The Cures

Berocca

Sold in Australia specifically as a vitamin supplement, but widely recognised as a hangover cure, these small tubes contain all the chemicals that are lost and destroyed in a drinking session, in the correct proportions. In its native land, Berocca is often handed out free to delegates every morning at week-long conferences. Many Australians would not consider going on a binge without a supply of Berocca to hand.

Berocca is now available in the UK from Boots the Chemist. It is marketed as a pick-me-up for business meetings, but drinkers know better!

Caffeine

A good strong cup of coffee or tea will perk you up at any time of day, but that's just the caffeine stimulating your tired body. It doesn't actually cure anything, and if you're at the stage when you can keep hot drinks down then you're probably on the road to recovery anyway. In addition, caffeine is also a diuretic, and you don't want to be losing any more water at this stage of the game, so from this viewpoint it may be best to avoid tea, coffee, cola, Red Bull and the like4.

Eggs

Many traditional hangover cures, such as Prairie Oysters, omelettes and the English Fried Breakfast, involve eggs. Others swear by the efficacy of a downed raw egg in the morning. The reason that these are thought to work at all is probably that eggs also contain cysteine5, and so help to mop up free radicals.

Hair of the Dog

A tot of alcohol in the morning. For some particularly nasty hangovers, this can be useful, although the bad news is that the effect is only temporary. The liver attacks poisons in a certain order, with ethanol first. Once all the ethanol has been broken down, it starts on the methanol, which releases formic acid into your system and makes you feel bad. Hitting the liver with another dose of ethanol causes it to stop processing methanol and start on the new threat, but the methanol will have to be processed sometime so you are only postponing the hangover until later.

Hot Showers

Another way of relieving a headache is to sit in a really hot, really powerful shower, and get the full force of it on the back of your neck. This may need some juxtaposition of plastic chairs and shower settings, so it might be an idea to practice first while sober, but it is worthwhile because headaches are often caused by constricted blood vessels and tense neck muscles. A massage under a hot shower relaxes the tension.

Isotonic6 Sports Drinks

In theory these are a great idea, for they are supposed to replace all the salts and sugars that are sweated out during athletic activity - surely much the same thing as we are trying to achieve here. The problem is that, due to market forces, they are usually fizzy, and probably the last thing you need while suffering a hangover is a bellyful of bloating gas. However, if you don't mind, or if you can find a flat one, it's definitely worth doing. One variation on the sports drink theme is a 50:50 mix of Tropical Tango and Red Bull
Pinching your Hand

There is a nerve junction between the thumb and forefinger on your left hand which is reputed to be an acupressure point which can release tension in the head and neck. If you pinch it quite hard for 30 seconds every five minutes, normal tension headaches can be relieved. It's certainly worth trying if you can't keep down any painkillers...

Resolve

Sold in the UK as a stomach settler, this is a powder that becomes a fizzy drink when added to water, and contains a painkiller and some anti-acid chemicals. Another common brand, although without the painkiller, is Alka Seltzer which comes in tablet form. For our purposes, these are best taken before going to bed, as the chances are that in the morning you won't be able to keep it down. It can work marvels, especially if followed in the morning by a vitamin supplement such as Berocca.
Water

The traditional hangover remedy, with folklore dictating that you should quaff a pint of water for every drink that you have consumed. Undeniably this has some ameliorative effect, but because your kidneys' water-absorption function has been switched off, a lot of it goes straight to your bladder, noticeably causing nocturnal trips to the bathroom and little else.

Answer 3

Hangover
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

LISTEN EV'rybody: to avoid or reduce hangovers ya must drink a LOT (of water). Queen elizabeth has been doin it fer 120 years now, and she is in perfect shape for a blood-thirsty bunny.

Pathology

A hangover is a state of mind whichs comes close to meditation: people with daily hangovers are believed to reach a bit of heaven by suffering. The drinking rituals needed for this state of mind are a challenge that only the bravest amongst us shall face. Ghandi was the first known man to have daily hangovers.

Cures

No reliable cures for the hangover have yet been discovered, although this hasn't stopped an awful lot of people making them up for the humour value.

However, some items consistently have positive effects on those with the heightened state of mind that is the hangover. Namely (in no particular order):

Bacon
Lucozade
Glucose
Duvets
Lectures
Palindromes


“Nothing is funnier than watching a man try to consume a raw egg in half a tumbler of Worcestershire Sauce, then honk it back up again.”

~ Oscar Wilde on Hangovers

Answer 4

Instead of drinking fluids during your hangover, when you come back from the pub/club or whatever buy a bottle of water and drink a whole litre before you go to bed. I promise you that you wont have a hangover when you wake up or anywhere near as bad.

Also the next day coke is really good and some nice greasy food.

Answer 5

personally, i like cold orange juice with ice cubes. for some reason, it helps. when I suggest it though, people usually say "it'll just make me puke more." you must have been some heavy drinking last night if you're still hungover but i've been there. ibprofen or tylenol helps and if you know someone with a painkiller prescription like Vicodon or Tylenol 3, take a couple, they won't hurt you unless you're allergic, just avoid driving and make sure you're not going to have a drug test for a job anytime soon because you'll show up positive for opiates. get as much sleep as possible. and don't drink again tonight or you'll feel even worse the next day. and if people tell you that drinking more cures a hangover, they are sooo mistaken.

Answer 6

Drink LOTS of water, take two aspirin or ibuprofen or similar, eat some bread and high fiber food to absorb, then move the alcohol poisoning out of your body. Then WAIT! The aspirin (or similar) will relieve the headache, the water will wash you out (or at least give you something to vomit, if a really bad hangover), the food will absorb and process the imbalance until the alcohol is out of your body. DON'T drink more alcohol (the dog that bit you), because it delays recovery. Good luck.

Answer 7

Only two things come to mind--- don't drink or reduce the amount of alcohol taken into your system so that your bod can proces it. And since i am a recovered alcoholic i know that hangover remedies are usually sought or practiced by people whoi may have a drinking problem, even tho there are those who occasionally abuse alcohol. The body isdesigned to process about i can of beer, one glass of wine, or one shot of whiskey per hour, so if you only have one drink anhour it may keep you from getting sick. One of the things i used to do to reduce hangover effects was take a vitamin C tablet with as much water as i could drink before going to bed ( provided, of course, that i wasn't blacked out ) to restore some of the electrolyte balance that alcohol depletes from the system. Some people drink atorade or similar fluids to restoe what alcohol depletes. Good luck, and if yu discover there is the possibility of a problem, you can E-mail me and we can exchange ideas.

Answer 8

TONS of water and toast with NO butter or anything on it. Or you could be like other people and have another drink, that would cure a hangover if you want to be a little tipsy at work or school.... haha

Answer 9

Hangovers are due to dehydration and lack of oxygen to the brain. If you have oxygen available, it will cure the head ache. Also drink beverages like gatoraid, or power aid. I prefer power aid cause it has vit B.

Answer 10

Hangovers are caused from being dehydrated. Drink as much water as possible after drinking b4 you go to bed AND more water when you wake up.... Personally I like Moe's burritos after I get F***ed up.
