Had a bit too much last night and now I’m on my usual routine of water, ibuprofen, and waiting. Was curious if anyone has a better go to?
A nice bowl of menudo is the magic cure down here. It coats your stomach and helps you rehydrate. It’s especially therapeutic if you’ve grow up with the stuff and have mentally accepted it is a cure.
I know so many people who love menudo but the smell makes me gag
Pho it is, then.
I’ve never tried Pho but I’ve seen like 3 people mention it so I need to see what the hype is about. It’s a shame in my town the only Asian food is “Chinese” and sushi
I hear you. My dad was a menudo making wizard. If you think the finished dish smells bad, you’d hate it being cooked. We had a burner in the garage specifically so that dad could cook menudo outside of the house. Everyone loved the finished product. l didn’t really start to like it until my teenage years and now I can’t get enough. I guess it reminds me of dad.
Take a dump, eat something, have a coffee, take another dump. Hangover gone.
Add water in between steps.
Assuming it’s not seriously illegal where you live, substitute alcohol for cannabis, have a great night and wake up rested and refreshed the next morning.
Seems to be less damaging to the body long term too, but that’s neither here nor there.
I get a terrible headache if I smoke a lot of weed the night before. I also know many people (including myself sometimes) who get really bad anxiety even with just a bit of weed. I like to cannabis but it just has never hit the same as alcohol for me
Best of both worlds: get drunk as hell and smoke up in the morning to get over the hangover
Don’t forget to grab some pho for the morning after. This is the holy trifecta.
I like to get drunk as hell and then smoke up the same night. It used to give me a bad case of the spins in my 20s but these days it’s fine. Plus the weed keeps me from drinking too much to the point of hangover, cause the moment it kicks in I lose all desire to drink.
I like doing it when I’m just by myself. If I’m at a party and get crossfaded I just turn into a mute
Weed seems to act like a sleeping pill for me. It’s not exactly “fun”. It just feels like I took something like presumably Ambien or something. I don’t get any positive effects from it like alcohol.
It’s not that I’m doing too much either. If I take very miniscule amounts, I feel nothing. If I take slightly more, I feel incredibly sleepy and hungry with no positive effects. I’ve tried to ride out the sleepiness before to see if I get something good out of it, but it just makes me feel sick like I’m coming down with something.
I have tried to take more than that to see if I was taking too little, but it made me uncomfortably dissociate and gave me extreme nausea.
This is only in reference to weed edibles for the record. Less than 2.5 mg and I feel nothing. 2.5-5 mg and I feel overwhelming sleepy and mildly sick. 6-10 mg seems to be too much for me. I have limited access to materials to smoke it due to legality in my area. I also am not keen on damaging my lungs either.
I keep going back to it now and then hoping I’ll get something out of it, but it just unfortunately doesn’t seem to do anything for me. I wish I could use it to replace alcohol because alcohol gives me intense GI upset with even small amounts. But I simply don’t get any positive effects from weed at all whatsoever. The sleeping pill part is sort of useful on the rare occasion I have trouble sleeping. But usually my problem is the opposite…I can’t stay awake on a regular basis without any drugs. So purposefully taking something to knock me out isn’t great.
My wife swears by coca cola and pickle juice, but I just grab a Gatorade.
Gatorade and something greasy always fixes me up pretty quickly
Really good, flavorful, salty beef jerky preferably handcraft small batch type stuff works for me, along with several glasses of water. But what do I know? I only spent 30 years in intensive hangover prevention and cure.
If you get hangxiety, phosphatidylserine works a treat.
Light exercise (even a walk) will do wonders. If you can.
Otherwise chillout. Play some games, scroll the internet, watch your shows. Assuming these are things you do at least on a weekly basis anyway, you may as well do them when you’re too meh to be more productive.
Stuff your face and try and get moving around
My brain always tries to convince me to eat greasy heavy food, but that never seems to help much. For some reason an apple always makes me feel much better. After that it’s just headache drugs and time.
Hangover days are biscuits and gravy. The heavy salt and grease make up for a lot of it.
If that fails, I would go to Tylenol and electrolyte drinks.
Chilli fries with lots of mustard. Plenty of water. Haven’t had a hangover since discovering the wonders of red bean chilli
I was visiting our public swimming pool, and as I was already there: sauna. But cautiously. Got rid of a really bad hangover with a sauna and swimming in a few hours last spring. Works like magic. Plus of course large amounts of water and fruits.
Antihistamines will stop the headache, can I also suggest a breakfast carbonara? (Do NOT use cream like some sort of maniac, fry bacon (or pancetta) and onion (and maybe mushrooms) in oil, grate some parmesan (or pecorino), boil the pasta for 10 minutes, lightly whisk a couple of eggs when the pasta is almost done, drain the pasta, mix the whisked egg, fried delights and cheese through the pasta, season, devour.)
Also before you fry the bacon, onion and maybe mushroom you should chop them up …
Its too late for today but I guess I need to drink tonight so I can try that tomorrow haha
Try to also drink some of water between your alcoholic drinks tonight! It helps A LOT.
I don’t
A 2011 study in rats claims caffeine and NSAIDs
Once the source of the hangover headache was located, the researchers then set about figuring out how to get rid of the pesky things, using known headache blockers. Turns out the combination of caffeine and over-the-counter inflammatory drugs (i.e., NSAIDs – things like aspirin and ibuprofen) were best at blocking the head-pounding effects of the acetate.
Yup. Midol apparently.
So my tea and ibuprofen breakfast was the right idea!
I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it yet but next time take the ibuprofen before going to bed (while still intoxicated). My friends and I always set out an ibuprofen next to the bed before drinking to remember. You’ll feel 10x better in the morning.
Hey hey hey, you’re on your way to a speedy recovery!!
I try to avoid ibuprofen or Tylenol as they’re hard on the liver and kidneys which are already working overtime to flush the alcohol out of your system.
This is what I do when I have a raging headache the next morning. Eat some protein, drink lots of water, and take an ibuprofen. I’m usually good by the time afternoon comes.
I clean the house as a form of punishment. Then some kind of brunch with eggs, strong coffee, and NO mimosas.
I don’t know how people’s bodies work when they say they drink coffee and greasy food after a hangover. If I’m hungover, that would be a sure fire recipe to get me to start puking and shitting everywhere.
