OT - Hangover Cures

Active prevention before you start drinking is as if not more valuable than what you do when you are done drinking. At least from my experience that seems to be the case. Have a full stomach when you go out.

OK, finally get to use some of the skills I learned in school. Night before, put a multivitamin and a couple ibuprofen in your pocket (for people like me who never actually make it back home!) down these with tons of water before you go to sleep. Sleep for as long as you can possibly handle, and then a little bit more. After you get up take another round of vitamin and ibuprofen with (again ) tons of water. Immediately proceed to a greasy breakfast joint, I prefer a local greasy-spoon, but a chain like Waffle House will suffice. It is important to consume enough greasy food to a) have a "purging"* effect of the impurities from the night before within 30 min after you leave and b)so that after the meal you can no longer stay awake and are forced to take a 2-3 hr nap. You will awake feeling pretty well despite the night before and will now to ready to take a shower and do it all over again! This method is quite simple and carried me through college. * note: purging needs to be of the squatting variety, not the kneeling, if this occurs process must be repeated.

While I personally don't partake in such things I have heard that a lil morning smoke can cure many a hangover. Greasy food helps me tho or something to get adrenaline going like running, playing a sport, or throwing up

Wake up and tap out (again) the beast lying next to you that you took home the night before. That usually cures it for me.

Step 1: stay in bed or move to a horizontal position on the couch Step 2: hit a bowl or two Step 3: down gatorade, water, or pickle juice (tons of sodium and electrolytes to hold in water) Step 4: watch uninterupted DVR'd programming (commercials make me angry when I'm hungover) while downing a pint of ice cream to replace lost sugars, and order mexican food because I'm too lazy to move Step 5: repeat as necessary I attempt to never schedule important events after days I know will induce a hangover (like this weekend).

Banana + Multivitamin + Cup of Coffee (something about the caffeine helps) + Long shower + Water Painkillers optional

I agree with many of the sentiments above, namely that dehydration, deficiency of B-vitamins, etc. are the cause of the hangover, along with alcohol affecting REM sleep- but I'm also of the belief that a hangover is also caused by alcohol withdrawal. Hence, perhaps in addition to everything above, a bloody mary might not be a bad idea. For other ideas, check out the intranets: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangover_cure#Possible_remedies

send you a thrashing of Ohio State, an old school beat down of Sparty, and an eviceration of Notre Dame in Brian Kelly's debut in the rivalry. I don't know if it would take your hangover away, but it would be a decent tonic for our general Michigan football malaise.

at least 3 ibuprofen before you crash. If nausea and headache persist in the morning anyway. A chocolate frosty from Wendy's will soothe the sour stomach. If that's not available a chocolate shake from MC Ds will help. For the headache, lots of advil and sacking out on the coach with a Michigan football videos.

Although the best way to kick your hangover is to drink more.

oops wrong remedy.

Burger King Double Cheese burger meal King Size did the trick when I was in college.

If you're trying to go to sleep while drunk, do not take an ambien. From personal experiences, it only makes things worse.

I think I saw a hangover cures episode on Food Network or something. Hair of the dog works temporarily because technically a hangover is your body going through withdrawal from some of the chemicals in alcohol, along with your body trying to process / flush them out. So drinking again essentially delays withdrawal. My perspective is that if you have time, I think going the hair of the dog route can spread things out and decrease the intensity of the hangover a bit.

1997 UM vs. OSU 2004 UM vs. MSU 2005 UM vs. PSU That's been helping me get over the hangover of the past two football seasons. Oh, you meant alcohol?

Just make sure you wake up drunk. I've never had a hangover if I woke up drunk.

Also, caffeine + Tylenol = bad All of the above chemicals are metabolized in the liver. When used in combination, they can lead to acute liver damage. As has been mentioned, drink water both before going to bed and after getting up, since the hangover is partially dehydration. Make sure to eat something that is easily metabolized first, then go on to a larger meal once you can get food down.

Dont add water tho, Add beer instead.

I've heard good things about this. It seems pretty easy to use. http://shoppingpr0n.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/headon.jpg

I would prefer to go with beer and a BJ. Mostly I've had to settle for beer. (Damn wife!!!)

Shave your belly with a rusty razor, wey hey and up she rises

Chug it, it works.

Here is a recipe for oral rehydration solution, which is primarily used for kids with diarrhea. It is also one hell of a hangover cure [EDIT: This is basically the same as Pedialyte, but cheaper]

as previously stated in the thread I like the copious amounts of water plus the alka seltzer prior to sleep, then after waking in the morning burnt toast, pedialyte and a banana.

Stick to the four W's my man: 1) Water 2) Weed 3) Women 4) Wendy's
