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!

Full fat coke and salt and vinegar crisps, with painkillers, lie on the sofa, and Netflix

tumtitum · 15/07/2017 12:22

Book marking this as I'm just off out for an afternoon/evening/late night drinking bonanza so know I'll be feeling awful in the morning!

Greenstripe · 15/07/2017 12:35

joandmax bangover Grin
So far I've had the coke, salty crisps and DH has just made us ham baguettes.
I'm going to put enough make up on for a circus full of clowns and hope for the best!

I am really intrigued in the sex curing hangover. Is this just an excuse or does it actually work? I may have to get seriously drunk tonight 😂

clairewilliams999 · 15/07/2017 13:24

Remember if you are drunk you can not consent to sex so must not do it.

JoandMax · 15/07/2017 13:26

Skippy - it really does work honestly!! Especially so if you orgasm. When we're hungover the conversation goes "oh I feel awful, shall we have a bangover?" - 10 minutes later and the world is ok again!

Sports drink and paracetamol upon waking. Bacon and tomato sandwich when you can stomach it. In between lots of water and a bit of crystallised ginger. Brisk walk. Later in the afternoon cook a roast chicken.

Said on Saturday kitchen this morning that rosemary tea is an excellent cure, must put it to the test.

skippy85 · 15/07/2017 13:45

Joandmax...told my Dh im getting drunk tonight. He said ok why? Told him I want to work out if a certain hangover cure works. Told him what it was. He then listed all the alcohol we have. He may try to tirn me into a big drinker Grin

Sex with a hangover does work.

Preemptive strikes I swear by are

  • pint of water with diaoralyte in (sorry for ooor spelling fuck knows what it really is)
  • two an annadin extra
  • something salty and carry like a ready salted crisp sandwich!
  • cup of tea.

Or just have young children and babies. One hangover with these small creatures never forgotten.

Next day at a juncture when not considered too outrageous (not at work, your mother's, the supermarket) a hefty gin & tonic.

No wine. Ever.

I'm 23 weeks pregnant, and have forgotten what a hangover feels like. Am insanely jealous

@skippy85 ..... excellent work

Ginlinessisnexttogodliness · 15/07/2017 14:08

Jesus all those typos you'd think I was currently on the sauce

fannydaggerz · 15/07/2017 14:09

Irn bru and a fry up

Upyourdaisy · 15/07/2017 14:11

Fresh air works wonders, dioralyte is also the bees knees and if you can face it a huge cooked breakfast!

JoandMax · 15/07/2017 14:12

Ha ha enjoy your evening (and morning!!) Skippy!

Ecclesiastes · 15/07/2017 14:19

Champagne.

amousehaseatenmypaddlingpool · 15/07/2017 14:25

Strong coffee, two paracetamol, sausage sandwich and a galaxy caramel.

amousehaseatenmypaddlingpool · 15/07/2017 14:28

'bangover' Grin

theDudesmummy · 15/07/2017 18:34

Ibuprofen and two litres of water on waking, then later on Thai food.

agentdaisy · 15/07/2017 18:56

Two co-codamol and a lucozade sport before bed. Lucozade sport has the electrolytes like dyoralite but without the vomit inducing taste and texture.

Co-codamol and lucozade sport on waking, sex, ibuprofen then kfc.

Works every time.

The no hangover with vodka doesn't work with me, I usually drink vodka and have had some stonking hangovers from it. I couldn't say whether it's less likely to give a hangover than wine because I can't stand the stuff.

LidlAngel · 15/07/2017 19:36

Lucozade sipped daintily like an invalid. Grilled bacon sandwich with no butter. Two paracetamol. Job done.

Greenstripe · 15/07/2017 20:14

Thanks for all your suggestions, I survived!

I can confirm that sex does take the edge off...DH is very pleased that he 'cured me' with his penis.

Can you lend me your DH's penis in the morning? I'm going to be exceptionally unwell tomorrow. Sambuca you see.

NoLoveofMine · 16/07/2017 02:13

Sex probably is the best cure but as someone who's never had sex I can guarantee that drinking more is a great hangover cure.

NoLoveofMine · 16/07/2017 02:14

Sambuca FFS. I cannot drink that.

Redglitter · 16/07/2017 02:33

A bacon sandwich (or two) & plenty of Irn Bru
