Oli 1 Report post Posted August 1, 2008 I feel like I'm about to lapse into a coma. Sum total of drinks drunk last night: 1 pint (small American version of pint) of p**s-weak lager 3 glasses of Californian Zinfandel This is over nearly a seven hour time period. I must be getting old. Anyone got any old family remedies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YHR 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2008 You are dehydrated. Drink more. I agree with this. Always drink large quantities of water near the end of an evening out. IT took me 25 years to learn this, but at some time in the evening switch to water even if you have only been drinking moderately. A couple of big glasses of water just before bed can make a world of difference by morning!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quiet One 15 Report post Posted August 2, 2008 Bah. I say quit fermented drinks altogether (beer, champagne, wine, etc.) go for distilled drinks (whisky, vodka, gin). Fermented drinks are for pussies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minchia! 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2008 For me it is champagne. I can drink anything else all night long and be fine in the morning. If I have 2 glasses of bubbley, I wake up wishing I was dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oli 1 Report post Posted August 2, 2008 If you developed cramp as well, then maybe don't take so much viagra before-hand? Well, it won't work if I take it afterwards........:-) A big huge fat burger, followed by a pint of full fat milk. Works a treat! This is the advice I took in the end. That and time works a treat. If you're ever in America and get horribly drunk, I strongly advise visiting this place: http://www.carlsjr.com/home Note that it won't be the best burger you've ever had, but it'll certainly be the greasiest....... Have you tried to drink only good wine?Red wine better. The stuff I was drinking was $260 a bottle, so I'd hope it should have been good enough! But you're right, I spoiled it by starting out the evening with the crappy beer. For me it is champagne. I can drink anything else all night long and be fine in the morning. If I have 2 glasses of bubbley, I wake up wishing I was dead. Oddly enough for me champagne has no effect on me unless I drink it literally by the gallon. Sadly I don't like it much, so I have to stick to the stuff which destroys me (i.e. every other alcoholic drink ever made). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted August 2, 2008 Very good. Though I do wonder what kind of pharmacological expert has to ask a physicist for hang-over remedies. Plus physicists never get out enough to get drunk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oli 1 Report post Posted August 2, 2008 Very good. Though I do wonder what kind of pharmacological expert has to ask a physicist for hang-over remedies. Plus physicists never get out enough to get drunk. One of the curses of a degree in Pharmacology is that they never tell you the things you really need to know in life. I can tell you the mode of action and efficacy of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors, but not how to make my head stop hurting. University education is so overrated. Note- on reflection under hangover conditions I probably wouldn't even have been able to say "Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shampion 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2008 Prevention for hang-over (like YHR says) ...... lots of water before pass out and two aspirin. Cure for hang-over... One huge cold milkshake when you get up and drink it fast! Taken me also 25+ years to perfect ... Personally I prefer the prevention method rather than the cure!
