How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

So seeing as how a number of us are expierenced alchol tasters I thought a nice thread about how to survive the morning, your tips and tricks was in order.... Did I mention I had a few last night...? I don't need to hear about how you don't need anything because you don't get hangovers, I didn't either when I was younger but as age progresses and your hair works it's way off your head and starts to populate down your body they will affect you...

So I've got 2:

pre-emptive: Drink a glass of water after every shot and after every 2 regular drinks (works wonders but hard to remember...)

Morning: Shot of Pepto, Ibuprofen and a glass of water

2nd Morning Option: McDonalds Sausage McMuffin

A few Gatorade's will do you wonders!

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

Yea a small bottle of gatoradeclose to the end of anight of drinking helps me. Also, stay away from cheap liquor.

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

I try to drink the same thing thru the night- not a manhattan followed by 3 heinikens and 4 carbombs, more like beer all night or the same type of likker all night.

Sugary drinks (like at fat tuesdays) put me on a sugar pitch in the morning.

Yacking sometimes is the only cure.

Extra strong coffee-down here it's cuban espresso. Lots of it.

Im not even old enough to drink lol, sucks for me.
Not really.........NOTE TO SELF: dont drink and drive my accord.

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

Don't drink and drive period on New Years Eve.Even ifyou don't thinkyou're over the legal limit, it's not worth the risk. Too many police out to pull you over to find out.

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

Don't drink and drive period. Doesn't matter if it's new years eve or not. The police should be the least of his problems because they might be saving his life by pulling him over. He's underage so it doesn't matter if he's under the limit since any alcohol is considered over the limit for him.

New Year hangovers - dont drink American beer ! tastes like cat's p....
A few pints of good English bitter leaves no after effects - trust me !

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

I am somewhat of a "hangover connoisseur" if you will. The hangover remedy all depends on the kind of drunk you were the night before.
If you got wine drunk or champagne drunk - ridiculous headache (pretty much the worst hangover)
Whiskey drunk - usually a headache & big time dehydration
Vodka drunk - don't be a pansy, you don't really have a hangover
Gin Drunk - pretty similar to whiskey drunk
Tequila Drunk - you wake up pantsless, your wallet is gone, and your butt hurts, so you don't notice your hangover symptoms as much untill you get yourself together.

The worst hangover I ever had was probably new years 2003. I was a sophomore in college and me and friends got a limo in Birmingham AL. Over the course of the night (we started early)I drank almost a half gallon of Jim Beam, 7 or 8 pints of Guinness at a bar. And one 750 ml bottle of Korbel champagne (by myself) at about 2 A.M. to wrap up the night. We had to drive about 4 hours home the next day. I had a hangover all day which went on into the night. I could not find a cure for that one.

Normally I don't have bad hangover's, but as sir_nasty said, now that I am getting older I can feel them more.

Here are my hangover solutions:
1) "Hair of the dog" - drink a Bloody Mary or one Beer when you wake up - this has worked most of the time for me
2) Gatorade and a light breakfast - greasy foods usually make my hangovers worse
3) Sex
4) Prevention the night before: drink a full glass of water before bed (hope you are not soo drunk you pee the bed). Also as has been suggested above, drink water any time you think about it during the night.

Remember, hangovers are mostly caused by dehydration. That's why you feel like crap. I never puke because I can't stand puking. A lot of people swear by it though. I really think it is pointless the next morning though because the damage to your body has already been done. Puking is likely to make your headache worse and dehydrate you even more.

I do not recommend taking tylenol, advil, or alieve. If you take any of these when you are drunk or recovering from drunk, they could have damaging effects on your liver and stomach.

As much as I want to argue with this one I can't. Except some of the Micro brews are just as good as English beer... When I was in Germany for two weeks I was pretty much hammered the whole time and never once felt a hangover. The fresh beer and lack of preseratives makes a huge difference. However, you can't find that same stuff in the states since it has to be preserved to ship :(

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

Dear Sir-Nasty, I hate to say this but for real beer, by-pass England and Germany and go direct to Belgium. The Trappist beers will transport you to another world. [Hint -try Kriek beer ]

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

My favorite beer (Fat Tire) is made by a small micro brewery as a belgium beer so I'm sure I'd love their fresh stuff. I wish I could order a big mac and a beer in the U.S.... :(

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

I'm a pretty big fan of Boddingtons. It's just super hard to find here and expensive (like $7 for 4 pints in cans.)
I love almost any kind of beer. Guinness is the shiznit. I also like almost any kind of Sam Adams.
But I got to stop drinking beer cause my gut is too big now[sm=smiley30.gif]. Two of my friends'(twins) dad used to own part of Abita so I know a little about microbrews as well. We used to get all kinds when we were younger (stolen from his dad), but of course being younger all we wanted to do was get drunk and we thought microbrews were kind of gross. I love them now though.

But what about the mighty Newcastle Broon or jorney into space as we call it. Do you know there is a special drying out ward in newcastle general hospital for broon drinkers

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

Before you go out have a huge meal. Have only water or ice tea with the meal. Take two Advil or Ibuprofen after the meal. Go party. have some water every third round and snack throughout the night if possible.When the clock strikes 12 take two more Advil or Ibuprofen with water. Next day two more pills of choice with juice and a bigbreakfast. Real bad? Two pills of choice with a beer and proceed to the breakfast.

Menudo is supposed to be a sure cure but I can't eat it or I'll blow my guts.

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

is menudo that chaser stuff? My friend tried it once and it just made him puke *L*

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

No, it's a Mexican soup/stew madewith tripe, hominy, and chile peppers, along with many spices and other ingredients.I can't deal with the tripe.

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

hmm... I did not know that... just don't have the stomach for cow stomach I take it? *L*

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

Gawd, I didn't think "chaser" would even get mentioned.
Stupid little red caps don't "neutralize" anything except your cash flow.
I read somewhere that the russians in the cold war era had a liquid chemical that would convert ethanol to diethyl ether (?) in the stomachs of their spies so they wouldn't get drunk at all. They would drink this stuff then proceed to drink anyone they needed to under the table and get them to flap their gums while drunk.
That does not count here tho 'cause the ruskies weren't drunk- I don't think russian spies worried about hangovers anyway.

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

newcastle is good but i perfer fat tire or 1554 and sometimes would drink peroni if nothing is availble... always have that laying around for emergency...

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

WheelBrokerAng - you must know what cats p... tastes like. Just think about the taste of that "famous" American brew B............ ! Dont think that I am agin American fermented beverages in particular. Most Southern England's beers taste like fizzy animal urine too .

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

I forgot to mention Alka Seltzer. Many versions help. Some swear by the "Morning Relief" kind - if you can find it.I think the morning relief kind tastes like crap though.
Oh well.....I didn't need any. I didn't even get drunk last night. I've been up since 7:30, my wife is gone to work, and the baby is napping. Ah....the joys of parenthood.
Maybe I'll fire up a doobie...........

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day

I down-loaded your teabag picky [the first download] so that you would not feel unappreciated. Tea in a bag ! What a disgusting thought.

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

i hate tea.

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

valdeez, I would surely hope 5 yuenglings wouldn't give you a hangover... unless you're a girl

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

1) Get an orange Gatorade on the way home .... kill it in the car (hopefully someone else is driving)
2) Slam down a large glass of water before bed, then refill it and leave that on your nightstand for the middle of the night drymouth wakeup.
3) Take 2 potassium and 2 magnesium pills before bed --- I take 1 of each daily anyway, so they're around.
4) Have a taylored ham (thin sliced pork roll for you non-Jerseians) egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast.

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

No, finch, 5 Yuengs doesn't even buzz me. 15 for a buzz, 24 for a drunk. Still no hangover.
Kegbeer of almost any brand seems to kill me. I think it's cause cups get tossed back faster than bottles, so more is consumed.

Not poisoning oneself is the surest cure. Puff Puff sip Puff Puff sip. Take it easy and nobody gets hurt.[&:]

RE: How to Cure a Hangover On New Years Day
 

LOL ..... wait until you get a little older ...... it's not too common, but I've had 3 or 4 times that I've had like 4-5 beers and not gotten any sort of buzz, but got a hangover the next morning. Now that's some sh!+!!!!

Other nights I can kill plenty and no hangover, but those nights are usually vodka drinks and I usually remember (Redbull) to drink some water with cocktails. Also, the other stuff I mentioned ..... don't know what it is, but the orange seems to work better than other flavors of Gatorade ..... read it somewhere, tried it and it's true!
