I could have bought lots of beer with the money they wasted on this study!
I couldn't help but notice that RU-21 is conspicuous by its absence among the 'cures' they tested out. I wonder if their study covered it, too?
A greasy McDonald's breakfast sandwich is the difference between life and death many mornings.
Cranberry juice mixed with 7-Up. Replaces lost fluids without making you heave.
Nonsense
a couple of glasses of water before you go to bed and then eat some fruit in the morning, preferable watermelon or cantalope (waterfilled fruit) and the hangover will be either weak or nonexistence.
Doesn't work if you've passed out drunk...you're too far gone by then.
Yes definitely water...plus vitamin C and Vitamin B tablets you will wake up like its a normal day. The problem is most of the time I get in so late I just hit the bed and forget all about the possible hangover the next day..
Interestingly as a result I just bought "Chaser" last weekend after a hangover and tried it out on Saturday night (its tablets that are taken while you drink)..I guess it worked fine but I kind of took it easy that night so it is hard to tell..The vitamins and water are certainly more economical..Chaser was 6.99 for 10 tablets and you can take anywhere from 4-6 per night!!
Don't drink the cheap stuff and remember to keep hydrated. Also, if you know you've really overdone the drinking, you might as well force yourself to puke before bed (beats waking up to do it).
It's good to make your last one a big old glass of water, as a hangover prevention. There is no cure.
"the only sure way of avoiding a hangover is not to drink in the first place"
It can also be the only sure way of avoiding STDs. ;')
Sometime ago, I was informed that alchohol saps you of water-soluble vitamins, minerals, and needed electrolytes. I heard the hangover is simply the body needing water and a dose of the same suppliments that athletes take after a hard work out, particularly electrolytes, B and C vitamins. Don't know if it is 100% foolproof formula but coincidentally I knew a real lush when I was younger. He used to wake up after drinking all night, open a can of beer and pop a B complex and 2 Cs. He had no hangover, though he belched from the B.
So, perhaps the secret to hangovers is to drink water before drinking alchohol. Don't binge drink or drink too quickly. Try to drink with a meal so the alchohol is absorbed. And take a multi or B-complex with water or a small glass of gatorade the next day.
For me, I stopped hanging out with drunkards and getting drunk myself. This method cured my hangovers, avoided theirs, and as an added bonus killed most foolish behavior in my life.
Just drink lots of water or juice while you're drinking the other stuff. And before you pass ou...er go to bed.
Two fingers of Dickler's Sour Mash and three pints of Iron City Beer will cure any hangover.
