Ahhhh I need to cure a major hangover!!?
i don't know how this happened as I was only drinking beer... I have been sick the past few weeks so maybe my body wasn't up to it... please does anyone have a great hangover cure... my head is pounding... i'm contemplating the hair of the dog at the moment...
Answers:
if it was only beer (domestic, with lots of preservatives and chemicals in it), then I'd say your hangover is caused by mostly dehydration and the preservatives in the beer. Best way to avoid this is to drink better beer and also plenty of water before you go to sleep.
If it was a microbrew kind of beer with mostly pure ingredients, then just the water before bed helps. (possibly with a multivitamin, if you're not feeling queasy already).
To help get over this type of hangover, you have to rehydrate and kill your headache...take some naproxen or ibuprofen...(stay away from acetiminophen because combined with the alcohol still in your system, it causes more liver damage than either alcohol or tylenol separately).
Of course, if you're also feeling low because you didn't get enough sleep, then go back to sleep.
What really helps me also, is to get your metabolism going by eating something really spicy (as long as you're not in danger of throwing up.) I like spicy soups, or just eat some spicy peppers, or the spicy v8 or if you want to add alcohol, drink a spicy bloody mary.
