Any suggestions might help. I feel like I'm gonna die.

Hair of the dog. Get back on that horse soldier!

Drink some more?

Advil, greasy food (like McDonald's), and time.

if sleep isn't an option, happy suffering...

I recommend laying low, drink 2 Beroccas in a mineral water, drink 2 large glasses. You need to re hydrate all day, sports drinks are good, lots of replenishment vitamins. Be careful what you eat though, I find scrambled eggs on toast works, avoid coffee and caffeine. Also try gargling some paracetamol dissolved in water. In the afternoon try to go for a long walk and then get an early night....

Yuck, I can't even think abut food or drinking more right now.


I woke up and I was so hungry that I ate everything I found.

10 minutes later I found the same food in my toilet, wondering what it was doing there.


My head aches, I feel sick, tired and weak, but I can't fall asleep again.



Is this what getting old feels like?

Sip water and rest.

Violet leaves steeped in boiling water works wonders, but I doubt you've got violets growing around in January.

And find someone sweet to stroke your head all day and look after you

- drink plenty of fluids, preferrably water or apple juice
- eat "Rollmops", and lots of it ( it really helps!)
- eat soup, chicken or tomato soup
- eat pretzels
- drink coffee
- Alka-Seltzer, one or two
- zinc supplements with at least 15 mg zinc per capsule

This should do the trick.

What in the fishy fuck???

Well, you've puked...so your stomach will be better from here out. Stick to clear liquids for a little while (you might try a couple Advil, too) and go back to bed for a little while. Then get up and have some grease in a couple hours.

i don't recommend coffee, just makes you more dehydrated. Give your liver and kidneys a chance to do their job without putting more toxins in your body.

Lie down on the bed, listen to tapes that contain sounds of children screaming or people dragging their fingernails across a chalkboard and think about all your ex's who have mistreated you?

Drink about an acre of water. Some people swear by Gatorade, but I think that shit is nasty.

gatorade makes me even more thirsty...and tastes like it's probably intended for anal douching...

They´re not that tasty but they help. I´m sure you´ve read that Wiki text that you provided a link to...here´s what it says:

In pubs in Old Berlin, it was common to have high-rising glass display cases (Hungerturm, meaning "hunger tower") on the bar to present ready-to-eat dishes like lard bread, salt eggs, meatballs, mettwurst (bacon sausage) and of course rollmops. At the present time, rollmops are commonly served as part of the German Katerfrühstück (hangover breakfast) which is believed to restore some electrolytes.

Good stuff !

Just saying... seems to work for other people.

my general hangover plan:

lots and lots of water
fruit juice
a bit of caffeine
ibuprofen
once you can eat - big, greasy breakfast w/protein and lots of carbs, like hashbrowns and eggs and toast
nap on the couch while bad tv is on - I prefer infomercials and/or Friends

by evening I'm right as rain - or at least feeling roughly human again

I always have taken 3 advil with a redbull or coke, every 4 hours, the caffeine helps it to work faster, then I drink kool aid made extra sweet for most of the day... then I munch on saltines till i feel well enough to stomach top ramen noodles....There is no quick fix sadly.... you feel like shit cuz you dehydrated yourself... Alcohol send a signal to the kidneys to make them keep riding your body of fluids so thats why you get that nasty headache! So keep drinking CONSTANLY! The sugar and salt of my earlier suggestions helps replenish the electrolytes that are out of whack in your system... The trick when you are out drinking is to have a glass of water with every drink you have... It totally works in avoiding that omg im dying feeling!! Feel better soon!!

Thank you all.


I tried out some of the things I could get my hands on here and then managed to take another nap. I still feel like a pot whale rolled over me a couple of times, but it's getting a little bit better.

However, no chance I'll be able get myself involved in society today.




I have had lots of hangovers, but this one is up there with the worst ever. The wine must have been bad, and mixing red wine, white wine, vodka, tequila, bloody mary, beer and some other shit I remember a woman giving me certainly was not a good idea.

Two BC powders.

I swear by stuff called Urban Detox by Function Drinks.
You can get it at Target & Whole Foods. Chug one of those and about a hour later eat a big ass breakfast.

This is exactly what I do. But then add a packet or two of Emergen-C in there as well.

Don't drink.

Dave1992 said:

Is that it?

Come on son, that's what we drink to warm up in Scotland

For the record my hangover cure is a large glass of Mr Sheen

I don't drink and it really bothers me when my friends are like "Hey, are you normal? Weirdo. Everybody drinks alcohol." But they miss the fact I could have some fun with them even without alcohol.

ernestsewell said:
