Hangover cures?

[afrazier5]

There's always lots of talk on this. What is your favorite cure? Hair of the dog? Sleep? If found this while doing my daily CNN review and thought it would be good to share....
Coconut Water Is Sweet Hangover Relief - TIME

[FloridaFun]

This is the only thing I've found that works, a brazilian friend gave me a few tablets and I was 100% well within like 20 minutes...crazy expensive ordering online as they are cheap in Brazil, but might be worth it.
Hangover prevention and cure. ENGOV we trust.

Otherwise, we try not to mix and I never drink "fruity" drinks as that not only makes me sick, gives me a wicked hangover too...so I usually stick to Vodka and Club soda w/ twist of lime..LOL yeah I know, hard to do at TTR, and I probably wont follow my own advice as they have SO many yummy drinks and shots..

[Dave and Ellie]

leave out the club soda and I am all over that!

[Dave and Ellie]

prevent a hangover the night before.........stay well hydrated......drink plenty of water all day.

exactly, for every 2 drinks with alcohol drink 1 glass of water, do this all day long and you can drink all day long with no hangover.

My husbands rule was always to just start drinking as soon as he got up. He would tell me that if u did it that way, your body doesn't know if its hungover, drunk, or just getting drunk again. lol....it worked for him for all of our trips.

I second that..

Was on a all week bender a few years ago and after waking up and tasting black liquorish I knew it was bad. Found out a few hours later on our way to Chicago that it was Jager shot after shot for my birthday the night before with PM5K. I was finally able to eat some KFC to get a base for more Jack that night with Zombie this was only day/night 2 of 6 and the festivities continued for 3 more nights next with Kittie, then another with PM5K before getting cut short at about 1:30 am after Jackyl when a deer killed our ride making us miss Zombie that evening in DesMoines. We called it Hellweek it was a bitch. Besides the result 'Midwest Metal - 2007' calendar sometimes I still wonder why, why the hell did we do it?

Wow...what a night. I don't like the after taste stuff the next day either. I always joke something about a smurf or a leprechaun doing something that I didn't have control over.

Just saw you are from DBQ....I'm only about an hour or so away. I'm in Urbana. Making any trips to Cancun soon?

[typeoxpress]

June 28 - July 2 our 5th trip. We had to cancel our last trip in 2009 because of our daughter. but that is all good now and she is going to camp that week so we are going to Cancun.

That will be another fun one. DBQ to Boone, Boone to DBQ, DBQ to Moline, Moline to Cancun ahhhh... drink... drink... drink... drunk... Cancun to Moline, Moline to DBQ, DBQ to Boone, Boone to DBQ and rest.. we might need another vacation just thinking about all that driving.

[kmontoya]

Wow...that's a lot of travel back and forth. You will for sure need a drink or two.

[Jimxtc]

You don't get a hangover until you stop drinking - so maybe there is the answer, don't stop drinking!

[M-n-K]

We have been using Alka Seltzer morning relief for a couple of years now and it seems to help a bit but you still need to hydrate will with it so I throw some Gatorade or Powerade in to the mix

Thanks for clarifying the 'real cucumbers' - I was thinking that was code word for something else.

[redz]

I am usualyl fine as long as I down a bottle of water before bed and wake up to a gatorade to re-hydrate myself. Reminder to self bring more gatorade this time around 6 wasnt enough lol.

Its fairly cheap to buy gatorade at the OXXO down the street from the hotel

[lolnrich]

Our version of gatorade (lucozade), a banana and paracetamol. Always works for me........... oh and a lay down on a sunbed lol

[SmokEater]

Alcohol dehydrates - a hangover is your body telling you it's dehydrated. As some people said, keep drinking water while drinking - that should help.

But like someone else said - the best way to avoid it is to keep drinking! and if you're on vacation, that's exactly how you should do it. Go hard for the time you're there & let it catch up to you on the flight home :P

[Lora&Darrin]

I hafta stick with the 2 drinks-1 water routine or else I get VERY sick. It's not hangover, either....it happens the night of. Not fun for either of us.

[farmymg]

When in Cancun do like the locals and eat Menudo 1st thing in the morning (best damn hangover remedy anywhere)

[Whatmough]

I'll drink a lot of water and take a bunch of vitamin pills before I go out. if I'm drinking beer I alternate with water every few drinks. If Im on Grey Goose and cranberry I don't have to do anything to stop a hangover.

Make sure you have a big jug of water by your bed (or where you pass out) too, every time you wake up (if you do) chug as much as you can.

The next morning I eat and bunch of fruit to get me started take some more vitamins and Im good to go.

Or if you don't like all the preparation and planning....just keep some of you favorite alcohol next to your bed and slam some when you wake up

[haggis & neeps]

best hangover cure here in scotland is a soft drink called barrs irn-bru made from girders folks.
and if well hungover then make an ice cream drink with the irn-bru just like a milk shake def. works

[afrazier5]

I guess I'm lucky as I don't get them at all - no matter what or how much I drink. I'm just wiped out tired the next day as my body wakes up by 0600 almost every day no matter what time I crash. I didn't drink enough last week to even get so drunk it would be a problem. It wasn't for lack of trying but my body is used to drinking at a much higher elevation...

[christiger]

the green juice at TTR is actually quite good for this...as most people look at it and they want to be sick it's quite a help...so try it.....but Gatorade and rehydration is always a good way to get the electrolytes back in the body also....

[kmontoya]

wow!! not get a hangover ever? lucky you!!! Im not effected by elevation, I got drunk in cancun, just as easily as i do at home. If im in a really good mood, I can sniff a beer can and catch a buzz.

[Funtimes15]

We use Floricet. Its a prescription used for Migrain and tension headaches. Pop one of these babies in the morning, and in 20 min your good. You dont feel energized or anything like that. If your tired when you wake up? your still tired after the floricet. It just takes all the hangover feelings away. The first time I took it I was hungover like no tomorrow. My wife gave me one to try. An hour later we were walking and she ask me how was it working? I said " i dont think its working, I dont feel anything" and there it was. I didnt feel anything, I felt normal. No HANGOVER. Its a neat little pill. We take it on every trip we go on.
