Wow. That’s just sad. You honestly think that if you don’t get drunk, you A) hate fun, and B) are a bore? Very, very sad. I feel sorry for you.
No, i don’t feel that way. I was just beating potential smartasses to the punch.
Who besides ‘Flutherites’ would answer this?
Apologize to my fellow flutherites for making an ass of myself the previous night (or laugh at the silly comments I made), eat a big breakfast and then take a nap.
Honest answer: My boyfriend just drinks lots of water if he drinks too much. He’s fine in the morning. Thankfully, I’ve only seen him drink a fair amount once, so I don’t know if this works every time.
Also remember that we fun-hating bores are only bores when you complain to us after a night of heavy drinking. You get no sympathy from me.
I don’t hate fun. I LOVE fun. And I DO drink. Just not to the point that I’m hung over the next morning. Getting that blitzed is pretty stupid.
I don’t drink.
But when I used to drink, I used to drink kefir for hangovers.
From what I understand a hangover is caused by dehydration/toxins. When I drank in college years back, I’d drink plenty of water while drinking, I’d set a cup of water and Tylenol on my bed stand, then I’d set my alarm clock for a half-hour before I was going to wake up, take the Tylenol drink the water and go back to sleep when I woke up I felt great.
I hate when people are judgmental, on both sides of the table. Is that statement judgmental?
Drink half a gallon of water before going to bed.
Take midol before you go to sleep. It works. It’s not just for girls
When I used to drink mixed drinks, I always drank those with a citrus base. I also drank a big glass of water and took several Vitamin C pills and two aspirin before going to bed (not Tylenol – it puts more stress on your liver, which is already stressed by the alcohol).
Now my solution is not to drink. It works better than anything else I have tried and it makes watching the drinkers so much more amusing.
BTW, Midol won’t help the dehydration – it contains a mild diuretic, so it will only make it worse.
@Darwin: Since I have a boyfriend and can no longer make out indiscriminately with people at parties, I mostly go to mess with the drunk people, though I try not to be too cruel.
Tons of water before you go to bed and a couple of vitamin B12s. Lately I’ve been popping a few ‘Chasers’ (supposed hangover prevention pill) and they seems to work ok. The best idea, if you know you will undoubtedly imbibe a fair share, is to have a glass of water after each alcoholic beverage. You wont get prematurely trashed and stand a far better chance of feeling relatively good the next day.
I don’t recommend ‘hair of the dog,’ and strongly discourage it if you are approaching 30 or older. It’s a bad cycle to get in.
@peedub: Wait, was that a serious response? I gave it a GA because it gave me a chuckle…
@peedub I believe chasers are b12…
Water before bed and pickle juice in the morning. You read that right. Pickle juice.
Aspirin helps too.
A Dextrose IV and oxygen. By the time the bag is empty you are good to go. Sometimes just a hit or two of Oxygen will take care of things. Push fluids and a half-strength Gatorade will help with the dehydration.
OOPS should be saline, likely you will have urinated a mess-o-salts during the binge.
Of course if you could do 500ml of both you would get a pick-me -up and re hydrated in one fell swoop.
No sweet drinks = No hangovers
As much water as possible, B-12 sub-linguals, taken preferably before each drink, if you know you are going to drink in excess. Take a gram Vitamin C and Magnesium, it definitely won’t hurt you, but could make you sit on the bus a little longer than you would anyways. Also, try Taurine-why do you think it is in so many energy drinks, or why people like Jag Bombs so much.
And as a last resort, as Jack Nicholson said to the ghost bartender in the movie “The Shining”, “give me a little hair of the dog that bit me, Lloyd”.
My friend drinks Pedialyte and says it works.
