Answers:
BURNT TOAST
"I've never tried it, but I heard eating burnt toast will cure you hang over. Even if it doesnt, the terrible taste will take your mind off it for a while."
There you have it, set yer toasters to 11.
GRAB A NIPPLE
Smudge tells us "a friend of mine said that drinking his wife's breast milk cured his hangovers when their baby was born. He tried cow milk after she stopped lactating, but said it didn't work like a woman's breastmilk. Creepy, eh?"
EELY GOOD
Soakers in the middle ages would down a plate of bitter almonds and dried eel. Pleasing to the palette? Perhaps not. But nutritious enough that it might just work.
SALT LICK CITY
John Darce says, "My cultural anthropologist teacher said that some American Indian tribes used to run until they broke out in a sweat. They would then lick their sweat and spit it out, to get their body rid of the poison." But our friend Bob says, "the American Indians weren't introduced to alcohol until Europeans brought the stuff over." We'll be looking into this one, stay tuned.
EL LEMON
In Puerto Rico, the local alcos cure hangovers by rubbing half a lemon under their "drinking arm." Not recommended after shaving, ladies. Although Guy Nicholls, from Wiltshire in England reckons it's the way you rub the lemon. Clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, anticlockwise in the South.
YOODOO VOODOO
Those spun out Haitan voodoo people recommend sticking thirteen black pins in the cork of the offending bottle. Worth a try. Harder with twist tops.
GET A SOOT FETISH
In 19th Century England, chimneysweeps swore by the healing properties of a long, warm, soot milkshake. Yum, yum, yum.
WILD WEST HARE DOO
Apparently, in the Wild Wild West, whisky-swilling cowboys swore by a stiff cup of rabbit-poo tea. As if that morning breath wasn't bad enough already.
SHEEP BALLS
In Outer Mongolia, drunks are said to slurp down a pickled sheep's eye in tomato juice. No wonder they're so bad tempered.
ASSYRIAN PASTE
Josh Handest, from North Carolina USA, says that in South Africa you eat Assyrian Paste, "It is apparently made with 1 teaspoon of ground swallow's beak and a teaspoon of myrrh mixed together. (Oh yeah, let me just grab that out of the fridge!). They recommend eating it as quickly as possible and washing it down with a glass of water."
GO BACK TO BED
You've drank hard, you deserve a good rest. Especially good if you can find someone to wait on your every need.
PAPILION STYLE
We like Papilion's style. He says "lots of fresh home made orange juice (usually 3 oranges and 1 lemon) then a nice long shower and then lots of sex :)"
WATER, WAITER.
Your body might have been 90% water before you went out but it feels like 20% now. Get your dried up prune body over to the tap and drink, drink, drink. Drink 'til you stomach's so full it hurts, then wait. 5 minutes later your mouth will be parch dry again and ready for more. Two minutes if you smoked ciggies.
PLAY IN THE HAY
When you've tried all else (better still, before) settle down to a good old fashioned romp. The exercise pumps your blood, the rest, well you know what that does. And at the end you can down a big drink of water and slip back into a peaceful slumber. Ahhhh...
GET A SUGAR HIT
Get like a kid on red cordial and pump yourself up. See, your body needs sugar to break down alcohol which means right now it hasn't got any. Which is why you're feeling weak and lightheaded. Mars Bars are good...they only take 15 minutes to start giving you a sugar hit. Jellybeans will get you bouncing too, especially the glucose ones you get from the chemist. And they won't make you as fat.
DRINK SPORTS CORDIAL
You know, like Gatorade and Powerade and probably Staminade too. You wee'd out all your body salts, so you'll be needing some more. Naturally, the liquid refreshment will do you good too.
DON'T MIX YOUR DRINKS
Don't mix your drinks, don't mix your drinks, don't mix your drinks. Unless one of them's water.
THE GRAVITY CURE
If you feel gravity tugging, let it win for a while. Find a warm, flat floor on which to settle your bones. It'll open your lungs and slow the pounding in your head. Feel free to fall asleep.
WET DREAMS
Before you go out put a glass of water next to your bed. Then drink it and put another one there for when you get home. Works best if you know where you'll be sleeping.
KEEP DRINKING
You've heard it before but guess what? It works. See alcohol contains ethanol and methanol. Methanol makes your head sore, ethanol stops it working its evil magic. New drink = new ethanol = delayed pain. And more fun now.
THINK JUICY THOUGHTS
...then drink 'em. The water in juice rehydrates your body, the fructose (sugar) it contains helps burn up the alcohol leaving you feeling just peachy.
QUIT FOR LIFE
Smoking doesn't just kill, it makes hangovers a lot more miserable along the way. Quit and your hangovers will be 50% less nasty. Guaranteed.
EAT YOUR BEANS
Eat your rice, grains, cereals, peas & nuts too. They're all stuffed with Vitamin B1, or Thiamine, which helps you metabolise the grog AND stabilises the nervous system. Lack of B1 is often what causes infamous DTs, or Delirium Tremors.
MONKEY BUSINESS
Ronan from Ireland says, "eat a bananna as they contain potassium which is guaranteed to revitalise your body after a heavy session."
HAVE A VB WITH YOUR VB
A Vitamin B before beers will make a kegload of difference in the morning. Vitamin B2 is good but B1's the best. For all you Americans out there VB is a tasty Australian beer.
V8 IS GREAT
It's better than great, it's the best. Stacked with the mother of all hangover cures, tomato juice then sprinkled with every vege known to humankind, one drop of V8 is said by legend to contain an entire bowl of vegetables. If only it tasted like Coke.
THE ITALIAN RESTAURANT
Not just good for getting pissed at, good for getting well again the next day too. Through extra virgin olive oil and the liberal use of fresh ripe tomatos, Italians have learned the secret of getting real plump without getting heart disease and curing hangovers at the same. So while the wine gives you a hangover, dinner gives you the cure. Pure genius.
KUDZU
Not strictly healthy but close to nature, Kudzu is a Chinese vine used for curing hangovers as early as 200BC. In 400AD it was written into the Chinese Pharmacopeia as a kick **** cure and it's still being used today, possibly as close as your local health food store.
THINK GINGER
"The best and greatest cure for that groggy nausia feeling is drinking ginger. It's been uses by boaties to cure sea sickness (hence nausia) for hundreds of years. If you buy sea sick tablet they will be 100% ginger. Go down to the Vege shop and buy some ginger root. If you have a juice extractor crush up the ginger put in some Orange Juice and scull. It burns ya through but it works like a dream!"
SWIM IN THE SEA
The cool lapping water soothes your throbbing head. The exercise will get your blood pumping. And the positive ions given off by a massive body of water will help settle your body and head.
Hope that helps!
