hangover remidies

[gunna musta]

what are peoples hangover remidies.
what have you tried what have you heard of.
what works for you?????:drink:

[Walt]

Well i believe that the only TRUE cure is to get back on it. Sure, that first beer is going to be the slowest beer ever, but once youve had that one, you fell a hell of alot better.

But if your not that type, i just find plenty of water or gatorade. A feed of bacon, sausages and eggs is also an optional extra, depending on how good you feel.

[griz]

Large quarter pounder value meal.... Works every time.

[TexGQ]

Walt summed it up, bit of black sabbath in the background and youll be fine

[3F62]

Lots of water before bed followed in the morning by copious amounts of GREEEASE............

Yes that is a fantastic remedey, a bit hard though if your camping. :cry:

[NissanNutter]

oysters and egg yolks in a blenda with 1/2 litre of tomatoe juice.

Full of vitamins!!

lol i guess they go hand in hand:thumb: , sorry i dont have any real hangover cures except don't get sober :drink:

[Trojan]

Sober up slightly before sleeping, instead of that last beer, have a water instead. Get your water intake up before sleeping. Followed by water when you wake up, even having some next to you to drink if you wake up during the night/morning.

A hangover is mostly caused by dehydration. You'll wake up fairly good, whilst your mates are all messed up. Perfect oppurtunity to bug the crap out of them.

[deano180]

mate of mine reckons red cordial before he goes to bed does the trick for him,
straigh outta the bottle no water.
never needed a remedy cos i am lucky enough to not suffer the next day,i wake up as good as new.

[Davo1]

500 mls of fluid via an intravenous drip works a treat once you wake up!! Lucky for me & my mates that we're all paramedics!

[GippsSurfer]

A mate once told me he always has a choc milkshake... tried it once, but it didnt work for me...

I find that empting the contents of the stomach followed by lots of water helps!

[Coupland]

2L of water before you hit the piss - no hangover come morning but lots of trips to the dunny

[Marc 1]

2L of water before you hit the piss - no hangover come morning but lots of trips to the dunny

Right idea - wrong time. I'm with Trojan, a mate of mine and I would stick a 2l bottle of water each in the fridge before getting on the turps. Before going to bed we made sure we sculled the bloody thing - jeez it gave the kidneys a workout though, but all good by morning.:waycool:

[crawla]

sleep, sleep and more sleep with a heap of water before bed (I never remember the water).

If I'm desperate I'll sit under the sprinkler or have a snooze in the shower with the water running over me:D I'll sip on water all day though

Try drinking 2l before you start hitting the piss Marc 1, you will be surprised.

*disclaimer - if this does not work then you did not follow the instructions correctly or consume enough water. You will know this by the throbbing pain in your head...:D

[subi_man]

Lemonade icy-poles :thumb:

[Mur]

any of the sports drinks...

this is what works for me, make sure you eat well before you strart drinking, and eat something before you go to bed

[cruiseryobbo]

Okay first add 2-3 Sausages with 2Eggs and large quantities of bacon now mix that all in with some buttered rolls and anyother fatty breakfast foods you can with a cup of coffee this equeals your cure

[Josho]

haha ive heard that is the best way! a mates mrs is a nurse so might look into getting her to bring the drip with her when we go away :P

Oh good, an excuse to give to the missus "Sorry, I've been getting pissed in the name of science" :D

[Tired Triton]

Stay drunk!

[bendobinson]

A pie from BP and a lemon lime powerade

[Coupland]

eight cans down so far in the name of science. The beer googles are taken effect while watching Kath and Kim. Must look away...

[Charlie W]

1L of apple juice before i go to bed or first thing when i wake up, i absolutely swear by this!!!

[window]

berocca before and after bed, and eggs benedidct with extra sauce.

[mick85]

intake of water and sugar before sleep.

[nate]

good old sausage roll and gatorade from the servo on the way home. :P
usally i wake up feeling not to bad, i drink gatorade or green cordial( a week batch) and then some kfc or maccas..and if im feeling pretty normal ill get some subway

or if im camping just keep on drinking :D

[lewi]

One thing I have tried and has worked everytime... have a pint of water with barocca and 2 pain killers before you go to bed.

A mate a my self drank a bottle of tequilla and a few scotches a few weeks back, told him to do the same and both woke up 100% ok

[Chyzinkoph]

half a cup of water, juice of one lemon, one chilly finely chopped, one teaspoon of salt.

Combine all the ingredients, stir well, and sip....do not skull..... if this drink doesn't make you feel better, it'll definitley take your mind of the headache!!

....and pleanty of water to rehydrate of course!!!

[Risto]

Easy - stay drunk!

On a more 'serious' note, any sports drink, which can hydrate your body fater than mere water is the go. Followed by bananas - lots of potassium, which seems to work.

A good fry-up breakfast is a close third. Eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, toast... The only problem is that this lot hardly rehydrates! But it feels pretty good... ;-)

[4wd WA]

i always have a glass of water and a spoon of vegimite before i go to bed. Dont ask me how it works, but it does. The good old vegimite always comes to the rescue.

[Baldricks_Mate]

I stopped drinking cos I couldn't handle the hangovers...

So my "cures" never developed past V8 Juice and lots of it.

[Marc 1]

i always have a glass of water and a spoon of vegimite before i go to bed. Dont ask me how it works, but it does. The good old vegimite always comes to the rescue.

Vegemite = vitamin B, so you've got natures Berrocca there.

[Tri_Lon]

when camping, or if at a party or something, just another couple beers in the morning and it helps.
Water/cordial/gatorade before going out, while drinking and before going to bed helps.

If too drunk to do any of that, sleep is good.

[wesdabeersat]

at home double quater pounder meal mmm. sometimes the wait till 10.30 is a killer so i buy some burgers that night and throw them in the microwave wen i get up. or wake up at sparrows wen your still half cut and have a walk in the sun with lots of water or 600ml coke. or wen out bush go for a drive with the head out the window normally freshens me up

[jonamaphone]

2 or 3 gatorades/powerades. depending on how much shrapnel i have in the ashtray

gatorade/powerade hydrates you better than water

[KRUZIN]

had some mates that would eat beroccas raw...eg no water just chew & swallow.

i tried it once,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,once stomach empty from spewin i did feel better.

bacon & egg burger is my all time favourite............................mind you my dog has eaten pretty well some saturday mornings...:D:D:D


got dragged out riding a couple of times,,,,,,,,, barely able to walk---------

punch a gatorade or similar into you & a couple of hrs sweating into motorcross gear will sweat any hangover straight out of anyone........

[FourXfouR]

I rarely get hang-overs but If I do have a little more than usual I like a fatty breakfast like bacon & eggs. If I have had WAY too much and cant stomach food at first. I'll have a few glasses of icy cold orange juice. After that I'll sip on water until I can stomach my bacon and eggs!

I always have at least 1 glass of water before bed. Another thing I MUST do is brush my teeth before bed and as soon as I wake up. Gets rid of that cats arse taste you usually get

[Walt]

Years and Years of practice, and years and years of bad mornings, have now got me to the stage i am at now, drink fit, they dont hit me like they used to when i was in highschool, so i aint stopping now and letting all that hard work go to waste.

[Marc 1]

Gets rid of that cats arse taste you usually get

Someone's gotta ask - how do you know what the exhaust end of a cat tastes like?:confused: . Nah, second thoughts, I don't want to know... (LOL)

[Muckinhell]

I take a beutifull little tablet you can get across the counter at chemist. Most women use it for extreme monthly pains or back pain. Its called mysendol. Can get it in night strangth for a great sleep or day strength. Take one before bed and expect the best sleep ever and no pain next day or just a day strength if your needingto get up etc next day but no pain usually for me. I only use them for this wich is rare and work a treat.

If usin for the first few times you may find you have a good long sleep. im now only getting few good hours out of them now so usually take it when your up for the daybreak bladder empty then get good sleep till 9 ish or so.

[Baldricks_Mate]

Sorry to do this guys but I reckon some one has to post this info up. Info is courtesy of my Daughter doing Med Science at Uni and a few of her text books. Be careful of painkillers as a part of a hangover cure.

Your liver and other parts of your body has to process the alcohol you drink and the "cure" drugs you take and its already way overloaded doing the alcohol processing as it is. The "big unkowns" are the mixing of alcohol and painkillers on pre existing unknown and untreated medical conditions, variable dosage and ratio rates of painkillers to alcohol at the time of taking and the depressed stage of mental function of the brain while under the influence of alcohol.

Codeine - inceases or multiplies the effects of other sedatives (like Doxylamine Succinate in Mersyndol) including alcohol (which is a depressant). Common side effects are nausea, drowsiness and constipation. Unusual side effects are dizziness and vomiting.

Where the problem lies using anything with Codiene in in as a part of a hangover "cure" is the completely unknown ratio of alcohol to Codeine and the effects of this on your body and this ratio will vary from persdon to person, minute by minute, depending on the BAC and Codeine dosage at the time.

It could have no discernable effect on you and kill your mate, or maybe the other way round or maybe not this time but next time your heart rate might just slow down and then finally stop. Not good if you miles from anywhere in the scrub. Please DONT do it!

Paracetamol - An analgesic. Interacts with other drugs like narcotics & anti depressants. Overdose or incorrect usage can cause/contribute to liver failure, jaundice, vomitting, stomach pain, sweating and delayed death (some days/weeks later) in large amounts or incorrect usage causing interactions.

Asprin - Analgesic, reduces blood clotting, has anti inflamatory effects. Common side effects are gut irritation (great, a stomach traumatised by heaps of alcohol will like that), heartburn, nausea. Unusual side effects are vomitting, blood in faeces, aggravation of asthma,hay fever, ring in the ears (tinitus). Severe side effects are sudden onset asthma attacks and unusual bleeding. Can interact and multiply the effects of other drugs. Reacts adversly with alcohol. Once again the interactions with alcohol are irregular, inconsistent and variable dependent on BAC and the individual person and can change without notice.

Ibuprofen - Chemically related to Asprin has similar side effects and interactions.

Other drugs - Alcohol reacts widely with other drugs prodcing some wide ranging side effects. These drugs can be flu injections, hayfever medications, anti depressants, cough mixtures, heart regulation drugs and so on for both precription and over the counter supply.

Common pain medications and strengths:

Mersyndol - 9.75mg Codeine, 450mg Paracetamol AND 5mg Doxylamine Succinate.
Pandeine - 500mg Paracetamol, 8mg Codeine Phosphate.
Panadeine Forte - 500mg paracetamol, 30mg Codeine Phosphate.
Nurofen - 200mg Iboprofen.
Nurofen Plus - 200mg Ibofrofen, 12.8mg Codeine Phosphate.
Aspirin - 300mg Aspirin.
Dispirin Forte - 300mg Aspirin, 10mg Codeine Phosphate.

The closest to a hangover cure (according) to the Med Science at Uni people is to eat some plain bread before sleeping at the end of the session, to absorb and slow down the alcohol absorption to prevent a BAC spike post-drinking. Drink water before beginning, have water at intervals throughout the night. The next moring drink more fluids but stay away from acidic drinks like juices as the stomach lining is already irritated. Refrain from pain killers, avoid bright lights and rest quietly until recovered.

[no eye deer]

Broccoli and onions fried in sesame oil at a high temp. Add salt and pepper,tabasco sauce. MMMMMMMMM
Think I'll have a beer........

[Josho]

if your up in the mountains/hills somewhere. get yourself to the closest river and jump in the bastard! (works best in colder months)
that will get ya up and running and forgetting the hangover :D

[jacques]

easy! dont drink:D only deadset way i know off not to get hungover unless you are one of us privledged few that dont get hungover:waycool: .
find a drink that treats u nice. my mate can drink beer and not get hungover, but if he touches a spirit he wakes up sick as a dog. i on the other hand cant touch beer makes me sick, but i can drink captain morgan rum and not feel a thing in the morning.

hair of dog does it for most, (dont indulkge in this meself)

lots of water!

personal favourite wake up nice and early, around the 5am mark and go for a run or swim, and plenty of water. u will feel good and you will be doing your body a favour after the abuse u gave it:thumb:

[FourXfouR]

Someone's gotta ask - how do you know what the exhaust end of a cat tastes like?:confused: . Nah, second thoughts, I don't want to know... (LOL)


Haha, im kinda guessing if someone happened to taste one, it would be similar to that bad taste ya get after a night on the turps. Assumption only lol

Although, the bad taste is alot better now that I dont smoke anymore

[patroler]

I don't get a hangover if i just drink 'Coronas', any other beer and i am stuffed.
Although the Corona thing doesn't work if i am shitfaced and start drinking rum.
I really think it is the bloody sambooca shots that do it to you. A bottle of that shit always appears at the end of the night.

[Davage]

Dont stop drinking!!!!

Failing that BBQ for breakfast, bacon and snags!!!

Im thirsty and hungry now:drink:

[skooter]

Get up and doing something is the best, it's hard to do at first but it gets things working a treat plus plenty of water before and after sleep. Works the best!
