HANGOVERS...what to do?

[Harvey]

There's always the French cure for the migraine... the Guillotine.

Seriously, a hangover is nature's way of telling you you overdid it. If you feel the need to drink that much, you need serious help. Please get some. Meanwhile, if you don't have a problem with asprin, take a couple before you go to sleep.

Most obvious is to stop boozing. I can't drink much without a hangover regardless of what I do. What does help though is a lot of hydration - gatorade works well. Also a lot of sleep. For me that is just as important as hydration. By hydration I mean before going ot bed drink so much water/gatorade that your stomach is so bloated it actually hurts. Also a lot of food is great before bed.

If I've had so much that a lot of sleep, hydration, and food can't help it I normally wake up at around 6:00 or so anyway and I put back another half liter of water plus a healthy dosage of tylenol/aspirin, and then I'm ready to go later.

So your friends are:
- hydration
- food
- sleep
- pills

2 advil before you go to bed....my freshman year R.A. told me that advil, not tylenol or any other generic form of ibuprofein (sp?), contains some chemical that will prevent you from being hungover the next day.....

Party it up my friend....don't let work stop you!!!

The fastest way to kick a hangover is to drink some more alcohol

Actually, just as the other said, alcohol replaces (even displaces) the water in you blood stream. When I drink, I try to match the number of drinks I have with glasses of water. So far it has worked.

I'm always fine as long as I;
stick to the vodka
drink water and snack on something before i fall in to bed...
and DONT DOWN DOUBLES
I've made that mistake a few times... and always regretted it. ouch!
