Ehhhhh... i have a hangover.?

Answer 1

have a mug of coffee with some ibuprofen and get something to eat

Answer 2

We have compiled a list of known remedies, some work well, some work well for a while and some are just old wives tales. Which is which, is all a matter of opinion. All we'll do is advise you with some words of wisdom.





Eat before your drink

A good meal before you knock back the drink is a good idea. Of course, being Christmas, that’s bound to happen! The food (probably mainly turkey!) in your stomach will soak up the alcohol and prevent it from getting straight into your blood stream.





Water, Water, Water

It’s commonly known that alcohol dehydrates the body. You’ll need to recreate the binge session over your sink, downing as many glasses of the clear stuff as you did the night before.

Drink expensive booze

For one, cheap drink contains more chemicals than the more expensive stuff. This has a greater effect on the body, causing you to become drunker more quickly. This maybe good at the time, but it'll come back to haunt you in a few hours. For another, you can buy less for your money, meaning you can drink fewer glasses!



Extra sleep

Lets face it, being asleep with a banging hangover is far better than being awake. Need any more of a reason.

Drink slowly

Taking your time to knock it back means your body can handle the effect easier. Throwing it down your neck just overloads your system, giving it to much to do all at once.



A Sugar hit

Eating something sweet helps break down the alcohol in your body. A chocolate bar not only tastes great, but helps make your hangover disappear!

Hair of The Dog

Pouring another glass of your poison will help cure you initial ills, but they’ll return just as soon as the effects wear off. It's probably not the best way to sober up either!



Large, black coffee

A caffeine hit has the same affect as drinking more alcohol. This dehydrates the body, so whilst you may feel good for a while, your headache will only return with vengeance an hour or so later.







Fruit juice

Not only does it taste better than tap water, but fruit juice contains vital vitamins your body needs to combat the internal effects of alcohol.


So, there you have it. A list of remedies supposedly able to cure your worst hangover pains. But do they work? Have you another sound idea that you would like included? Let us know using the form below and we'll add all the suggestions to a page over the next few weeks.

Answer 3

First of all, do NOT drink coffee like others have suggested. It is a diuretic and will make you more dehydrated (which is why you feel "hungover"). Also, be careful with what type of pain killers you take for headache- a lot of them can cause liver damage and let's face it- if you are hungover, you probably should give your liver a break. Try to drink as much water as possible and sleep it off. If you feel nauseous, try drinking some ginger ale- ginger is a natural stomach soother. Some people also feel better after eating greasy food, spicy food, or carbohydrates. Experiment and see what works best for you.

Answer 4

Water, aspirin, and a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water for the heartburn. Another drink won't help it just delays the solution of the problem. You'll definitely feel better if you have another drink but you'll have to face the hangover later in a worse form. The secret potion is: yogurt, water salt => mix, drink, repeat.

Answer 5

Make sure you keep yourself hydrated. Drink water or Gatorade (I think Gatorade is a little easier to stomach with a hangover). Take 2 Tylenol, and sleep, sleep, sleep. Try to eat something light, like toast, once your stomach settles a little.
