Hungover in work

So I made the obvious mistake. Was ''forced'' out last night to watch the Arsenal game. Got home at 3 this morning...........was an hour and a half late for work. I feel like absolute death. I'd give a week's wages just to be able to be in bed, I really really would. To make it worse I had a breakfast roll on the way up the road to the office and I have a funny feeling I am going to see it again.

This is not the first time this has happened obviously, BUT I need HONEST suggestions to get me to 530. Why do people keep ringing me for **** sake? 7 up is not working like it normally does. How the **** did I end up staying out till 3? Last orders in the pub were at 1130...............HOW HOW

Have you taken headache tablets? Drink water or tea, try take a sneaky nap!


Oh and eat mints, they're meant to settle your stomach

Dragan

As one of those annoy cnuts who doesn't get hangover i have no pity for you!

In other news, get your hands on something like lucozade sport or Powerade or something with electrolytes in it......largely the cause of a hangover is electrolyte lose.

That's the ticket for me... especially with those squeezy nozzle bottles.

If you are that bad, sit on the jacks, close your eyes and get a nap. No one questions long periods of time spent on the jacks.

Lil' Smiler

Yeah Lucozade Sport or a nice sugary cup of tea

L1011

Irn Bru. Walkers crisps (they're no tayto but they're way saltier). Sorted.

Have a jam bon and a bottle of lucozade, and two dissolvable solpadeine, and if you are near a chemist get some barocca.




If you were at home I would recommend the four s's

Something to eat, A ****e, Sex and Sleep....

Vitamen C
Preferably the stuff you disolve in water
Replaces all the lost electrolites

No use to you now but the best way to prevent a hangover is loads of water before you go to bed. As much as you can handle. It always works for me!
For the moment though why did you go into work in the first place? You should have just pulled a sickie.

RxQueen

less than 6 hours left (i think!), skip lunch and take a nap.

jester77

This is what sick days are for, you should have stayed in bed... amateur

Niiiiiice! Go home, its the only answer, you've done well to last this long, although you're prob not in long

andyl222

lucozade sport, followed by hot soup.... works a charm I swear.

halfinch

If you could handles it, go to one of those tanning places book a 20min session and go for a little nap, aw tis lovely when youre as sick as a small hospital

boneless

Get drunk again to avoid the effects of the hangover... simple!:p

biko

Take a break, walk outside for a while. Fresh air usually clears my head anyway.

Mossy Monk

Why not go home sick?

Duiske

I'm not expert , but a couple of oranges (or tangerine's), followed by a few cups of very sweet tea. Failing that, its almost lunch, so hair of the dog ??

I was drinking vodka with that red lucozade last night, not the answer I am afraid. Cant go home, the ol fella is off work and he is not happy with me as it is. From what my mother told me I ate two of those microwave steak & kidney pies when I got in and I tried to listen to my pink floyd cd.............no recollection of that whatsoever

joe_chicken

Not the red lucozade, but the orange lucozade sport.. it's not fizzy so good on the stomach...

If you're getting sick though, it may be too late!

I don't envy you, I got sick in a bin in work once...

hangover+work = "stay in bed", these days.

Dart, then a 15 minute walk. Someone suggested that I get a burger, I want to punch that person.

Ic-cream is best cure for hang-over i think. Drinking plenty of water will also help, but the first option is the best

Nip off to the jacks, have a **** and drift off for a nap in the rosy after glow.

omg I just burst out laughing and drew attention to myself because of this. but I'd be afraid to have a heart attack by attempting the above

Potential-Monke

Good, you didn't drive, all good! The only cure i ever got or a hangover was the hair of the dog... Just one drink, even a half a one would do...

Defo sly off and have a ****. Its the bees knees for hangovers

Quality

There must be some sort of aphrodisiac hormone released from your body once the hangover kicks in,

Not matter how sick or horrible I feel...... I always am ready for a bit of action!!

If your stomach is unsettled, then look after that first. No point in taking painkillers for the headache if you're gonna pebble-dash the jax with them later.

Believe it or not, a milk-shake is pretty good for the aul hangovers. It's cold, sweet, and milk based (so it'll ease your stomach a bit). After that then whack a few nurofen into you for the pain. Keep sipping loadsa water and by 4.00pm all you'll have to worry about is the lack of sleep.

I betcha you'll get home at about half past 6 and won't even go to bed, and won't even go to bed, just sit there staring at the TV like a zombie.

Probably, but I have to get over the worst first. I puked up my coffee with the roll so I do not want anything milk based. I havent been this bad in about a year.......

Vit C will aid uptake, but unless your getting in a source of sodium and potassium with it then it ain't gonna do much i believe?

You're over the worst of it, plain sailing from here in.

Come 5.30 you'll be that thirsty you'd drink a pint of Guinness though a gypos sock.

I'd be a bit concerned about where the rest of it went.

+1 here!

Though I did manage to get into work only 20 minutes late. Seemingly I did a bit of heckling in the Laughter Lounge last night and became the brunt of some comedian's jokes. Oh the mortification. I'm ruined!

unicorn2

Eat tomatoes!

wutra

in the same boat as you here brother, i feel your pain. I hear that eating a raw potato is the frogs nuts for hangovers. never tried it myself!!!

gonna go home in half an hour and have a nice ham sandwhich and a good dirty dump, hopefully that will help.

I backed Newcaslte last night and fell when I stood up on my chair to shout when they scored the equaliser, like right onto my back! Equal that sir.

My colleagues in work are annoying me on purpose for the crack, offering me chocolate etc, ****.... For **** sake, they are blasting that song'''had a bad day'' from youtube. I can see the funny side but I am unhappy. I am lucky however that the director is off the rest of the week.

I've never been seriously hungover at work, thank the Lord. In general though, when hungover, I cannot eat. I generally just sit/lie there, feeling sorry for myself. Might sip some water. Then the inevitable comes and I'm sick. After that, it's more water and some tea. Once I've been sick I'm over the worst. Then I start to feel hungry so I eat something - nothing too heavy now. Then it's uphill from then on. Pity it takes the whole bloody day for it to pass though!!

Used to that myself because it was too much effort to get out of bed! You just feel worse until you get sick but I get out of bed straight away now and force some sort of food into my stomach and go get some lucozade sport. Usually feel better before 1pm that way!

General sick feeling has been replaced by a headache.

To be 100% honest, I am going to go to the Brefini in Blackrock for 2 pints of Guinness to fix me up. Any tag alongs are welcome.
