Hangover prevention

[silverback mike]

I have a humdinger of a Xmas do tonight, and another one starting at 11am tomorrow.....Obviously I want to be on top form for tomorrow....what hangover prevention do fellow ph p*ssheads use?

A couple of ibuprofen prior to tonight, several gallons of water?

Normally I look a hangover straight in the eyes without fear, but maybe a little prevention may be the way ahead tonight.

Obviously, not drinking too much or mixing drinks isn't an option.

3 pints of water when you get home, just neck 'em.

You wont need the painkillers.

Just water though, not 3 pints of Ribena for example, I made that mistake and spent the morning puking blackcurrant syrup...

[esselte]

How about a pint of water at several points through the evening?Failing that,don't sober up!

Oooh - it's time for the secret police ball

Drink lots of water before bed - it's the best trick

Pull.

Early'ish in the night, that way you'll be too busy playing tonsel hocky (and grabbing her jubblies when no ones looking) to drink too much.



Tried and tasted method this one.

I always have some bread or drink a pint of milk before I start drinking, and then 3 pints of water when I get home - usually find that it keeps the hangovers away!

I always go for a bottle of lucozade (the flat squash-style stuff, not the original fizzy one) and a pint of water when I get in. It doesn't work but I stick with it nonethess...

Pint of milk before bed. Can be drunk a lot easier and quicker than 3 pints of water.


Puggit - what so you mean secret policemans ball? I thought policemen didn't have balls. There's a famous song to that effect.

Water before bed (preferably during the evening as well, if you can manage it)

If still feeling rough the next morning, a packet of Resolve in a pint of water as a 'kill or cure' (i.e. if you can keep it down it'll sort you out, if not you'll feel better for the upchuck)

[Plotloss]

Oh good its not just me that thinks Resolve is purely created to make you puke.

Used it twice, puked twice. Never again.

A pint or two of water plus a glass of Resolve before bed, then another Resolve in the morning. Guaranteed to mitigate a hangover but probably not completely prevent one.

Edit: Looks like I was just a minute or two too late in mentioning Resolve.

The isotonic stuff is a lot better than water for dehydration.

A pint and half of water has always worked for me, most times im too blasted to remember to do that and end up suffering anyway

If you can stomache it, its full of lovely painkillers and glucose (plus the pint of water) so it does work. Just wish they made it a bit more palatable...

He's right. I started getting killer hangovers about six months ago and now down 2 litres of water before bed and usually wake up fine.

[maxf]

nip down to boots - you can get tablets to take after each drink to prevent hangovers. I'm sure they saved me last Christmas!

[neil.b]

Stuff like Resolve can be pretty effective even if take the night before (that's "before" as in "before you start drinking".

Failing that, can't argue with the several pints of cold water before bed.

And a couple of bacon sandwiches in the morning

CAST IRON GUARANTEE

Before you start drinking, have 2 ibuprofen tablets. When you get in, drink plenty of water as people have said.

end

[holmsie]

I usually always have a big meal and a big poo before going out! Never fails!

p.s. it doesn't really matter in which order you do the above!!

[silverback mike]

Right then, 2 ibuprofen prior to exiting from house, plenty of beer and frolicks, followed by a 'pull' and culminating in 2 pints of water..... top plan.

I fear however it may be, 2 ibuprofen, a quick beer on the way, a few turkey sarnies, shed loads of beer and shenanigans, absolute blatant failure to pull despite my best efforts, ending in singing to an empty glass following tipping the contents on my head and murdering a kebab......ho hum, update tomorrow folks....
