Good ways to fight a hangover?!

[Tera]

I've had alot of discussion about this with my friends...
What is the best way to solve a hangover in the morning?
Or even better, is there a good way to solve it before you go to bed (some pre-hangover-thingy)?
And no, "don't drink" isn't a cure

Before I go to bed I always drink a few glasses of water and I make some sandwiches if I'm still capable of doing so.

Any other bright idea's? cause mine doesnt work all the time

A) Smoke some pot
B) Sleep it off
C) Grab another drink

You decide

drink "spacers".. a glass of water inbetween drinks. Wont get a hangover and prevents alot of the damage caused by over consumption of alcohol.

A hangover is a result of dehydration, which happens after a long night of binge drinking. Water before bed tends to help. One thing you have to realize though, is your body is still metabolising beer for about 45 minutes after you stop drinking (so even if you stop or take a break from drinking, you're still progressively getting more intoxicated). Try drinking waiting at least an hour from when you stop drinking and when you go to bed, and drink water during that time to rehydrate your body.


Sometimes, a hair of the dog that bit you in the morning kinda helps, too.


edit: lol at "spacers"... that's like the shit that are like on binge drinking posters on campus... not to mention over-consumption of alcohol is the point of getting hammered

Unless you drink till 6 in the morning you'll probably never experience a bad hangover, a bad hangover is rare but makes you immobilized for several hours. It's like getting fucked in the head by a very large screwdriver.

Like most people said, hydrate yourself before bed and possibly take an aspirin. I think food soaks up the alcohol which might be good, (might be bad, I'm not a doctor) but I find eating and drinking (water) before bed always helps. Instead of your body processing beer and alcohol all night at least you're letting it process some sort of food.

Food is good, as it absorbs alcohol... taking aspirin is bad 'cause you're not supposed to aspirin on alcohol.

[Soul Survivor]

Drink Gatorade or something that will hydrate you. Cola syrup is good for settling your stomach when it's upset. It's sold otc at most drug stores. Don't drink draft beer, try to drink bottled if possible. Space out your drinks...
Eat before you go out not after your already drunk. Eating when drunk dosen't sober you up. ONly time will. That's about it...

Yeh its on the posters for a reason...
spacers is just a name for a glass of water.. you suggested drinking water before going to bed.. spacers are the same except at a more beneficial rate and has little effect on how blotto you get..
so basically you advised of a inferior method then attacked my similair yet superior method.. FUCKING MEATHEAD FUCK.

Any time drinking water could be time drinking beer... until you're done for the night. If you're at college double fisting (a beer in one hand and a bottle of water in the other) you'll look like a fag. You don't play beer pong with a side arm of water. You don't do power hours taking shots of water in leui of beer every few minutes. Your method infringes on the "blotto" experience. The posters promote safe (non-binge) drinking, not no-hangover drinking.

They're not the same, and it would only be more beneficial because you're bitchass isn't drinking more beer and filling up on water.

wow ur a real hardass
i dont understand your gay metaphors.. sounds like childish nonsense.. typical of the college scene.. seems you would rather revert into the comfortable oblivion of peer support, than have it actually influence your opinion... or for you to admit being wrong...

and i would drink you and your family under the table, with or without spacers.

they sell pills in the pharmacy that if you take 2-3 hours before drinking you wont have a hangover.

Some fast food, or even some toast will help clear up some of that alcohol in your system.

Not sure how valid the water argument is, I've had people say that it works, some say it fails miserably. I guess after a certain amount of alcohol you consume, nothing will stop the mindfxck that will unleash itself in the morning after.

Some people just don't get hangovers.

No it doesn't, it absorbs it if you eat before you drink, not after. Hangovers aren't entirely dehydration either, that's a myth.


I usually just have a coffee and some asprin and I'm good to go. Hair of the dog is the most foolproof way though.

You've already found what works best for me.
