Hangover cure

I can totally reccommend the following:

Before you sink into unconsciousness the night before, drink at least a pint of water. Obviously this won't help now, but next time... Then in the morning, take Alka Seltzer XS, not only because it contains paracetamol to aid the pain, but it will buffer the acidity in your stomach and has caffeine in it to make ...[text shortened]... ws. Then have an afternoon nap and eat when you wake up. You should feel a lot better by then.

There are no pills to get rid of a hangover, but there are pills that stop you ever having one.

You take one pill every two or three beers and they basically absorb the alcohol.
I believe they were created by the KGB.

I reckon e ...[text shortened]... eers will have the same effect. Not good for the arteries though.

Well done everyone! My inner demons have subsided and I'm back in the land of the living. Shavixmir- Thanks for the scientific explanation of just what was really happening to me. Respect man!
It was a greasy Egg and Bacon roll that got through in the end.
Now, anyone for a drink? My shout!

Simple, treat the cause instead of the symptom. Don't over indulge.

I always have an ice cold glass of milk. Down in one and a chocolate biscuit to replace all those lost vitamins and carbohydrate for an energy BOOST. As Starmann said though, a pint or two of water before you get your head down makes a huge difference. Helps to clears all the toxins out of your body and rehydrates you.

Water. Yep, definitely.

Coffee will make it worse. In fact, everything will make it worse.

Except water. Preferably distilled or deionized. Always keep a bottle handy.

(Of water, that is.)

Or Ibuprofen tablets.

First thing - if you feel sick, don't fight it. Release the poison - vomit. Now, with a completely empty stomach, you need to fill it. Bacon, sausages, eggs, beans and toast/fried bread. And a big mug of steaming hot tea.

Works like a charm.

water and exercise seems to help me, running or anything cardio to help sweat it out, then more water and a nice shower followed by food and citrus liquids

So, Seraphimvulture, pray tell....what does coffee do to elimante hangovers then??

I do, personally, like a very strong espresso if I have a hangover. It gets the disgusting taste of alcohol out of my mouth.
But, that is about it.

Water helps with the dehydration and helps flush toxins out. Caffeine is a painkiller but it dehydrates you more.

Bread and crackers and the like were what people used when I was in college.

Excercise! This is completly out of the question after a big one. Are you trying to kill me? Turning on the Telly (on mute) is as far as the body should go.
