What is the best way to cure a hangover after a heavy night drinking?!


Question: Basically, a hangover is caused by dehydration which in turn causes swelling of the brain. Hence, the massive headache.

What I do is drink lots of liquids, I prefer Ginger Ale which calms the stomach cramps and buildup of acids. Eat a meal. And if you can, try to get at least another 2 hours sleep after.

Before you go out: Eat something. If you don't like eating before a drink, just eat some bread with milk to get some lining in your stomach, otherwise the acid buildup can lead to ulcers and other nasty stuff.

Dont drink the night before...
Thats the only 'Cure'

a full english breakfast and a large cappucino. works every time

just dont stop cant get hang over ....simple

Drink lots of water, after the alcohol.

Drink plenty of water... and eat bread because it absorbs alcohol.

erm eat and drink nothing....and then have dinner at 8pm the next day and still throw up.....

Make sure you drink lots of water.

If you can manage get up about 2 hours prior to your normal time and take 2 aspirins and a full 16 oz glass of water...and go back to bed....

I start drinking Lucozade when i get up and keep drinking it for a couple of hours. After that i'm fine

My daughter in law swears by chicken pot noodle and irn bru.

ice cold irn bru, never fails

Good old fashioned greasy fry up - the thought of it when your hungover makes you wanna throw but it sorts ya out a treat.

Or fizzy lemonade that worked for me

Loads and loads of water, you have DE-hydrated. Next time, drink loads and loads of water before you go to bed.

Drink a gatorade and eat McDonald's. Works for me everytime!

Not true once upon a time I was a master at this...
First drink a big glass of water and take two tylenol before you go to bed... Then when you wake up eat alot of fruit and some veggies espically bananas. These fruits and veggies will give back to your body all of the vitamins and minerals that alocohol takes away from it.. At least thats what works for me... Anyway Have fun but DONT DRINK AND DRIVE =)

Have plenty to drink to rehydrate, try and eat fruit, for the vitamins and best of all, go get a cooked breakfast!..the ultimate cure! Please dont delete this answer, i'll need it in the morning!

Plenty of liquids and carbohydrates to rehydrate you and replenish the chemical balance.
Some say to drink a pint of water for every pint of alcohol, but you would be in the loo all night or have to be catheterised.

when u go 2 bed leve a can of coke or small bottle of coke open 2 go flat ovanite, drink in morn, works a treat

One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

I hate the "hair of the dog" solution, because you just know it's unhealthy.

The best thing I've found is to use this:

Pro-Recover from Chemical Nutrition.

It's designed to be a body building supplement rather than a hang over cure, but it's full of antioxidants and all sorts of great stuff like that.

If you've had too much to drink, make sure you have a dose of this stuff before you go to bed. (If you're going to throw up, make sure you throw up first, obviously!)

The next morning, instead of rolling out of bed and onto the floor groaning, you'll leap out of bed, punch the air, shout "Wahey!" and be ready for a 2 mile run before breakfast.

Well, maybe it's not that good, but it works in my experience!

Drink a lot of fluids if you have been throwing up.

Go to McDonald's and chow down.

Drink ginger tea and before you leave the house drink Peptobismol. Works for me.

Water before bed if you can - place a glass of it by your bedside BEFORE you go out.

Morning- - - - lots of fresh orange juice.....and what solids you can handle.

Lunch - - - - plenty of mash, or soup. More water too

Sleep.............xxxxxxxxxx. Enjoy..............xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

have another drink as the song says "pick yourself up,dust yourself off,and start all over again"

Eat something hot, like tacos with chili sauce and have another drink slowly. If it doesn't cure your hangover, at least you'll get drunk again and feel mellow.

start hittin'the sauce again...it will right away, and with your new buzz you can really take your friday by storm...i recommend sleeping with fat girls and then act like they were hot later when you tell the story to your friends...

Water - sleep - water - fatty food. As much sleep as possible though.

I haven't got an answer to that one,but believe me I've got a thick head this morning.

try taking a strong ibuprofene tablet with a pint of water before you go to bed. much better than waiting until the morning - really works for me.
