Would anyone care to share their best hangover remedies?

Way too much to drink last night and up far too late.

I have so much to do today, what can I do to make myself feel better. Have drunk some water.

A ‘milk’ shake, mashed banana, oat milk and peanut butter blended together, if the peanut butter is unsalted add a 1/4 tsp of salt.

Andrews
Eat stodge
Coffee (not straight after Andrews though!)
Paracetamol & Ibuprofen
And repeatedly saying "I am never drinking again!"

It depends on the nature of your hangover. Banging head and achy bones? Water, ibuprofen, fresh air if you can manage it.

Anxious, tearful, shaky, queasy? Salt and vinegar crisps, lemonade with ice, rescue remedy, bath.

Throwing up? Just gotta ride it out I’m afraid...

Headachy, queasy, and achy? Fry up, ibuprofen, orange juice.

Alka seltzer excess. Take before bed (too late for you), then again in the morning. Works a treat.

Alternatively - carbs then paracetamol. Bacon sandwich followed by Maccy D's lunch.

Or if you can bear it - struggle through to midday and start drinking again. (You can only get away with that today as it's BH tomorrow. And get in the Alka seltzer for tonight.

I am never drinking again.

Full fat coke. Bacon sandwich. Warm bath/shower. Paracetamol. Berrocca. Get dressed and get a little fresh air (sit in garden/open window).

Forgive yourself for your excess Smile

Can you eat something stodgy drink a glass of full fat coke and go back to sleep for an hour or so ? Then midday have a hair of the dog - will go down like lead but will work

ThanosSavedMe · 05/05/2019 09:59

Fried egg on toast and can of full fat coke

MagpieTree · 05/05/2019 10:01

Okay, have had a slice of last night’s pizza and made a barrocca. Also opened the window for fresh air.

This is too late but the best prevention is milk thistle before bed.

SimonJT · 05/05/2019 10:03

A good shag once the banana ‘milk’ shake has gone down works quite well too.

missconflicted · 05/05/2019 10:03

Berocca over ice aka berocca on the rocks 😂
Salt and vinegar crisps
Full fat coke
McDonald's
Bath
Loads of water

DragonMamma · 05/05/2019 10:08

Ice lollies - trust me. I am the queen of hangovers and they save my bacon every time. Gets fluids in you but doesn’t make you sick and it helps with the dry mouth.

Then, when you’re feeling a bit more human, egg on toast. The egg does something to the alcohol and toast is just carby goodness!

MagpieTree · 05/05/2019 10:08

@SimonJT please can you not mention bananas again. It’s not helping Grin

I do have a suspicious friction burn on my elbow, however I don’t remember any shagging.

OP posts:
DragonMamma · 05/05/2019 10:09

Also agree on the shag. It is a miracle cure sometimes.

LoafofSellotape · 05/05/2019 10:11

As many carbs as you can possible eat 😂

MagpieTree · 05/05/2019 10:11

Would the shag need to be with someone else?

OP posts:
NC4Now · 05/05/2019 10:12

Caffeine and carbs.

SimonJT · 05/05/2019 10:13

@MagpieTree

Preferably, but a wank might do!

funkylittleboatrace · 05/05/2019 10:14

Full fat can of coke bag of mini cheddars and a bar of galaxy.

MagpieTree · 05/05/2019 10:14

Okay, but I probably should close the window first.

OP posts:
MagpieTree · 05/05/2019 10:15

I don’t have any coke. What could I have instead?
