Beer + saki + whiskey = Massivly hungover RotaryStalker

RotaryStalker

there is none. you might try rehydrating with water and gatorade or start drinking again today. before you drink next time try B1 to help your liver convert the alcohol and coat your stomach with milk or something like that.

It's too late now, but by far the best hangover "cure" is to drink a couple of pints of water before you go to bed the night before...

Failing that, plenty of fluids and some powerful painkillers. (I recommend codeine ;))

There really is no "cure" per se - by the time you wake up the dehydration damage has already been done. Best you can do is either stop it from happening in the first place (see above) or mask the symptoms while your body is busy repairing itself...

Best way to beat a hangover... stay drunk! ;)

For really bad nausea and headache the morning after:

lots of water.
apple sauce (easy on the tummy) with an anti-motion sickness pill like Dramamine.
Once nausea is gone, a handful of Advil.

has always worked for me. ;)


Edit: ok, maybe not a handful of Advil but you get the point...

the night before it sets in... lots of water, and 8 advil.

i usually take a shower and just eat something light and LOTS OF WATER.

Advil is ibuprofen right? That's pretty good but you can't beat codeine - generally hard to get here but I still have a few from when I had a nasty toothache a while ago. It's a relative of morphine.

Avoid acetaminophen/paracetamol for hangovers because it's particularly hard on the already-battered stomach and liver... the common brands in the US are Tylenol and Pain-Away I think.

Water, lots and lots.

Vitamin B.

Asprin.

DO NOT DRINK ORANGE JUICE!!!

Dry(ish) toast if you feel the need.

Sleep.

Ok, I threw up.. that seemed to help.. now does anyone the best way to get vomit off the keyboard?

RotaryStalker

edit never ever mix your drinks. beer, saki and whiskey? no wonder you ralphed. next time stick with beer or saki or whiskey not a combination.

The old adage..."Beer before liquor, never sicker. Liquor before beer, never fear." Has to do with being able to tell when you've had enough, heh.

Excedrin + lots of water works wonders for me for hangovers.. It's a combo of aspirin and acetometaphin with just a dash of caffiene.

Alka-Seltzer; before you go to bed and water. I was in a place where I could't get any water, so I tried Alka-Seltzer with a sprite. Took care of my H/O right away.

What's saki like? I have never had it before. It is rice alcohol right? What does it compare too?

-JiM

Get that pedialyte stuff for kids its the ultimate hydrator and tastes pretty decent.

full english breakfast and a big cup of tea!

thats the best thing in the worl for a hangover!

Too late now but you should have had another shot of whiskey this morning.

I would say to pay attention to what types of beer or liquor you are drinking. With me, my system can't handle anything ice, and depending on the brand I either experience extreme dehydration, or with others it's 2 day migraines.

So I know for myself:

12-15 Newcastles/Dos Equis = Good Times/No Hangover

1-2 Icehouse = Debilitating 2 day migraine

lamb. the water and pain killers the night before you sleep definitly a shower(especially after the puking). lots of water now that your awake and have puked. but i got to tell you i went to this 3 day conference in seattle a couple of years ago and had a really bad hangover thru the morning classes. at lunch they had a bunch of grills setup outside and i went right for the lamb and after just a couple of small pieces i was feeling much better.

as long as the pain killer is NOT tylenol,. LOL. Tylenol + Alcohol = BAD

I'll try and put this to rest.

I am in the medical field and have actually had several discussions with Clinicians regarding this.

There really is no "cure" for a hangover, however, you can prevent one.

The trick, take a 1 ounce shot of NyQuil before you go to sleep. The only way this won't work is if you are too wasted and pass-out, forgetting to take your medicine!

First, NyQuil has Acetaminophen. That will pretty take care of any headaches or upset stomach. Second, it has Pseudoephedrine. This will actually open up your capillaries causing your heart to pump a little harder clearing out the alcohol in your blood a little quicker. Finally and most important, it has anti-dehydrators. The main cause of a hangover is the alcohol (no matter what kind) pulls the water out your body, this is why you have to piss a lot more when you are drinking. Drinking water may help a little but the best approach is to stop loosing the water in the first place. NyQuil prevents this.

This all may sound crazy, however, I pretty much won't have more than a couple drinks if I don't have any NyQuil at home. I buy the stuff in the family size at CostCo.

Also, every person who is pretty drunk that has taken this stuff before they go to sleep has thanked me in the morning. They all have been surprised at how well this works.

Just last weekend, we were all in a cab coming home from a night out and my roomate asked the cabby to pull over at a 7-Eleven just so he could pick a small bottle of NyQuil! He won't drink without it!

The night time sniffing, sneezing, coughing, aching, how the hell did I did I fell asleep on the kitchen floor medicine?:D ;) :p

Plus you get an additional alcohol shot.:D . I'll have to give it a shot next time out. The night time version, right?

wheres the fun in that attitude! eh?

Lots of good tips here.. I'll try the nyquil one Dugless (tonight.. muhahahaha)... thanks everyone

i agree. have a western omlette with some hash browns(with katsup), sausage, bacon and white toast and butter. wash it down with some java or your favourite beverage. perhaps a beer to start yet another day? :D

Rotary, Welcome to the over 40 club - we just can't drink like we
used to. :(

On a serious note, be careful about taking any pain killers while drinking. You can actually do some damage to your liver pretty easily. Even if it's something you only do once.

Taco Bell (anything will do) and a Large Mountain Dew...........

If you can eat all of that the next morning there is no way you drank enough! :o

Topical joke...

Marty wakes up at home with a huge hangover.

He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees are a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table.

He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. Marty looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So's the rest of the house.

He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table, reading

"Honey, breakfast is on the stove.
I left early to go shopping.
Love you!"

He goes to the kitchen and sure enough, there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating.

Marty asks, "Son, what happened last night?"

His son says, "Well, you came home after 3 a.m., drunk and delirious. Broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door."

Confused, Marty asks, "So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?"

His son replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you yelled, 'Lady, leave me alone, I'm a married man'!"

Alright, here's the trick. Drink as much water as you do alchohol, you'll NEVER have a hangover if you do that. I, and several of my friends, have tried and tried to debunk this...

To the "medical" person in a former post who was suggesting Nyquil- How in the world is Nyquil going to help AFTER you have already urinated all of the water you can out of your system? Seems to me that little bit of Nyquil won't make up for all of the water that isn't there...

Finally, I'd like to note me and a number of my friends have NEVER had a hangover. We ALWAYS drink as much water as alchohol. This is even after 4 - 32oz Malt Liquors(Olde English). I never did it, but someone challenged my friends that you cannot drink a gallon of OE and not have a hangover...that person lost the bet.

thats not true IMHO. if i were to drink too much the night before i found that having a big breakfast the next day helps.

Uhmmm as I'm also in the medical profession, and I totally disagree with the above statement. Acetamenophen (Tylenol) and Alcohol use the same metabolism pathway in the liver. This is why there is auxillary labels on pain killer that state "Do not use alcohol product while on this medication". If you wanna be a cheap drunk, take some tylenol b4 drinking, you'll be drunk much faster.

I'm always on the look out for a new hang over cure so my roomate and I tried the Nyquil trick. Didn't work... sorta. I didn't drink a whole lot as I had to wake up early the next day. I didn't have a hang over but I was soooo sloooowwww and still felt drunk.. My roomate drank more than I and when I asked him how he felt he said he didn't feel too hung over, but instead felt like he did when he drank a whole bottle of nyquil in high school. So it seems like it just masked the hang over with another type of drunkeness.

A buddy of mine swears that taking a B-Complex vitamin helps him... The nyquil preventative I'll probably pass on due to the liver issues and next day fog.

Anyone ever heard of Revivor? I believe it's sold in Australia. A friend of a friend who bartends in NYC says it works well. Not sure if it's the same stuff they advertise now that I believe starts with a C.

Secret:

Take two tablets of Carafate before you go out.. Carafate "deactivates" your stomach lining. Basically for a few hours it will keep it from absorbing anything, including alcohol. It is used to ease the stomach and should be taken on an empty stomach.

One catch, it not OTC, so you'll have to get it through your local pharmacist with a doctor's prescription.

I don't know of any OTC equivalent, but some people have told me OTC acid-reducers can give the same effect, but I'm doubtful. You could try though...

I tried it with the same result. I was drowsy the entire next day. Had to take three naps (Usually, I'm good with one). Had better luck with the Alka-Seltzer bit.

I can second this one... This does work, the only problem is being dedicated enough to pull it off. You get awfully full, (especially if your drinking beer) and the drunker you are the easier it is to forget. But it does work.

Let's clarify this a bit... you guys must be talking about beers and cocktails, because I'm pretty certain this can't apply to hard liquor... which has higher levels of achohol.

I can't see a pint of water holding back a hang-over from a roughly equivalent amount of 10 shots of hard liquor...

Ohhhh, yeah I drank about 10 shots of tequilla last night and had 10 shots of water before bed and I feel like shit warmed over. I think I'll try 8oz of water per shot which would be 80oz, but wouldn't I then be at risk for drowning?

RotaryStalker

yeah, thats why its tough to keep up with. Full glass of water with every drink, shot, beer whatever....

----JiM

there are a couple hang over cure pills floating around now... One of my co-workers orded a bottle of the stuff the KGB developed during the cold war, he absolutely swears by it. He is still sleepy from staying out until 4 am on a work night but he is never hung over, headachey or nauseas.

here is an article on the goods.

Anyone see a problem with this thread on a sportscar forum...? :o

Anyway - 1 shot tequila and wash it down with 2 quarts of Gatorade and 2 aspirin. Cheers!

And keep 8 hours between the bottle and the throttle. Better yet, 24.
