Hangover Cures: What's Your Favorite?


I could use a little help today with finding a good hangover cure.

Here's the best ones I know, from my parents, who have 50+ years experience perfecting hangover cures:



  • Take preventive action. When you get home on the night in question, take two aspirin and drink a HUGE glass of water. This one came from my mom. I modified it with input from a friend who's an RN and told me aspirin upsets the stomach, so a non-aspirin pain reliever is best.
  • Go to the track and drink bloody marys. This one is from my dad. Hair of the dog, and all that.
Here's my favorite hangover cure: Punish yourself. I like to do a bunch of chores that I've been putting off and generally make myself feel miserable. I don't know the psychological ramifications, but man, it always makes me feel better.

I'm open to suggestions, so tell me: What's your favorite hangover cure?

Water is a must the night of. If you've been drinkin' you've been, er, draining much of your bodily liquid way. It's a diuretic. So, drink water, as you go, and before you go to sleep, and when you wake up. I'd avoid acetaminophen, as that's hard on your liver. If you can take it, aspin is probably better. I also like to pop a bit of B-complex, and a couple Ginkgo Biloba. Seems to get one's brain working better faster. If not, well can't hurt.

A nice hamburger from the Anchor Grill or Zola seems to help, as does a nice V-8 Virgin Mary with about 3oz. beef consume' in it.

Not that I'd ever know about such things.

Pot. Wake and bake, best solution. Not that I'd ever know about such things either. Also after your second drink start doing a sodawater and lime between drinks.

mark, I can barely remember to drink a glass of water... Let alone take vitamin supplements! Thanks for the tips, though.

Anon, I knew someone would come up with wake and bake. And yes, I'm sure you've only heard about this cure, never tried it yourself! LOL

I think I've reached the age where hangover cures no longer work.

If I overdo it the night before then I'm completely useless the entire next day.

I don't even have to "overdo" it these days to feel it the next day. It only takes a couple of beers to lay me out!

I have actually stopped drinking beer for the most part. I really feel it. It's the sugars/carbs. I try to limit my carbo intake anyway, so I'm probably more sensitive, but I feel like hell after drinking not much beer at all.

I mostly stick to red wine and I feel much better, even if I over do it.

Gotta love Liquor Direct and "the 'Fonz" for help getting great values on great wine.

I am not supposed to have beer at all, in my attempts to be gluten-dairy-etc.-free, but sometimes I can't help myself! And I love red wine, but the tannins kill me the next day.

Everything is probably ok in moderation.

I remain unmoderated, however. That's the real issue at hand!
