After the New Years celebration, anyone have a good remedy for the next day's hangover.?

Answer 1

I have a few for you. Lots of carbonated water (or tonic), lots of water, take your aspirin or excedrin migraines the day before. A friend of my dad used to line his stomach with a quarter-pound of butter before going out on new year's - claimed he could drink twelve beers and feel fine the next day. Among the old-time actor crowd in Hollywood the doctors used to prescribe breathing oxygen directly from tanks - it works wonders not only to get rid of the hangover but also to help metabolize the remnant booze. Cheers.

Answer 2

A product called Chaser (you can find in health food stores) is effective because the remedy is based on science, not folklore. It has all natural ingredients that absorb the harmful elements in beer, wine and spirits (called congeners) that make up the flavor, aroma and color of alcoholic beverages - but which also cause hangovers. The pill's activated calcium carbonate and vegetable carbon attract these congeners and safely pass them out of your system - like a filter, helping to prevent hangovers from occurring. You won't find a more effective hangover product.

Emergen-C is also REALLY great at curing hangovers before they start...instead of just a regular glass of water before I pass out, I add a packet of this...it helps so much the next morning!

Answer 3

Well, the best remedy is to moderate how much you consume. I like to drink one drink, then have some water. If you alternate drinks with water you limit your intake. If you know you will overdo it, first make sure you have a safe ride home. Waking up with a DUI is no fun at all.

Try to eat something before you drink. Especially something dairy, like milk or cheese. That will help slow down the rate of alcohol absorption into your body. Drinking on an empty stomach will hit you that much faster and harder.

Before you go to bed, drink water or something like gateraid. If you can eat something, that will help also.

In the morning, lots of water and gateraide. Orange juice also.
You get dehydrated while drinking, so that is what you need to fight. The headache is caused by being dehydrated.

And lastly, be careful! Don't drink and drive...

Answer 4

cheers! depending a lot,in wat you consider as a hangover.
i have been on a drinking binge before,in amsterdam, starting
10 o clock in the morning,until midnight,stashing away 3-4 bottles
of whisky +wine and beer and champagne in large quantities.
than we are talking about a mayor hangover the next morning.
remedie; alka selzer, and a couple of drinks the next day at
breakfast, and nursing that tiger, for a couple of days,and slowly building off again, but if we are talking about a bit to much wine
than it is more easy,if you are not to dronk,take a large glass of
water before going to sleep, to avoid dyhadrating, if you also have
been eating properly, the hangover will be mild.
drinking a couple of glasses of water in the morning helps better
than juice or coffee./with a couple of asperines
another remedie is to start the next day, with a bit of alcohol of the same kind as you have been drinking the day before.
to avoid severe hangovers,try to stick to one product, no mixing drinks, becouse that is funest.
for the rest, just take it, brave it out, its a small price to pay,for all the fun you where having, happy new year!

Answer 5

You get a hangover because you are dehydrated. I force myself to drink a big glass of water and take two ibuprofen before falling into bed (or wherever). If I wake up in the night (or day), I make myself drink another glass of water and take two more pills. Seems to work for me -- I haven't had a bad hangover in years.

Answer 6

Yes, don't drink! Easy. Good question though, couldn't believe howmany suggested remedies you received, but wouldn't it be easier just to avoid the problem. Like one of your other answers, I too have had a lot of good times by not drinking. In fact, I have enjoyed myself at social situations better by not drinking. Hope you have a Happy New Year and whatever you decide a happy next day!

Answer 7

I always try to drink a couple of glasses of water before I pass out. I also try to eat something that is not greasy. Then I take two Advil and pass out. This helps prevent your body from getting dehydrated, and helps prevent a hangover.

Answer 8

It all starts on new years eve. A quick and easy one.. drink s red bull or some energy drink every two hours that you drink. It really won't get you that buzzed and keep you awake if you don't wanna be.
The energy drinks will get the alcohol thrue your system faster and you will be as fit as a fiddle in the morning/ after noon.

Have fun and don't drink and drive!

Answer 9

Eat something with protein before you go to bed to help keep your blood sugar level and drink plenty of water the next day as the alcohol dehydrates you.

Answer 10

Don;t stop drinking. Just kidding. Check out the website listed below.

Potentially beneficial remedies
Rehydration: "Effective interventions include rehydration, prostaglandin inhibitors, and vitamin B6."[5]
Narcotics: Codeine, dihydrocodeine, tilidine and other such medications directly work against many of the effects of alcohol hangover. However, preparations containing acetaminophen (paracetamol) should be avoided if possible when alcohol is in the system because of the risk of potentially fatal liver damage. Consumption of narcotics along with alcohol or shortly after consumption thereof is potentially dangerous in itself because of added depressant CNS effects.
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.)[6][7] 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)."[8]
Vitamin B6 (pyritinol): Some studies have found that Vitamin B6 reduces hangovers.[5][9]
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."[10] "However, all 8 subjects had unpleasant nasal symptoms following chlormethiazole, and it is therefore not an ideal hypnotic for this age group."[11]
Rosiglitazone: [Study in rats] "Rosiglitazone alleviated the symptoms of ethanol-induced hangover by inducing ALD2 expression…"[12]
Another possible remedy is the consumption of motion-sickness medicine or over the counter allergy medicine.[citation needed]


[edit] Probably ineffective remedies
Globe artichoke (Cynara scolymus) extract: "Our results suggest that artichoke extract is not effective in preventing the signs and symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover."[13]
Propranolol: "We conclude that propranolol does not prevent the symptoms of hangover."[14][15]
Fructose and glucose: "The results indicate that both fructose and glucose effectively inhibit the metabolic disturbances induced by ethanol but they do not affect the symptoms or signs of alcohol intoxication and hangover."[16]
