Someone for the love of god please tell me a hangover cure that works, I feel like my face is about to explode :bang:
 
Sorry, not a possibility, I like Scrumpy too much :p
 
Bananas. Plenty of em. In a smoothie with other fruit.
 
Yup - bananas

or a nice fry up :D

Beef Broth soup also works for me

Lots of water and once you have food filling your stomach - orange juice & lemonade
 
Water's working well ATM actually, but I copped out and had a sachet of resolve too lol. Heading for the bath in a minute then pulling my warm stuff on and going out with my camera, so that should wake me up a fair bit!
 
Bacon sandwich with lashings of brown sauce :D mmm.
 
Take a multi vitamin tablet....a fry up, lots of water and a painkiller.
 
The cause of a hangover is dehydration due to alcohol absorbing water from the blood.
Therefore the logical cure is water - gallons of it. Just don't expect an instant fix.
 
Apparently pure extra virgin olive oil is good for you - it replaces the oils and fats burnt off by the booze the night before :) (hence the craving for fatty foods the next morning)

dont know if i would be able to stomach it mind you :puke:

p.s. i also reccomend any pain killer with paracetamol, cocodamol and caffine in it :D
 
I drink lots of coke.

I seem to remember from my chemistry lessons at school that the headache is caused by aldehydes. Your body produces aldehydes as a byproduct when it breaks down the alcohol. These aldehydes then concentrate in your brain; they are hygroscopic and absorb water = swelling of brain = headache.

Drinking more alcohol neutralises the aldehydes, releases the water and end of headache.

Don't quote me on that but that's what I seem to remember.
 
I always find that 90 mins of football on a sunday morning gets rid of a hangover!!!
 
Ibuprofen and flat coke.Failing that more Black Rat. :lol:
Pete.
 
I still feel rough now!
 
Actually ,the headache is caused by the brain shrinking because the booze has a diuretic effect and you p#ss away you're fluids.

The brain then shrinks away from the lining and skull.

I once saw comparisons of brain sizes of normal brains and alcoholics brains
And the difference is frightening .

Go on,you say ,that'll take years, the effect is accumulative ,but it takes the brain about a week or two to get over that binge and even a "few"

tinnies in between stops the healing process :eek:


And I believe there is documented evidence that owning a Canon camera is bad for you.
hint hint Guinness = dark side.:naughty:

Click to expand...

Don't drink Scrumpy? If I get drunk on beer alone I have a raging hangover the next day. If I switch after a few pints to JD and coke or vodka and coke I don't have it anything like as bad. I still feel a bit crap but I don't have the blinding headache.

Having said this I'm currently drinking some Belgian rocket fuel (aka Weissbier), so I'll probably feel like death in the morning.
 
Sure there's another massive thread somewhere on hangover cures:thinking:.

I'll recommend beans on toast with a glass of milk again.
 
Just thought I'd add these for anyone who had a heavy night last night. :lol:

When I was younger I used to drink like a fish, and never ever got hangovers.

Now I can't even look at booze without getting a headache!

Lots of water, a warm bath and oranges always worked for me! Avoid caffiene.
 
Run into the sea,in the winter it cures all.:):D:lol:
 
Well I still felt rough when I was getting ready for bed. I'm a bit fluey at the minute so I took some night nurse and that sorted me out within half an hour!
 
Before going to bed after a night on the lash, drink as much water as you can and be prepared to upchuck it. In the morning, drink a bottle or 2 of the still isotonic Lucozade (or any of the flat sports recovery drinks) and more water. Beware of scrumpy - especially if it's too cloudy to see through!
