How do you get over a hangover?????

[iidea]

Since it is the new year and if you are like me i got trashed new years eve. I was wondering if any of you guys have any home made recipes to get over a hangover. All of my mexican friends tell me to drink another beer in the morning and to eat a bowl of menudo. But i was hoping for somethin a lil more easier to make. What do y'all do to get over a hangover????

[StoneGRMI]

Banana and honey milkshake

[king6]

Vitamin B-12

Next time take chasers from GNC before you drink.

[rockbottom]

Vodka with breakfast.

[iidea]

I never thought that chasers work. i always see that stuff at the liquor stores and thought it was a gimmick. And do you guys drink these/take these remedies when you wake up after a hangover of before you sleep to prevent it???

[cfiler]

Lots of water with my drinks the night before.

[guest589745]

Don't drink that much in the first place.

[Haro3]

1. start drinkin again, hang overs are withdrawls

2. i eat 3 ibuprofen before bed and a multi and drink a big glass of water and i USUALLY feel great the next day. (use ibuprofen not tylneol if u have the choice)

they got tired of me using the xcuse at work. Hey boss i cant come in today i got a hang over. hangovers just mean you didnt drink enough tha night before. If u get sick then drink some more

I normally like to eat alot of bread like sandwhices, pizza, just to soak up most of it.

I drink a gallon of water everyday so i got that on lock. i'm just the type of guy to try alot of different drinks so i think mixing is my problem. And i'll have to try what Haro said and take some advil before bed. I know that when i start cutting that i aint gonna be drinking so i am planning on staying sober for awhile. But just have to think about next time ya know

No real remedy only time. Water helps. Remember what causes a hangover or drunkeness. Alcohol takes away the oxygen in the blood therefore less oxygen get to the brain, hence the buzz feeling. The more you drink the less oxygen to the brain, then when you wake up your brain is still trying to recover the loss of so much oxygen. Water, which is made up of oxygen helps, but sleep and time is the best cure.

i think sleep makes it worse

some of the worst hangover ive had have lasted all day and all night cos i had been sleeping all day

if i am up early my hangover has usually gone at about lunch time

i think u process the alcohol quicker when u are awake

i always take milk thistle and b vitamins before and after drinking

[Billy_Bathgate]

lol

a hangover, is mostly due to dehydration and defficiencies in minerals such as magnesium and potassium

when you have EtOH in your bloodstream, its suppresses ADH from the pituitary and that is why you piss a ton, as normally your kidneys would reabsorb some of that water. EtOH also has a strong effect on the electrolyte balance on your body


what not to do, never drink more to think you will cure it..thats is absolutely retarded, you are simply adding in more poison..hangover are NOT withdrawels unless you have a chemical dependency, and by this point you woudlnt be reading a thread like this asking about a hangover.

alcohol has nothign to do with the oxygen in your blood. ive had many drunk pts who routinely have had normal biox levels...secondly, you do not get oxygen into your blood from water even though it contains elemental oxygen. it doest not bind to hemoglobin even when dissociated (side note, some studies have shown that ethanol treatment in livers with bacteria have produced a slight hypoxic environment due to prostaglandin release..but thats has nothing to do with this)


things that do work

water
multi vitamin
food
electrolytes

about chasers, if you read the ingredients it contains activated charcol. the same thing you give to some pts who have ingested poisons. in simple terms, it filters out many toxins..in short, ya it should help some. i believe it also has some calcium carbonate, which is basically like an antacid.


also, darker colored drinks..like whiskey and red whines have a higher methanol content, which takes longer to leave your body

ALA taken before and after drinking has been shown to help with hangover symptoms.

[CSAR]

Drink a liter of water before going to bed with 2-3 ibuprofen.
Wake up, eat a banana, a McDonald's cheeseburger (no fries), and a large Coca-Cola.
30 minutes to an hour later and you'll be good to go.
--or--
If you're in the military, get a medic/corpsman to hook you up with an IV of lactated Ringer's.

[BigLittleTim]

A hangover is basically dehydration on a cellular level (for want of a better phrase). Drink a lot of water or Gatorade before you go to bed. If you wake up for a piss in the night, don't go back to bed before drinking some more water or Gatorade.

Apologises..

[Doc.Sust]

water water and more water! alchoh dehydrates you, the hangover happens because of the dehydration. with proper hydration with water before you go out to drink, a little water while you are drinking, and alot of water riht b4 you go to bed, you wont have any hangover.

[STYLE74]

Cfiler and Doc sust and big tim are exactly right. I drink straight tequila and water and never wake up messed up. Don't mix alchohol and drink ALOT of water while you drink your regular drinks and you will be fine. WATER WATER WATER!!!!!

[onestone]

I found that eating a greasy meal like sausage pizza is the best cure if you already have a hangover. Drinking plenty of water before and with alchohal is the best way to prevent one.

Yeah 2 bags in ya and your good to go.

I drinka lot of water take a good multi and a couple aspirins, with alot of food before crashing. It seems to help

[Anabolic CEO]

Only one thing will work...***TIME***

nothing else will work, it might help, but it won't cure a hangover.

[Ejuicer]

A shot of b12 and a couple powerades and i'm good if I have a few too many.

[Fordfan01]

before u go to bed that drunkin nigth and if u r able eat a few saltine crackers and a tall glass of water it helps reduce hangover symtoms

[goodcents]

Don't get drunk? I'm 33 and never been drunk in my life. Never felt the need. What's so great about getting "fuked up"?
