Rehydrate, eat something nice and greasy, take an asprin... sleep if you get the chance

preventative :- just drink a glass of water now and then inbetween drinks....

Open swivel-top skull.

Pour ice-cold seltzer directly over (what's left of) your brain.

Repeat.

Drink a glass or two of water before I crash and its all good!

whats a hangover??? i don't get them ..they only happen when you stop drinking!!!
bwahahahahahahaha

What Satman and Warni said. Although I offer a third option i.e. Don't necessarily need to drink water in between. I found although it was good to drink water in between alcohol it didn't work for me. It used to do strange things to my taste buds and ruined my enjoyment of the beers I'd be drinking.

So post drinks, I used to force myself to drink 2 litres of water before I hit the sack. This solved the problem although I was getting up every couple of hours to take a p155 as the kidneys and water flushed the crap out of your system.

Water mainly staved off the dehydration effect of the beers.

strangely enough, i've always just choked down a big glass of milk first thing in the morning. about a half hour later i take a dump and it's all cured.

i'm know, i'm strange

all depends on what you were drinking. i really only get them when i'm drinking red wine. there's something about the tannins that just don't agree with me.

first thing is to shower, clean those pores so your body can get rid of those toxins.
then choke down some B-vitamins or brewers yeast with a bottle of grapefruit soda pop(it's really fizzy) and some 'sour' candy.
after that get something greasy like a fastfood burger, forget the fries they don't really help.
now that you have something in your stomach take something for your headache, i prefer excedrin.
now go find a dark, quiet hole and crawl in it
come out about an hour later and do something. just laying around bitching bout it is pathetic.
and stay off the computer it will just make you feel more like shit if your monitors refresh rates are fucked up.
install Zenwalk 3.0 to finish up the day and have a beer.

preventative :- just drink a glass of water now and then inbetween drinks....

best advise. drink lots of water in between drinking. the hangover is caused by your brain swelling due to dehydration. and take 2 aspirin before crashing for the night. not tylenol!!!!! tylenol+ drinking= crusty liver. :nono:

Fried Canary! Grab the canary and with a large pair of scissors cut off its head. Then, make a small incision in the skin near the breastbone. Now, slowly slide a finger inside, and carefully pull off the canary carcass skin with all the feathers still attached. Heat the a pint of cooking oil until almost smoking. Then, throw the bird in, undrawn, and deep fry for two minutes. Remove the fried beheaded featherless canary from the oil. Flambé the canary with cognac immediately upon removing from the pan. Finally, sprinkle salt and pepper to taste and serve.

No better cure for being hung over than a nice bowl of cuitlacoche (http://pgobeil.com/images/cuitlacoche.jpg) :pukeface:

applaud the IrnBru cos it does work ... but personally I just stay drunk...lol

The cure for my hangover is the memory of the last one...... :stop:

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Lot's of advice here. Some, useful. Some, not so useful. Some, just plain bizarre! I'll try the Coca Cola, IrnBru, Milk, B Vitamins, aspirin, and greasy foods. Stay away from tylenol - noted.

Warni and mAVERICK1, water seems to have been recommended by a lot of people, and I suppose it's fine if you know you're going to be awake long enough. However, I hesitate to drink a lot of water before bed when I'm drunk because of all the horrible stories I've heard of people dying from drowing in their own vomit. Am I wrong in believing that?

What the blazes is that??

In Mexico, Huitlacoche (wheat-lah-KOH-chay) or Cuitlacoche (kweat-tlä-koh-chay) is a delicacy to be savored.

The word Huitlacoche comes from the Nahuatl language describing a wild mushroom fungus that grows in sweet corns; infected kernels grow large and oddly shaped, turning grey or black as they fill with spores.

Huitlacoche is a bulbous black fungus (Ustilago maydis) that infects corn, producing silvery, swollen, pebble like kernels. Huitlacoches kernels have a smoky-sweet flavor and are sometimes harvested and used in a variety of Mexican dishes. Also called corn smut, maize mushroom, Mexican truffle.

You can make delicious huitlacoche quesadillas, crepes and soups. Huitlacoche is also called the Mexican caviar.

oh ...and moved...

evolution, i drink the water immediately before I crash. So I don't stay awake at all. I've never heard of any concerns about drowning in your own upchuck (from drinking water that is). If you've got any concerns sleep on your stomach (cause this is akin to the recovery position (just need to raise one leg and position your hand correctly) which is what they use in order to prevent someone from choking on their own upchuck).

I get shocking three day hangovers and have found the only way to cure them is to keep boozing, or if it was on a "school" night just spend the next two days being generally whingy to anyone that will listen! its pretty horrible actually they go through three stages with absolute military precision. They can be allieviated in their severity by a cold glass bottle of Irn Bru and a cold biscuit and raisin Yorkie, oh and about 8 - 10 ibuprofen!

mmmmmmmmmmmm! Cuitlacoche!
