Hangovers

[justheretoread99]

Ice cold glass of still water
Fried egg sandwich on a white thick cob/roll/barn/muffin/bap/bread cake(whatever you call them, you know what I mean!)
A HOT bath (to sweat it out)
Another ice cold glass of still water with 2 paracetamol & 2 ibuprofen
A nap.
Something sweet. (Chocolate/cake)
Another ice cold glass of still water.
Some fresh air.
More food. Preferably a takeaway.
Bed.

In that order

Wake up & have a pint of weak squash & 2 paracetamol.

Drink some lucozade sport.

Something greasy for breakfast.

Back to bed & hopefully get some more sleep.

Get up and have a Chinese and swear never to drink again

Although I don’t seem to have hangovers with vodka ? Wine and cider seem to give me them though

I am also someone who needs to sleep through it. I find that drinking makes my sleep terrible and that just exacerbates the hangover feeling. Sleeping through the hangover also reduces my exposure to "the fear" that I always get with a hangover. 17 years of drinking and I am yet to find anything that actually helps me really.

Really sugary drinks like lucozade or irn bru. Then lots of carbs, usually Gregg's for lunch followed by pizza for dinner. And crisps for snacks , salt and vinegar or ready salted

I have a couple of hangover cures that arent pleasant but totally work.

They are...

- water with a tiny bit of salt, it takes the edge off the sicky feeling
- a shot of the vinegar from gherkins
- anything with ginger in, even ginger cake
- a cold shower
- if you can remember to, 2 ibuprofen before you go to sleep the night before. You won't feel nearly as bad when you wake up

Alcohol is just so unpredictable

Sometimes I can drink ALL night and get no hangover. I was recently at a 6 day festival abroad and drank for 6 nights and was only going to bed at 7am. I only had a hangover (although I did scran a load of carbs and drink a litre of before going to sleep but still!)

At home I can have 1 glass of wine and feel rough

Last year I went to the pub with my friend and had 3 aperol spritz and a double gin. Not that much in the grand scheme of things but the next day I was throwing up ALL day

I just don't know

 

[monga]

Omeprazole and two Ibuprofen

Sooooo after suffering from an absolutely brutal hangover I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone’s tips, tricks and cures are.
Absolutely nothing works for me, I just have to go to bed all day and sleep it off. I get absolutely dreadful hangovers, always have unfortunately. I’ve always wondered why some people can get away with not having them!

 

[Cooksie]

McDonalds strawberry milkshake. I don’t know what magic it contains but that and a nap and I’m good to go!

 

[NormaBates]

Interesting thread!! And very relatable!!
For me it's the awful sleep drinking causes. I'm out like a light for a few hours then I wake up in the early hours feeling dog rough and I can't get back to sleep so feel absolutely knackered the next day.
The only thing that helps me.... And I've tried everything... Is drinking less

 

[HoGi]

The terrible sleep impacts me too.

I also hate the churning belly and find if I eat constantly I feel OK, but as soon as I stop I feel grim.

I have had 2 hangovers in the past month, not horrendous ones but ones that make me feel rough for a whole day. So going to stop drinking until my holiday at the end of June

 

[theghosttown]

Depends on the severity of the hangover

If I'm being throwing all day literally nothing helps. I shove my fingers down my throat to get it all up and try to sleep it off. When I've finally stopped being sick I'll have some paracetamol and water and try to eat!

They are literally the worst type of hangovers

That is exactly the kind of hangover I get. I actually find I hit a peak and that is when I am really throwing up and then after that I start to feel a lot better. So brutal though. People who don’t really get them just don’t understand!

I love this thread. I’m pregnant at the moment but let me tell you when I’ve book marked this for the second the baby is out

My top tip (which is actually something most sensible people would do anyway haha) is to ease yourself back into drinking. My first night out was 2 months after my baby was born and I went to a bottomless brunch. We ended up out from midday til 11pm and I literally thought I was going to die the next day

All of that apart from take away (maybe) would make me vomit I’m such a write off when it comes to hangovers these days.

Eurgh my hangovers have gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. I used to be able to get up and get on with it, whilst feeling terrible. But now I have to spend a couple of days in bed, even if I can’t sleep, I just feel too awful to move. I try and drink plenty of fluids and eat as healthy as possible the day after (whilst also enjoying some carbs), get in the bath or shower and then get an early night the night. Sometimes I can’t manage a shower and have to wait until I’ve finally recovered and slept it off.

 

[rebremm99]

I get the worst hangovers ever! Really, really bad nausea. I can lessen them by drinking an Alka Selzer before bed, along with as much water as I can remember to drink
In the morning another alka seltzer and dioralyte, ice cold can of Coke and some sort of greasy food!

 

[Tinkerbell cat]

I always swore by pure orange juice or lucozade but now I find a big pint glass with loads of ice cubes and a straw to be just as good!
Also has to be eating little and often - chips, crisps, anything greasy.
ALWAYS keep a bottle of water by the bed for through the night, avoid fizzy drinks until you actually get up.

I went out on Thursday night to the local and then we decided on a spontaneous trip to London on Friday - last night so yesterday I was rough as toast. The flight home was brutal and I felt so sick to the point I struggled to breath. All fun at the time but brutal hangovers like that make you question if its even worth it half the time.

Believe me I’ve almost vomited multiple times in a hot bath But afterwards when ive cooled down and chugged some ice water I feel amazing.

 

[MrsFishandChips]

I actually find now when I do drink as my sleep goes all fucked up anyway to just sip sip sip and sip at water all night and by the time I eventually do get up I’m not that bad saying that I do rarely drink now but I’m always more tired than anything. I’m not very sociable so when I do socialise it drains me

 

[freshhead]

I kid you not it’s taken me a full 10
Days to get over my birthday hangover - which consisted of two bottles of white Zinfandel and half a bottle of Prosecco. I rarely drink, and it’s been years since I’ve drank that much in one sitting. Planning on drinking again over the jubilee weekend but will be steering clear of wine, it really fucked me up
