Does coca-cola help with hangovers?!


Question: Hi,
Coke or colas help with hang-overs because they contain caffiene and also they have a lot of water. The sugar content will give you some energy booster also. Generally when you have hangovers or after a heavy drinking session, you will be tired or drained. So, colas will help in making you alert or freshened, reduce the effect of dehydration and also give you some energy.
Cheers..

It contains sugar and caffeine -- they will help a little, the the effects won't last long, then you get jumpy. Nothing helps like a couple of aspirin and a long nap -- and drink plenty of water because you are slightly dehydrated when you are hung-over..

may do...try it lol. but i would have thought coffee more...and water

I find that Coke is only good when drinking. Such as with Coon (Coke and Goon). Most Bourbon drinks are also mixed with Coke/Cola when in cans, and I find they give me hangovers. I wake up the next morning feeling like I've drank a bag of liquid sugar (if that was possible, since liquid sugar would drip out of the bag).

Greasy food = Better than Jesus. Forget the sugar, and sweets the day after a night out, I believe it's them that contribute to the hangover in the first place. Also, try skull as much water as you can without vomiting - and sip it throughout the rest of the day. Although that's common knowledge and I'm getting off track.

EDIT: How did I forget Gatorade or Powerade? The blue stuff especially is SOOO good. It's like drinking the water you need, but it tastes good, it's really cold and for some reason it makes you feel special.

EDIT: Although this may be by coincidence; I have never gotten a hangover when I take Berroca the day before a party, and then just before I drink.

ADDITION: I also find as soon as you wake up the next morning, feeling like ****. Crack open another Beer/Can (never done it with Spirits though) and drink it. It'll make you feel better, even though it sounds the exact opposite! But remember to drink water after that, loads of it.

for me it would depend on what i had been drinking, and how much. i dont think it would help much after a bottle of scotch.
i find orange gatorade and subway works best

Why not.
When I was in college somebody started the rumor that eating Moon Pies and RC cola would keep you from getting pregnant.

I agree with the Gatorade and maybe a vitamin.

it can, but only ifyou heat it, squeeze lots of lemon juice into it, and drink it as a tea. usually done as a remedy for colds and flu, but works for hangovers as well. this is done in hong kong and macau.

yes they do.

the only thing that slightly works for me is McD coke and cheeseburger. of course only time will help a hangover.
