i woke up with a hangover .. what should i do?

Answer 1

Water, Advil, and Waffle House...you'll be better in no time!

Answer 2

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."

Answer 3

go back to bed. If that's not possible, eat a couple of donuts (the bread will help absorb some of the alcohol), then go to the drug store and check for the anti-hangover pills (yes, they do make them, it flushes the alcohol out of your system quicker).

If you are going to work, take your cell phone, go to the bathroom and set the alarm for 10 minutes and fall asleep (repeat as necessary)

Answer 4

Drink lots of water and use the bathroom often. Try to eat some food that include bread. It will absorb what you left in the stomache. If you feel like throwing up drink Sprite or soda water help to ease your stomache. Even if you dont have the feeling of throwing up, Sprite or soda water helps in settling you stomache and helps in leveling out your soberness into normalcy.

Answer 5

The best thing to do is sleep it off. Drink Gatorade and put a cold wash cloth on your forehead. I used to be hungover a lot and these were the only things that helped me feel better. Good Luck...

Answer 6

Eat a full meal, not just a little snack. Be sure the meal includes bread, pasta, or both. Drink plenty of water.

Answer 7

Gonna be a long day if you have to go to work. Advil or Tylenol, and plenty of water to stay hydrated. Good luck!

Answer 8

Drink lots of water, take two aspirin (not Tylenol or Alieve) and, most importantly, learn a lesson from this.

Answer 9

Go get some pizza, drink some coke and some water and take 2 tylenols....go back to bed.
