Well as a preventative - stay drinking good champagne OR drinking a pint of water afore bed.

Cures:
Fry ups.
Cat snuggling.
Porridge.
Raw steak.

You know, you can get a hangover from champagne, as you'll see toward the end of this episode of three sheets.


Anyway, these would logically work:
water (in the morning or before going to sleep)
more alchohol
go back to sleep

Don't need to be combined, I'm sure.

I always do preventative measures before bed so I don't often get hangovers but when I do get them I've never been able to actually cure them. A copious amount of water tends to help as well as meds, beyond that I'm stumped.

This is true but full on, proper, really good champagne is meant to not give you one.

I remember one time (heh, yaplet was involved) I drank a crapload all at once. I sorta passed out. No hangover the next day. Not sure why.

I'd imagine if you had plenty of normal liquids to drink earlier in the day, you'd be better off for when you start boozing later. Don't try to cure so much as prevent it in the first place.

Please don't take acetaminophen-based pain meds while you've still got a lot of alcohol sloshing around in your system, y'all. You can seriously fuck yourself up big time that way. I don't want to see a forum post in a few years asking if anyone knows how to buy livers or kidneys on the black market. :(

The one and only time I've ever had a hangover was during our vacation last summer. If you can manage it, I highly recommend lying on a beach chair under an umbrella with a cold washcloth over your eyes and a colder bottle of water in your hand. If you can choke down a handful of saltines without urping them all over the dunes immediately afterward, so much the better.

Paracetamol before going to sleep.
Another few mouthfuls of alcohol the next morning (I recommend about half a can of lager, no more).
Ibuprofen.
Lots of water (during and after drinking).
Ready salted crisps (preferably pringles).


Don't bother with paracetamol after you've got the hangover, move directly to the ibu and alcho. Water and crisps should be consumed on a regular basis from the moment you start drinking. Do this and you need never fear hangovers again.

EDIT; but if all else fails, sleep cures all ailments.

Does this mean you're still having a hangover now?

My suggestion,

By a liver on the free market in a few years. They'll be printable by then.

One banana an hour before going to drink and one banana the morning after work wonders. Not exactly curing the hangover, but it's a good pre-emptive measure.

I like bananas. Bananas are good. They're full of potassium.
