I'm waaaay to hungover to scroll through pages and pages of posts on my phone to find that other thread.....

Buttery nipples was my shot of choice last night.

Now on to my real reason for the thread. I need a serious hangover remedy!! I'm still in bed and I need to take my grandmother out to lunch! The thought of stepping into sunlight right now makes me sick to my stomach.....or is that the booze still talking?
 
hair of the dog that bit ya !
Here's How:
Sleep. Rest is your best friend at this point to give your body a recover. It is best to stay in bed so call in to work if you have to, tell them you have the stomach flu. You will sound so horrible on the phone they may believe you (unless they saw you at the bar, not a good idea then).
Replenish your body with fruit juice and water.
Avoid caffeine. A weak cup of coffee may be okay but a lot of caffeine will continue to dehydrate you, the opposite of what you want right now.
Drink orange juice for Vitamin C.
Drink a sports drink like Gatorade or Powerade.
Eat mineral rich food like pickles or canned fish.
In Poland, drinking pickle juice is a common remedy.
Drink a Bloody Mary. While the popular phrase “hair of the dog that bit you” may sound logical with a shot of whiskey left in the bottle next to your bed, it’s only temporary. Try a Bloody Mary instead, while your blood is dealing with the new alcohol it is ignoring the old and in the mean time tomato juice and celery are full of vitamins. If you drank the last of the vodka make a Virgin Mary. Another spicy morning after drink option is Hair of the Dog, in which gin and hot sauce are sure to bite your hangover back.
Take a shower, switching between cold and hot water.
In Ireland it was said that the cure for a hangover is to bury the ailing person up to the neck in moist river sand.
Try Alka Seltzer Morning Relief. One reader says that it's all that he and his wife have found that really works for them. He stumbled across this "cure" while his wife was still suffering after two days, within 15 minutes after taking the Alka Seltzer she was fine.
Get some exercise. Another reader suggests doing some sort of physical activity. He writes, "In the rare case of having hangover I usually drink about 1-2 liters of water and go outside to do some exercise like mountain climbing, swimming, cycling or just about anything that keeps me sweating." It takes willpower to move like that when standing seems like a challenge, but it is a good theory.
The side effects of aspirin, Tylenol and ibuprofen can be magnified when alcohol is in your system, so it is best (even though it may be the first thing you reach for) to avoid them to kill the hangover pain. Aspirin is a blood thinner, just like alcohol, and can intensify its effects and Tylenol (or acetaminophen) can cause more damage to your liver. Ibuprofen can also cause stomach bleeding. So be cautious when going for the quick relief.
Watch the video: Hangover Remedies. Jonathan Stewart demonstrates how to make a blended hangover remedy. There are a more than a few ingredients so you may want to have everything organized prior to overindulging.
As an antidote, one reader takes a little extra multi B vitamin and drinks a lot of water before going to sleep.
 
Pop a good multi-vitamin and have a bowl of Udon. Fix ya right up.
 
They were locking the doors and putting the umbrellas down on us at 2am, we closed the bar.

I had to carry the Mrs out to the car.

Might have to sell a few RATS to pay off the bar tab.

Good time last night, not so much this morning.:D
 
Apparently I need to walk down memory lane from last night.......I don't remember much of anything.
 
i do know that gatorade works great, i drink a liter of that in the morning and ready to start drinking again in an hour!
 
I'm sure I'll hear way more stories later. There's pics too. Gotta get my camera out and take a peek.

What I do know is I woke up to find a wet spot on the floor next to the bed. Don't ask me what happened I have no clue. I also couldn't find my clothes. Found them thrown all over and my sunglasses are mia.
 
Damn I wish my Email was not Down :D now why did we not do that when we all went out :confused: O-yea I had my son with us :rolleyes:
 
I'm drinking gatorade right now and its making me want to puke more then its fixing anything.

I'm not sure I'll ever drink like that again tony......
 
My Dear Friends,

I feel your pain - not so much today in particular, but recently enough that I can commisserate with you.

In my experience Gatorade and water are great, but only before turning in to bed after a night's indulgences, used as preventatives. Gatorade, as you have discovered, works amazingly like Ipecac the morning after, and water can and will make you knee-walking drunk again after a hard night of drinking, especially if imbibed in quantity. Don't test it - please trust me on this for your own sake.

As the hangover is caused largely by dehydration, anything you can choke down with a fairly high liquid content will help. Otherwise, time is about the only real healer.

My heart goes out to you... :o
