PRE hangover cures

gsxr1 · 25-08-2012 03:14PM #1

Going on the lash.

But it takes me a good 3 days to get over the lash.

Any suggestion on pre binge drinking cures.
Something to eat of drink before I go out and poison myself tonight.

Some say milk. tried that. Was sick as a dog for 3 days after.

Some say lots of water. No.

My once a month night out in Dublin is fast approaching .

drink sensibly

A good feed of morphine before you hit the pub will really help.

Or kill you.

I can never remember which.

get dioralyte from the chemist.

dissolve two sachets in 400mls of water, and leave it next to your bed. drink it before you go to sleep. as soon as you wake up do the same again. and the same again when you get up later.

Works absolute wonders.

The only cure is to man up and stop being such a big wendy.

force yourself to eat before you go to sleep helps me (a little bit)

A berroca before hand usually helps me!

Plenty of carbs and protein.
Take a few soft drinks through out the night (even if they're still just to follow shots with).
Eat something before you go to bed (make sure it has carbs and/or sugar).
Drink more water and take two paracetamol.
Make sure there's a full pint glass of water next to your bed so when you wake up to go to the bathroom at 6am you can top up again on fluids.
and finally when you wake up again, make sure there's food you can cook easilly and possibly a sugary drink.

Hangovers are caused by multiple things but some of the biggest culprits are dehydration, low blood sugar and low vitamin b12. The above should help your body stock up with everything it needs.

Edit: remember that alcohol disrupts your sleep patterns too. Your sleep won't be as restful, no matter what you do. So it's best to be prepared to be tired anyway.

Drink 2 or 3 days before. You head will thank you, your liver not much.

bottle of lucozade before go to sleep
tends to help

That's your problem there, if you were running a marathon you wouldn't just show up. You need training, i.e. regular sessions. That said cant see how it takes you 3 days to get over one night out.

I know everyones body is different ....

But there has been a few times where I had a fry up AFTER drinking. be like 3am in the morning (which is mental) ... then when I woke up I wasnt that bad.

Vast quantities of alcohol will cure that pesky pre hangover. Now hangover prophylaxis on the other hand...:p

Cee-Jay-Cee · 25-08-2012 03:47PM

1. Good meal an hour or two before you go out.
2. Drink at least two cokes/7up/sift drinks during the night.
3. Get a burger/chips before going to bed.
4. Take two solpadene just before you go to bed washed down with a least one pint of water.

The above works for me every time.

Seaneh · 25-08-2012 03:55PM

Kebab and a pint of water before bed.
Bottle of Lucazade sport (the fizzy one) int he morning.

And a double dose of harden the f*ck up.

Real Life · 25-08-2012 03:59PM

loads of water all day before going out and then loads before you sleep, always works for me.

admiralofthefleet · 25-08-2012 04:02PM

a scottish breakfast

(2 paracetamol and a glass of water)

evillive · 25-08-2012 04:02PM

get a glass or two of coke/7up something with plenty of sugar in during the night - failing that and if you don't pull, a mug of tae before you hit the sack, if you do pull forget about the tea and the hangover will have been worth it

I've heard that smoking weed and drinking alcohol produces less of a hangover. Doing both at the same time is supposedly called 'being dry' (drunk and high). I'm not sure how accurate this is as I only have one or two sources.

Alternatively, filling the belly with food and water also seems like a good approach to lessen the impact of a hangover.
