youthacademy

petes

More beer.

Femelade

just go home sick...does anyone know you were out last nite? if you really have that much of a hangover then you probably look fairly sick too, just say you've got a bug or something..

otherwise just lay low for the day...

you plonker.

Wishbone Ash

I'd prefer to have a hangover at work than to spoil a morning off with one.

pheasantplucker

soluble solphedine. i swear by them. they really do work. and some rubex vit C...

Whatever ya do, dont get sick! Just lay low or sneak off to mcdonalds for hangover food

petes

If your stomach is playing up Andrews Liver Salts or Alka Seltzer. Rubex Vit C do feck all for a hangover.

lol, like the smell of alcohol off him won't be linked with the "bug"? 0_o

petes

Ten pints in five hours = two per hour.

Thats not too bad.

youthacademy

well lads, less of the "drink less in future" comments etc. the fact is we all do it, how does one cope with the mid-week lush up??
i's say your a man to njoy your pints petes are you??

petes

I have been known to have one or two on a night out.

Peter Collins

Best cure is loads and loads of water drank and splashed on face....if you can't stomach a lunch, have fruit and a smoothie or something along those lines.

To get rid of smell of alcohol, use Vicks (30% of alcohol expelled from body through lungs, so food in stomach won't do the trick).

For red eyes, don't use eye drops - makes them worse in my experience.

Avoid pure orange juice - it'll make you feel worse.

Go for a long walk at lunchtime and arrange something good for tonight to help your bad mood....!

and leave as early as possible...

How do you solve a hangover at work? Preemptive strike - don't drink the night before. Now marvel at your lack of hangover.

Dermington

Hah...Hangovers are for the weak. Drink German beer...no hangovers...

i am trying to remember the last time i drank when i had work in the morning, seeing as i do it and all

Find a nice spacious disabled toilet. Lie down and have a nap.

blorg

Alka Seltzer, definately. If you haven't tried it before, give it a go, it is a miracle worker. Sorts the stomach and the headache.

Beyond that, lots of water.

Me too.

Also, it's perfectly ok, just because everyone does it, I guess... :rolleyes:

BFB. Big f*ck-off breakfast roll. And a can of lucozade. (keep a bucket handy)

Pighead

Good morning girls, Happy Friday.
What the fcuks a hangover?

woodyg

do the crime ya have to do the time!
If ya go out during the week and have a skinful ya should expect the hangover in work!

Just dose up on a fruit sugar rush to keep ya going for the day i.e. a smoothy or some ice cream.
Your hangover will more than likely be tiredness induced and a pick up 1st thing in the morning will help

Why not get sick?? I always find I feel better after a good chat with god down the big white telephone.. gets that nasty green stuff that sits on your stomach (well mine anyway) after a bender..

Anyway.. Plenty of water and a roll usually does it for me otherwise.. Good luck shifting it

I'm sure op only meant socially competant beings

Wing Walker

Yep, Alka Selzer is the one for me. It also helps if you can crack a window and just let some fresh air in on you.

Drinking makes you socially competant?
Are you sure you don't want to switch that to 'socially incompetant' :rolleyes:

Sad.

Sympathy for a hangover?????? Oh poor you.

If I don't have Alka Seltzer or Andrews to hand I would be sick. Feel better after it. Another tip. Don't eat a huge lunch. You will be wrecked in the afternoon. Well thats me anyway.

Angels

Alka Selzer probably suggested already.Oh a big dirty fry up that helps ha. I couldn't do it to myself to go into work with a hangover, it's not worth it!!

Not at all mate, just don't be such a smart ass to those of us that do it

Mossy Monk

hold on now. when was i being a smart ass on this thread. do enlighten me

OP made a sweeping statement, all i did was comment that i didnt

[Jackass]

Alka Seltzer, without fail, makes me puke my ring when I'm hungover.

3 times I have taken it hungover...3 times it's made me sick! (well, considering I've only ever got sick from drink 3 times the morning after, all of them were when I took it )

You're one of those 'live to work' kind of people, rather than 'work to live'

Cheer up - even Sir Cliff Richard enjoys a glass of vino or two

You're not in school now

dear oh dear

A glass of wine or two doesn't leave you with a horrible hangover in work.
Drinking 10 pints on any evening is daft, doing it the night before work is just stupid.

Robbo

Find some legitimate "work based" excuse to leave the office. Like going to the bank or to get some office supplies. Failing that, a 20 min nap at lunch, lots of Solpadeine and Gatorade.

Well there's some chick in the personal issues section talking about sniffing dirty panties, try that and I'm sure you'd wake up a bit.....

Personal Issues

Skitbra

Sympathies with you OP. Bacon double cheese burger meal with cocacola works well for me. I'm sure you had a good time though and it was worth it. I love going out during the week.
As for all the righteous saps, shouldn't you be working and not wasting time on here. Go back to work.

THERE IS NO "FAST" LANE, IT'S THE OVERTAKING LANE, YOU MUPPET! GAH!

Love Boards, I just knew the response to this poor hungover sap looking for advice would be half the posters telling him to drink less. Maybe get him a time machine while you're at it.

sioda

As a person who works 6 weekends out of 7 I have to go drinking nites I'm working Personally I find bacon onion and tomato sandwich with loads of mayo sorts out the stomach and the onion goes some way to hiding the smell.

youthacademy

actually "upsfan",wouldn't change it, had a fcuking brill night, sure there was always going to be the few senisibles, the kind that got bullied when they wer in school, going to tell us all to drink less and theres no problem. but sure leave em off if they have nothing better to do

Correct

"Drink less" . . .the usual crapóla!

While you're at it, eat only raw fruit and vegetables, exercise every day and blah blah blah

I'm boring myself at this stage

Get out there and have a few jars and enjoy yourselves...you could be dead tomorrow

Wavey

I try to avoid mid week sessions as I just cant handle them. Some people can but i cant.

Saying this it does happen.

Came in to work dying a few weeks ago after a work do and was given this soluble stuff called Resolve.

It worked a treat.

I'de highly reccommend it.

As above, dont go near pure orange juice no matter how thirsty you are.

Eat a few bananas and some bread to settle the wobbly empty stomach.

Steal a desk fan and leave it blowing at your face to stay awake.

That's a ridiculous comment. I don't drink during the week - I used to frequently - until my brain kicked in and told me drinking during the week is retarded. Bad for your health, bank account, motivation, job prospects etc.

I just keep it for the weekend (although at the moment I'm off the booze altogether.)

But to answer the original question... Drink many pints of water before you sleep. Eat lots of salty food before you sleep. Hangovers are a combination of being dehydrated and having pissed all your salt away. You'll still be poisoned and slightly ill, but you can seriously reduce the pain... You can only prevent the hangover before you go to sleep. There is nothing you can do in the morning except puke...

There a massive differnce, thats a stupid point. Anyone might have one or two a night before work,no-ones denying that. But ten pints, drinking that much knowing you've to get up in the morning is just silly.

And beleive me, I do not live for work....:D

I was enjoying the thread until this point, thats the most ignorant statement in this thread so far. I'm not giving out about your drinking habits, afterall its your personal business, but those of us with common sense regarding our work performance and well being during the working week were not "bullied at school" or posting here "because we've nothing better to do", we are simply pointing out the obvious facts.

As you say you can't go back in a time machine, but at the same time don't fool yourself into thinking "its grand to drink ten pints on a work night". You don't have to be a goody two shoes like you seem to be painting some sensible people in here to value your work prospects and career over a night out.

Now, now, retarded?, somebody else said that drinking ten pints was crazy stuff. OP are you worried about your health, bank account, motivation, job prospects etc. Seriously guys if you don't drink during the week thats grand but lay off the lectures, some of us drink away mid week and enjoy it. I suffer sometimes afterwards but it's never too bad(do the crime, do the time),at least not at my age. Op head down to the shopping centre and get yourself a smoothie, closest thing to the cure for me
