I'm far too lazy to search for an already existing thread on this topic. I need suggestions for getting rid of this hangover... fast. I feel as though I could ralph at any second. I've tried water. And food. Going home to bed is not an option. It is only noon and I have 5 hours left. Please don't tell me to quit drinking; I have already promised myself that and it didn't help the hangover one bit!
Isn't there something I can buy at Walgreens?

Just reading that made me gag!but I found this, so I'll see what it has to say-- http://www.tcpunk.com/ubb/Forum21/HTML/000140.html well, that thread was absolutely no help.
Anybody ever try that Emergen-C shit? [This message has been edited by vendetta77 (edited 11-18-2002).] IP: Logged |

Ibuprofin & coffee.Go get one of those expensive juice drinks with extra stuff in it... Like at Sola Squeeze. You are dehydrated and deprived of vitamins. IP: Logged |

Protein...I recommend a fried egg and toast for lunch. Raid the work first aid kit and look for "pain Aid" or "pain ease"...it's an excedrin knockoff...has asprin, acetomenefin (sp?) and caffeine. It is the OTC hangover cure god. BUT, if you really feel *that* bad, I suggest evacuating your stomach (if you can) and starting over. The acid levels in there are probably just too high for you to digest anything at this point. I'm sorry to hear it's that bad. Where the hell were you last night? Big V's? IP: Logged |

Reading "fried egg" almost put me over the edge, DEA. Thanks.
It's mostly a stomach thing... won't that Pain Aid stuff upset me tummy?
I've already had 2 cups of coffee and it just made my DTs more intense.
I think I'm gonna try some sort of Jamba Juice concoction...And I was at the Rock Room. Stupid fucking rice beer... IP: Logged |

Acids will only upset your stomach further. You need to lay off the coffee and citrus juice until it settles. Try some plain starch or protein, some water (small sips are better than chugging) and THEN some pain killers/caffeine. Once you've gotten over the urge to get sick (I usually just give in and feel better in the long run), get some vitamins and detox goodies in you...that blended juice stuff should do the trick.[This message has been edited by DEA (edited 11-18-2002).] IP: Logged |

I've gotta disagree slightly with the protein thing. Alcohol will fuck up the stomach but it will also slow down the liver which may make the transition between the 2 organs not so smooth. My dad has hepetitus and claims he can't digest eggs well.I'll agree with puking. Eat something, puke it up, wait an hour, then eat something light and nutritious like wild rice soup or a motzaball soup. If the stomach's hurting, stay away from strong citrus like orange juice (bothers me, might not bother you though.) However the yogurt mixed in with the smoothies along with the "boosters" counteract the acids and should make you feel better. IP: Logged |

V77, did you not learn from Saturday Morning? Okay, when I have a Massive Hangover here is my process that usually works to a T. -Get home
-TAKE TYLENOL BEFORE GOING TO BED!! (this is crucial in avoiding the headache)
-Make sure you eat some toast or something simple and light before going to bed. Soak up that alchohol people!
-When you get up in the morning and you feel quesy-BARF That way it's not dragged out all morning-afternoon. You may need to repeat this step a few times. A good way to get this process rolling AND avoid the dry heaves is to SLAM WATER.
-Once you've settled a bit from that, take some more Tylenol, drink water slowly, then grab a PowerAde, or GatorAde on the way in to the office. Helps rehydrate you and is pretty blah (as not to upset the tummy anymore).
-Brush your teeth, I do a couple times during the day, minty fresh breath is easier on the tummy than nasty all day coffee breath.
-Eat good food, go to Subway or similar establishment and get a sandwich, DON'T DO FRIED OR GREASY with a Sprite. Hope that helps for the next time girlie! IP: Logged |

Of course, yogurt can also give you "sour" stomach, I guess, which will make you puke again, so use at your own discretion.Sometimes though, the dairy will coat the stomach, making it feel better. I think it depends on if there's still alcohol in your stomach or not. IP: Logged |

GO to the bathroom.Stick 2 fingers down your throat, pretending you're a sophmore girl at Edina High. Vomit profusely and violently. Get a shot of something after work to gradually bring the alcohol level back down. We all know how much "cold turkey" sucks. Finally, call me the biggest asshole you've ever met, because Friday morning I felt great! IP: Logged |

There is only one rice beer, and I pity thee for having to drink that. Was it free?I work every once and a while at a pizza place I've worked for six years. They always drink the Bud Light. I'll drink it. It's free. Maybe a snap or two, too, but that's on a generous night. IP: Logged |

I can't make myself barf. I just can't do it. Never been able to.
Thanks for the advise everybody. Still a little queasy, but I'm feeling better. I had a bite-sized snickers and a few liters of water.If anyone is familiar with the "Grape Ape" at the Urban, I believe that is what did me in. IP: Logged |

Eat some warm fattening food when you're hung over. It will soak up the alcohol in a jiffy. You can exercise later.During a recent binge I downed a couple of fifths of vodka with OJ in about two hours and on the way home stopped at SA for a couple of their snack sandwiches and a Snickers ice cream bar. Worked like a charm. IP: Logged |

This is quite liver toxic.
Use at your own risk.

GOOD GOD NOOOOOOOO!!!! Stay away from those fuckers, there have been many a bad hangover from them. They are pure evil, and must be destroyed. Although they are mighty tasty I have a love hate relationship with Grape Apes. [This message has been edited by HooliganKat (edited 11-19-2002).] IP: Logged |

i've heard that from many sources, along with sports drinks. in my few experiences trying them, they worked, though i drank water along with it. that stuff is kind of spendy. i s'spose just drink enough water to replace what was pissed away. (alcohol's diuretic) [This message has been edited by vote for bernie (edited 11-19-2002).] IP: Logged |

That alka seltzer morning releif - feel better than you should stuff actually works pretty good. Has like some sort of asprin type stuff and caffeine in it, plus nice and gentle on the stomach....I like the sports drinks ala gatorade and stuff as well, helps hydrate you at least which is one of the main causes of hangovers....

Dear god. I'm going to print this out and bring it along home with me because I'll need all the advice I can get. It's time to do a company-sponsored "get to know your new coworkers" at Luce. Last time we did a company-sponsored drink-a-thon I barely made it home and hung my head in the toilet for awhile. I actually had to sleep on the bathroom floor for fear I'd vomit in my bed.IP: Logged |

Yup, it works pretty darn good but it has a thick milk like consistency thats quite strange in a clear liquid.
Yogurt usually settles my sour tummy.
I dont often get headaches (hung over or not)so I cant help on that one.
Boy, a good bloody mary with a beer back sure sounds nice right about now.

Several things that generally work for me:
Gatorade, the original lemon/lime flavor usually works best.
If you end up at a bar, soda water and bitters
Beer and/or a shot
soup or just plain old broth.
I always keep a big ass bottle of water by my bed, I try to drink at least half before going to bed and generally end up waking up and finishing the remainder and refilling.On the rare occasions that I'm throwing up and the Gatorade won't even stay down, slowwwwwwwly sipping on a glass of water, no ice with a lemon or lime squeezed into it usually does the trick. The lemon or lime is fairly vital, it adds some substance, but doesn't have all the extras that Gatorade does, so it's a lil easier for you to absorb. And since it's room temperature, it doesn't shock one's sensitive belly as much. IP: Logged |
