Paracetamol, full fat coke and a banana Grin

Carbs. Loads of carbs.

This won't help you today but I've found that since I went back to my teenage years and started drinking vodka rather than cid r or wine, I've not had a hangover - I was at the stage of considering giving up alcohol all together as the hangovers were getting so Bad!

I believe gin is the same for its non hangover properties

Roll and square sausage with loads of butter and a can of Irn Bru. Never fails.

DoItTooJulia · 15/07/2017 10:11

Shower. Fluid. Painkillers. Salty carbs. Makeup. And a smile. Repeat! You'll be fine!

Bottle of Sprite, a cheese and bacon wrap from Gregg's followed by a packet of Frazzles whilst watching Heartbeat on ITV2

theredjellybean · 15/07/2017 10:13

for future ...two paracetemol, 2 pints of water and 2 nexium before bed prevents hangover in morning

AlmostAJillSandwich · 15/07/2017 10:13

Pop into a chemist and grab a ready made dioralyte drink. You get hung over due to dehydration because alcohol is a dehydrant so your electrolytes are messed up, similar to when you get dehydrated from sickness/diarhoea.
Dioralyte is packed with all the electrolytes you need to rebalance what you've lost, and also sip adequate water throughout the day to rehydrate.

Supernoodles.
And I agree about the gin - no hangover for me on that, give me a glass of wine and I'm a gonner for days :(

SEX!? Does that not make your head hurt even more?
Ok, got the coke. Going to raid the cupboards for carbs, might take the duvet with me!
Your right Doit make up is definitely going to be my bestfriend today

Red jellybean you sound like a pro!
I agree I'm normally ok with vodka but we had wine with dinner so i mixed my drinks BIG mistake so was the karoke.

Now i really want Gregg's or KFC, might wake DH up and send him.

For some reason I always find soluble painkillers better for hangovers, chased with water and greasy food.
Although last time I had one drink I spent the next day clutching a cushion on the sofa Blush

honeylulu · 15/07/2017 10:32

Plenty of water then tea/coffee.
Bacon sandwich and salt and vinegar crisps (helps if you have a slave to bring you all this stuff as you wallow in bed).
Sex (the natural endorphins from an orgasm are very effective painkiller)
If you can possibly bear it, some exercise. I would not believe it except from experience. The boost to your metabolism kicks your liver into gear and gets it processing out the toxins.
More water.
A good poo.
Hot shower.
Another short lay down if you can bear it.
If your stomach feels dodgy, a dose of Pepto Bismal (very settling at both ends haha.)
Hair of the dog (I swear by a bloody Mary).
Good luck!

MaidOfStars · 15/07/2017 10:34

I am hungover. Drunk bed was 3am.

We have had sex and are just out to the local cafe for eggs Benedict and newspapers. We will buy fizzy pop and crisps on the way home.

Good luck with your day, OP! When do you have to be normal by?

TealStar · 15/07/2017 10:37

I'm hungover today after a week of 'clean living' then two glasses of red last night. Feel bloody terrible but can't eat any greasy carbs due to diet. I might have to binge on a banana.

Op when I'm not on some stupid clean living diet, a bacon sandwich is the only answer.

Pollydonia · 15/07/2017 10:38

Carbs, carbs, full fat coke and more carbs. Good luck BrewCake

ImNotShpanishImEgyptshun · 15/07/2017 10:40

Fanta lemon. It's backed up by science and works like magic on proper throwing up hangovers.

Flanderspigeonmurderer · 15/07/2017 10:40

A long shower
Lots of tea/coffee/fruit juice
Painkillers
Eye drops
A nap

I need to be absolutely not hungover by 1. I'm currently laying on the sofa in my PJ's with fizzy and ready salted crisps. Watching four in a bed is helping. Sex seem highly rated maybe I'll test out the theory Grin

Codeine with paracetamol every time.

Diorylite for hydration.

Peppermint tea.

skippy85 · 15/07/2017 10:44

Paracetomol, lucozade and a banana. Half an hour you will be fine

SwearyG0dmother · 15/07/2017 10:45

Firstly a hot cup of tea that will come back up. Then:

A warm, not hot, shower
Pickled onion monster munch
Very cold fizzy something
Marmite toast
Painkillers.

Keep grazing all day and you'll get through it. All carbs.
