if its just a mild hangover, i'll wake up, drink some water and take some advil and deal with it.

i've had full day hangovers though, which i typically get through by trying not to vomit, drinking water, and not eating anything for a good while.

Can't hurt to try it, right? :confused:

So, I should try taking a bunch of nitrous to cure my hangover? Or should I try the oxygen? :confused:

Nitrous of course. You can get oxygen from breathing :confused:

The lady is convincing me to try these pre-drinking hangover cure pills tonight before we go to the office Christmas party. I'll report back tomorrow on how well they work, though I do not typically get hangovers. She does though, so she'll be a good authority on the effectiveness of said pills.

Don't do it. They contain avian flu. She's trying to off you to be with her lesbian lover, that she called off of work yesterday to be with :confused:

One of the things I have found that works is NOT to mix red wine with shitty beer. Unfortunately, one of my friends always has both.

Maybe, but she said we could do my hangover cure too, so avian flu/ebola pills, I don't really care. ;)

dunno bout nitrous... but ive heard that hungover pilots would use oxygen because it burned the alchohol out of their systems quicker

i have heard that oxygen does help. dive instructor told me the extra O2 in nitrox was a good cure, havent tried it personally
to stop the spins when trying to fall asleep dangling a leg over the edge of the bed to the floor really works for me

You buy that to have around for Mexicans to drink, after they cut your grass, and harvest your crops and shit. :confused:

But yeah, mixing the two is a deathtrap.

In between drinks Ill force myself to have a glass of water. Then, before I head off to bed, I down a gatorade, more water, and three ibuprofen. Has worked like a charm for the last 3 years. (Which is how long I've been drinking)

I make sure I keep hydrated all the time and I don't really have a problem with hangovers. Occasionally I'll experience some residual buzz in the morning, which a bowl compliments nicely. But I never have headache or nausea.

Do you guys stick only one kind of drink? I found if I do that I get way less drunk, but also way less hungover the next day.
