Hangovers

Post by Tahrey1043 »

Just wondering on the best way to shift. Got in about 5.30 this morning (from work) and downed a half pint glass of red wine with a microwave curry to induce sleep more easily. Head now understandably feels like death.
I figured on a couple similar glasses of coca cola being the best option (it's like lucozade mixed with red bull, but a little more dilute, better tasting, and far cheaper)... it's done a grand job of restoring energy and waking me up, but still feels like hell internally!

A bit late now but with Prevention being better than cure, I find a pint or 2 of good old fashioned water before sleep/passing out usually stops the hangover in the morning.

Although if you do have a hangover sometimes a pint of ice cold orange juice or bowl of chicken soup may well help.

The others are void (fell asleep almost immediately after downing the drink - bit of a waste I know - and used up the last chicken soup on friday) but the orange juice might have helped ;)

This post brought to you by a new, near-silent fan setup in my PC, which is now helping the situation (i thought it was quiet this morning; it was like a jet in comparison)

Okay, getting all medical on you a bit these are the best options:

* Water...best before you go to bed but essential after too.
* Berocca- get it from Boots etc in a tube from a company called Roche. Little orange tablets. One in a pint of water and you're sorted after a bit. Wicked stuff.
* Orange juice mixed with water (1 part OJ to 2 parts water). Your body needs to replace the minerals etc that it lost but can't cope with concentrated OJ so dilute it and take big gulps regularly.

Poor sod! :cry: :)

Did the trick this time - went to pub, came back, had another couple cans while on phone to dad, finished off with a pint (of H2O) and another by the bed.. everything's much clearer :D

Cool... buzz-b-gone tablets!
