Re: Hangover cures
I think that drinking plenty of water before going to bed helps. I've used n-acetyl cysteine capsules, which seem to reduce the after effects, possibly also vitamin c.
Those of course are preventatives, albeit not as effective as a degree of abstinence...
If you get a hangover, more fluid and rehydration sachets perhaps, but it's in the lap of the gods. If I wake up slightly groggy and function at half speed, it will improve over time no matter what I do. These days I don't get proper hangovers because I don't drink as much as I once did.

Re: Hangover cures
A glass of fresh orange juice before retiring (collapsing!)followed by lots of water. Better still a class of water between each alcoholic drink.
You could , of course, always try Jo Grundies famous hangover cure

Re: Hangover cures
Full sugar coke or lucozade followed by gallons of water and something stodgy to soak up the booze . Failing that , hair of the dog ??

If you do the crime - you have to do the time...…!
Nothing works really - you have to wait for a good night's sleep on the day of said hangover.

Re: Hangover cures
i drink plenty of water during and after, if partying, otherwise i don't drink that much - not that i've ever had a hangover (- even before getting to a more sensible age).
i read somewhere recently that alcohol gets metabolised before food when drunk with a meal so eating something for a hangover is unlikely to do anything.

Re: Hangover cures
Hair of the dog and a Full English - for a "half dead" fuzzy sleepy hungry hangover. 2 aspirins or plink plink fizz for a headache one.
Q: Why do boozy nights make one ultra hungry next morning, even if having eaten normally? Maybe tummy is craving something else to work on that isn't booze?

Re: Hangover cures
The very thought of haggis and eggs, French toast or crumpets would make me want to throw.
Mine´s the hair of the dog - a really cold beer.
Mind you, the Mexican Michelada is also very effective - as I discovered on my last trip to México!

Re: Hangover cures
A thread that has made my dust of my login.
Mainly because I am heading into manchester at 1.30pm from work to see an old work pal before sloping off at 7 for a 40th. Because of this I may be a tad groggy tomorrow.
My cure. Wake up after 5 hours rubbish sleep. A glass of full fat coke, a banana and a pint of water. Then enter into what I call the "nap zone" an hour of 10 minute micro snoozes.
P.s. Hello all!

Re: Hangover cures
Hi WFF - good to hear from you. Hope you enjoy your night out and don't need too much of a cure tomorrow!
I don't drink to excess these days but when I was younger, I found that while they didn't cure the hangover, cold pizza, curry, chips or kebab along with full-fat coke made me feel a bit better.

Am amazed that no one has mentioned Irn Bru....I haven’t tried it but all the younger ones swear by it.

Re: Hangover cures
Well today has not been as bad as expected.
The age old cure sorted me out. A large big mac meal and full fat coke from McDonalds. It's a rare occasion that I turn to the big yellow M for support. But today was one of those days.
Back on the horse now as I am going to (and I cant believe I am saying this) a Xmas party at friends tonight as they are going away till January.

Re: Hangover cures
It's obviously fine to go to a Christmas party as there is a house up the road with outdoor decorations flashing away.
Already.
Already.

Noticed yesterday that a guy near me was putting final touches to his annual display. It can probably be seen from space.
Re: Hangover cures
Hi WFF! So good to hear from you again! Have fun at the party tonight!
I haven't done the Christmas markets in Manchester this year.

Re: Hangover cures
............... and no-one's mentioned the chuddy cure either.
Chewing gum.
I've tried it once over a decade ago, and it worked. Gets the gastric juices flowing.
My overdrinking days are no more, but I do sometimes have a dodgy reaction that I need to deal with.
I'm a bit light weight.
