it cures chipped nails!?!?! WOW, gotta try that one day. LOL

Hey it is New Years Eve. Drink plenty of water and eat good today before you guys party down! Don't get too drunk and sloppy.

I keep refreshments such as Cracker and Cheese supplied to my guest and alternative drinks so they can have something in between. I know it may not cure hangovers but a least it keeps my guest from starving...

I make sure I have heaps of pasta before a big night of drinking - it surely helps your hangover the next morning!

Ok This is a thread from last year that a few may add to.

I know I will have a few on New Years Eve.

Just reminding people of a few Hangover myths.

any other remedies that you can think of besides of not drinking at all?

Curious of what seems to help some people.

Have fun with this thread.

That is one I do agree with. Re hydration. I also Drink water in between drinking alcoholic beverages not in each one but randomly.

Dehydration is one the factors of a hangover.

This is actually true, because alcohol dehydrates the body. I'm not sure if it helps the hangover by preventing it?

At any rate, if one is unfornate enough to be hungover, they should eat a balance meal of carbs and protein. I think there's something to blood sugar regulation that causes the hangover. Alcohol tends to make someone hypoglycemic (it does my Mother). The theory is that if you can raise your blood sugar and keep it level, you'll suffer less. Carbs will raise the blood sugar and proteins will help level it.

I rarely drink, though. If someone is brave enough to try it, let me know what you think!

That's true but drinking lots of water the next day while hung over with vomiting doesnt help!

Few weeks ago, I had too much to drink and sure enough, I had a BAD hangover. It wasn't fun at all, ha.

Yes, Drinking water between taking these alcoholic beverages helps and also eating something before you drink helps too.

Yes drinking lots of water before bed and in between drinks helps with the hangover effect.

Alcohol is both a suppressant and it dehydrates your body.

Water encourages you to wake up often in the middle of the night to urinate. When you do wake up to urinate, drink more water thus the intensity of the hangover is much less.

The worst thing you can do while having a hangover is to sleep in. You want to keep mobile & active.

Some people were talking about the Anti Hangover pill you can take before you drink.

But the instructions is Drink plenty of Water when you take it.

Go figure!

Yes, that would be the best remedy.

But you can not have a remedy,if you don't have a cause.

hang over cured!!

this is a guirented cure for a hangover.
1 bottle of orange gaterade
1 prenatle vit.
one packet of bc powder(you can use goodies if you cant find bc)
one packet of emergan-c

take gaterade and take a couple of drinks from it then add the emergan-c to the bottle. shake like hell
put bc (or goddies) powder on your toungue along with the prenatle vit. and wash down with gaterade concocktion.
wait 4 min.
have a brite and hangover free day!

the bc powder clears out the headach
the gaterade adds electrolites that you lost
the prenatle vit. slowly replaces all of the vit and min. that you lost cus you drank
and the emergan-c helps deliver the vits that you need on an express train till the prenatle can kick in

learned this trick while stationed with the marine corps.

Moderation is the answer. I only got really hungover once in college and I've never done it again. It's miserable!

I used to be a heavy drinker, I'd wake up the next morning hungover as hell, then I'd drink some more so my head would stop hurting. Not brightest idea coming from a drunk, lol.

I finally said enough is enough, no more alcohol. So I stopped drinking, but not without a few relapses. Now I've been dried out since 2007. Aside from the Jack Daniel's I had last night with mom, I've not drank any, and I can't remember the last time I was hungover, and that can only be a good thing!

Fresh squeezed fruit and vegtables juice and a very greasy breakfast full of protein. Works wonders. The juice is full of vitamins and the greasy high protein breakfast balances out the excess sugars from the alcohol consumption. Works wonders!
