What's the best way to cure a hangover?

Question

Please refrain from saying "don't drink"

Answer 1

The pain of a hangover is caused by dehydration.

Drink plenty of water before you go to bed, take a large glass of water to your bedside and drink it when you wake.

It is a good idea to prevent hangovers is to drink water while you are boozing -- I Iike to have at least one glass of water with each glass of wine and I rarely suffer from any effects.

Answer 2

a bottle of gatorade to replenish your electrolites.sex is always a good cure, also.the drinking the the hair that bit you thing is tricky because for me if i have a shot of whatever the day after it makes me want to start all over with the drinking thing and so i really just "put off" the hangover untill the next day.my boyfreind swears he never has a hangover because he drinks 8 oz or more of water a day and a huge glass before bed when he drinks.

greasy food is good but only if your past the throw up phase.

Answer 3

I don't know about curing. I'd say the best cure would probably be sleep. To prevent a hangover take a multivitamin and drink a lot of water. Works for me everytime.

Answer 4

BEST CURE FOR HANGOVER = GET UP OFF YOUR A$$

Do something strenuous. Sweat out the alcohol. Drink water, or gatorade because its salty. You will experience a buzz, and you will have the beer shits, but it is worth it.

Go on with your day and push through. You'll be good in an hour or two.

Avoid eating anything greasy for a good while.

Answer 5

Possible remedies for a hangover:

Rehydration: "Effective interventions include rehydration, prostaglandin inhibitors, and vitamin B6."[2]
Opuntia ficus indica: A 2004 clinical study suggests that taking an extract of a prickly pear cactus fruit (Opuntia ficus indica) five hours before drinking had a statistically significant effect on three hangover symptoms. "Three of the 9 symptoms – nausea, dry mouth, and anorexia – were significantly reduced by OFI." (Anorexia in this context simply means loss of appetite, not be confused with anorexia nervosa.)[3][4] The authors conclude, "The symptoms of the alcohol hangover are largely due to the activation of inflammation. An extract of the OFI plant has a moderate effect on reducing hangover symptoms, apparently by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators."
Tolfenamic acid (TA): A study concludes, "TA was found significantly better than placebo in the subjective evaluation of drug efficacy (p<0.001) and in reducing the reported hangover symptoms in general (p < 0.01). In the TA group, significantly lower symptom scores were obtained for headache (p<0.01), and for nausea, vomiting, irritation, tremor, thirst and dryness of mouth (all p < 0.05)."[5]
Vitamin B6 (pyritinol): Some studies that have found that Vitamin B6 reduces hangovers.[2][6]
Chlormethiazole: "Chlormethiazole was found to lower blood pressure and adrenaline output and, furthermore, to relieve unpleasant physical symptoms, but did not affect fatigue and drowsiness. The cognitive test results were only slightly influenced by this agent, while psychomotor performance was significantly impaired. Subjects with severe subjective hangover seemed to benefit more from the chlormethiazole treatment than subjects with a mild hangover."[7] "However, all 8 subjects had unpleasant nasal symptoms following chlormethiazole, and it is therefore not an ideal hypnotic for this age group."[8]
Rosiglitazone: [Study in rats] "Rosiglitazone alleviated the symptoms of ethanol-induced hangover by inducing ALD2 expression…"
