Heavy night ?

I try to just drink lots of water, cleans you out.

Drink! Drink! Drink!

At least a pint of water and a couple of paracetamol before bed time - fool proof.

As long as you don't just gulp the water down as that'll make you feel kinda ill for a bit before going to bed.

Lemsip or just hot Ribena and a parecetamol always works for me. I've suggested it to other people and they have found it works too.

Gotta learn to drink more water!

Orange juice in the morning is a treat!

Noooo, not citric acid, it's the worst thing! Hot sweet tea or coffee in the morning and then plenty of bacon or sausages and you're ready to go again.

IMO it's good to drink plenty of water before going to bed, it sort of dissipates the alcohol a little.

Edit. Didn't see OBL's post above, although is minus the paracetomol.

Yeah thats the one...works for me. Only thing is it needs to be done before you go to bed. Alas, if I need a pint of water before I go to bed I am usually too hammered to remember...:stunned:

Other drawback is you tend to need the loo......

A lot of people say Irn Brew does the trick. Personally can't stand the stuff but that's what I have been told.

go back to sleep. end of thread.

Can you seriously do that though when you need the loo and your tongue is furred up to the roof of your mouth?

What kind of wild parties do you attend? :stunned:

It's a dim and distant memory of what it was like being young and having unencumbered fun! That, or a bottle of red - same effect.

Thanks for the help!

Not sure if I would have been able to get a pint of water together last night.

Had a few beers with me mates tonight and Im feeling fine. :)

I love this point in the sites list of do's:

6. Eat mineral rich food like pickles or canned fish.

Now I've had a few hangovers in my time and, drawing on that experience, trying the above will only have me hurling my way to the grave.

For me, there's no cure, just prevention. Water and panadol before going to sleep. The fewer drinks I mix, the better.
