    In my experience you can't beat a good greasy fry. However there are hangovers and there are hangovers.

    If you're really proper ****ed and can't even look a greasy runny egg in the eye then you're screwed until your stomach lets you drink again. At which point whiskey is your only option. Unless you can stomach a couple oysters. The oyster, in my experience, is my Hail Mary pass if all else fails and some bastard forces you out of your bed.

    FYI if you're looking at this thread while hungover then go here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=editoptions and at the very bottom there's an option to change the forum skin. Change it to black. Suddenly your phone isn't lighting up like crazy every time your poor cold dead eyes want to read a thread to get you through the next couple minutes of dry-heaving, internal crying and self-doubt.

    If you can stomach it. You will be as right as rain after it.

    Have done this. Think it works because the blood sugar levels are temporarily reset.

    As you said yourself a fry up is your go to man to handle a hang-over. But if you're that bad where you can't stomach a glass of water then there is no other way to deal with it than just dealing with it :)

    Besides the best way to deal with any potential hangover is to get some food after you stop drinking and make sure you get enough sleep. I never understand how guys can be on the piss until 2am then be up at 7am :pac:

    If its just a 'heady' tired hangover. ...A breakfast roll and a bottle of lucozade orange.

    The awful vomity hangover....nothing for that only curling up into the foetal position and questioning your very existence.

    Listen up young fella. It's 2016. I'm not accepting the above in this modern age of science and getting utterly trolloxed. There's a cure out there. I've known nurses to give themselves IV's. I've known fishermen to give themselves raw fish. There's a cure out there for this misery and we shall find it.

    If you've had 11 or 12 pints or more over the evening, then make your last pint a pint of water, and you'll be amazed at just how much of the edge is taken off the next morning.

    If I had 12 pints in an evening it wouldn't matter if I replaced the last drink with a pint of virgins blood, I'd be on hospital causing yet more strife for the heroes who work in A&E. A pint of water wouldn't cure that

    Weed does work wonders as a hangover cure in fairness. Long time since I used it though.

    Speaking as one of the literally millions of boards moderators who have never had sex, having sex more than once in a lifetime is a disgusting waste of resources better spent locking threads.

    Not cure, just mitigation to a certain, useful (as in, you can function reasonably humanly) extent.

    Otherwise just hoof a nice big glass of orange juice in ya.....

    after 12 pints of beer I couldn't find the tap to get a glass of water and probably not my bed and sleep where I fell... someone will be along in a minute to tell me I'm a lightweight, or a whiney bollox or some such,,, :eek:

    Not quickly mind you, I should have said that. I mean over something like 8 or so hours. It's been years since I did anything like that, but the pint of water was the difference between being able to get up to get a breakfast together, and simply killing myself..

    "Cures" (food, water, coffee, painkillers, etc) don't work for me because when I'm hungover, my stomach is far too nauseous to put anything into it. So for me, there are no cures - the only cure is time. And my hangovers can last for days. It's a special kind of hell.

    So jealous of all those people who claim to have their hangovers cured by eating junk food.

    In fairness, not exactly comparable - you don't "get" a hangover, you give yourself a hangover. You don't give yourself cancer.
