The hangover feeling is your body telling you that you are dehydrated, The best thing is (as SMTT said) drink loads of water before the hangover!!!!
But it still works during the hangover - its just not so pleasant.
Also i am a firm believer in the spliff method, and also the "drink more" theory, but these are not always as easily said than done.
but a shitload of water should do the trick!

I agree with the pre hangover advice, I try to drink a bunch of water and take 4 asprin before I hit the sack and the next day all is well. But I am telling you guys the best is beer and tomato juice (along with hit) and you are good to go. Atleast that works for me and I have LOTS of experience.

You should have drank water before you went to bed last ngiht you should drinks lots of water before you to bed the night before so it will was the alcohol out of you blood so in the morning all you have to do is piss alot and you will be like 1000 times better than if you didn't

I think a hangover is a form of dehydration, maybe the answer is lots of fluids(like powerade/gatorade) but I really don't know, I never had more than a sip of beer, and that was like 15 years ago

 

[ProdigalMarine]

i know how to avoid hangovers.....you can do this before or during, whichever you want....but what you do is get some gatorade....either chug it before you start drinking or use it as a chaser....what it does, in my opinion is, it'll go through your body faster, which in turns gets you drunker, but it'll get out of your body faster because you'll have to use the bathroom frequently....trust me, it works :

It's documented that the best remedy is time.. (sleep)

The reason you feel ill after drinking a lot of alcohol is the build up of toxins in your system. Alcohol contains many toxins such as methanol, which irritate your stomach. Also, when you drink, enzymes metabolize the alcohol
(ethanol = CH3-CH2-OH) in your system into aldehydes. Your system will slowly remove these from your system, but until then you feel sick. Alcohol is a diuretic, but dehydration only adds to the ill feeling you have. The proof is that you will be more dehydrated after sweating a lot from physical activity, but you just feel uncomfortable, not sick. Smoking eases the pain the toxins cause and is thus the only really good cure for a hangover.

I got a very very good way too help prevent the hangover/make it as painless as possible. The effects of a hangover are from dehydration and lack of nutrients that the alcohol took out of you. Your brain needs B vitamins to function properly and when you drink that are drained from your system, which is part of the reason you feel like 10lbs of #### in a 5lb bag and after working at vitamin world for 2 yrs I learned some neat tricks.
1.) by a time released B 100 complex.
2.) take one capsule before you start drinking.
3.) take one capsule bout halfway through your booze binge.
4.) take one capsule before you go to bed, and drink as much water as you can without bootin all over the place.

This trick works great. While being in a fraterity you find some tricks to feel better after 90 cup beruit tournaments and boozin from noon till 7am

Good luck

drink water. it helps water down the beer.

Alright, many of you have good ideas, but take it from me. After many years of Rugby, I have learned a few things about how to cure the hangover. There is no good quick way after the fact other than strong prescription drugs, which I really would not recommend. Only preventative medicine will work. Here is what I do. Salt helps keep water in your body, so either put salt in your beer (which is pretty sick), or eat a decent amount of pickles. I personally drink brine water (pickle juice). Try to have a glass of water for every beer or mixed drink. At least drink out of the water fountain when you go to piss. Works for me and my teamates, who are a real big bunch of drunks. Now go ahead and tear this apart. John

after these past semesters of college and going through bout 5 30pacs a week( I can put away a whole 30 a night on the weekends) the only thing I have found is the vitamin B works. I have tried all the above methods since high school but the only thing I have found that works is using the B. I got bout 30 ppl using it now and they say it is the best thing they have ever used, I highly recommend trying it.

I think lowering your quotum of one 30-pack per night might be an effective method too :laughlong:
But I might as well try your vitamin B-method: those sundays are killing me...

 

[SERRAPYGO]

I didn't read most of the previous posts so forgive me if this is a repeat. (but I doubt it)

I swear on my life this works.
After drinking and before passing out, drink as much tomato juice and or pickle (ugh) juice you can stand.
I do this whenever applicable now.

so USMC*sPiKeY*, how would you know so much about hangovers? are you a veteran? Anyways, the best way to prevent a hangover...is well...DONT DRINK. It slowly kills your brain cells, then again so does inhaling Helium, so...I guess ... BOTTOMS UP! The water theory sounds reasonable, I'd go with that one...I also heard that vinegar cleanses your system, but I'd never try that one...its well...worse than the tomato juice theory :0 :rock: :laugh:
