http://www.beerstreetjournal.com/larry-bells-hangover-cure/ I just came across this article today and was wondering if anyone had an interesting or effective hangover cure/remedy. I usually just drink water, Gatorade or Powerade before I go to sleep and then drink the same in the morning, along with some Tylenol...a nice greasy breakfast helps too.
Need to be careful with the other NSAIDs as well, everyone I know of has some negative interaction with alcohol. There is a lot of positive research on Milk Thistle but not sure about the rest of his cure
Powerade/Gatorade before drinking any alcohol, then at least a bottle of water with a multi vitamin before bed. It's all about the preemptive cure for me, as nothing I do the next day besides sleeping does much.
I encourage others not to drink Gatorade or what not. Too much high fructose corn syrup and since your having beer your insulin will spike. Also taking b-6 and b-12 can help your recover in no time. But mostly water is key to hydrate.
I agree with above, if your going to drink gatorade do it after. I recommend water as much as possible (before/during/after), gatorade in the morning especially if de-hydrated will help though. I'd recommend eating post drinking before bed. Caffeine helps a lot with morning headaches. Bananas, bacon and eggs for breakfast.
Since I NEVER will be like you pro's in the drinking, heheh, I believe how I take care of my hangover if I go overboard myself, will work for me. If your taking massive amounts of beer in a short time, you might have a hard time recovering. Also if I may take the time to share that when I first started drinking craft beer, I did not drink as much water, and thus what a coincidence, I ended up with a kidney stone. I learned my lesson from this point. I know there is many of us who are of different backgrounds and ideologies( you know me, an old school Italian metalhead health nut!), but I can not do stress enough in taking care of yourself. I use this daily: Because hey, the more we take care of ourselves, the more we can enjoy the beauty of craft beer! I will drink to that this eve! SALUTE,AMICI!
I usually just drink a glass of water after each beer. A hangover is, for the most part, a product of dehydration, so that's really all you need. If I don't keep up a good ratio of water to beer, I'll usually take an aspirin in the morning and sleep another hour.
I need it this morning.. Everything was flowing so good last night, decompress from a hellacious week at work. I generally, if I'm "there still", will drink a big glass of water and an excedrin migraine before bed. Yeah, I know, not good, but I never feel bad in the morning if I do that. Didn't do anything last night, and woke up at 4AM about to throw up on my wife... Death this morning. So... bad to pills and water before bed.
I just drink a lot of water between and after beer and I rarely get a hangover. Vitamin supplements should help as well. I wouldn't take any pain medication while still intoxicated.
I just actually read it, and yea, that sounds awful gross. I'll just stick to staying hydrated: so much easier and palatable.
If you weren't already throwing up from the hangover, you'll be throwing up from the "sauerkraut juice over ice with hot sauce, worcestershire sauce, and celery seed."
That drink sounds atrocious. On another note, even when I drink a ton of water, take a B vitamin, and eat a meal while I'm drinking I tend to get enormously horrid hangovers. I'll have to try the milk thistle and vitamin D though.
