Ok, so what are the best ways to treat a hangover?
And please, no pansy responses like “dont drink”.
Personally, I find that paracetamol, aspirin and a liter of milk do the trick.
Hair of the dog also works of course. Not being sober is a great way of avoiding hangovers.
Hate to say it, and I know you’ll have trouble mustering up the will to do it, because I do… well, maybe you won’t…
but sweat it out. Go for a run, something strenous, and you’ll notice the difference, I’m not kidding.
I Can’t fucking stand hangovers!
I never used to drink and had my kicks smoking the weed. On special occassions we’d drop acid or E’s or other such things.
Anyway one day about 5yrs back I stopped taking all of those drugs.
Now when I go out I drink (binge drink 99% of the time which I always try not to do!) and tend to have a raging fucking hangover the next day. Infact while I’m having a great time out, I keep thinking about how shitty I’m going to feel the next day…although I do kind of look forward to my hangover ritual?
That’s one thing I do miss about the weed etc is that I never felt so crappy the next day!
My hangover day ritual/cure starts of with a kick ass shower followed by sofa surfing while watching a heap of trashy tv (tacky fantasy if possible), loads of fizzy drink, co-codamol then eventually a truckload of junk food…KFC if possible! My drunk sleep is the worst ever…I ALWAYS start my hangover ritual after about 2-3 hours of the drunken sleep.
P.S. basically there is no cure for a hangover…everyone just has to discover their ritual to deal with the bastards!
By the way…If I even think about the hair of the dog with the hangovers I get I come close to puking my guts up!
Alcohol sucks dicks.

Basically it recommends eggs, bananas and fruit juices. I agree wholly with these recommendations.
I usually take an anadin or two with a glass of water before going asleep, though they say taking an anadin is bad as it is a further strain on the liver. And to avoid sickness, eating is essential of course. Soakage material comes in bread and fatty form, I usually go for a wholesome cereal with plenty of milk.
I’m tellin ya guys, sweat it out… it’s the only physical response that’ll fix it, food will do shit.
It also helps if you’re in a hot climate. Evil is right about the sweating, your body wants to get rid of the badness and you’ll sweat more easily when you’re hungover. So if you don’t want to do exercise, just lie out in the sun or on a beach. Granted most of us probably don’t have that luxury. I’m not used to a hot climate so when I drink in countries that are warmer it’s a great relief/freedom when I wake up the next day and find myself not suffering.
Expanding on mick’s comment… masturbate furiously in the sun dressed in a thick fur coat.
Just the imagery is enough to make you laugh your hangover away
In my experience, drinking in a hot climate usually results in a bad cold… Drunk and dehydrated plus air condition = bad cold.
I agree that eating is a good method, even if you have to force yourself to eat. In Polish, there is actually a word for a hangover shit “kackupa”.
Never puked from alcohol in my life. No idea why, guess I’m just built that way.

We have a winner! MUST try this. Now if that ‘Hangover’ film was really that good it would have had someone doing that in it.

Bad move.
Masturbating while suffering a hangover results in your headache pounding even more so.
You have to be really committed to an orgasm when wanking while suffering a bad-ass hangover.
Funny I have a horrendous hangover this morning which is ridiculous b/c it’s Tuesday.
Sauna or exercise are the best cure, but I can’t do it. Hangover days are the only days I don’t run or work out.
Weed and junk food are good hangover helpers, but I have an uncle with a lifetime prescription to percocet and I usually just give him a call when my hangover is bad enough. One of those will kill a hangover as fast as it can get in your blood. Probably not the best to throw at your liver after a rager, but the worlds gonna end in 2012 anyway, right?
I never used to get hangovers until about five years ago, and they seem to get worse and worse as I age which really sucks, because even if they are mild I pretty much know absolutely nothing productive will get done that day.
Here are a few prevention tips…
A week or so ago I had a few friends over and I had vodka, but my stomache was a little to sour to mix it with the OJ, so I mixed it with G2 (low-calorie gatorade). The next morning I felt remarkably well, especially considering the massive quantity I had consumed.
The day after:
Never tried the exercise thing, I’ll have to give it a go sometime.
If it’s the head you’re concerned about the problem is caused by dehydration of the brain, the ultimate remedy is to go on a drip to rehydrate. I’ve a friend who did this before; he’s a football player, the team put him on a drip to get him ready for a match the day after a bender. He said within minutes he was much better, though he still threw up during the game which brings us to the stomach and its neighbourly guts as the locus of concern. For that it is food and liquids who are on call.
toot may know about the E hangover though, which can be worse… a few days of E use and you kinda don’t have any seratonin left which leaves you like in a huge depression amongst other things… i’d take a booze hangover over that anyday…
as far as alcohol, usually if you drink a shitload the night before and wake up feeling woozy it’s cause you’re still technically drunk.
This is a fucking great thread, yet another reason I love this forum.
Well, there is also sex…
Unfortunately, not many ladies I know enjoy being a hangover remedy 
I just cure it by drinking.
Being a proud Mexican, there are three things that I do that make any hangover forget its existance.
An early-morning-to-late-afternoon session of landscaping/yardwork, something nice and dead like carne asada, carnitas, or pastor, and some beer to hold it all together.
Seriously, though. Race has nothing to do with it. That’s just how it works. Strenuous activity, delicious food, and more alcohol does the trick. Passing out and not doing anything is the worst thing you can do. Get up early and be somebody.
Also, I cannot stress this enough. Pigface’s “Washingmachine Mouth” EP.
i like that icepick is a proud mexican.
