Got a little too carried away with the rosé at a bbq yesterday and feel ROUGH today.

I’ve tried egg on toast, coffee, water, paracetamol but still feel ridiculously queasy and headachey

What are your fail safe cures??!

Iron bru, the best hangover cure. Or hair of the dog. 😂

Groovester · 13/06/2021 12:28

I also came in to say Irn Bru Grin

CirqueDeMorgue · 13/06/2021 12:29

Two (and only two) pints. Or sleep, if you can.

Justmuddlingalong · 13/06/2021 12:30

Iron bru. Not the diet stuff.

Youngatheart00 · 13/06/2021 12:31

I’m not in Scotland…can I get Irn Bru anywhere? Sainsbury’s? Not sure I can face a trip out and coming back empty handed….especially as the threat of vomiting is very real. This is why I don’t usually drink!!

Diaralyte (sp?)

Youngatheart00 · 13/06/2021 12:32

Something greasy and carby. And then keep up the carbs all day.
I mean, you might retch getting the first mouthful down, but it's worth it Grin

PivotPivotPivottt · 13/06/2021 12:35

Nothing. Sleep. And even that doesn't help me much I take about 2 days to recover which is why I hardly ever drink now Sad

hippidyhiphip · 13/06/2021 12:35

Maccy d's salty chips and a full fat coke!

Moonshine11 · 13/06/2021 12:37

Berocca
Ice
McDonald’s
Cool shower
Naps

Youngatheart00 · 13/06/2021 12:40

Ok I’ve decided a nap is all I can face, maybe a McDonald’s when I wake up. Urghhh.

Fat coke and a toasted cheese sandwich. It has to be a toasted sandwich rather than cheese on toast so the rubbery cheese doesn't make you gag!

Thekormachameleon · 13/06/2021 12:49

Big Mac meal and coke from maccies, followed with two paracetamol and a nap

Youngatheart00 · 13/06/2021 18:20

Update - I think I’m just about coming out the other side. WHY are hangovers so AWFUL as we age??!!

Next time marmite on toast is my go to, maybe with a soft boiled egg to dip into.

With orange juice diluted with water.

I may need this tomorrow

ScottishNewbie · 13/06/2021 18:56

Those natural ginger sea sickness tablets and Nexium and an electrolyte sachet.
One of each and you're good to go!
Best to have them before bed while still drunk, but they will work just fine now.
My routine for no hangover (and I mean none).

While drunk, have one each of the tablets above.
A very large glass of water with the electrolyte satchet and either some crackers or a slice of plain bread.

You'll wake up absolutely fine every time.

ivfbabymomma1 · 13/06/2021 19:21

There is no cure apart from going to bed and waking up the next day. I'm sorry 😢

Youngatheart00 · 13/06/2021 21:13

You’re right, that morning after a hangover day is practically joyful!! Everything is right with the world again!

BrownEyedGirl80 · 13/06/2021 21:13

A mcdonalds a nap then 2glasses of wine

givewillowabreak · 13/06/2021 21:18

Lucozade sport. One before bed with two paracetamol and one in the morning

AutistGoth · 13/06/2021 21:20

Marmite on toast and LOADS of water to drink.

Hottesttrikeintown · 13/06/2021 21:24

Cocodamol. Kills headache and also makes you feel happier and less anxious

Should add this is not a regular cure. Just a one off once a year or so

CirqueDeMorgue · 13/06/2021 23:20

Am I the only one who can't handle greasy food when I'm hanging? It triggers my bowels stomach.

billy1966 · 13/06/2021 23:34

Ditto here🙄

Hot buttered toast topped with sliced banana and drizzled with honey and a cup of tea with a pain killer.

Roll over for a little dose and generally feel much better.

Don't want to see white wine for a bit though🤢
