Berocca tabs. They are full of vit B which is the vitamins recovering alcoholics take to combat the Dts.

Ah sorry I phrased that wrong. I meant that as vit b is what alcoholics take all the time, it makes sense that it works for normal hangovers. :oops: :lol:

plenty of water before bed, bananas contain potassium which helps apparently or there's the good old english breakfast!!

I find that about 10 pints kind of makes me forget a hangover

You cant beat rehydration sachets. They will rehydrate you and help balance the electrolytes that have been thrown haywire.

Yeeeuuuuuckk... does have its uses though.

The one and only time my wife has ever bought or drunk Irn Bru was just under three years ago - she came in from shopping, said "dunno why, but I really fancied this". I took one look and said "you're pregnant". :lol:

He's two now. 8)

Cure for a hangover? Try a two-year-old demanding his breakfast at dawn... :shock:

I cant think of any food specific to us southerners really. Hubby comes from Sheffield so he knows a few northern specifics.

Subway tends to do good things for me when my head feels like it's been put through a blender. Lots of water is an obvious one. Pretty much every bit of food I can get my hands on, actually, and a good dose of fresh air.

I woke up today to find my parents out for a walk and I was tasked with doing a roast, ready for them on their return. Not fair, I say... Then again, I did emerge from bed at about 1 in the afternoon. :lol:

Just before collapsing in bed, take 3 Nurofen Express tablets with a large glass of water.

You sleep all night and the tablets are still kicking in when you wake up - usually because you've only have 4 hours kip.

I'm sure that a small overdose is safe enough - just don't get carried away.

PS - this also help with the aches and pains in the legs after a full day on the slopes !!!!!!

No not safe to take that many........will give you a stomach ulcer or at least internal stomach bleed. Or chronic indigestion.

Here in Canada they say a glass of Clamato juice or tomato juice in beer (Hair of the dog they call it) in the morning...I personally dont go for it :lol:..would rather have a alkaseltzer and water ;)

I always try to eat something before I go to bed when drinking and have some water..seems to help ......a bit anyway... :lol:

sleep,water and time really only help...

why is it the older we get the worse we hurt!

They're pickled onion flavoured crisps (kind of) - just as bad, still adds to the death breath.

I claimed to have a cure earlier in this thread, sometimes nothing works.

Re:Hangover cures

The funny thing is that when you dont drink much, you wake up feeling like sheeeiiitte, and when you go mad and down about 15 pints, you can wake up as if nothing happened the night before.

Its the same as those nights you plan for ages always turn out to be rubbish, and the "quick pint at tea time on a Friday" turns out to be epic.

Doesnt it Skidaddle????

I've seen it, and Ian - lifes too short to worry about getting thin. Its for living to the full.
Wine, beer, good food, whatever you like. These days too many people tell you what you SHOULD do and what you SHOULD like. Look at Cheryl Cole - she thinks she looks good that size? I'd rip her in half.
Anyway - wine, beer, chocloate......do what you enjoy. As long as you keep skiing.

Re:Hangover cures

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 09:58:18 GMT

Exactly Tony live life to the full. I would only ever consider losing weight or dieting if my health was a risk. I have gained a few stones since Hubby and I met and I have mentioned this, his reply was 'You looked malnourished in those days, much better now'

Re:Hangover cures

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 12:05:27 GMT

I don't know, finding a pretty good balance is important I reckon. I make a point of keeping under 70 kg, life is too short for all those things but if you throw a couple of them in you might spend a little more time living 8)

Re:Hangover cures

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 12:18:30 GMT

I'm with Pablo. It's all about balance. I take great care during the week but don't think twice on weekends, holidays or when there's a reason/occasion. That way I never feel deprived and I'm the weight I'm happy at :D

Re:Hangover cures

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 12:31:36 GMT

I stopped drinking in the week as a new years resolution; me and hubby were getting in to a bad habit of having wine with dinner and finishing the bottle, more at weeekends, which added up to a lot of units. I don't miss it at all, in fact I now look forward to my wine at the weekend (all 8 bottles of it).

I've never drunk in the week (apart from on holidays) but I still feel guilty about the amount I consume at the weekend.
