    Drink the good stuff, as in spirits. Wine can give a killer hangover, beer and cider just as bad, but nothing worse than too much gin.
    Water is good before bed and all the next day. Food before you hit the sack too.
    A shower in the morning clears the head some. Orange juice and a light feed, whatever you like. A joint if you've got nothing to do. Red Bull can help also.
    To be honest the best thing for dealing for a hangover is if you have things to do. It's a distraction from the suffering.

    The next day, I find some water, a ****, a spliff and a can will kill any hangover.

    Drink a berocca or in my case - the cheap aldi alternative before bed to rehydrate, same thing in the morning if you can stomach it, I find eggs always help a hangover too oddly so if possible a bita scramble to start the day, then it's a case of the three golden steps to ridding yourself of any hangover - SSW

    Shít

    Shower

    **** - preferrably sex but when you've a head on you like Kerry Katona trusty aul righty'll do :)

    The guy puts in a lot of effort to share his finding, which I personally find interesting, and your contribution is that lame attempt at humour.

    Go away. And take your stupid Superman avatar with you.

    Slightly weird one which I didn't add... I can't get a hangover from Fosters. My only conclusion is because I've been drinking it since I was 12 so I have some sort of immunity to it now.

    PS Bring back Fosters Ice!

    9. Caffeine

    I have no explanation for this one, but I've found a coffee greatly helps cure a hangover headache. I know coffee dehydrates you, but it really helps me.

    Result 9: Drink a coffee the next morning.

    Ah yes. Caffeine is a pain killer in its own right.

    I read somewhere years ago - and apologies if this isn't actually true, that headaches are caused by either brain waves being too fast or too slow - more often than not after drink they're too slow so caffine speeds up the aul brainwaves and relieves the thunderous pain you feel is going to kill you.

    Either way, I've always maintained from this that you've more than a 50/50 chance of sorting out your head with a coffee

    To be fair I gave it a disclaimer!! :)

    Have you ever had a cup of coffee that's made your hangover worse? because I have, just the once - going by that brilliant logic, my original point makes perfect sense :D

    And the world is flat...dumbass!! :pac:

    10. Drinking a full bottle of white wine followed by two bottles of red makes you fall on the sitting room floor and puke sideways. But at least the hangover is not as bad as the nagging you get the following morning from the wife.

    Lesson learned: Don't get married


    I wouldn't know of course.

    Actually most hangover headaches are due to dehydration, your brain is 75% water and very susceptible to lack of hydration. Try drinking a pint or two of water before retiring and another one when you wake up, it will do a world of good.

    My personal hangover cure is a litre or two of Coconut Water, it not only hydrates you but replaces all the electrolytes you piss out during your drinking session (calcium, sodium, magnesium and potassium). Try it.

    Another cure which will be much less popular is exercise. Sweats the alcohol out and gets your metabolism going. Yeah, I knew it wouldn't be popular.

    I am 26 and thankfully have only had two real hangovers in my life so far.

    I usually spend €100 to €130 on alcohol alone on a night out and would have about 6 or 7 completely different drinks including various shots of tequila, sambuca, jager etc...

    I think I might be a machine... dry mouth is usually the only bad side affect to a binge for me..

    You should probably try to avoid paracetamol based products, they'll just put more strain on your liver which is probably slightly fecked already after a night of drinking

    Maybe for the caffeine substitute Monster. It really does the trick! Got me out of a few sticky situations where I just wanted to crawl back to my comfy bed and sleep for a decade. I don't do hangovers well.

    Although Erdinger Dunkel. Beautiful beer and hardly any hangover........s'true!

    :eek: Can't say that's ever happened to me!

    I find there's no logic at all to whether I get a hangover or not. Can drink loads and be fine one time and the next time have a few and feel crap the next day. I defnitely know to avoid drinking wine all night though, worst type of hangover ever
