Hangover Pills

eirebhoy

I was readding in the Star about new tablets which you take before you go drinking and you shoudn't get a hangover the next day. Here is the site:

Do you think they are any use?

Since there is a lot of hangover pills around and this one has got a review in a newspaper I'm sure it must be OK.

Hangovers are largely caused by dehydration to your body.

Will this pill magically rehydrate you?

don't want a hangover?
don't drink.
pretty rich coming from someone who is currently half shot at the moment, but this is the downfall of your short term euphoria.

the advice from a seasoned drinker is to make sure you have eaten properly before you start drinking, stay away from spirits and mixers and pace yourself.
responible drinking will leave you groggy. hangover cures are a myth. the only thing that will get rid of a hangover is time, or if you're impatient, more alcohol.

I've two of the Lifeline Hangover Pills but never took them before a night out. Off the drink now for a while.. cash is really low and leaving my job for a few weeks due to college committments so i've to save!

Oh.. and sister got some hangover pills last year on EBay IIRC (yes, i know.. very safe.. was expecting some kind of roofie myself) but apparently, they're quite decent. Think they're Mexican branded.

Water. All you need to do is drink loads of water.

Alka Seltzer before you hit the sack is a miracle worker. I used to be concerned that it only "worked" because you need to be semi-sober to remember to take them when you came in; but I tried it when I was off my face a while back, and still woke up feeling great in the morning. (The gf has confirmed my shítfacedness on the occasion.) It may not cure it completely, but it's never far off, and it's a damn sight better than without.

TIP: Put a packet on the floor inside the door, or somewhere you'll automatically go when you come in. (In my case next to the computer, where it serves the additional purpose of reminding me not to post on Boards when I'm sozzled. Again.) If you fail to take them before bed, take them as soon as you wake up, it'll still help.

Mickey is right too of course, so have a good lash of water too before you sink into the bed.

Oh I take those lifeline tablets and they are really brilliant!
I really suffer with hangovers, but these things are miracle cures.

Hangovers are due to poor alcohol (methanol, ethyl acetate, cogeners etc) and dehydration. Drink a QUALITY vodka (smirnoff red is crap, the budweiser of vodkas, don't fall for the marketing or the high price, which is only due to the marketing costs). Drink something like skyy with plenty of water.

Took those Lifeline tablets before and made me worse the next day! Didht agree with my stomach at all and made me sick all day after, wasnt the drink as i didnt go on a mad one.

Can't beat 2 panadol and a pint of water to cure a hangover IMO... And maybe a brekkie roll

rubadub

Breakfast rolls have a good scientific reason! if you are severely dehydrated and ate nothing your stomach will be full of acid and bile ( the yellow/green dry retch pukes!). Bile dissolves fats, so if you have a lot of greasy food it neutralises the bile, also gives the acid something to digest, and gives you a good energy boost.

Yes, with the Star being a highly respected medical journal, it has to be true.

liflines are ****e. i took two of tem lasst friday nigt. and i woke up wit te biggest hedache ever the next morning. 3 yoyos as well for **** sake.

I don't even remember opening this thread.

I remember hearing on the radio one time that the reason stuff like brekkie rolls work is because they have salt in them. When you're dehydrated you need a combination of water and salt, that's why if you go to hospital suffering from dehydration they hook you up to a saline drip.

Whatever those things they sell in Boots, strips or tablets or something. Apparently they work quite well.
Few mates of mine bought some before a sesh and they worked. You take one before you start drinking, and another about 45 minutes into the drinking. Something along those lines anyway.

Failing that, if you need water and salt, would a swim in the sea not help some? Course swimming in the Irish/Atlantic sea while hungover is quite possibly impossible. Heh, possibly impossible.

Wasn't there something on the news recently about some new french product, its a small drink, you take it before drinking (or is it after?) and it prevents hangover?

It was on RTE News so there must be some level of truth to it.
