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.

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.

How well does one glass of water per drink work (for prevention)?

I think drinking as much water as possible helps, as does late-night snacking.

Ok,ok, along the lines of Pedialyte but easier to buy, cheaper and IT REALLY WORKS: simple garden variety of flavors....popsicles!! This comes from our pediatrician who learned it in med school--rehydrates, moistens the mouth, gets rid of the ickky taste, the sugar solution reestablishes the electrolytes which is what makes you still keep on ...keeping on on the porcelain princess--the more you can eat, the faster it works...may not work the first or second time depending on your indulging..but it will...it also works for flu and especially bringing down fevers--and they are so colorful--ha ha !!

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

I've learned if you're hungover THAT BAD, you shouldn't really drink really cold drinks. Warm or lukewarm is better.

Bananas help cure the throbbing and the headaches and are SUPPOSED to help calm the stomach, but it's always made it unstable for me and then you know what happens next.

Drink any of the electrolyte drinks that distance runners and jocks use [amino vital, cytomax, nuun]. And have some pepto and a tylenol before bed.

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.
