Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: GUEST,Fibula Mattock Date: 30 Aug 00 - 04:13 AM Rehydration powders. My friend is a pharmacist, and that's what she takes for hangovers. Puts all the electrolytes back in your body. Or something. Dioralyte is the brand name I remember. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: CarolC Date: 30 Aug 00 - 04:41 AM Lox, I'm sorry about your head. This won't cure a hangover, but I heard that if you drink a lot of water while imbibing, you'll be much less likely to get a hangover in the first place. Does that defeat the whole purpose of the exercise? Carol |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: sledge Date: 30 Aug 00 - 05:39 AM Yep, Dioralyte is the stuff, though any of the oral rehydrates used normaly for diarrhoea will do. I discovered during my Navy days that a huge greasy breakfast helps, and quickly too, if you can even face them or keep them down that is. Any way I know how you feel, it does get better. Sledge |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: JulieF Date: 30 Aug 00 - 07:35 AM In my student days many of my friends used to swear by Irn Bru. But it had to be the proper stuff and come in a glass bottle. I seem to remember that the best way was not to go to sleep at all - so the tiredness overpowered the hangover. Julie |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Grab Date: 30 Aug 00 - 08:23 AM Best move is to drink a pint of water b4 you go to bed. If you wake up in the night and need a pee, have another pint of water then. And another when you wake up in the morning. It may seem excessive, but it'll have you rehydrated in some decent time. The pint of water b4 bed is always the important one, though. Incidentally, if your tummy's a little rough in the morning, try drinking milk instead. Settles it down a bit, and there's loads of minerals and stuff in there to replace what you've lost during the binge. Grab. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Troll Date: 30 Aug 00 - 08:48 AM Grab's right. Rehydration is the key. The more water you can drink the better. And a couple of aspirin a bedtime helps too Do NOT drink more alcohol- "the hair of the hound that bit you" school of cure-'cause that pust prolongs the payback. Of course if you hadn't had so much to drink in the FIRST place..but we won't go there. troll-who has tried 'em all. ps. I finally quit. But we won't go there either. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: guinnesschik Date: 30 Aug 00 - 08:58 AM Rehydration, aspirin, and a Coke Slurpee or Icee. THEN a big greasy breakfast. If you're drinkin' the good stuff, you won't get a hangover. What usually causes the worst part of the hangover is hypoglycemia. American bourbons and whiskeys (and cheap booze in general) use sugar and corn syrup to help flavor the swill. Most American "beers" are full of preservatives, which often times will cause an allergic reaction. Hope you get some relief! |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: JedMarum Date: 30 Aug 00 - 09:03 AM The last time I awoke with a hangover I was out of town. I called down to room service and ordered a gun for breakfast. I told 'em I only needed one bullet (I wasn't going to put up a fight). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 30 Aug 00 - 10:55 AM There's a medication you can take prophylactically to prevent hangovers: It's called sulfadenial. Dave Oesterreich |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Giac Date: 30 Aug 00 - 10:56 AM Back in the days when I could down American "swill" with the best of 'em, I found if I drank as much water as I could force down before I went to bed, it wasn't so bad the next day. If I didn't do that, then Alka-Seltzer worked wonders, along with great quantities of water. It also helps to dunk your head in a sinkful of cold water, but be careful when you raise back up! *BG* guinesschik, you may have a point about the additives. I've never had a hangover from good moonshine, slept for a couple of days, but no hangover. In general, too, I found that if I drank liquor straight the consquences were far less severe. giac (who no longer swills, but won't turn down a small sip of corn squeezin's - if I know where it came from) |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Kim C Date: 30 Aug 00 - 11:00 AM Well, of course, the best way is not to get one in the first place! Oh, yeah, like I'm one to talk. Truly, I can count on less than one hand the number of times I've had a hangover in the last 15 years... the last time was on an expensive bottle of sherry and it was absolutely The Worst!!! I don't think I did anything but lay around and feel pitiful and drink orange juice. Needless to say, I still love sherry, but I pay a LOT more attention to how much I imbibe. And try not to do it on an empty stomach! :) |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Sorcha Date: 30 Aug 00 - 11:01 AM Coca-cola does help quite a bit, whether its slurpee/icee or liquid. No one has mentioned tanking up on water BEFORE you go out partying, that helps too. Stay away from high sugar drinks and carbonation, espcially in combination, such as Rum and Coke. The sugar and the carbo work together to try to really kill you. I just swithced back to "Near Beer". That works too. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: guinnesschik Date: 30 Aug 00 - 11:04 AM Yup, the sugar will kill you. I discovered that fresh baked chocolate chip cookies taste wonderful with Guinness. Worst hangover I've had since I started drinking the good stuff. (But you really should try a little taste.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: rabbitrunning Date: 30 Aug 00 - 11:07 AM I've always been curious about the recipe for a "hobnailed liver". An English hangover cure from the thirties, I'm assuming, since it's mentioned in Dorothy Sayers' "Gaudy Night." Incidentally, if you ever feel hungover after eating a bag of cookies, you should get yourself checked for hypoglycemia. And seriously consider quit drinking alcohol. Sugar problems and alcoholism seem to be connected. |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Catrin Date: 30 Aug 00 - 11:07 AM This thread is timely for me - just off to Fylde folk festival (tomorrow - oh joy oh joy, I've been loking forward to this for a year!) and, since I don't seem to be able to find a shop that sells sulfadenial or any of the more efficient hangover prevention remedies, I think I may just pop along to the chemist for some dioralyte, alka seltza and resolve - just to be safe.

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: GUEST,Sailor Dan at work Date: 30 Aug 00 - 11:24 AM I have found that taking a large glass of water or gatorade and 2 or 3 aspirin before going to bed seems to prevent my hangovers. Also staying away from drinks mixed with sodas, ginger ales, sprites anything with sugar in it to sweeten the taste is a good idea, drinks made with tonic or club soda or water are good to have the effects are not as long lasting as the sweet drinks. The only problem I seem to have the next day is that I feel like I weigh 700 pounds and have an great thirst for water, which I hate with a passion but drink anyway. My condolences on your condition, I have been there before and probably will be again. Sailor DAn |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Bert Date: 30 Aug 00 - 11:31 AM Taking vitamin B6 helps. But nothing is better than Giac's method - Take at least one glass of water BEFORE going to bed. On the real bad ones where you can't face anything to eat or drink, you can sometimes squeeze down a little 'Sunday Morning Coffee' That's coffee with a shot of bourbon. That can help getting you started, and you can switch to water after that. |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Mbo Date: 30 Aug 00 - 12:30 PM Jeeves used to make this great stuff for curing hangovers...but he refused to name the ingredients. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Catrin Date: 30 Aug 00 - 01:15 PM Thanks Mbo - that's really helpful *BG* |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Steve Latimer Date: 30 Aug 00 - 01:35 PM You probably don't want to hear this, but the best cure I've found is exercise. I used to play hockey Sunday mornings when I was in my early twenties, a time that many of us sepnt Saturday nights seeing how stupid we could get. There were many mornings I could barely get my equipment on I felt so bad, but after a few minutes of fairly strenuous activity, I felt much better. Perhaps this is why we get the "Hangover Hornies"

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Little Hawk Date: 30 Aug 00 - 01:37 PM Death in battle is a great cure for even the worst hangover. Had a discussion with some of Custer's boys about that one time. - Little Hawk |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: GUEST,Mbo Date: 30 Aug 00 - 01:43 PM I think it had tomato juice in it, though. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: MudGuard Date: 30 Aug 00 - 03:44 PM Best way to avoid a hangover is to keep up the level of alcohol in your blood as high as is needed to kill the hangover pain, but this might have negative side-effects on your brain... ;-) MudGuard |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Date: 30 Aug 00 - 04:40 PM Easiest and cheapest cure for hangover - DON'T DRINK |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Catrin Date: 30 Aug 00 - 04:45 PM Thanks for that George - I don't think any of us had though of it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Mbo Date: 30 Aug 00 - 04:49 PM Good idea, George. That's my point exactly. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Little Hawk Date: 30 Aug 00 - 04:51 PM Mbo - there was no tomato juice available at the Greasy Grass (Battle of the Little Big Horn). However, I believe it can be quite efficacious. It's good for removing the smell of skunk spray too, and that's not easy! - Little Hawk |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: MMario Date: 30 Aug 00 - 04:54 PM Actually it is quite possible to suffer hangovers without touching a drop of alcohol...as there are many other substances that can cause the same effects; among them tea, coffee, tobacco, chocolate (yes, chocolate), also some laxatives, many diuretics...
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Bert Date: 30 Aug 00 - 05:09 PM You're right Mmario, also a lack of the enzyme that processes B vitamins also causes the same symptoms. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: CarolC Date: 30 Aug 00 - 05:46 PM bert, Could you please tell me the name of the enzyme that processes the B vitamins? Thanks. No, Little Hawk, only Massingill Douche takes care of skunk spray. That's what we used at the veterinary hospital where I worked many years ago. They sent me one time to buy several gallons of it. Can you imagine my embarassment as I'm standing at the check out counter with gallons of Massingill Douche? "This isn't for me, it's for dogs." Also, I've been sprayed by skunks twice, myself (a long story), and I found that tomato juice made the smell even more unbearable. Carol |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Rollo Date: 30 Aug 00 - 06:05 PM Why cure the hangover? It's part of the deal! I know I have to pay the price for heavy drinking... all right. So be it. Fun first, pain later. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: hesperis Date: 30 Aug 00 - 06:52 PM Water and B vitamins cured the only (small) headache I ever had after drinking. (Oh, and my allergy pills probably helped that, too.) Red wine is a killer for me in Ragweed season, doesn't matter how much I have - ouch! I don't drink to get drunk though. My dad was an alkie and I was always too aware of that to let go. I drink for the taste and the company. Prevention is the best cure, eh? You can always try amethysts... |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Mooh Date: 30 Aug 00 - 07:47 PM I never liked the cold shower routine, but a swim in Georgian Bay always worked, maybe because of the exercise thing mentioned above combined with the instant cold splash and rehydration from the outside pores inward. Depending on the season, rolling naked in the snow might work, though I've never tried it, I've got enough trouble without attrcting the police. Then again, maybe it's all in my head. Yeah, and the raw egg before and after bed. (Just punch a hole in one end and suck, suck that egg.) Lotsa water before and after sleep, Aspirin too. Hair of the dog only works if you don't ever stop, so it obviously hasn't worked for me, though if someone would like a test subject, my rates are very affordable. What were we talking about? Mooh.

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Little Hawk Date: 30 Aug 00 - 07:48 PM It's 7:40 pm here, Doug. Ha, ha. Well it was, anyway. I too drink for the taste and the company. I got somewhat of a hangover once (a mild one, I suppose) after drinking maybe 4 beers...at the most. And I don't even like beer. Yuck. I did not know about Massingill Douche. Interesting. I know what douche is...but what the heck is a "massingill"???...sounds like a very large hound of some sort to me. :-) Ow-oooooooooo! The Hound of the Massingills! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: catspaw49 Date: 30 Aug 00 - 09:57 PM Ya know Carol.....Its a shame the Massengill people went to all that expense to produce and advertise their "New Shape" and all. I don't reckon the dogs cared one way or another.....although I could be wrong. And what does it tell you about the condition of the orifice its actually supposed to clean when it works so well on skunk odor? There's about 42 jokes here, but I'll belay them. And for those of you hungover....Here's a thought......Get Stoned!!! You'll feel much better and it won't matter how much you drank last night if you're goofed up today! Think about it.... Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: MarkS Date: 30 Aug 00 - 10:28 PM Stay away from the stuff which causes the hangover in the first place. I had to learn that the hard way and I hope nobody else needs to do the same Cultivate a taste for better wines. Not so hazardous to your head or health, but a fine companion to a good dinner. Alcohol is great once you learn to use it correctly. Of course I am an old fart now so I can preach to the youngsters. And I am sure they will listen to me better than I listned to the voices of experience years ago! MarkS |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: WyoWoman Date: 30 Aug 00 - 10:57 PM You need to be careful about hydrating with lots and lots of water. Depending on the size of your frame, you can deplete your electrolytes with too much straight water. Better to do the Gatorade or similar stuff with some salts and minerals in it. If you get your potassium off even a bit, it can cause serious problems with such things as your heart's rhythm. So whether you're rehydrating from physical activity or dumb drinking, beward flushing too many minerals out of your system. (Learned this the hard way when cycling.) And what the hell are the "hangover hornies?" Is that a guy thing? I've had a couple of near-death hangovers in my life (and plan never, ever to have another) and sex would have been right there with "another shot of tequila" in the basement of my list of priorities. I agree with Spaw. Herbs are much less toxic to your bod. ww |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Troll Date: 30 Aug 00 - 11:11 PM Spaw; I'da thought that hangin' around Cletus an' Pa and the rest of those scalawags woulda given you some insights into hangover melancholia that those of us who do not have such associations could find useful troll
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: campfire Date: 30 Aug 00 - 11:43 PM Bananas are also good - probably the potassium in them. I also found out (when working at the local Children's Zoo) that walking into a barn full of 140 goats on a 90 degree day did the trick, too. campfire |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: DougR Date: 31 Aug 00 - 02:26 AM Campfire: Suppose the same thing would work if one walked into a barn full of Yaks too? DougR |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Chicky Date: 31 Aug 00 - 02:35 AM My suggestions were going to be: B6 and water beforehand. Not mixing your drinks during. More water after. Then sex and/or bananas the next morning. But they've all been mentioned already (maybe not in that combination). Ah well - it works for me.
Cheers |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: campfire Date: 31 Aug 00 - 08:52 AM DougR Do you know where there's a barn full of Yaks? :) campfire |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Raptor Date: 31 Aug 00 - 09:20 AM The best cure for hangovers is to drink slowly,and stay drunk, it might be helpfull to live close to a liqur store so move and very important to live alone so no one will wake you up early and for god sakes no kids they get loud especialy in the mourning! You will want to alienate all your friends so you don't get phone calls Matter fo fact rip that damn phone out of the wall unless you use a "call a bottle " type service. O yeah quit yer job so you don't have to 'Be anywhere" You'll have to have a source of income so I recomend starting a bogus charity Like Greenpeace thats how Brian Davies does it (just kidding No law suits please) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: catspaw49 Date: 31 Aug 00 - 09:28 AM Actually campfire, DOUG has a barnful of yaks. I learned this in a painful lesson when I had to apologize in writing to all of them individually after suggesting a yak might be of use in sodomizing Conrad Bladey,#1 Super Pissant. I didn't realize at the time what a mistreatment of yaks that would be and that no self-respecting yak would get within a hundred miles of Conrad for any reason. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: guinnesschik Date: 31 Aug 00 - 09:38 AM Recalling the WORST hangover I ever had (Clan McGregor, thank you very much), I have to agree with Steve. Get up and play your @$$ off! The sweatin' will make you feel so much better! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Raptor Date: 31 Aug 00 - 09:49 AM You can only play yer @$$ off once than you have to play standing up! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Steve Latimer Date: 31 Aug 00 - 10:03 AM Don't know if the Hangover Hornies are a guy thing or not. I do know that many of my guy friends are aware of it. For some reason there is not a lot that one feels up to the morning after, but it seems that many people are up to a "bit of a romp." This followed by a nap seems to be a pretty good cure. I'm guessing that it's not entirely a guy thing as in order for it to happen a partner is needed, and there's a good chance that your partner was with you the night before and may be feeling as badly as you do. |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Raptor Date: 31 Aug 00 - 10:05 AM Hopefull yer partner hasn't played her @$$ off! |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: guinnesschik Date: 31 Aug 00 - 10:46 AM I always stand when I play, unless I have something to lean on. Doesn't seem to have helped my @$$ any, but it works on hangovers. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: GUEST,Irish Sergeant Date: 31 Aug 00 - 10:54 AM Don't much go for hangovers these days but I found that eating a good meal and drinking copious amounts of water before going out helped lessen the evil impact. After/ PLenty of water, three aspirin and a couple of apples. A good solid hour of bayonet drill helps too so there must be something to the excercise theory. Kindest reguards and bromos to all, Neil |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: oggie Date: 31 Aug 00 - 06:04 PM Angustoras (sure I've spelt it wrong) Bitters and Soda Water and a sleep seem to work for me. Doesn't do too much for the headache but takes care of other unpleasant side effects!
Reminds me of my favourite line in 'Hitch-hiker'.
Q. What's wrong with being drunk? All the best Steve |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: DougR Date: 31 Aug 00 - 06:13 PM Of course if one never sobers up, one never GETS a hangover! Spaw, the Yaks are back on their feed now, so I suppose you are forgiven. Campfire, Yaks are hard to come by but they can be had. DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Chicky Date: 31 Aug 00 - 07:29 PM The Critter just reminded of a fabulous quote from "The Young Ones": Vyvyan - "What's good for a hangover?" Mike - "Drinking heavily the night before."

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Bill D Date: 31 Aug 00 - 07:53 PM probably shouldn't say this...but several years ago, I asked my doctor why I was having problems with headache...etc..with only a couple of beers..etc.. (I NEVER overdo drinking...haven't been drunk in 30 years, so it made me mad that I was reacting to smaller amounts of alcohol).....anyway...my doctor wrote me a prescription for a drug that was, at that time not 'over-the-counter'....Pepcid!...he said he knew some guys from Merck, the company that developed it, and that they had noticed that when they went out for the evening, they often took their own product for its usual purpose...and noted that they were NOT getting drunk as much and having fewer side-effects...did a few comparison tests and came to the conclusion that it did help...and that they didn't dare use it in advertising!..."Take our product and guzzle all you want"...nope...didn't sound right! So...I try to remember to take a Pepcid when I KNOW I'm going to have a couple of drinks, and it seems to help...*shrug*.... Note: this is NOT an endorsement of over-indulgence or a guarantee or even a suggestion...it merely reports my own experience and why I tried it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Callie Date: 01 Sep 00 - 12:23 AM No Chicky: it was Vyvyan who said "the best thing for a hangover is drinking heavily the night before"!! The best remedy is ringing in to work "sick" and sleeping til 3pm. Callie |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: WyoWoman Date: 01 Sep 00 - 02:05 AM Sometimes all it takes is one glass of white wine and I feel the next morning as if there is a little guy with very strong legs propped up against the back of my skull trying like the divil to push my eyeballs out of their sockets. This hurts. I think it has to do with sulfides and is why I don't drink white wine much anymore and if I do, I make sure it's pretty good wine. A few years back when I was being visited somewhat more regularly by hangovers (simply do NOT know why...) my technique was water and three aspirin before bedtime, water every time woke up. Gatorade or orange juice in the a.m., as much as I could get down. Then an ice cold Coke or two. After I'd lain around on the sofa for a couple of hours with a cold wash cloth on my forehead, cursing my stupidity, I would put some clothes on and drag myself down to one of Santa Fe's Norteno restaurants where I'd have a plate of enchiladas o tamales con the most pico, caliente green chile I could find. Talk about sweating it out ... WW |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: BlueJay Date: 01 Sep 00 - 02:42 AM Hey, WyoWoman! I agree with you about being careful not to wash out too much Potassium, although most of the damage has probably already been done during the "dehydration" phase. I have never tried it, but reliable sources tell me that a liter of Normal Saline run intravenously works wonders for a hangover. Don't try this at home. These are professionals. For the rest of us, Gatorade type drinks, (orally), are probably the next best thing for rehydration and electrolyte balance. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Chicky Date: 01 Sep 00 - 03:19 AM No Callie, I think you're misremebering. Alcohol can do that. You can find the whole script here. OK?

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Liz the Squeak Date: 01 Sep 00 - 05:48 AM If I drink particular types of red wine (usually Italian, usually the rougher ones, like valpollystripper) I get a Grade I listed hangover. Fruity ones (like one I found called 'Old Git') give me no trouble at all.... I find alternating drinks helps, try drinking a pint of orange and lemonade for every other round, or having a half instead of a pint.... A big glass of water, before sleeping, a big glass of coke on waking, may be a paracetamol, and keep away from the cat litter tray. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Little Hawk Date: 01 Sep 00 - 05:15 PM Chicky - Is she misremembering or is she dismembering? Hmmm... Why is there not more stuff about flatulence on this thread? Spaw? You okay? How about Cleigh? Raptor - you mentioned "and for god sakes no kids they get loud especialy in the mourning!" Damn straight. My advice is, hire professional mourners instead. They may charge a lot, but they do an absolute bang-up job, weeping and wailing, tearing their hair out, chewing on the rug, chasing the dog around with a butcher knife, and so on. You shouldn't ask your kids to carry a load like that, anyway. What are you mourning about, by the way. Did one of the mice die? Kermit croaked last week, but I haven't told anyone. Oooops!!! Forget I just said that. I didn't know that raptors got hangovers, but then again I never knew one that could hold his liquor, so there you go. Now, where was I? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers From: Liz the Squeak Date: 02 Sep 00 - 03:22 AM Flatulence, you reallly want MORE flatulence on here??? Mind you, I've often found a good fart relieves a lot of the internal pressure, assuming that is, that you have found a safe place to do it, away from small children, horses that fright easy and where there is a clean pair of trolleys if necessary..... In fact, I've known a good couple of knicker rippers to be so theraputic, the headache has gone almost instantly and so have those annoying little wine flies. Damn near blew the side of the tent out too.... Good job the zip was undone. LTS |
|
