I have a hangover... help!
 

Well, I drank too much last night... Had a good time, and somehow only paid for one drink. Well, about 8 shots, 5 double crown and cokes, a couple of "puffs" and a beer later, I was 3 sheets to the wind. Now I am paying for it. I can barely type, and my oj tastes like al foil...

Any suggestions? I am eating a cheese sandwich, and I took some aleeve earlier. Not my first hangover, but they seem to last longer now that I am getting older...

Since I know that most of you guys drink or used too, what "home remedies" do you have?

Eat some greasy hashbrowns...always seems to help me out.

Sausage and eggs that are good and greasy! Nothing better than kneeling down and hugging the porcelain God.:lol:

Having another drink usually helped me back when I was a boozer, and that was a looong time ago. I dont mis that part of my life one bit.

Here in Bavaria, the "Gegenhalbe" is very popular. It means if you are feeling very bad because of too much alcohol, just drink another beer and you will feel better immediately :great:

Drink lots of water to get rid of the dehydration. Also take a good multivitamin to get the minerals and nutrients back in your system.

I go with a drink of Powerade and eat a Mega size Moro bar........could do that daily really, lol, rehydrate and add some energy.

This sounds about right. Drink lots of water. If you stay hydrated it is really good for your body. If you drink a lot of water and get lots of sleep you'll never get sick. I haven't been sick for 2 years. I'm sure those things would help with a hangover.

Red Bull and sourdough bread/toast (water too!).

Yes I am going to be 33 soon and my hangovers are much worse than ever. Funny, I will wake up in the morning and feel fine, as the day goes on into the afternoon I start to get increasingly worse. The hangover headache you always get in the back of your neck is always due to dehydration.

Not really a hangover specific cure, but take some nyquil and sleep it off.

This is only for future reference......less drink, more smoke.....

Hangover is dehydration. Imagine your brain when you feel good, all plump floating in a nice layer of fluid. Now imagine your brain as a dried up prune sitting in an empty container. Now the only thing that will help is water. The bad part, at least for me is right after the flood of water my head hurts worse before it gets better, but it gets better much faster. Eggs usually help it along, also even if you hate it and don't feel like you need to, PUKE. It will help.

Wish the grean was legal and alcohol was not.

Drink water, and maybe a beer. It helps. I know its not the best, but it works. My buddy, a medic, recommends Pedia-lite. You know, the stuff they give to little kids to help them hydrate, swears by it.

So if you have some of that around, go for it.

+++1 for drinking lots of water. Eating helped me too. advil might be better for headaches than aleve.

I seldom drink that much anymore to avoid days like linc is having.....as stated above, a greasy breakfast, powerade and sleep.

Good job though paying for only one drink! It is bad enough w/a hangover, but when most people drink that much, their wallet is the second thing that hurts!

greasy food, and another "puff"

^^ yes make that a few more puffs and you will be set, no better medicine as far as im concerned.

I consider myself very lucky in that i dont get hangovers for some reason, one night last year i had at least 17 beers + lots of "puff"s and no hangover.

Puff puff pass...

lol i got hangovers when i was 18-25 then after that magic happened and i hardly ever have a hangover anymore, i'm 27 now. with no real life changes, go figure, works for me

I just try to drink less but that is easier said than done sometimes. The old saying "lets go out for just one" never really works for me...

I've been waiting for smoething like this. I figured it was just a matter of time before linc got wrapped up in Mardi gra and got wasted! Hope you had a good time! drink lots of water and go back to bed!

Dont drink is the best cure.Salad is the way to go.

best defense is a good offense. stay drunk = no hangover :)

mineral water is the simplest. if you have just regular water then get some chicken/beef broth

next time before you pass out / go to sleep drink at least two big glasses of water

All great info guys! I drank some water and OJ, and managed to get to sleep after I posted this thread. Wifey got some pizza from the PAPA and I had a slice of that. I also found out that I was a little "friendly" with a buddy of mine's sister... I really do not remember much of the later part of the night, no harm no foul I guess.

I did not realize the back of the head/neck pain was due to dehydration. I had a little cure when I was full on drinking in my college days, just remembered it. I used to get a 20oz glass of lukewarm tap water and throw a few alka-seltzer in it. I would drink that before going to bed, and feel fine the next day.

I also did not drink any water at the bar last night, and i usually try to end the night with a few glasses before I go home. I only live about 1 mile from the bar area, but I usually drive so I try to stop ahead of time and drink water. Not last night, the bar owner was feeding me crown and coke like he had a surplus, and we were all taking shots too...

Funny thing is i did not even feel like going out last night, but I guess I had a good time when I got out there...

Thanks forthe tips fellas, I will be giving pedialite a try. I find if I drink too much water the next morning I just end up tossing my cookies....

I use EmergenC or Airborne. Taking one before drinking works best, but afterwards will work too. Works like alka seltzer but you get a ton of B vitamins too.

I drink those daily at work. I think they are pretty good. I will be going to work later, so I will have to knock one back!

In addition to rehydrating, I'm suprised no one mentioned spices. Hot pepper's and such will help your body release some kind of endorphines that will help you feel better. My post drunk breakfast was always bisquits and gravy smothered in tobasco sauce.

We need pics of your buddies sister.:intello:

lol

Wow Rick, looks like your diet is working, however I think you looked better as a brunette. The platinum blonde hair just does not go with your skin tone...

Check out this pick that Rick took on vacation, I think you guys will agree with me!

in the past I have taken advil before passing out....it helped to mellow out the headache before you get it

If that's really your buddies' sister I can see why you may have been a little "friendly". The other girls are kinda hot too. btw maybe the neck pain's from all those lipos you were putting together.

Yup thats her. I would not post a misleading pic of chics. That is too low even for me.

I am a bit worn out, the lipo deal is definately running me ragged.

Linc, you've got g(. )( .)d taste in women! :yes: :lol: How's that hangover doin'?

Thanks, I only hang out with attractive ladies...

The hangover is down too the "just got run over by a bus" feeling. But the headache is gone, and I feel much better...

It is more than dehydration it is also a build up of acetaldehyde which is a meatbolite of ethanol. You have to hydrate and eliminate the acetaldehyde. Chemicals which increase liver function such as Milk Thistle (silymarin) will help. The best thing to do is hydrate before you go out.

WHAT??? Are you drunk? :lol:

airborn. I take some every monday and wednesday for my 8am class....takes the pain off the stomach. but if you get SHIT FACED....your not gonna stop the puking:lol:

James, you might have to introduce me to her sometime. :whistle:
