Had a bit too much last night and now I’m on my usual routine of water, ibuprofen, and waiting. Was curious if anyone has a better go to?

    I get hungover way less since I drink a lot of water after or ideally at the same time as getting drunk.

    If I get hungover anyway it’s greasy food, weed, sweet drinks like soda or juice schorle and couch with a series or a silly movie. Probably a cat or two with me on the couch. Let’s be honest, probably only the one, the other only really loves my SO. Normal stuff I guess.

    Or if it’s summer festival time maybe countering with beer might be another option to kill a hangover.

    Assuming it’s not seriously illegal where you live, substitute alcohol for cannabis, have a great night and wake up rested and refreshed the next morning.

    Seems to be less damaging to the body long term too, but that’s neither here nor there.

        I like to get drunk as hell and then smoke up the same night. It used to give me a bad case of the spins in my 20s but these days it’s fine. Plus the weed keeps me from drinking too much to the point of hangover, cause the moment it kicks in I lose all desire to drink.

      I get a terrible headache if I smoke a lot of weed the night before. I also know many people (including myself sometimes) who get really bad anxiety even with just a bit of weed. I like to cannabis but it just has never hit the same as alcohol for me

    Don’t forget to drink water the night before , you will feel better the next day. Its dehydration that hit us the most so being hydrated while and after drinking helps a lot.

    Electrolytes, not from a sugary sports drink, but something like Liquid IV. If I hit the sauce a little too hard I usually drink one at the end of the night as well, along with a good amount of water.

  • A 2011 study in rats claims caffeine and NSAIDs

    Once the source of the hangover headache was located, the researchers then set about figuring out how to get rid of the pesky things, using known headache blockers. Turns out the combination of caffeine and over-the-counter inflammatory drugs (i.e., NSAIDs – things like aspirin and ibuprofen) were best at blocking the head-pounding effects of the acetate.

    Thiamine, aka B1 vitamin. So your liver uses all your B1 tryna process all the alcohol, then there’s none for your brain = headaches, foggy thinking etc. I have some before bed, and upon waking, and some food. Long term deprivation of B1 -causes permanent brain damage. Also there’s the dehydration thing too.

    Cannabis and coconut water is the ultimate cure for hangovers.

    And a bowl of either Menudo or Pho helps too if you can stomach food.

    My wife swears by coca cola and pickle juice, but I just grab a Gatorade.

    My brain always tries to convince me to eat greasy heavy food, but that never seems to help much. For some reason an apple always makes me feel much better. After that it’s just headache drugs and time.

      Hangover days are biscuits and gravy. The heavy salt and grease make up for a lot of it.

      If that fails, I would go to Tylenol and electrolyte drinks.

        Chilli fries with lots of mustard. Plenty of water. Haven’t had a hangover since discovering the wonders of red bean chilli

    Greasy food bro!

    This poor guy’s trying to ride out a hangover on water and ibuprofen!

    You need some hash browns, sausage, and coffee.

      How does your body work and why do people always say this?

      If I went for greasy food and coffee during a hangover, I’d be puking and shitting my brains out. Yet I see your sentiment echoed all over the web.

        I have a thing where when I wake up I’m starving and need greasy or junk food ASAP, but if I don’t get it within the first hour or so after waking up then I’ll get extremely ill and throw it all up. I’m not sure what the science behind it is but my sister is the same as you where she can’t have any food at all.

    I avoid the hangover all together by drinking smart.

    Drink a water between each beer/drink. All it takes, Never had a hangover, regardless of how excessively I imbibed (it also really helps to keep the bill cheaper)

    • I do this but I’m one of those lucky folk that get hungover no matter what I do. Almost not worth the drink at all. A normal night out is 2 40ml glasses of whiskey and 2-3 500ml glasses of water.

      Morning routine is fatty/oily carbs food, ibuprofen, big glass of water, a good poop and a cold as fuck shower.

    Sometimes people ask if I want a drink. I say no, I don’t drink, thanks. If they say why, I say “I’ve had enough.”

  • Coconut water, pedialyte, ramen soup ( real thick fatty kind), omega 3s like avocado and salmon, Bloody Mary, coffee, water. Xanax if you cant hold anything down
