To avoid hangovers, the best cure is ....... don't drink :)

Yeah, whenever someone at work complains about a hangover, I politely remind them that if they weren't stupid enough to get drunk, they wouldn't have a problem. That stops the whining real fast.
 
The main cause of hangovers are lack of sleep and dehydration (except of course for the main, main reason...drinking in the first place).....have a few re-hydrates, you can get then from any chemist. Don't just drink tons of water you can end up with hyper-hydration, where you end up flushing all your electrolytes away.

Oh and some grandpa painkillers.

We've had masochists with hangovers arrive at orchestra before. I play the trumpet. Loudly. :-P
 
Vanilla ice cream or milkshakes ALWAYS works for me..plus another trick it is to drink a carpload of water before you sleep...too late for that now tho

Yeah the water thing works. Just don't do it if you are really vrot faced else you'll end up wetting the bed :)
 
Well, that went better than expected. Now I have to wash my bed, the curtains and the floor. Oh joy. And I'll probably never be able to showmy face in the club again. My friends say the bouncer removed me and said that it wasn't a gay club. The bad thing? I can't remember a thing of it.

Consider yourself very lucky. I can list a whole array of bad situations you can get into whilst drunk, some of them even deadly. Last person I know of here in Durban was so sloshed he thought he could fly and jump off of a 15ft high wall and shattered his ankle hehe. A little bit of embarresment is nothing :P
 
BIG +1 for drinking water before sleeping

Also try and eat a full english breakfast (fried), best cure IMO, if you can't, try and just get fried eggs and toast, even a breakfast burger helps

It only stops the whining because they immediately want to cease all communications with an idiot. ;)
 
Well, at least I didn't get up to stuff like in The Hangover.

Now I've got some more drinking stories to tell, if I can survive this horrible feeling in my stomach.
 
I get depressed if I'm depressed beforehand.

Likewise for any emotion - so I try not to drink too much when angry

After having many hangovers and having the same symptoms of major anxiety and depression I'm of the conclusion that while initially consuming alcohol is relaxing, there comes a point where a lot of problems that one has starts showing. I was diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder quite a few years ago and when I get a hangover, its as if the symptoms are 100% worse. Make no mistake, a drink or two is ok, but if you over do it, especially if you have a mental or psychological condition, its going to magnify it big time. I generally avoid major hangovers because it feels like my brain is racing and a thousand miles an hour and un-controllable.

I cannot touch weed or any form of drug. I tried it once and let me say it was terrifying. Two drags of weed and it felt like someone poured a liter of acid into my brain. Very scary. I strongly advise against substance or alcohol abuse if you have a pre-existing mental condition. The only time I can smoke a cigarrete is after a beer or two. I cannot smoke a cigarrette first thing in the morning, if I do I'm a wreck for the rest of the day. The added stimulant so early has often brought on a panick attack in the morning and I've learned the hard way to avoid any kind of nervous stimulant. Cofee is about the farthest I can go. I know I'm not alone here, there's loads of people on this forum who have similiar issues.
