Favourite hangover cure...

As much water as you can handle before you go to sleep is the only way I have avoided a hangover. It works like a charm every time. I have tried some really dodgy stuff the morning after if I "forget" the water trick and the only affective method has been orange juice and a fry up.
 
None as far as i know. I figured out something quite interesting. I have low-

blood suger. What happens now is, everybody that goes on a drinking spree

experience a rise in blood sugar, thats why we're so active after a couple of

beers. 10 to 1 ill drink the majority of ppl on this site under the table.

Reason? When my sugar level reaches lets say level X, your suger level will

be much higher. When you pass out ill still be standing, BUT, this is where

the good stops. The next day after both our suger levels has dropped, mine

will be lower than yours meaning ill be a total WRECK! No mates, in all my

years of drinking ive never actually found a geniune CURE!..You have to

suffer it out :(
 
Wow this is an old thread! but Alcohol stays in your system much longer than the sugar.

On a molocular level, they are pretty much the same. Alcohol: C2H6O and Sugar: C6H12 O6, With sugar being more complicated of course.

When you start drinking, Your body tries to get rid of them both as quickly as possible. Now the thyroid gland controls the rate at which the blood sugar is burned and the pancreas controls the blood sugar level by secretion of insulin or glucagon.

Most alcohol is broken down, or metabolised, by an enzyme in your liver cells known as alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). ADH breaks down alcohol into acetaldehyde, and then another enzyme, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), rapidly breaks down acetaldehyde into acetate. The acetate is further metabolised, and eventually leaves your body as carbon dioxide and water.

Problem is your body likes handling and breaking down sugar as it is a natural substance known to it. So especially if you have low blood sugar, your liver will start to break that down fast and quickly and then store it for use later in the liver. Breaking sugar down requires water, and lots of it. So you end up drinking more because your thristy. But what about the Alcohol? Well it just gets passed back to the blood stream to be broken down later when your liver is happy with the sugar levels, so you get drunker and drunker. When you body finally does start to break down the Alcohol, it again needs water but at this time you have usually passed out or are sleeping. Since you have stopped drinking liquids, your body removes the water from itself in order to break it down, It gets this from your brain and from your muscles.

This is pretty much why you have a headache the next morning and feel like you have been put through a meat blender. This is why the drink water before you go to sleep and take a painkiller thing usually works the best, Because you have added water required for the process and the painkiller takes away the headache and sore muscles for a little while when you wake up.

Until we are able to get the liver to break down the alcohol first, we will always have hangovers, and is also why people who drink alcholol with water instead of soda's like coke, generally feel better in the morning than others as well.
 
Has any one mentioned lots lots lots of water.
As you all know, alcohol dehydrates your body, that is why you get drunk and eventually a "hangover".

Okay guys just learned this in class. The definitive Rehydration therapy aka anti-hangover medicine:

It's called an ORT (Oral Rehydration Therapy)
it involves you repeatedly drinking a solution of 6 spoons sugar 1 spoon salt mixed in water.
It rehydrates you very quickly and works waaay better than just plain water ;)
 
3 Ponado's and 2 big glasses right before going to bed. As much water as you can stomach during the night if you wake up.

Next morning, something very greasy, I prefer a double bacon and cheese burger form wimpy with a lot of cream soda

Wont work for an "alcohol hangover" due to the sugar problem in the liver. You'll just slow the process down and it will come back later. You more than likely still have alcohol in your system and you want it out. Sugar will keep it there.

I also see it hasn't been mentioned yet in 3 years of this thread :) , Mac Nab tablets help a bit for that "I dont want to move today" feeling. Kombucha tea as well if you can ever find it.
 
Yes, if done in that order. It's works like that other stuff that saves your liver I guess... can't remember it's name right now.

But the best way to not have a big hangover is drink water during drinks... hangovers are from dehydration and loss of certain minerals and vitamins in your system.
 
They do work, and by "work", I mean you will successfully tar your toilet with this black stuff after you swallow KGB pills.

can't remember if it helped with the hangover though....
