best hangover cure

[numbers]

Irn bru.

And if anyone wants to argue about it, come on then!

[Otta]

I'm willing to try anything, am off to buy a can of Irn Bru!

[KalamityKel]

Does it just work on hangovers or general rundown:

/overworked/emotionally drained st!ttyness too?

Now THAT would b a miracle cure!

[El Pibe]

I'm run down after being rather tired and emotional

[Loz]

A sachet of Resolve and two Berocca in a glass of water. You'll be a new person in 30 mins.

[????]

Finally pulling through enough to take the kids to soft play :)

[Annette Curtain]

Oh fekk, did I have an overhang on Friday morning

A handful of Ibruprofen/paracetamol with half and half flat water/san pellegrino, got me through the first bit

However, halfway during a rather full on meeting I thought I was going to keel over

Nailed it at lunch with a bowl of Pho

Finally nailed it with the 'hair of the dog' later that evening

Irn Bru aside, is there actually a cure tho ?

[numbers]

Actually I think Loz has got the best hangover cure solution! Irn bru still counts tho.

Hope all your old-fashioned hangovers have disappeared by now.

Four pounds I can't believe you made it to soft play with the kids. Willing to have an argument with you about this.

KK I don't think you can get a cure for that :p

Netts dear we missed you and your posh frock. Pho. Like your thinking. Extra chilli.

Were you hungover this morning Numbers? I had a can of coke , that went some way to helping mine:)

[DaveR]

I've yet to come across a better hangover cure than a bacon roll with lots of brown sauce and a small lake of strong sugary tea.

[El Pibe]

I'm still a little shaky from Saturday despite being in bed at half 8 last night!!

To be honest I can cope with a good old fashioned thumpy head, it's "The Fear" I can't handle these days.

[Jaws]

A can of fat coke :)

[Annasfield]

Resolve was discontinued 2 years ago. I have a secret stash but it is dwindling fast

'The Fear'???

Do elaborate.

[El Pibe]

Basically a pervasive sense of your own mortality, usually coupled with the heebie jeebies (non specific paranoia and a sense of just missing things at the edges of your vision).

Apparently something to do with the low blood sugar, common or garden sleep deprivation and that alcohol can cause acute depression like symptoms in some chunk of your brain or other.

It's insidious and generally will last all day, long after the more physical symptoms have gone. Sleep is the only cure, though a modest hair of the dog can help alleviate it.

I'll usually get it if there has been more than one session within a few days, a 'compound hangover' if you will.

In this case I've had a couple of leaving drinks with different friends during the week and a fairly hefty one with my brother.

Add to that stress from moving and my little one had an operation a week ago and I'm vaguely amazed I haven't fallen apart at the seams.

[????]

...or 'Boozers gloom' as many call it.....alcohol is a depressant.

I usually drink masses of water. Seems to do the trick, usually feel a bit better within 30 mins.

(Although if you have it san pelligrino seems to feel like its putting little bubbles of energy back into your system, its probably not, but it helps tingle the taste buds back into action).

[Otta]

Yep, necking a load of water before bed is the best way, but usually I can't be arsed and just dive in to oblivion.

I too get The Fear quite badly. Not as badly as I used to though, a few years back I'd be texting all my mates to make sure I hadn't upset anyone, and then get more worried when they didn't respond.

Of course they were all in bed hungover and ignoring their phones, but I never found that out until the following day.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

For taste bud recovery I can't look beyond a Sherbert Dip Dab. Irn Bru in a glass with ice cubes is a crucial element as well. Bacon and egg doubler also helps.

[Mick Mac]

Otta - I always think if you are sober and sensible enough to drink a load of water before going to bed then you aren't drunk enough to worry about a hangover. :)

Water the next day ... lots of it.

[Otta]

I often in a drunk state think "must drink water", but then I take a sip and realise that I just can't drink anymore liquid of any sort.

[Pickle]

In my pre-UK mad 20's I used to stumble to the bakery round the corner. A chicken and apricot pie and a cream filled iced bun, washed down with a full fat coke, hangover sorted. Other sure fire winner was KFC potato and gravy, sadly not available in this country.

And I wonder why I was fat...

[Otta]

See that sort of thing is the last thing I could stomach with a bad hangover. Iusually crave goodness and neck a carton of Innocence Kiwi and Lime smoothy. It's green so t must do me good. It's also very acidic, and I end up with a bellyache.

[MGolden]

Two barrocca, 600mg of ibuprofen and if that doesn't work a can of full fat coke. However, as Otta and EP have said 'the fear' can be worse than the headache and so as I grow older I rarely drink enough to require a hangover cure ;)

[KalamityKel]

A BIG bag of mini cheddars and a cold can of "full fat" cherry coke didn't do me too bad the other morning... just the tummy tho i fink me brain is way past any quick fix solution ;-)
