I assume that there are quite a lot of people out here, who like to get drunk
So if you do so, what are you favorite hangover tactics on the day after?

My number1 is pop some aspirine and dont move at all if possible - but this method is quite time consuming so I'm look for good alternatives

Stange enough I dont get hangovers no matter how much I drink.

My roomate takes another shot in the morning & then sleeps all day if he has one.

I would suggest after you think your not going to drink anymore too consume as much water as you can or whatever to re-hydrate your body, you should feel 10x's better the next day.

Also try different liquors you might be allergic to stuff in it.

Ah...the spinning head, I remember that. Part of the reason I stopped drinking. Then again I always seemed to take it 8 drinks too far. May not seem like much but when its 100 proof SoCo it's way too much.

I agree TrollmeaT, I think hangovers are related to the amount of dehydration you experience while drinking. I know it seems odd to be dehydrated while drinking, but alcohol will have this effect if your water levels aren't high enough compared to the alochol you consume by the time you finish for the night. It's all about the right ratio for each individual.

My top 5 Hangover Cures (In no particular order)

1.) Full Monty Breakfast works a treat.
2.) More Sleep.
3.) Hair of the Dog (personal favourite(what makes you bad makes you better:D))
4.) Sex (always works, but tends to lead back to No 2)
5.) Exercise - Play Sunday League Football so applies to Sunday mornings only, but makes me feel fantastic after the first half hour and the sick feeling goes away!

1: If possible, drink as much water as you can hold before you pass out.
2. Morning after, eat 2 pieces of white bread and sip water till you've gotten a glass or two down.
3. 420
4. For those living in a major city in Texas: Find your local Freebird's. Order a baby bird without cheese. Light steak or no meat at all. Refried beans are your friend.

The big concept in beating the H.O. is passing the toxins through your system right? Drinking alot of water before you pass out begins the process. The food aspect is introduced so as to soak up the remaining undigested alcohol and help carry it through your system.

As for the pounding headache, #3 might help, although rehydrating yourself is the most common method.

Good luck Drinkers!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Do this and you won't feel a thing in the morning (for the most part).

[DISCLAIMER: I (duk0r) am NO doctor nor do I have a doctrine in any medical field what so ever. I cannot guarantee that this method will work for everyone and that everyone will have the same results. Please check with a Doctor or your medical physician if you feel this least bit uncomfortable about trying this.]

Before you pass out do this:
1) Drink 1-2 full tall glasses of water. (24-32 FL OZ)
- The aspirin will rehydrate your system.

2) Take 1 (one) aspirin. {WARNING: ANY MORE CAN BE DANGEROUS!}
- The Aspirin will help thin out your blood to help your body process the alcohol.

3) Take vitamin supplements... (mostly Vitamin C)
- Vitamins will help your body replenish it resources due to the high toxicity of alcohol.

I have done this many times and it has worked wonders! Feels like cheating sometimes!

Happy St. Patty's day!

Cheers

My cures that work:

1) Sleep on the sofa (not the bed)
2) Going for a long motorbike ride around the lake.. three times.
3) LOTS of food. Good food. Bierwurst, 3 Eggs and lots of lettuce. I like lettuce.

Water does jack shit for me... probably because on normal days I drink half a gallon, so when i'm drinking i'd need a lot more.

ok here it is

when you lie down and you head spin you are always thinking about people...always

and instead of you think about them standing upright while your lying down you need to picture them horizontle like you......kinda hard to understand but it works a treat.

so instead of you being - and them being |

they also need to be -

lol make sense of that!
