Me realising ive wasted the entire day hungover:o:rolleyes:

I actually think they enhanced the hangover! Do these actually work for anyone?

BrokenArrows

ya they don't do much at all.

I think they are more designed to help with a mild groggy feeling after you had a few pints rather than actually curing a major drinking session.

Hackysack

Use the money you'd spend on the lifelines to get some proper painkillers for the morning sure.

I hear Berocca works wonders.

Hande hoche!

Yep those yokes are apparently designed for moderate drinking.Better spending your change on stuff for a fry.

'Contains active charcoal!!!'

It has charcoal in it for christ sake! A mate tried to convince me these were a good idea on a trip to Munichs beer halls, I was on the big white telephone in the 12 bed shared hostel bathroom all night long talking to....

i could use a hangover cure right about now....

dying....

just felt sorry for myself while reading the thread,.

I'm fairly sure they're just a placebo. You may really have overdone it last night.

I find the best way to cope is to drink about a litre of water before you go to bed. It's not perfect, but it generally deals with the headachey side of things, and groggy/tired I can cope with.

That's funny - I hear moderation is a fantastically boring way to spend an afternoon..

Hows the saying go? "everything in moderation. ESPECIALLY moderation."

Ya need to cut loose and let the hair down sometimes. I've been doing the whole moderation thing for a few months - gonna go mental tomorrow though. Red breast whiskey ftw!

cherubaul

plenty of water before bed.
isotonics in the morning with panadine for head and motillium for stomach. then breakfast roll from dunnes and i'M elected.

connundrum

The charcoal in them just rip the throat out of you.

They haven't worked for me at all, neither does moderation tbh. Abstinance is your best bet

I find that drinking a shitload of water during the night/before I go to bed tends to prevent hangovers almost entirely no matter how much I drink. Any sort of cure that you take the next day is too little too late, and entirely unnecessary. I've tried the lifeline thing and I didn't get a hangover but I also drank plenty of water so...

Try a mug of vodka when you wake up.

seanybiker

im having a couple a cans now while i nod off after last nights birthday celebrations. Only cure is more beer. Ill feel sick but will sleep through it. Hopefully lol

neurophen plus ftw.

sweet sweet codeine

Sleipnir

3 pints the morning after.

Alcohol is the killer to a productive society. It leads to health problems, ugliness (fat and worn out features), loss of a considerable sum of money, laziness the day after.

Sex is a healthier alternative to alcohol, and certainly does not require alcohol to be achieved when single.

You people make me sick

Nothing like sitting on a high horse when your being sanctimonious is there?

banshee_bones

yeah a friend bought those lifeline supplements before. useless. Berroca before you go to bed or a pint of water and some neurofen usually does the trick. Oh and another berocca when you wake up! I find im usually grand after that! Oh and dont forget the major feed the next day too!

Happy Drinkin' !

This is the truth. Maybe throw in a neurofen plus or 5 and a glass of andrews/alca seltzer.

I find that if I sleep well I'm generally not too bad. I normally end up waking up really early though for some reason after a night on the razz

krudler

Berocca in a pint of water and another pint afterwards, eat something like bread or cereal before sleep and repeat next morning, havent had a full blown hangover in years

I must not drink. Drink is the mind-killer. Drink is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I've found there is some truth to this. They certainly eased the stomach upset. Didn't do much for the headache though.

2litres of water minimum before bed and you're sorted.

They do work for me. My hangovers have been getting worse and worse as I've gotten older. I really really suffer, from not even being able to keep water down, trembling, splitting headache..everything. I've felt so bad sometimes that it took 'til 11pm before I could keep anything down at all. I was at the stage where if I'd only had a few drinks I'd feel unwell the next day. When I discovered Lifeline I was at the verge of giving it up altogether.
Now, when I go out, I have two capsules an hour after my first drink, then if i'm still drinking seven drinks later, I take another two. I drink the odd pint of water too. I don't want to sound gross, once I go the the toilet the next morning (a no. 2), I feel a whole lot better.The charcoal absorbs the toxins and you pass it out of your body, the sooner I go the quicker I feel right.
I'd also recommend 4head-those little menthol things you rub on your forehead for headaches. Brilliant for hangover headaches, especially if your stomach's too shaky for tablets.

Sounds like you're doing an ad for them. :pac:

JoeSchmoe

A berocca or rubex or similiar tablet in a pint of water before you go to bed, works a treat for me, it's not like you jump out of bed full the joys but it's a lot better than nothing

That's just my experience, I still have to limit the amount I drink and make sure i drink lots of water too, but if i forget to bring them out with me i know I'll be guaranteed a hangover. Two of my friends took them once and felt worse the next day than they usually did so maybe they don't suit everyone.

Lol.

Activated Charcoal binds to alcohol and prevents absorption. If Lifeline lessens your hangover it's because they made you get less drunk....

Manic Moran

Assuming you're too drunk to remember to drink water before passing out, the best solution we've found so far is to get your buddy to hook you up with an IV with a saline drip. Hangover's completely gone in about ten minutes. Not sure about the availability of such in an Irish chemist's, though.

Feck maybe you're right, I thought it binded to toxins of some sort. The last night out I had with a mad friend, vodka and strawberry daiquiris, I know I took them 'cos the empty sachets were still in my bag, I could barely remember the night before. I was tired the next day, but was fit to travel to Newry and have lovely grub in the Quays. Normally, I'd be dying all day. They actually contain lots of vitamins too - A,C,B3,B5,B6,B1,B2,folic acid,biotin, B12, calcium and magnesium so that probably helped. Btw I also took a Zantac tablet for my stomach early the next morning.:)

They work for me, if they make me less drunk that's fine too. Being drunk is no real fun, being tipsy is. If someone could invent a drink that made you feel good, you know the moment. A couple of pints or glasses of wine in, they would make a fortune.

Beroccas seems to work as well. Drinking a couple of litres of water may work but to be honest, depending on what I'm drinking plain, water makes me sick.

If lifeline works by letting you drink all night and not get drunk. They get my vote!

No they wouldn't. It'd be only stocked by head stores and banned if it got any media attention.
