Milkshake, McGangBang, plus whatever else you feel like having like McChicken / double quarter and then a large Orange Pekoe afterwards.

Actually depending on your appetite you may want a couple milkshakes or smoothies.



Great advice, son. Pour on more poison on top of the alcohol.

Well, fight fire with fire I guess.

After a long night of partying and drinkin poison, a healthy breakfast isn't exactly the first thing on my mind

Also, forgot to mention, I usually smoke a joint when I'm hungover as well, just be careful in this situation because my friend was a bit hungover (dehydrated) and he took a blast from a lung and literally collapsed onto the floor, I told him to have something to drink first but he didn't listen so yeah, don't want that happening to you, crack your head wide open or something.

Still, weed can make things better almost any time.

This is true, you need to drink water while you drink adult beverages. The big fight is with dehydration. Drink a lot of pure water before and during. Another is don't mix drinks. Like don't mass consume wine, beer, vodka, rum, and lovely sour mash whiskey. Just pick one and stick with it. Clear alcohols are less tormenting than dark which contain more toxins from fermentation.
Lastly, alternatively, just don't overdo it. Abuse, especially over long periods, can lead to health and mental issues.

plan A:

drink more beer (or whatever it was that you were drinking)

doesn't actually cure the hangover
just gets you drunk again so you don't notice how ****** you feel


plan B:
eat breakfast (ignore the 'I want to puke sensation' it goes fairly quickly)
sausage, eggs, bacon, fried bread/toast, tomatoes/beans, mushroom, hash browns & black pudding
tea/coffee

Drink some water, doesn't have to be fancy ionised crap out a bottle, just run the tap for 10 seconds then fill your glass
take 2 paracetemol

drink some more water (repeat another 2-3 times during the morning)

have lunch (you should feel fine by this point)


employers aren't keen on the plan A approach, go figure
but if it's a lazy day where you have no plans ....... why not.

Well, that's the excuse often given by abusers, anyway. Smile

Personally, my one true addiction is weed. I simply can't go without it, or I'll end up getting depressed. I can do it if I have to, but I've got the money and I don't really over do it so why not eh

If you need to quit something, you gotta replace it with activities, like start workin out or get really into some video game.

Plan A is drink everything the night before. Dude if you're really hungover, from what I remember you don't even wanna touch alcohol that day, a bad hangover is actually a *****

I know McDonald's is stinky, but don't act like you're above it when we're talking about inebriating oneself with fermented vegetable drinks for fun.

Sorry, it's not an excuse. It's genetic.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disease_theory_of_alcoholism#Genetics_and_Environment

Sorry, that's not how it works. Only rehab and interacting with other alcoholics will accomplish anything.

Oooh no, smoking a spliff with a hangover would usually result in a technicolour yawn for me, let alone a bong or a lung.

Tuna Mayo on toast with plenty of water works for me, although I'm not adverse to a Double Sausage and Egg McMuffin as an alternative.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Gosh, us humans are all so different. Cannabis when hungover would get rid of my nausea. Works for that under normal circumstances as well.

Actually a Bloody Mary is a decent cure for a hangover even though it does have alcohol in it (and it might make you queasy thinking about it). It has to do with slowly allowing endorphin production to correct itself lowering the effects of the alcohol withdrawal.

I suppose you're right about that one, Krixtal. I've only been "addicted" for about 3 years, so I'm far from the deep end of the addiction pool. But I still think it's all in your head and it's all about the self determination. It's not about what anyone else is gonna do, it's about what you're gonna do. But that's just my stubborn view from my experience. I actually tried getting addicted to cigarettes, was chain smokin them like crazy, but they are just so nasty and pointless I couldn't really do it. Not that cigarettes are anything like alcohol. Shocked

Jonah you could have smoked yourself to sleep also. You don't really need to smoke much, just enough to feel good, if we're talkin hangover cures, you're probably gonna be doing this fairly early like around lunch time or even earlier so a puff shouldn't really put you to sleep or give you a "technicolor" trip unless you're a real light weight.

I think we can all agree water is the most important thing, though.

Eat an apple, down some Gatorade (or PowerAde), take an Ibuprofen and wear the most badass sunglasses you own.

I could give you 10.000 "traditional" latinamerican recipes, but I figure 99.99% of them wont work for any of you due to lack of access to certain herbs, seeds, fruits ,concoctions, broths and poultices and the know-how of how to mix them.

Down here we have a lot of "beverages" that not only bring "luck" but cure the worst of hangovers and give you "love" "money" and "sexual endurance" at the same time Big smile

Now you have made me go on a memory trip to some of our "customs" Big smile, shared even by our Great leaders,Presidents and Stars.

Ahhh , well, If you ever come to Panama and have a hangover I can cook (if you find the ingredients, which are not that hard to find) some "Potency Broths" that can cure even drug addiction withdrawal (hint: some of them contain ibogaine and yes, they work "wonders" on withdrawal symptoms like hangovers)

This being Latinamerica, we can literally find a lot of LEGAL stuff banned in other countries, all of them natural, legal and totally legit :)

Cheers!

The main cause for a hangover is dehydration. So lots of fluids, both before (if you know that you are going on a 'bender') and after. Try to get a good pint of water into yourself before you hit your bed, (if you are still able to maintain a semblance of thought that is) or at least as soon as you wake up feeling shite!.

The other thing you can do is reballance your electrolytes. They get thrown out of ballance after a heavy session. The easiest way to do that is to get one of those preperations for dihiorea (SP? The sh*ts).

They usually come in powder form, so mix it in with your after session water and it will help greatly.

Somehow, Japanese or Korean miso soup eases the pain of a hangover. It's not something a lot of people have around the house though. I had a lot of hangovers when I lived in Japan, thus the knowledge of the miso misery-soother. Actually any kind of soup seems to help.

Coca Cola also lessens the wretchedness of the suffering. No idea why.

same reason why you should drink coca-cola if you're heaving a bout of diarreha: it's excelent for dehidration.

Put some lemon juice into that coffee and maybe (just maybe) an Aspirin, after that a pint of water, pure crystal clear and clean.

Does wonders for me.

But then I rarely even get hungover, so maybe that's just me. Straight
