    Big glass of water and an Excedrin, (the water is more important than
    the excedrin) and go back to bed for an hour or two. You'll feel a
    little better when you wake up again. Then eat a big greasy cheese
    burger or burrito.

    Or if there are any Mexican ethnic markets nearby, go there and eat a
    big hot bowl of menudo. Don't ask what's in it.

    Best regards,
    Bob

    Drink lots of water. Take some ibuprofen or other over the counter pain
    med. Then rest.

    Also... an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure --- never go to bed
    drunk (limit your drinking).

    A good filling breakfast of 3 eggs, bacon, sausage and one slice of rye
    toast. Lots of water.

    Yeah, a hangover is God's way of telling you to back off on the booze a
    bit. LOL!

    Crash drank semi-regularly up until about 4-5 years ago. We had a
    cockatiel who lived in Crash's computer room. Somehow she knew when
    he'd been drinking the night before. She squacked and squacked and he
    couldn't take it anymore. He wasn't getting rid of the bird, but he
    quit drinking. Now he might have a rum and coke once or twice a year.

    Get yourself a cockatiel.

    Yes, water!
    drink it before you drink, during and after.
    alcohol dehydrates the brain.
    moderation is prevention. too.

    Ibuprofen causes liver damage. I heard it on the news. Also, I can't
    "rest," I've got stuff to do today. Any other ideas?

    Yes, I'm crossposting because I really don't know which group this post was
    really intended for. Best cure for a hangover is to just drink again.
    Drinking and grease. Mexican food or a cheeseburger. And I'm really not
    kidding.

    Best thing is a lot of plain water before you fall into bed the night
    before. Next best morning after thing is more water and an alka
    seltzer. After that -- not instead of it -- a mimosa is easier to take
    than a bloody mary. ymmv. -aem

    Not when taken once in a while. So if you are scared of one or two
    ibuprofen, take aspirin or tylenol. Oh, and you do know that alcohol also
    causes liver damage.

    By the way, alcohol also causes liver damage. BUT... it is helpful is small
    doses. (it seems you are in a state where stuff has to be repeated).

    How ya doin' G. A hangover is generally caused with elevated sugar levels
    from the high concentration in the alchohol. As HCN points out lots of
    water. The stomach is vulnerable so stay away from wierd ass schemes (no
    fish shakes!). The alchohol also deprives the blood system of oxygen, hence
    the headaches lack of oxegen to the brain. Cure plenty of fresh cool air.
    Take a walk or a short swim in the ocean,(too much chlorine in pools). No
    milk, starch, greassy foods, sugar, coffee, tobbacco. Homemade turkey or
    chicken soup in a small amount helps. Hair of the dog might help quell the
    tremors but I still don't recommend it. Good luck pal.

    You might be thinking about Tylenol. Ibuprofen, when taken in large
    doses over a long period of time, is more often associated with kidney
    damage.

    Tylenol can be much worse. A one-time toxic dose can essentially melt
    your liver and that's not a good thing.

    But it's not too late to keep in mind for the next time.

    My theory is if you never sober up you never get a hangover 🙂

    PS. just kidding. The trick is to not over indulge but in the event you
    do chuck it up to a learning experience. Nice to see you trimmed the
    x-posting 🙂

    But tylenol causes kidney damage. I read that somewhere. HTH :-)

    Darn, I was about to high-five you, Patches! My trick is to never be sober.
    I wake up, pop open a beer and continue on with my day. As long as I take
    my milk thistle, my cranberry and my St. John's Wort, I'm good. Been doing
    it for, gosh, 15 years? Works for me!

    Homemade turkey? You must be kidding. It takes *months* to make a
    turkey from scratch (and they are pretty noisy, which is not something
    one wants during a hangover.)

    1. more alcohol.... used to work for me when I was much younger.

    2. most hangover cures involve rehydration, pain killers, and work best
    taken before you go to sleep.

    3. aerobic exercise, speeds up metabolism, works for me.

    Start off by drinking a *lot* of water - before you fall onto the bed
    (if you can catch it). Once you are on the bed, and the room has stopped
    spinning, try to get some sleep. If you were foolish enough not to drink
    water before passing out, drink it when you become semi-conscious at
    about 4am, (the bathroom faucet will do) then try to go back to sleep.

    If, and when, you wake up, drink some more water; greasy food is a must.
    Fatty bacon, fried eggs, baked beans... tomato juice works well too....

    You feeling better yet? 😉

    What has worked for me in the past was to take a nice dose of vitamin
    B-12 PRIOR to drinking, then using some sub-lingual B-12 the next
    morning. :-)

    Twinlabs sells a product called "B-12 dots" that is cherry flavored.
    Stick about 3 of those under your tongue.

    And yes, it works.

    In the meantime, take a few Ibubrofen (about 4 of the 200 mg.) with a
    nice glass of warm milk, then climb into a slow hot shower. Sit down,
    relax and let the water run over your head until the ibuprofen has time
    to kick in.

    Hope this helps!!!

    Cheers!
