkillers
2. Two or three beers

The funny thing is, I went to a friend's weekend wedding bash and got HAMMERED the night before the wedding and had a hellacious hang over.

The next day I saw that there was a little bottle of wine in our thanks for coming gift basket in the hotel room. As much as my stomach was turning and my head was throbbing, I took that wine like a woman. Within seconds I felt stellar! This is how alcoholism is made....

Otherwise I would say drink so much water that you feel like a big bloated boat all day and have grease. That's what I usually do. Having a steak with tomato juice helps too if you don't want grease.

I put a couple of sachets of KKK electrolyte powder (yes, that's what it's called ) in a 1.5 litre bottle of water and then sip it slowly but steadily until it's finished, then I take a shower (cold) and just get on with what I've got to do.

Yeah, I wasn't entirely kidding with that one.

It does make the situation easier somewhat.
