Cure

[Pete999]

Now is the time of year for making merry, to much booze to much food, on the booze front, has anyone got good ideas for a hangover remedy, forget the usual one "don't drink to much" I'm looking for the cure for the worst kind of hangover, you know the one, you wake up full of good intentions, not want to spoil everyone Christmas, only to spend the best part of the day with your head down the big white tube talking to God "oh God never again" only for some idiot to say " what you need mate is the hair of the dog" the vicious circle starts all over again, so come on, spill what's your best remedy?

Quite simply the oldest and the best.Plenty of BED followed by a hearty english breckie.

There is no cure, only prevention. Know your limits and stick to them.

I stopped being able to hack a huge session in my early 30s. A heavy Friday can mean a completely written off Saturday for me.

And on that note I'm off out for a 2pm start on a Christmas beer. If I find myself in a curry house at 3am ill be sure to post again and let you know I was talking a load of baubles.

I try to drink a couple of pints of water before bed and taking 2 headache tablets. When I remember to do this I'm generally fine. If I don't remember then I'm generally too drunk.

My Lad got really scunked at a wedding once, looked like death warmed up in the morning My Mrs gave him a "RESOLVE" Tesco's do their own brand it's sort of Alka Selter only better cured him in about an hour. Got my supply in.

drink real ale. never had a hangover on 10 pints. ( and that was with a dozen double JDs as chasers ). mind you, the MOD want my stomach lining for a prototype bullet proof vest for the army.

Never tried it personally, friend of mine swears by having a sachet of dioralyte in the morning.

If nobodys heard of it, it's sold as a dehydration relief from diarrhea.

It's got electrolytes that alcohol robs your body of for liver detox as alcohol is poison literally. Something like berocca as a last drink before bed will give you the B vits and electrolytes that you loose in dehydration.
Dr I worked with would have a Vit B complex tablet, a cyclizine (antiemetic, sickness)and a codeine for the headache! Bad doctor!
I don't drink now - tons of coffee though.

Don't drink anymore but gave the ball a good kick for many years.
I do think with a lot of people it's an age thing, when I was between 18-25 me and the lads would go on a session every Thursday night to Roxys nightclub in Sheffield as it was grab a granny night and would stumble home blind drunk but still be up and in work for 8am quick greasy sarnie and back to normal.
If I tried that now I really would be done for 3-4 days. My downfall is I am easily lead and don't know when to say stop.

That is the best bet for me, remembering to do it though is the hardest part lol!

avoid hangovers. stay drunk.

 

[Andy78]

Turns out a pint of water and a lamb kebab before bed works wonders

 

[FatAlan]

I stick to real ale and steer clear of the mass produced chemical beers an lagers. Like some above though, I don't drink nearly as much as I used to. Resolve was quite good. Famous last words!

real ale is the answer. it's chemicals that cause the bad hangovers.

When I was a teenager I had some pretty horrendous hangovers after drinking my dads homebrew. He only told me the other day that he stopped brewing it cos my mates and I kept drinking it.
