Isn't drinking alot of water before you go to sleep supposed to help? Water is magical.

Funny that this topic has appeared as I was going to write almost exactly the same thing a week ago... but thought that it might have been done before.
Gracie, I sympathise as I always get a hangover, and usually on a work day. Ive been known to wander into work and throw up twice before being sent home.... sometimes only after three beers the night before (I blame British beer..... because it's piss). It doesn't take much for me to wake up the next day feeling like shit!
I think drinking water does help, but if you have had a skinfull then maybe not. Whatever I have tried has worked for a while but Ive never had anything that has worked 100%. Here are some of the things that have worked in the past:
1) Spliff (90% will sort you out)
2) McDonalds milkshake, and a burger.
3) Lucozade Original..... this usually works, and actually makes you feel alot better.
4) Wanking.... although this is only a temporary solution as when the wolf has been at the door and left the hangover resumes its torment.
5) More alcohol.
Hope this helps.... I know how you feel!

| Water and B vitamins. You're still going to have to suffer through it, though. You had your fun and you have to pay the piper. |

I agree with water, before you go to bed as well as the next day.
I also try to eat a greasy breakfast. A friend of mine asked his Doctor and he said bacon and eggs. It may be in my head, but, it always seems to lessen the pain. |

i concur with BLT and Dallas.. water is key, but mainly in preventing hangovers.. i usually try and have a glass of water between each drink, once i'm getting in to the danger zone. but if you're really hung over, like BLT said, you still have to suffer through it. until you're able to digest some asperin or ibuprophin, you're sort of fucked.
i strongly diagree with number 2 and number 4 of Stuart's list.. McDonalds will only make you feel more shitty (even if you're not hung over). and masturbating with a bad hangover, i've heard, can greatly exasperate and already bad headache. again, this is only what i've heard.
number 5 is actually true.. having a beer can help. but then it's probably not good to get into the habit of having a beer first thing in the morning..
BLT puts it well. you had fun and now it's time to pay the piper.
preventative measures are always best. hydrate.. AND drink quality alcohol. if you're drinking shit beer or cheap liquor you're only asking for it. a fine micro-brew beer or quality tequila like Patron can be virtually hangover free.. |

I guess these are all down to how the individual body reacts. McDonalds on many occasions has lifted me out of a hangover, although quite rightly if your hangover is too bad then you just have to sleep it off. Wanking is really only a temporary relief..... and once finished the hangover goes back to normal.
Recently no.5 hasn't worked for me.... but in the past it has been a good method of hangover cure, but as I said earlier these are all down to the individual.

yeah, maybe i shouldn't be so quick to judge the McDonalds method. i don't think i've ever actually had it when i was hung over, so maybe it works.. i'm just assuming it would make me feel like shit because it usually makes me feel like shit after i eat it anyway.
maybe there's some secret chemical in McDonalds that cures hangovers.
by the way, what do you have against bacon stuart? |

I wouldn't describe it as fantastic, although it is pretty good sometimes. It also depends on the brand of bacon. Any pork product made by Jimmy Dean usually doesn't do me wrong.
"Fantastic" I only use when describing my own brand of sausage.
Quantum nonlocality does not prove that "signals" travel "faster than light." Rather, it shows that at a deep level of reality the speed of light as a limiting factor is irrelevant because phenomena are instantaneously connected regardless of distance. |

| Maybe Stuart is referring to Kevin Bacon. I would also describe him as "not fantastic," although he is definitely adequate. |

As of right now, BLT, are me and you the only people on the forum? (5:40 p.m. my time, I guess about 1:40 or 2:00 yours.)

| Simply GET BUSY, don't stay in bed thinking how it feels like your brain is gonna pop out yer cranium. Go outside get some fresh air, meet some friends or whatever. Magically the brain gets busy with other stuff than being swollen and toxicated. It works every time, but i never can bring my self to get out of bed anyways... |

Hmmm.... sometimes this works. However, when I went back to England last November I went out with my mates for a big night out reunion. The next morning I was due to meet my Dad. Feeling hungover my girlfriend and I climbed out of bed and went to meet my Dad. However the dizziness and the fresh air took its toll, and the first sight my Dad had of me in a year was of me doubled over in the street chucking up. He was not impressed..... and nor were the people walking by. Safe so say it was a little embarrasing.

Nothing.... I love bacon. It was in response to the topic that I posted regarding the guy that was caught shagging a pig... but I forgot to change it. Cheers for reminding me.
