So today we're off to MILs house for a family gathering. I have a horrendous hangover we went out for a quick dinner yesterday and didn't roll in til one. I need to not look and feel like I've been at an all night party. Help!

1pt of milk and a banana. Sounds weird but I got through my reckless teenage years on this.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 15/07/2017 10:54

Fizzy water, paracetamol, then a croissant and a coffee. More fizzy water. Find something to do. I find that being busy distracts me from the yuck feeling... Then lots of makeup.

Bottle of Tropicana and a roll of Softmints

A few hours later eat the entire contents of the house

Will you be drinking at MILs? If so have a few straight away and that'll get you through to home time.

maltedmilk1 · 15/07/2017 11:10

Fizzy water as it's always easier on the stomach and a bag of salt and vinegar mccoys! Worked for morning sickness as well! Hate hangovers so much!

TonicAndTonic · 15/07/2017 11:13

Crisps! Sounds like you have that one covered already OP. I find ibuprofen better than paracetamol but you have to be sure to have a fullish stomach before taking them. Travel sickness tablets are also good for nausea... The sex thing does work, though it's probably the last thing you feel like, a good orgasm really helps! Then fresh air, preferably a cool and breezy walk if the weather is amenable.

Doobigetta · 15/07/2017 11:18

Dioralyte, soluble painkillers, milk thistle, berocca.

MumBod · 15/07/2017 11:22

Two paracetamol washed down with a berocca.
A massive bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes.
A big coffee.
A fishfinger butty.
Several episodes of Friends.
A nap.
A beer.

Clg199 · 15/07/2017 11:25

A Big Mac meal with full fat Coke, and Anadin. No other painkillers come close to Anadin (except co-codamol and other pharmacy only ones)

MCDONALDS BREAKFAST

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 15/07/2017 11:36

Loads of carbs, orange juice.

Sex does work for me, but it only stalls the hangover. When the sex has finished, the hangover is back with a vengeance!

Greenstripe · 15/07/2017 11:50

So I tested the theory gotta admit I'm feeling pretty good Blush worried about it coming back now though!
I think people will be drinking but I don't think i could stomach it.
Thanks for all the suggestions DH is out with strict instructions to come back with amount of fried carbs.
Fingers crossed this will see me through the afternoon!

Heinz Tomato Soup.

Ginlovinglady · 15/07/2017 11:52

A cold beer! Hair of the dog always works

clairewilliams999 · 15/07/2017 12:03

If it's really bad I have some Tramedol prescription only painkillers that give quite a floaty morphine like high and kill a headache dead. Otherwise coffe, salt and vinegar crisps that sort of thing

PervyMuskrat · 15/07/2017 12:13

Sweary Yes! Someone else who acknowledges the power of pickled onion monster munch Grin

ClopySow · 15/07/2017 12:16

Alka seltzer is your friend

clairewilliams999 · 15/07/2017 12:17

The problem with Pickled Onion Monster Munch is it can repeat on you for several hours. I prefer powerful pharmaceuticals. Also there are anti-nausia drugs you can take

JoandMax · 15/07/2017 12:21

Salt and vinegar crisps, cheese on toast and full fat coke with loads of ice.

And the sex does work - in our house it's very classily referred to as a bangover.........
