Rough morning after a fun night last night - an evil mix of gin, wine and scotch - so let's hear 'em. 
Best Hangover Remedies?
- Thread starter OGRipper
- Start date
Never stop drinking.
Not that most people have access to; or the knowledge to hook it up...but when I was a medic in the Army, myself and some of the other medics (stationed in Germany=extra special hangovers!) would help each other out by hooking up an I.V. of 1000ml of D5W. Basically a mixture of saline, electrolytes and sugar water. Hands down the best remedy I ever knew.
Next to that, Gatorade, Advil and toughing it out.:redhot:

50 Advil
Actually a Denny's grilled cheese on sourdough, fries and a chocolate shake has pulled me through plenty of messes.

Vitamin B12 and Excedrin. Plus greasey food.
Roger on the grease. I am going for a cheese steak in a few minutes. And then I am never going to drink again. Until next time anyway. 
I take 2 asprin and a lot of water before bed, followed by a large greasy spoon style breakfast.
You going to Philly Cheese Steak Shop? That place kicks ass!!!!!OGRipper said:Roger on the grease. I am going for a cheese steak in a few minutes. And then I am never going to drink again. Until next time anyway.
I. B. Hoagies (or something like that), I work in Oaktown, but if you are talking about the place on Divisadero in SF I totally agree. Ok, it's lunch time...Brian HCM#1 said:

Interesting.
Why does the grease help?

Grease helps, I have no idea why.
I vote for Wafflehouse. Hashbrowns covered and smothered, eggs, and bacon. That or a patty melt plate.

Advil and water before you go to sleep. When you wake up Gatorade, and a couple Grand Slams from Denny's.
Again hydration and grease seems to work for some odd reason.

I didn't know the grease remedy either. My sollution has just been to take a few advil and barf everything out of my system and then go about my day. Preferably before work or class back when I was in college.
On a side note: a hang over isn't usually as bed when you wake up w/ a pretty girl next to you.

Red Beer. That's any good ale with tomato juice or clamato added.....season with pepper and salt.
Depends on the girl. My Dad, a wise man, has a saying 10 at 2, 2 at 10.d.e.f. said:
A couple of asprin and an Emergen-C packet. If you're hungry, nothing beats a grand slam.
A solid bike ride can help. If you pound a couple liters of water the night before, or during the hangover, it helps more than anything. I've had good luck with smoking a bowl or five the next morning, that usually takes your mind off the pulsating brain pain.OGRipper said:Rough morning after a fun night last night - an evil mix of gin, wine and scotch - so let's hear 'em.
One other alternative is to not drink as much the night before.
Boring I know. Boo hiss.

This has always worked for me.jimmydean said:
I have always wondered if those "anti-hangover" pills that are advertised work...
Hydration is the key. Drink a couple of quarts of water before you go to bed and it iwll alleviate most of the problems.
Although you may still wake up drunk, nothing to be done about that.

Actually, spinach is the key. Well, it was for a couple of weekends in the house of 4 dudes that I lived in. Someone heard a crazy idea that finishing off a hard night of drinking with some spinach was the ultimate hang over cure. We decided to test this theory. Somewhere there is video footage of my good friend, completely drunk to the point of no return, drinking straight vodka from a pint glass and chowing down on some spinach.
That theory was quickly proven wrong and we moved on...

Macko has it. The Emergen-C packets are a champ!
Okay and grease.
How do all you people drink a couple of quarts of water before bed? I mean if I'm drinking enough to get really good and drunk (especially if I'm drinking beer) there is no more room in my guts for more liquid. If I drink that much water on top of all that I'm gonna hurl.
Beer is a little different story, but I usually go to be a few hours after my last drink. A liter or so of water usually does the trick. Greasy food just makes you feel a little better, but hydration the next morning is just as important. A nice hike with a dh bike does wonders, although breathing stale booze into a fullface can be vomit inducing...so leave the helmet on the handlebars for the hike.jdschall said:
I usually skirt the issue by sleeping through the hangover or making sure I wake up good and drunk, that way you're so happy to be sober you don't care about being hungover.
You've just gotta suck it up, man. It really is the most effective prevention. The problem I have is remembering to do it...jdschall said:
Grease (and all fats) do seem to help once you have a hangover but they also are actually very good at preventing one. Grease/fat in your stomach slows down your digestion (material passing into your intestine where alcohol is absorbed the fastest) and hence any alcohol that happens to be there at the same time is absorbed slower by your body, giving your system more time to deal with it.
Coffee with a good stiff shot of Baileys will fix you right up. My co worker swears by menudo, the food, not the boy band. But maybe I should double check with him 
Old enough to know better, young enough to get too knackered now and then anyway.The Toninator said:
The line at the cheesesteak place was too big so I went for a bacon cheeseburger with fries...feeling much better.
And I understand water - after the first two or three drinks I get a water between each that follows. In this case I think it was just the mix of different alcohols - gin, wine, and scotch - as well as the fairly large amount compared to the relatively small amounts I've been drinking lately.
I'm with bikeandweed on this one. A nice blunt or a few bowls always makes me feel a hellovalot better.
second the wafflehouse motion, my vote goes for the ham and cheese omelette with hashbrowns all the way.jdschall said:
yesterday night, i was up with a few friends drinking a lot of danzka... no hangover at all today. but i woke up at 5am dead thirsty, a ice cold gatorade then, and another one at 8am did the trick.Changleen said:
i always try to drink johnnie walker or tanqueray... i dont get hangovers from those, just the usual morning thirst.....
Burn a blunt after and you will be set. Or drink a ****load of water.
1 litre of cranberry juice (not that cocktail crap), 2 eggs scrambled, and 2 aspirin. Not sure why but it does the trick everytime. Sex works pretty good too.
What ever you do chug watter befor going to sleep then
Best option: Drink enough to wake up drunk
2nd Best option: Get up an hour or two befor you really have to get up and drink a few more glasses of watter. Then go back to sleep till you actually need to be awake.
3rd best option: Get on your bike and do 10 minutes of sprints, its hurts and sucks at the time but soon after your heart rate drops back down you'll feel awsome.
Asprin, Advil, and any painkillers are a bad idea, their the easy way out and hell on your liver after beating on it all night with alcohol.
Has anyone been numb drunk past 6pm the following night, thats my record.
