Hangover Cures

[China Doll]

I have a slight (ahem) hangover which I'm sorting out with a bacon and egg sarnie and a bottle of lucozade but what does everyone else think is the best hangover cure? Also, if you have to work with a hangover, how do you get through the day?

Mornin China Doll, I have a hangover this morning too, just had a dehydration sachet tho. It puts the fluids back into your body that are lost through alcohol and sorts the hangover out brilliantly!

[redcrx]

Bacon sarnie is the best cure for me too. Plus drink plenty of water as its dehydration that causes the headache.

[China Doll]

Thanks hectic, where do you get these sachets then?

[China Doll]

Am drinking quite a lot at the moment.... headache more or less at bay please god!

There is a good remedy for a hangover, especially one in the stomach, and that is a shot (or two) of Underberg Bitters. They are tiny bottles, about 88 proof, with loads of angostura bitters and herbs. It's like a ball of fire hitting your stomach, but then it all clears up.

Fundamentally the hair of the dog, and of course you can't drive or go to work or do much at all ! But for a really foul stomach hangover they are life-saving.

Love the shooter idea Whiffey... suspect I'll be even less productive then which would be impressive.

Nice one mccfluff... I just told my manager that I've been up all night with a stomach ache and that I'll be leaving at lunch time! Feel like a complete wuss but I'm just shattered... think I'm old enough to know not to do this on a work night!!

they say rehydrate rehydrate!! sometimes when I attempt this, i end up getting sick! I am not one for drinking loads of water the day after!

I used to love eating Frazzles and a can of Diet coke. For some reason the combination makes you burp which is a nice feeling and it tastes quite bacony! T guess the salt in your body is replaced at the same time.

When I used to work in Hoxton, if I had a hangover I would nip out for a ciggie to the pub next door and have a bloody Mary! Hair of the Dog! Sorts of picks you up a bit!

And to get you through the day at work, a quick 5-10 minute trip to the toilet. Put the seat down on the loo and sit and feel sorry for yourself like I do and have a little shut eye! It is just ashame they dont have a room with beds in it!

Also take a few paracetamols in the morning!

[China Doll]

lol have often thought pillows in the toilet would be useful!

In my young days when I used to be sick if I drank too much I came to the conclusion that the toilet is your best friend when you're drunk... and it never judges you!

[loopyc]

not a cure but a prevention you could try ru21 tablets i take them every time i go out between drinks and they stop the dreaded hang over in the morning!

[whiffey]

loopyc I just finished my morning surgery and I'm glad I looked back in this thread. Where do you get ru21 tablets ?

I am an infrequent drinker, I mainly stick to nice cups of tea and water biscuits in the evening, but it would be nice to keep a packet hand in the cupboard just in case lol.

[hectic]

Hi, you can get them from boots or any chemist really, they work a treat I must admit! I feel ok now!

[China Doll]

Work in a hospital but bet I can't get ru21 tablets! Think I may just have to be a wuss and call it a day.

[loopyc]

i get mine from superdrug.

drinking cranberry juice and fizzy water does wonders for me. Also as soon as you wake up having a solpadeine and lying in bed after for as long as you can before you have to get up. And for when you seriously don't want a hangover but couldn't help drinking anyway, a drop of night nurse before bed is a miracle. You're not supposed to take it on alcohol and I'm sure it does soemthing bad to your liver or kidneys or somewhere so I only do it occassionally but swear by it. Anything you eat has to involve bacon obviously.

try a hot tea towel or flannel on the affected part of the head (if its a headache that is) but it must be really hot try not to burn yourself tho ;~)

1 hour 50 mins to go, if i drink naymore water i'll start leaking and i still feel like Sh1te
