Hangovers suck

ya know, in case you were thinking of getting one, trust me, they suck! I think I will try more fluids an ice pack and prayer. Of course I had to pour my brothers wife into a cab last night, so it could be worse, I could be her

at least you have people dedicating songs in your honor. Im jealous..

even if he is a heretical bog trotter and Jets fan ;)

but the Jets thing would be a deal breaker for me. Im a Giants Fan!!

Phew, dodged a bullet there. :P

I took one for the team so you guys wouldn't have to get your own;)

time and water

Maybe a tylenol

seriously, they work.

so I don't have to go out for gatorade?

basically what you need is fluid/electrolytes and potassium.

Does pedialite have those things?

but you would have to drink a whole lot of it.

I drink it all the time in the summer time.

For some people it works better, since it has a lot less sugar than Gatorade and Powerade.

It's specifically for hydration.

we type in a very small font so as not to make too much noise??


:hug:

now can you do something about the spinny room? ;)

and hang on. It will stop eventually.

Seems to make the spinning go away.

Gatorade is good - I try to drink some right after the binge as well as in the morning. Tylenol scares me; I'd rather have the headache than sit around wondering if my liver's going to pop...

:shrug:

The room only spins when I have a stomach virus. It helps then.

Goodness knows I've tried, but I just don't get them. Sure, I've felt a little blah the next day, but even after a night of falling down drunk, I've never had it bad at all.

Alternate drinking water with alcohol (while drinking), the next morning, drink fruit juice, or better yet, Gatorade... with a handful of your favorite analgesic. Most of the effects of a hangover are due to dehydration and toxicity, get flushed with electrolytes.

That's not medical advice, BTW... just good home remedies.

1. Eat something really bland, eg, grits, oatmeal, cream of wheat. Get something in there before you digest yourself.

2. Drink some fruit juice. Fructose helps to metabolize the alcohol that's still in your system.

3. Drink something caffeinated. The blood vessels in your head are fubared, so you need to beat them into submission.

4. Bananas and sports drinks. You just pissed and sweated out a lot of potassium, and a potassium deficiency plays havoc with your energy levels. Spend the day noshing on bananas and sipping Gatorade or Pedialyte.

5. Take a scalding hot shower. Loosen up the muscles and get the blood circulating.

6. Go outside. The cold air helps, as does natural sunlight.

the puking seems to help

thats the worst part.

heres to hoping you feel better sooner rather than later.

and the thought of it makes me ill :P
