Your Go-To Hangover Cure

[User#6517]

Whether it’s food, drinks, meds, etc.. what is your go-to method for getting rid of a hangover?

And what is your alcohol tolerance like?

I haven’t had a drink in a while, so I’m living vicariously through you guys.

Ok, this is one of the reasons I avoid drinking alcohol. After more than a few drinks, I basically have to spend the whole of next day in bed.

For recovery, i eat bananas + drink heaps of water. I figured it's good to replace electrolytes ive pissed out. Nothing beats time of course.

Sleep? Lol
I usually dont have a hangover. Feel a bit weak the day after but that can also be because of sleep shortage.
Never really sick the day after.

But my alcohol tolerance is quite low. Not a problem for me, i get the rush without spending a ton of money.

I don’t really drink any alcohol anymore either but I always thought that drinking plenty of water in between each drink, actually helps to prevent a hangover. Not 100% but I felt much better than compared to no water.

Taking a niacin tablet before go to bed (if still conscious) and having a 20-minute foot bath after waking up. My alcohol tolerance is lower than average but I like red wine.

Drinking lots of water and pain killers both before going to sleep and immediately after waking up. Having hang over sex in the morning of course helps too.

From a medical perspective, the physical effects are mostly due to dehydration, depressed blood sugar (a side effect of alcohol), and an electrolyte imbalance.

A bottle of Aquarius or Pocari Sweat and some salty food will go a long way towards helping you feel better. I used to swear by a curry rice and a bottle of Pocari and used to actually have both ready in the fridge if I knew I was going out for a heavy night.

I've also been recently drinking occasionally and 1-2 glasses at a time. Not so much. I buy one Ukon no Chikara afterwards. Also drinking water helps to get the hydration back.

Before going to sleep take a multi vitamin and drink pocari or similar... Helps hydrate and replenish lost vitamin alcohol depleted... Then better chance no hangover... But if u wake up with one... Bloody Mary's usually work for me....

More booze or McDonald's. I don't usually get hangovers though. My last hangover was after drinking about three bottles of wine and a considerable amount of whisky, which I don't normally drink.

Two bottles of wine would be my go-to amount of booze. Three if I want to get drunk.

That's... a lot.

Three bottles of wine is equivalent to about a fifth of whiskey. If I drink that much I don't have to worry about a hangover in the morning because I'll still be smashed when I wake up.

I usually don't get hungover at all, despite sometimes drinking to the point where I can't stand up. For me the secret (not really a secret) is to stay hydrated and stick to hard liqour only (whisky for me). I have a relatively high tolerance.

When I do feel crappy, I like a bowl of good ramen and some Gatorade.

Pocari sweat makes my teeth feel goopy

The temptation to make a joke about that is nearly irresistable....

Eating a bowl of ramen (the real stuff, not instant) before going to bad. Bad for your diet, but it'll dilute all the alcohol in your system.

 

[Coda87]

I drink Gatorade before going to bed after drinking. I wish I could find Aquarius easily where I live. But any kind of sports drink would work.

I like to drink a lot and usually have no hangover but if there is something like that, 3 things that help me next day:

1. Chicken bullion or some salty ramen or tomato juice.
2. Running, jogging and all kinds of physical exercises.
3. Of course drinking a lot of water.

2. Running, jogging and all kinds of physical exercises.

If you can go for a run in the morning then no, you didn't have a hangover to begin with.

Hangover is when you wake up in the morning and immediately regret not dying during your sleep.

I see your point but surprisingly when I force myself to run in that state the things get much more better afterwords. So I am dying but kicking my ass and push myself to run or do some other physical exercises.

water
sex
ramen
hair of the dog

sets you up nicely for the rest of the day

 

[Kaspar]

Hot water and running, it always works.

 

[DireWolf98]

Wine and craft beer are my favorite choices.

I try to drink water while drinking.

If I have an actual hangover, I drink water and take three 200 mg ibuprofen gel caps.

I can understand drinking water before sleeping (though i'd have to pee at night then) or when waking up (solid). But if you drink water during drinking, doesn't it prevent you from getting drunk?
If i want to get drunk, i dont eat dinner and don't drink anything else and drink in a high phase.

It must be fun having you at a drinking party!
Girls are so cool when they are actually looking to get drunk.

I'm not a fan of the taste of alcohol so if i drink its either because other people are doing it or because i want to get smashed.
