Favourite hangover cure...

simple.

after you drinked yourself fubar.

drink a 2x full glasses of water before you go to bed. better if you can swap it for at least 1x glass milk. though milk might turn you stomach if you are way passed pissed and already on the brink of share your drink with the toilet.

If you cannot pronounce it, don't drink it.
Drink slower.
Pace yourself.
Know your limits.

There is no cure for a hangover, except not drinking to begin with! :p

Wise words.
 
hahahaah milk? lmao....talk about testing yourself :P so no one has tried those pills you can take. Kbg or something.i think the drinking slower point makes alot of sense.i wont ever mix alcohol again since my matric dance...i remember almost drowning in a jacuzzi.
 
What I do is drink lots and lots of water before I go to bed. Like seriously so much that you feel incredibly full and then some.

Then I mostly wake up feeling close to normal.

There is debate about whether a hangover might be prevented or at least mitigated, along with much folk medicine and simple quackery. There is currently no empirically proven mechanism for preventing hangover except reducing the amount of ethanol consumed, or for making oneself sober short of waiting for the body to metabolize ingested alcohol, which occurs via oxidation through the liver before alcohol leaves the body.

A four page literature review in British Medical Journal on hangover cures by Max Pittler of the Peninsula Medical School at Exeter University and colleagues concludes: "No compelling evidence exists to suggest that any conventional or complementary intervention is effective for preventing or treating alcohol hangover. The most effective way to avoid the symptoms of alcohol induced hangover is to avoid drinking."

Excessive fluid intake prevents dehydration. Which actually causes hangover.

But lots of fluids (not coffee) the next day and some spicy food later on the day always used to work for me. Thank God I don't drink that much anymore. Can't remember what a babbie feels like.:D
 
A friend of mine reckons consuming some reasonably fatty/oily foods the night before helps him out, me I don't drink.

Whats an Irish car bomb?

This...
An Irish Car Bomb is a beer cocktail similar to a boilermaker made with Irish stout, Irish Cream , and Irish whiskey.

The name refers to the drink's Irish ingredients - typically Guinness stout, Baileys Irish Cream, and Jameson Irish Whiskey - and the car bombings notoriously used by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) during the Troubles.

The whiskey is floated on top of the Irish Cream in a shot glass, and the shot glass is then dropped into the stout. Once mixed, the drink must be consumed quickly because it will curdle

Ethanol has a dehydrating effect by causing increased urine production (diuresis), which causes headaches, dry mouth, and lethargy. Dehydration also causes fluids in the brain to be less plentiful. This can be mitigated by drinking water after consumption of alcohol. Alcohol's effect on the stomach lining can account for nausea.

I used to have a russian(lots of salt and vinegar with) before drinking loads of beer with my brother and that also seemed to help some.:D
 
You're all a bunch of noobs. This is the only thing that works.

Before you go to bed, down as many glasses of a sports energy drink as you can. I have a bottle of Energade concentrate in my fridge.

And decide upon enough painkillers to kill you, and then just back it off a little bit.

Brush your teeth and get a good night's rest.

Avoid dehydrating. Period. And that includes replenishing the minerals your body has lost not only the fluids.(powerade) Good idea.:D
 
I don't piss a lot when drinking, so maybe that helps me not getting babalas.

Anyway, at least half a glass of water before sleeping after the heavy drinking, and then a nice oily breaksfast and LOTS of cream soda then next day, tastes great and gets you hydrated, go on try it... cream soda

Must be something wrong with you?:D
 
I remember my earlier years of drinking, would drink to the point just before chundering, sleep, and wake up bright and early... but alas... these days I seem to suffer a little more... However, last night I did polish off 1/2 a bottle of Johnny Walker black label, a few shots of vodka, and a beer.

However, I think building your tolerance, Drinking water/eating(I eat before calling it a night and sleeping... seems to help me), and pace yourself... Never start with shots, those should be in the middle of the drinking session. then as the night begins to come to an end move back to beers.

Also, drinking clever helps. Southern Comfort only has 35%, while Rum, Vodka, Whiskey etc have 43%. So rather ask for a double Soco Lime when your mates want to drink cocktails etc... they'll think you drinking more then you actually are. Also, go for hunters gold over hunters dry if you plan to have a long drinking session. Dry=5.5%, Gold= 4.5% (this makes a difference :) ).

As for waking up in the morning, well, just get your ass out of bed, have a headache pill and a valoid (if you feeling fragile) and have a good solid breakfast... A week ago I got completely smashed with a mate (he's going to Stellenbosch to study). I couldn't remember what happened after the 10th shot, and woke up on a couch (we played a game where you take a shot to every rule on zombie land, and double tap is a double shot ;) ). Woke up feeling worse off then ever before :eek:, but yeah, I managed to keep my breakfast down, and felt worlds better in 30minutes :p.
