Mr. Kipling, I beg to differ.

I do not know of any morning-after cures, but if I have over-indulged I find that taking 2 ibprofin
before going to bed prevents the dreaded hangover.

There is no such thing as a "hangover cure"

Hydration will help as will a pain relever - most of the time is it just time to process the toxins.

When you (anyone) consumes too much alcohol several things happen:

Pesky toxins are the culprits responsible for you feeling like a regurgitated hairball following an
innocent night of revelry. So, is it possible to avoid them? It would be a great strategy, but the
fact is, the exact origin of the toxins is unknown. They may be present in the alcoholic beverage
itself, or get created as a metabolic by-product by the body in some fashion, or some combination
of the two.

In addition to toxins, dehydration also contributes to the symptoms and physiological events you
experience with a hangover. Your kidneys and liver require water to dilute and process the toxins.
When you drink alcohol, your body actually requires more water than usual in order to perform this
function efficiently. If water and fluids are not readily available to aid in this detoxification
process, the body will redistribute what water is available. All parts of the body are impacted by
this redistribution of fluid..even the brain. And you wonder why your head hurts!!

Alcohol acts as a diuretic, which means that it increases the release of urine from the body. As you
are drinking alcoholic beverages, your body is actually losing fluids. By losing more fluids than
usual, you are also losing important vitamins and nutrients. Do we need to mention the additional
fluid and nutrient loss that occurs if you also experience vomiting? We didn't think so.

The enzyme 'alcohol dehydrogenase' (ADH) is responsible for breaking down the alcohol in the liver.
The tolerance that habitual drinkers build to alcohol is due to increased levels of ADH. Some
research suggests that men tend to have more of this enzyme than women, and as a result can usually
drink more than women of equal weight. For some reason, peoples of Asian decent reportedly produce
less of the enzyme as well. (All in all, a rather dubious distinction for the Caucasian male.)

The toxins involved in a hangover:

Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) Produced naturally during fermentation (the making of alcohol).

By-products of metabolism When the liver breaks down the alcohol, enzymes produce a by-product
called acetaldehyde. This highly toxic substance enters the system and can make you feel
extremely ill.

Congeners These are by-products of the alcohol fermentation and distillation process and are present
in the drink itself. The level of congeners help explain why certain drinks give you a worse
hangover than others. Visit our congeners page to learn more.

Stay hydrated while you drink -- alternate water and alcohol. This helps prevent dehydration and
counteracts the diuretic effects of the alcohol.

I find that tomato soup or products like Spaghetti-Os that have a tomato base without too much
starch help the morning after.

Also, as much as I love Jack and Coke, it is best to avoid mixing alcohol and caffiene. They are
both diuretics, and dehydrate you even faster than either one by itself.

"A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition." -Rudyard Kipling

Mr. Kipling, I beg to differ.

The majority of a hangover is simply dehydration. Drink as much water as you can before going to bed
and have a glass ready for when you wake up.

Other than that, simple nutrition is the answer. All your vitamins and electrolytes were literaly
[censored] away in your evening of rampant bacchanalianism. Try orange juice and a good breakfast. One
of those "complete" vitamins (like Centrum) would help. Greasy cheeseburgers seem to work for me,
but that certainly isn't what a doctor would recommend.

But mostly it is dehydration, get some water into your system and start feeling better.

Water. Both before you go to bed and when you wake up.

Yes! Sub-lingual vitamin B-12. Twinlabs makes B-12 dots. Stick some under your tongue both before
and after you drink. :-)

Works fast too.

Go to Sun Harvest or GNC to get them, or the twinlabs website.

If you REALLY tied one on, then the only cure is 800 mg. Ibuprofen and lots of water. <G>

Orange Juice for its Vit C *plus* Eggs for (some form of, can't remember) cysteine are
proven remedies.

Otherwise, champagne is the first thing that an upset stomach will tolerate and actually does
ameliorate many of the "run over by a truck" symptoms of a hangover.

Analgesics: APC's (of military fame) were perfect! All ingredients have now been blacklisted by the
pharmies who couldn't make any money from them, so if the pale substitutes work for you, it is more
good luck than good management.

The only use I've found for ginseng is as a hangover cure.

The product I recommend is this one:

superiortrading.comcgiOpen ↗
bin/site.cgi?qf.itemno=1070&page_id=detail&site_id=superiortrading

I have no commercial interest in the product or its importer -- my only relationship to them is as a
satisfied customer.

I would say that about 1/3 of the contents of the jar in the box are about enough for one hangover.
(Ignore the instructions on the label which suggest a much smaller dosage.)

Cheeseburger, fries, real Coke, and hair of the dog

Anything spicy works. I always went for a good spicy burrito

When I was younger it was chocolate milk/milkshake. That was when I drank spirits and beer.

Now..... I don't get hangovers :-)

Your best bet is to drink (good quality) red wine :-)

An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

In this case, make it an ounce of high quality spirits, not a fifth, bottle, or a case.

A Bloody Mary can work wonders, as well. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, and take some
acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help with the aches and pains.

That was very interesting, Dimitri. Off to drink some Gatorade now, heh.

Cure for hangover is not to be stupid enough to get one in first place. Hangover==bad dehydration.
Water yourself thouroughly before after and during drinking, and presto! no hangover.

Cure for bad wine is harder, however. (don't drink wine that's been left at room temperature for a
month... it really isn't potable.)

Oh! Good idea. I went to GNC to look for nutritional drink mixes and all they had, floor to ceiling,
was low carb stuff. Was it you who recommended stuff better than Boost or Ensure? If it was, can I
ask you to tell me again the brands?

If I can remember to do so, it is a big glass of broth or dissolved bullion cubes. This one hydrates
and secondarily the sodium helps your body retail water. Also, mix in as much water as possible over
the course of the night or as soon as you wakeup, two naproxen with as much water as you can stand.
