Default hangover remedies

Hey everyone since I am trying to cure a hangover at the moment I was just wondering what the more experienced drinkers do to avoid or cure a hangover the morning after. Or even better what drinks to avoid so that the hangover isn't so bad. Been relatively unexperienced with this sort of thing myself I really don't know of anything that would help.

Lots of Florida Orange Juice usually does the job for me. I prefer Tropicana With Pulp.

How not to get a hang over.......................

1) Dont mix

2) Drink just enough to get you drunk(if thats what your goal is)


And when you do have a hangover take an alka zeltzer or something...........you just have to live through it I guess. Not much you can do.

Have a drink with a small alcoholic content, it helps balance the system.

Here's a sure cure for a hangover, the next day when you feel like absolute shit, have a liquid food supplement. I normally have one of my nutritional shakes which I take after gym, it rehydrates and replaces essential nutrients.

If you're planning a big night drinking, get some liver tablets and take one before you go out and one in the morning when you wake up. If you don't want to take medication, you can get some vitamins like "Milk Thistle" which will do the same.

To reduce your hangover, choose one drink and stick to it, don't mix your drinks throughout the evening. (eg) beers, with spirits with wine with champaigne... Mixing is a recipe for disaster.

MOST important is to NOT drink and drive... This is a vehicle forum and I can't emphasize enough the importance of not fucking up somebody elses life! :fadein:

I usually don't drink so much that I get a hangover..
That's the usual idea I have.. But if I do, I just let it go over

My cure is to clean the sand out of your vagina and stop complaining.

i saw on the news that colored licquor are more prone to give hangovers then clear ones. but i was supposed to remember that drinks like vodka and gin still have alcohol.

Yeah I just let the body work itself out on this one. You don't have to worry about me drinking and driving I know what that is all about I've heard way to many horror stories. I'm not one of those people who are out drinking all the time either and only go out drinking maybe once or twice a month. Can't really bring myself to spend all that money on something that will give me nothing to show for it. I like to spend the little money I do have on my car, atv or snowmobile.

the important thing is to drink plenty of fluids: water, soda, juice, gatorade. hangovers are caused by dehydration. my tip is drink a glass or two of water before going to bed and tthen drink juice or gatorade when you get up.

A good solution can be to experiment with which drinks give you the worst hangover- e.g. I can get a headache the next day from only having a few beers, but I can get DESTROYED on burbon and feel fine in the morning!

You might find that your body reacts differently to different spirits/beers.
