How to treat a hangover?

Question

I didnt drink much last night but i had one really strong drink with a mix of all sorts of alcohol. I never saw it coming the way it did.....cause i try to avoid hangovers :o( They suck...
Its the first time i have ever felt like this. Its terrible and i dont know how to go about making myself feel better. My stomach burns and ive puked a total of 2 times this morning.
Anyone got any ideas?

Answer 1

Huny, everyone says do this and do that but nothing works better than this:

Take two Tylenol (any Pain reliever)and drink about 2 glasses of water after that.
The Tylenol help with the bad headache and the water helps with the throwing up and dehydration. If you don't drink enough water and replace what you are throwing up then you will keep vomiting, and it doesn't feel nice when your throwing up absolutely nothing.

After all that take about a 2 hr nap. When you wake up you should feel like new. Just keep drinking water.

Hope you feel better.

For me the best remedy to remove hangover is to use DIFRESH ANTI-HANGOVER spray. I am using this spray all the time when I go to drink some alcohol and also day after. This is a mouth spray with a fresh peppermint flavor that contains components to aid the body in the process of alcohol metabolization and promote its eliminatio. I recommend it to all people. I bought this spray in http://difreshshopusa.app.telemw.com/pag-04

First- next time take aspirin at night before you go to sleep- that helps alot- second, avoid the mixed alcohols-Ugh! If you drink in lesser amounts (good for you) like most adults do then the mixing will kick your hind end. In so Cal we go out for spicy burritos in the morning- I don't know why but the spices and I think the "weight" and protein in the beans etc help your stomach calm down-try crackers too- just like when your sick- with 7up or sprite...

Answer 4

Lots of water because you are dehydrated. And two Tylenol for your headache. But try to remember before you go to sleep after a night of drinking, drink one large glass of water and take two Tylenol.

Answer 5

you should take two paracetamol and two glasses of water before! you go to sleep. But thats to late for you now. All you can do now is try to eat, don't throw up by the thought of it, a fryed egg with a glass of milk. Go slow!

Answer 6

a thing to do while drinking is drink water as you drink. hang overs are the aftermath of dehydration. the alcohol causes the dehydration. drinking plenty of water may help a hangover too.

Hangover Cures

A hangover is caused by a combination of the toxic by-product of alcohol metabolism (acetaldehyde), dehydration, and Vitamin A, B (particularly B6) and C depletion caused by the chemical action of alcohol on your system. The symptoms are usually a dry mouth, nausea, fatigue, dizziness and headache and are caused by a combination of these factors.

Apart from the obvious toxic effects, you should realise you're suffering the effects of a mild overdose of a depressant drug and your nerves are reacting accordingly, and you have also flushed a signifnicant quantity of vitamins and nutrients from your system causing a degree of metabolic shock that your body is struggling to compensate against. This is why hangover symptoms often include disorientation and "the jitters".

Some drinks give you worse hangovers than others due to the actions of impurities called Congeners. While it's the ethyl alcohol (ethanol) that gets you drunk, amyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, and isopropyl alcohol is also found in most drinks to varying degrees, and the concentration of these Congeners will go a long way to determining the severity of the hangover.

Vodka and gin (clear liquors) are generally lower in congeners than whisky, rum and bourbon, due to the filtering process involved, and hence usually give a less intense hangover. Unfortunately the congeners also give flavor, smell and appearance to alcohol.

Another contributor to the hangover is the "freshness" of the alcohol since the natural oxidation product of ethanol is also acetaldehyde. Finishing off an already open bottle of red, or drinking beer that's been in the boot of your car for a week, will provide you with a ready made supply of acetaldehyde so you don't have to wait for your liver to make it in order to have a really good hangover.

Most hangover "remedies" simply attend to one or more of the symptoms and don't really provide a cure as such. The hangover won't stop until the alcohol is out of your system:


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."
