Also, when drinking neat spirits, exhale immediately before taking a shot. This can help to avoid a hangover.

There's an old Jimmy Buffet tune called "Grapefruit, Juicy Fruit" Add an aspirin or 3 and that's the cure.

Alcohol supresses the production of ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) That's why you piss so much when you drink and you get dehydrated. It also frequently makes you hypoglycemic as it imitates sugars in your blood stream.
Dehydration and hypoglycemia are what makes you so lethargic, not to metion that crud that has accumulated on your tongue and palate.
Grapefruit juice has lots of easily absorbed sugars and water. The acid in it cuts that STUFF that has accumulated in your mouth out and washes it away as well.If you don't like grapefruit, Cranberry will work as well as long as theres lots of acid.

As alcohol wears off, it sometimes causes an inflamatory reaction. This is where the aspirin (or other NSAID) comes in.

Why chewing gum afterwardes tho?

One of the yukkiest parts of a hangover is that taste that keeps coming back no matter how many times you brush your teeth. Chewing gum will take care of that.

However, drinking 1 glass of ice water or soda between each 1-2 alcoholic beverages will help. Also B complex vitamins taken with a meal of carbs will help.

Take 4 Vicodins and an Ambien 1 hour before leaving the house (or prior to your first drink). Lay down to let it work better. Problem solved.

Oh and before you go out drinking, drink lots of water beforehand to keep from dehydration and don't mix your drinks. Stick with the same kind of drink. It will lessen the hangover.

Ice water, ice water, and more ice water. DO NOT pass out. If you believe passing out is inevitable, puke your damn guts out, first. Stop drinking at least an hour (two is better) before going to bed, and then have another big glass of ice water before you do.

Ok. You were a dumbass, and didn't drink your water, so now you actually have a hangover. 2 Advil Migraines, and the juice of a lime in a big glass of, you guessed it, ice water, and back to bed for an hour.

You can also spend 30 minutes running a jackhammer, or laying hot asphalt, and burn the whole thing out of your system in a half hour of absolute misery.

Don't forget to drink non-alcoholic drinks between alcoholic ones.

You have less chance of a hangover if you stick to more pure forms of alcohol - vodka, gin, white wine, and avoid drinks like whisky, sherry, porter, heavy beers, and so on.

Be sure to eat proteins and fat before drinking. Milk is good. Tomatoes are good.

In the morning after try to get some glucose inside you, eat stuff like bananas, something sweet, freshly squeezed fruit juice.

But one of the best hangover cures is sleep.

Status: offline 		Hmmm... Didn't think I'd see this thread before the first of the year. Doesn't seem sporting somehow, but what the hay.

First, the science. A hangover is caused by (drumroll!) dehydration !! I'm pretty sure everyone knows that, but wait, there's more! By keeping the liver busy breaking down alcohol drunkenness reduces the amount of glucose the liver can feed into the blood. Glucose is what the brain runs on, just like everything else and similarly, it don't work so good without it. There are also fermentation byproducts which enhance a hangover. These are most prevalent in darker and cheaper beverages.

To sum up, the science says, stay wet, eat something and avoid the dark colored cheap stuff.

Now, turning away from the science and referring instead to my Military Experience, I can with confidence assert that while there MIGHT be something to the science, it doesn't cover things by half. Everyones' experience differs. No one will cover it all. Here is what I have to throw onto the fire.

1/ There is nothing meaner than a Gin drunk. Double indemnity. It's the juniper berries.

2/ Mixed drinks are good, mixing drinks is bad. If you wouldn't pour them together in a glass, don't pour them together in your stomach.

3/ If there is something you particularly like, it probably likes you too. Everyone is different, and responds to different drinks differently. Go with what you know. Have your 'usual'.

4/ There are no winners in a drinking contest. 'nuff said.

5/ Be willing to take a Cab. It could be the best money you ever spend. That goes double for the Ladies, who should ask the driver to watch you through your front door.

Aaaaand that seems to be the sum of my advice.

Oh, Yeah, ...try to puke outside. And stay away from the Rosebush. Don't ask.

Actually part of the problem people don't realize is that a hangover is partly due to the fact that you are still drunk, it's just no fun anymore. Not long ago they tested some people the morning after partying and found that even with a good night's sleep they had enough alcohol still in their system to fail a breathalyzer.

Sure there is other chemistry involved, not to mention the blood sugar issue, but the alcohol is still there if your body didn't get rid of it fast enough.

Of course I think they're full of shit with this CONSTANT ounce per hour shit, although it may be a pretty close average. It MUST vary from person to person. However let's say you are lucky and your body gets rid of alcohol twice as fast. Ten shots, for normal people that's ten hours. If you get it down to five hours, well did you sleep five hours ? Say on New year's Eve, how many people crash right after midnight ? So you're up until three in the morning and breakfast is at eight. How many hours is that ????

Hey, I might be a drunk but I think soberly about it, except for those times when................

I didn't know where you are so I had to pervya. I was going to comment on the TIME you were drinking breakfast. If in the US.........

But I guess the time of posting was about 11:13:09 AM so that is not so unusual.

Yup, 6 AM is pretty early for beer, but then it is Saturday. That is what I do on Saturdays. See it all came down to a day in the distant past when the subject came up about working Saturdays. They wanted us to work. I said no, but the other guy agreed for time and a half. They didn't want to pay time and a half ! So I said "You don't have enough money to get me to work Saturday". Too bad for them I didn't need the money.

Since then I do not work Saturdays, I also make no plans ahead of time for Saturdays. I do whatever the hell I want on Saturdays no matter what. I already don't make promises, but I won't even agree to be anywhere, do anything, nothing, on Saturday.

You know it was the sabbath until some Pope came along and fucked it all up.

Other than that my 6 am is anothers 6pm so get a beer is a good call.

A friend swears by this concoction:

1 MG powdered vitamin C
1/2 baking soda
8 oz water

plus a B complex capsule

Status: offline 		A hangover pill called 'blowfish' has been given approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to be sold over the counter. It claims to cure the worst of hangovers in five to fifteen minutes. Dissolve two of the effervescent tablets containing 1,000mg of aspirin(3 tablets), 120mg of caffeine(1 cup of coffee) and a stomach soothing agent, into a glass of water and drink. Purpose of the effervescent tablets is to allow ingredients to enter your system quicker than taking these ingredients separately.

If i know i am going to be drinking heavy duty i make sure to eat in advance and then to drink much water. I also try to remember to drink water after every two or three drinks. A alternative is I switch to drinking beer and clamato and being heavy on the clamato juice. Also something obvious... do not mix types of drinks.

If i over-indulged then clamato juice or hair of the dog next morning. I try to eat and most times can. Typically a burger or pasta. I am fortunate i can eat anytime... before drinking, during drinking, immediately after drinking and most times can eat small quantity of something the morning after. Therefore if opportunity allows i try to score a pizza or burger before going to bed.

There have been a few times in foolish, cocky, invincible younger years where consumption was such that nothing helped. Recall for 18th birthday i purposely slept in a snowbank. I not could handle the warmth of indoors and the spinning room. There was no way i was going to let a girl drink me under the table. What can i say... she kicked my ass! I believe it was the sickest i have ever been. Lesson partially learned :-)
