Call me a freak, but I love that

I hate the whole feeling sick thing, but once I'm getting seriously sick, It starts feeling better, and once it's finished...ooohhh the relief, and your stomach feels soooo much better

Then you go and eat a huge tuna roll with really sugary coffee or fried eggs on toast with really sugary coffee. Water is the best thing, but I feel horribly sick for about 20 mins after a pint of water when I'm hungover

Ice-cream and lots of it! That always works for me on the rare occassions I get a hangover (by some great fluke I usually feel fine in the morning regardless of what I did the night before).

Oh and the sooner you get up out of bed and start forcing yourself to do work the quicker you'll recover. Lying in bed all day feeling sorry for yourself will never do you any good.

Drink about a pint of pure orange juice and take 2 Ibuprofen before going to bed.

The orange juice replaces vitamins and minerals lost during the night and Ibuprofen, get this, stops the brain from swelling. Its the best headache cure known to man. You'll wake up next morning fresh as ever but still won't remember a thing.

Some mates of mine swear by "Verve" but I've never tried it.

Funny hangover story:

(A what not to do!)

A couple of years ago during RAG week a friend of mine called up to my house with a 40 oz bottle of Poitín. There were a few of us there and we started working our way through the bottle. We were about 2/3 the way through when another friend called up with a guy he knew. We decided to head down to town to go to the pub so we gave him a key and the end of the poitín.

He finished off the poitín and headed down to town himself. He went into the college bar and had a load of guinness, onto a pub in town for more guinness and some vodka and red bull. Later he went to a night club where he drank more vodka and red bull, a few sambuca and a load of other shots.

When he got home that night he realised that after drinking a concoction like that he'd probably feel like a dead man. So he decided to take an alka-selzer before he went to bed and a couple of paracetemol.

All the lads in his house woke up in the morning to the sound of him roaring and shouting from his bedroom. One of the lads went into his room and he was standing up on the bed shouting I can't move my fúcking hands. They called an ambulance and he was chceked into hospital for the day to recover (and to be laughed at by all his friends).

usually just REALLY tired after a night out, but when i do get the pain, it's orange lucozade sport and loads of cheerios at work. and a panadol before i leave the house.

i also find blowing chunks (chunks is NOT my dog) in the jacks/street/wherever usually sorts out any problems.

I normally wake up about 8/9 in the morning feeling like sh*ite, take 2 solpadene which I put beside the bed the night before along with the glass of water and roll over and sleep for another few hours and wake up feeling great

NEVER, EVER, mix pain killers with booze. teh side effects can be tooo scary.

Na, that's your body's way of saying you got knocked up last night (DISASTER).

...I think I'd remember at least a little of the previous night's procedings if I managed to get knocked up, and my thumping head would be the least of my worries...

But hey, who knows what alka seltzer can cure...

15-20 hard boiled eggs the next morning with water. It works a treat.

I never get hangovers regardless of what happened the previous night, but my friends usually eat about (literally) 4 litres of Ice-cream, usually chocolate mint or raspberry ripple, and they feel fine afterwards...

leeroybrown · 23-02-2002 04:55PM

Sounds disgusting I know:

But that first morning-after trip to the jacks always seems to get the system up and running again.

I've always found that morning sex with my girlfriend or another women, depending on how the night before went, is a great hangover cure. It's fun too, and it leaves you in a good mood for the rest of the day.

leeroybrown · 23-02-2002 05:24PM

Mmmm, morning sex ....

So how about this:

Leave a pint of water beside your bed.
Morning sex.
Morning trip to jacks
Long hot shower (can be combined with Morning Sex or Extra Morning Sex)
Big Fride breakfast with fruit juice.
And of course various drugs for those of you who take morning panadol.

ICE-CREAM........MONSTER MUNCH OR CHIPSTICKS......... AND LOTS OF 7UP

works a treat

Banging someone is the worst thing you can do.
It only makes the headache much, much worse.

Try facing away from the headboard, it may help the headache.

Best cure really is abstinence , but failing that alot of Lucozade works well .I heard about the icecream thing before ,but four litres? ,tbh thats a bit much for any normal person to have at home , unless you live in a Mr.Whippy van or something

Best cure for a hangover?
