Hangover cures?

Texas Beta · #1 12-07-2006, 06:58 PM

A huge gallon of sangria sounded like a good idea, now I realize it's not. I have a horrible hang over.

What are your hang over cures?

There is this bar where I live that's a couple blocks away and serves good bloody mary's.

Carne Asada burritos from the greasiest taco shop you can find. Or at least, a good tortilla and some water.

Bloody marys are good if you want the shits.

I found that drinking Pedialyte is good for really bad hangovers. They give em to children to rehydrate them, but I drank it once and felt like a new person.

There's times when I wish I could just give myself a good IV, though.

I hear it works as well, but those give you the shits too.

I'm surprised not more people have said breakfast tacos. We have this place named Juan in a Million, and they have a taco called the Don Juan. The things a monster, i'd say four or five tacos into one. Well I had one of those, but my hangover is still pretty bad.

I would think that bananas would be constipating, not diarrhea causing?

Pedialyte was standard in our college apartment. If I can't get som pedialyte, its gatordae or propel (depending on the extent of the hangover). That washes down the 3 or so advil.

Before the night ends, cheese fries or taylor ham, egg, and cheese on a hard roll from the diner. Along with a big glass of ginger ale.

My best friend and I have had some crazy crazy nights, but I've never once been hungover. I'm a pretty heavy drinker too, especially for my little size. My friend and I alway ALWAYS drink one glass of water per shot.
8 shots= 8 glasses of water
It's either so much water that you throw up or it rehydrates you. Either way you feel fine the next day.

One of my friend swears by a few handful of peanuts(the regular kind in a can, not honey roasted) in the morning. I've seen her gone from hungover to perky in a matter of minutes with this.

I, on the other hand, use a hangover as an excuse to stay in bed and ignore people.

A Phenergan, a bottle of gatorade, and some sleep. Works every time for me.

I'm the same way...though if it's a particularly rough night, I substitute "couch" for "bed".

I'm drinking some right now.

The office Christmas Party was last night and it was a good one.

If I'm aware enough to do so, I drink a nalgene of water or a liter of gatorade before going to bed and take an aleve. This is rare, and I usually only think ahead like this if I have to get up and study or drive or something. Rehydration is key though, obviously.

A much more important consideration is how you prepare yourself to drink the next day. Those of you who did college right probably know what I'm talking about, where you get hammered, and have to get up and drink the next morning (football games, formal weekends, spring break). Sometimes those first few beers can be pretty painful, but you've got no choice.
