Answer 1

ok.. from experience.. yea, drink a lot of water.. and eat tons. if that dont work.. sleep! u'll wake up feeling a lot better. drink clamato( tomato juice) with some " tapatio" or any hot sauce.. trust me that works too. and if all else fails.. eat a lot of bread to soak up all the alcohol..

Answer 2

Hangovers can be caused by WHAT you drink, so you can sometimes avoid them by watching your consumption the night before. Avoid the "girly" drinks, Long Island Ice Tea, Margaritas, Pina Coladas, Tequila Sunrise, etc. Stick with scotch and soda or vodka and tonic if you must drink a mixed drink. Then water is the BEST thing for a hangover BECAUSE you must flush all of the remaining alcohol from your system. Drink a glass of water every 15 minutes until you are going to the bathroom every 15 minutes. You will HATE the site of another glass of water, but keep drinking. This keeps your blood pumping and your kidneys filtering and the alcohol will be purged. Then you should eat something smoothing to your stomach, such as bread or oatmeal, and drink something with sugar in it. Aspirin or Tylenol will help the headache.

The best advice is not to get a hangover in the first place. One way is not drinking, but that's not always practical. Simply take a couple of aspirin before going to bed. You will not have a hangover, although you may still be a bit tired.

Some people can't take aspirin due to stomach issues. However, if you are drinking enough to get a hangover, aspirin is the least of your worries.

IMPORTANT: Don't take anything other than REAL aspirin. Other pain relievers combined with alcohol can cause serious liver problems and death.

Well.. you can try this. When I go out on a binge.. before I go to bed and the last thing I have is an ice cold can of coke (coca-cola) and 2 extra strength tylenol... then, when I get up in the morning.. if I still feel like crap.. I have another ice cold coke (if I have a pounder of a headache, I will have 2 more tylenol as well).

I rarely have a hangover and I have NEVER puked.. NEVER! I am 42... I can drink a case of 24+ CANADIAN beer in a night. Trust me... it works.. for me anyway.. it might work for you.

Answer 5

Dont drink water. That makes me feel 10 times worse. Dehydration is the problem. Drink some Gatorade or Powerade to replace the lost electrolites. Next time make sure to partake of your liquor on a full stomach, so it wont hit you so hard. Take a few asprin and next time try that No Hangover stuff that you can get at Walgreens. Someone told me that it works.

Answer 6

hang overs are caused by the impurities in the alcohol and by dehydration. The best way to cure hangovers is to prevent them. Carbonation and sugars both speed the processing of alcohol so try to avoid them. If you must mix use natural juices, the have the sugars but not the carbonation of sodas. Also hydrate between drinks. Alcohol is a diuretic meaning it thins the blood. That means it flows faster through the body. And the better quality alcohol means fewer impurities

Answer 7

take three or four tylenol and drink lots of water before you go to bed. If that dont do it then start drinking what you were drinking the night before even if you dont feel like it and the hangover will go away.

Answer 8

There are a few one that you can try. If you like pickles then drink some pickle juice. If not, it has been scientifically proven that coffee helps get rid of a hangover faster by 20%. And also drink lots of water, the water gets it out of your system faster.

Answer 9

The reason u feel like sh!t is a. you poisoned yourself and b. Your dehydrated because your body needs 2-3 times the water to alcohol for the liver to break it down, and c all that urinating depleted your body of nessassary nutrients and water soulable vitiamins. The cure!

Step one posion control: Activated charcoal has been used for 1000's of years to treat food posioning and such. It is still given in emergency rooms today. You can obtain sterile medical grade stuff through your pharmacy or online health/vitimin store it is used in herbal cleansing. MIx 1 teaspoon with water and drink to quiet a upset stomach.

Step two Rehydrate! Many people will tell you sports drink like gatorade but I recommend childrens pedialyte. The reason being is gatorade has only one electrolyte and lots of sugar. You don't want a suger rush and crash right now! The pedialyte is formulated for infants so its really fast and easy to metabolize, your stomach will thank you later.

Step three: Because you went and went and went somemore you passed all your minerals particulary potassium and magnesium as well as water soluable vitamins like c. You need to restock the shelves. You could take a vitamin pill and wait till hell froze over for it to get to your bowel or you get a bottle of liquid multi vitamins at any good vitamin store ( gnc) and keep it in the fridge. Just double or triple the recommanded daily dose on the label and add it to your pedialyte.

Lastly let me add a few things avoid things like red bull that have tons of caffine as these will dehydrate you more and although the hair of the dog can make you feel better by slowing your crash it's still a crash. If you do all what I put above you will feel about 70% better in one hr depending on you and what you did to yourself. Then have somemore.

Sleep is the final key and is usually the hardest to get, but try anyhow.

PS. If you can avoid aspirin and tylenol they just mask the pain. You don't feel like this cause your body is low on aspirin.

Here's a clip from a medical study, tell me the symptoms aren't the same as a hangover!

Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency?
What are some of the symptoms of magnesium deficiency? They are outlined beautifully in a recent article by Dr. Sidney Baker. Magnesium deficiency can affect virtually every organ system of the body. With regard to skeletal muscle, one may experience twitches, cramps, muscle tension, muscle soreness, including back aches, neck pain, tension headaches and jaw joint (or TMJ) dysfunction. Also, one may experience chest tightness or a peculiar sensation that he can't take a deep breath. Sometimes a person may sigh a lot.

Here's one w/ potassiums;

The symptoms of potassium deficiency include muscle weakness, confusion, irritability, fatigue, and heart disturbances. Athletes with low potassium stores may tire more easily during exercise, as potassium deficiency causes a decrease in glycogen (the fuel used by exercising muscles) storage.

So now you know why every muscle in your body aches and the smallest task has u out of breath and you feel so tired........

Lastly I included two links if you read about the symptoms of magnesium/potassium deficiency. Please verify everything!

Answer 11

we call it bite the dog, take a shot and the hangover will go away, and the vomiting thing, yeah, it's normal but I don't give in cause I feel worse afterwards.
