got the worst hangover ever, any cures before i die?

Answer 1

Ahhh...bless! Go to the chemist and get some 'Resolve' - you disolve it in water and it will have you better in no time.

Answer 2

In once had a hangover where I couldn't get out of bed for 2 days and still felt really ill for another few days. I couldn't face food and if I had more than a sip of water I would be sick. In retrospect I probably had alcohol poisoning...

Anyway going out to a greasy spoon cafe and have a fried food sandwich (bacon or egg or something) with a glass of water and a small glass of fruit juice - you will feel worse at first but after 10 mins or so the fresh air and food will help you feel better.

Answer 3

Berocca - Puts the vitamin B back in, as well as the big glass of water it's mixed with. It's probably best to do this before you go out.

Coke - Fizz for the nausea, liquid for the dehydration, and a caffeine and sugar hit to make you feel a bit more lively.

Coffee - Same as Coke but without the bubbles to help ease the nausea. Try it with honey instead of sugar since the fructose is absorbed quicker than the sucrose in normal sugar, and it's better for you.

Ginseng - It's been noted that since caffeine is a diuretic like alcohol, it can actually make the dehydration worse, so try the herbal equivalent instead.

Vegemite On Toast - Something in your stomach is good, and salty is even better. Plus you get a Vitamin B top up. The same reasons also make peanut butter a good choice, but the oily nature might make some sensitive stomachs feel a bit yucky. If you do try try this one, skip the butter and just have dry toast.

Cold Pizza - Who knows, but it seems to work.

Asprin - Simply attends to the headache and does nothing for the level of alcohol in your system. Don't take them before you go to bed.

Bananas - Sugar in the form of fructose, and potassium, which is one of the things you lose lots of when you drink. Bananas are also a natural antacid to help with the nausea, and are high in magnesium which can help relax those pounding blood vessels causing that hangover headache. For a variety of reasons try a peanut butter, honey and banana sandwich on white bread.

Vitamin C - Another thing the alcohol takes out that you're advised to put back in as soon as possible. Orange juice, tomato, a 600mg Vitamin C tablet - doesn't matter, just do it.
A Hot Bath - The heat will sweat out the toxins that are causing all the problems. You'll feel a bit woozy at first but go with it and you'll feel better afterwards.

Chocolate Milk - This one was sent in by Michael and sounds like it's worth a try - "Regarding your hangover remedies, I would like to suggest chocolate milk. The store bought kind seems to work best, due to ease of attainment (unless you blew all your money at the bar hoping to get lucky), quietness (no loud banging of the teaspoon trying to mix the homemade stuff), and ease of use (the opening is the perfect fit when you have the jitters and no messy clean up). The suggested minimum dosage is the pint ( 1/2 litre) size, though the new quart (litre) can be used for extreme episodes. Other than the rehydration factor, I find that chocolate milk offers the tummy a soothing coating for the nausea. It also repletes some of the vitamins your body is now woefully lacking. The sugars (lactose & sucrose) and salt seem to be the perfect balance of the carb/salt fix. Many women can attest to the beneficial, relatively inexpensive, and legal effects of chocolate against depression, whether physiological or psychological. Last, the flavor seems to do wonders for that ghastly "did I try to mop the floor with my tongue?" taste in your mouth. So, on your way home, stop by your convenient convenience store, head on over to the cooler, grab one more "cold one" (chocolate milk, that is), and bring it home for the morning. Your mother shall compliment you on at least one healthy drinking habit."

Answer 4

If you've been out partying too much, you'll definitely want to avoid a hangover.
Alcohol consumption dehydrates and leaches the body of potassium. Don't take pain relievers. Alcohol combined with pain relievers have been proven to cause stomach ulcers.
Instead, drink at least 16 ounces of water and have a banana or two. Yes, it's that simple! Bananas are probably the most potassium-rich food that is available worldwide and year-round.

Answer 5

Loads of water, loads of carbs, loads of sleep and get some Paramol from the chemist. When you are starting to feel better have a long warm bath, put your comfy jarmies on and eat loads of fresh fruit in front of a soothing film

Answer 6

Eating cold pizza helps. Plus lots of pure orange juice and water. Lying down in a dark room also.

Answer 7

I swear by a bottle of Dr Pepper and a Bag of Ready Salted Crisps!

Answer 8

A bloody Mary

Answer 9

A large Bloody Mary with lots of black pepper, tabasco and lemon, works for me. My boyfriend has chocolate milk like one of the other answerers

Answer 10

Without question, Alkaseltzer. You'll feel right as rain in 1/2 hour.

Answer 11

Lol - I'm with dodds - otherwise a meat pie, a chocolate milk and a body surf in the ocean (if you live in Australia).

Otherwise - water, water, water + panadol!
