Hangover Hell

[Animal]

My hangovers usually consist of an extreme case of thirst right after I wake up, including the most god awful taste in my mouth. Easily cured with a sprite.

If I drank too much (I'm talking about lots of 151 mixed with beer and who knows what else) then I may feel really sick in the stomach. If its too much, I'll just induce vomiting and then drink some Pepto Bismol. Then I take some aspirin.

You are ready to start drinking again that same night.

here, prevention is by far the best medicine.

try drinking a glass of water between every third beer or so.  More water if you are doing something silly like shooting 151 (animal.)

i never taken aspirin or IB or whatever for hangovers.  i find that it makes me dizzy and the whole situation worse.

if you forget (or are too drunk) to drink water periodically and do end up with a nasty hangover.  Eat and drink as much as your stomach can handle.  The key is to re-hydrate yourself and move the rest of the toxins through your body as quickly as possible (to put it politely.)

ps.  try a few table spoons of hydrogen peroxide...any remaining alcohol or hot wings will be violently propelled from your body.. leaving a clean slate for recovery.

pps i have never tried the above mentioned cure...i know people who have and they are still alive, but it may not work for you.

Really good stuff here....

Assuming I am on a bender, I usually try to drink a glass of water for every 2 mixed drinks I consume.  I find that that helps with the overall muscle ache thing that you receive the next day.  

 

PS Always get up and move around. Being inactive, i.e. watching TV or reading, slows down the recovery process.

BIG HELP! I think this is one reason that hangovers are non-exsistent on Vacations, ie--your on the move---things to do---etc.

I personally have been so hungover that sitting upright was a chore. I quess im getting old.

Take ecstasy or smoke weed when your drinking to cure hangovers... cuz you stop drinking right then and there.... Well it doesn't stop me, but it stops most...

I know... "dumb ass"

That night:
Put a beer on the radiator(or somewhere warm) and leave it open. Put some screen or something over the top to prevent toejam from falling in it.

Next day:
Walk to your nearest MickeyDs after taking 2 excedrin* and order a breakfast combo there. Eat there, walk home. Drink water. Head ache will be gone. Drink that warm beer.

A hangover is NOT your body being dehydrated, it is your body withdrawing from you putting alchohol in your body and it wants more. This will seriously fix you right up.

excedrin*: use whatever anti-headache medicine you prefer except for bayer, advil or... whatever that other blue ibuprofen is.

Couple bags of LR intravenously works ok.

BAH who needs all that chemical sheit ..

1 - 2 Pint of Water just before you go to bed and TADA no headache the next morning ..

if in doubt weather the water stays in or not .. use 1-4 fingers and the water afterwards

This is straight from my research lab:
You need liquid (pref water, since alcohol drains your body's waterlevel - a few Coke, Pepsi and other caffeinestuffed softdrinks are great, but supplement with water), you need caffeine (keeps bloodpressure constant in your brain, and also has a slight painreleaving effect) and you need vitamin B12, which repairs all those neurons in your brain that has "lost connection" - this is best taken injected intramusculary (in the buttcheek) - time to call that vet friend of yours.  

Alcohol doesn't kill (many) braincells, but it reduces the number of connections - drink long enough, and you might be heavily impaired - the process is reversible, thank God...  

Caffeine and water has an immediate effect - just don't overdo the coffee thing - stop when u get the shakes (if they wheren't already present). Pain releavers should be saved for that steak-knife between the ribs...
 
And then there is greasy food and humpin' your girlfriend - it doesn't help, but it will motivate u to drink again.  If you are smart (unlike me) you'll wait 2-4 days (dep. on weight) until your body has finished processing all those left-over chemicals your liver just made  

A few more things: Drinking water before bedtime (and between drinks) is an all time winner - it's so bleedin' obvious i forgot to mention it!

Moving around is ok IF it doesn't cause u pain (pain tells u that u shouldn't be moving around).  Watch some golf on the TV instead (or other boring sporting events - fishing contests would be great but is seldom aired) That will calm your nerves.

Coffee is very good for muscle pain too,
and finally the sad news: With age the blood/brain barrier will be slowly broken down - eg. hangovers get worse the older u get because more (and different, harmful) chemicals get into your sponge. Drink Vodka - it has the lowest chemical crap/alcohol ratio.

Happy recovery!
