What's the best hangover cure?

[Quidi Vidi]

Had a few too many last night and got to thinking this morning that I'm glad I'm not going out on the boat today. This in turn got me wondering how to cure the hangover if I was to go sailing the morning after? I'm sure some of you must have been there, done that and have some weird and wonderful remedies! When I was younger and in the navy it really wasn't a problem but now a days it seems to take for ever to get rid of a hangover. Oh before anyone starts dragging out there soap boxes and climbing the moral high ground, I already know it's best not to get drunk the night before.
So let's hear some of your remedies and experiences.

A good stiff walk (enough to bring on a sweat), deep inhallations whilst you go and drink a couple of cans of coke... works for me

 

[sarabande]

vitamin c tablets, and lots of water or orange juice.



I am told

 

[Csail]

A few more beers

 

[VicS]

"A hair of the dog"

I have always found that drinking plenty of water before you go to bed is very effective ... provided that you can remember to do so.

80% of the nasty symptoms of a hangover are due to the dehydration induced by alcohol.

 

[Giblets]

Marmite on toast.

 

[z1ppy]

2 x Alka Seltzer and an 1000mg vitamin c tablet in the same pint of water.

How do i know this works..... guess what i had this morning!!

Evil should be fought with evil (translated from Dutch expression). So indeed, the best cure is to take a few more that caused the issue in the first place......

 

[richardh10]

2 (3 if it's a corker) nurofen and a bottle of lucozade

Seriously, there is no remedy for a hangover that actually works! Drinking plenty of water BEFORE the hangover works, because it is about dehydration mainly. But once you're hungover, all you can do is drink water (perhaps with a bit of salt) and (preferably) sleep it off.

Incidentally, the hair of the dog remedy is a pretty good way of risking alcoholism.

 

[Victoria Sponge]

Never hair of the dog, but a hearty full English breakfast with a pint of orange juice, followed by lots of water, does it for me.

 

[flaming]

30kts wind over tide in the Solent and a spell on the rail upwind.

Kill or cure....

Why is it that hangovers are easier to acquire, and take longer to cure with age?

 

[Porthandbuoy]

Scopalomine anti-nausea trans-dermal skin patches

or

Co-codamol, caffeine and a BJ

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it

A friend of mine swears by crisps and full-fat coke. Basically salt, sugar and water...

I don't like crisps without a beer and I'm diabetic, so I go back to bed with a jug of water.

Rob.

 

[Spyro]

2 iboprofen and a pint of water before bed (if you remember). Large glass of orange in the morn and 2 weetabix with loads of sugar.

Or anything with vitamin c and sugar. that's where the coke comes in, as long as it's not diet there are 6 teaspoons of sugar in each can

 

[Cymrogwyllt]

alcohol is not the cause of hangovers. Waking up is.
