A hangover is not a punishment, it's just the logical consequence.

Best hangover cure in the world is swimming (or surfing) in some cool ocean water. That and some cool drinking water. And sleep.

Force yourself to drink a pint or more of water before going to bed.

But if you still get a hangover, the best remedy is sex. Mind, you may want to shower, brush your teeth and shave your tongue first.

The only, I say ONLY, acceptable hangover cure is Christmas.

Ok, I've got a pretty good deal of experience in that area of expertise :lol:

What works for me:

How to avoid the hangover in the first place:

Rule n 1: Don't drink on an empyt stomach.

Rule n 2: Drink water between each drink/beer bottle.

Rule n 3: End the night/drinking session with a coca cola (I have no idea why, maybe it's the sugar, but it works).

Rule n 4: Don't EVER mix your beverages. Choose what you'll drink and for Christ's sake, stick to it.


To cure the hangover:

- Lots of water;
- Eat something like a thick soup, with lots of veggies and meat thrown in;


I always promise to myself that I'll never drink again. But... :oops:

I second de Melo's advice, especially not mixing your beverage. That's like setting yourself up for a chemical cocktail cleanup. I haven't tried the coke rush, but some, myself included, swear to having a Caesar with Clamato and vodka. (you might want to feed your tummy first with toast or something similar).

Musicians know a lot about hangovers; however, so do TV camera crews. The difference is . . . when a musician has finished for the night, he's likely to get shut eye at home or on the road. The camera crew is likely on call 24/7 which sometimes means a very short turnaround. Oooo Boy! Have I seen some ugly faces in the early hours. Some were cured, and others . . . well, let's just say they survived. :lol:

I've always found having a burger or hot dog after an evening in imbibing always seemed to work for me. Plus, what de Melo said. Plus, Russian genetics. :P I like to avoid those sickly sweet fruity beverages/mixers/etc. That always helps. I've also noticed the higher the alcohol, the cleaner it is. For example Bacardi 151 rum compared to the regular stuff. You just have to be careful with it, of course.

When I was a younger man, I once had a 5 Alarm hangover I thought was going to kill me. It was a weekday and I called in sick. As I lay on the couch with my head pounding harder than a pile driver I was watching Phil Donahue and he had a guest on the show who was apparently the world's smartest man, with an IQ of 190 or some such. They had an open mic in the audience, who asked questions about everything from soup to nuts. The subject of hangovers came up and I learned a treatment I still use to this day.

After some discussion and friendly banter with the audience he reminded them that after a few drinks you start to have to pee on an increasingly regular basis and that after the second trip to the pot your urine loses its colour, turning clear. He explained how the increased flushing of fluid through the body washes out vitamins and minerals from your system leaving you with a chemical imbalance in your bloodstream as well as mild case of dehydration.

He identified one vitamin and one mineral as being particularly important in helping your recovery. The mineral is potassium and he suggested bananas as a naturally high source. The vitamin is B and he suggested a time released B-Complex as he knew of no natural source with a high enough content of B.

If I am headed to a party and I plan to drink, I leave a banana, a B-Complex and a glass of water on the counter before I leave the house, where I will see them and remember to take them even in a drunken stupor before I go to sleep. I wake up feeling not very well rested because drunken sleep is not particularly refreshing but with very little, if any, hangover. If I had been drinking particularly heavily and some small amount of hangover comes on, I just repeat the treatment in the morning and within an hour or so it is gone.

Word of warning, the B will temporarily make your urine a bright neon yellow in the morning so don't freak out when you see it, thinking you've contracted something.

I knew a Russian girl, Yuliya, who insisted that eating pickles with every shot prevented all hangovers.
