Peanut butter and banana on toast.

PhilomenaChristmasPie · 14/12/2019 12:35

Bloody Mary and McDonald's breakfast.

pheonixrebirth · 14/12/2019 12:36

Salt and vinegar crisps and lots of juice! Robinsons peach barley to be specific! It's like nectar from the gods!!
After that eat your way through it-it's the only way. Blankets on the couch and box sets of whatever takes your fancy!

MissBehaving1000 · 14/12/2019 12:48

Full sugar Dr Pepper and Dominos for lunch.

Indian takeaway for dinner.

OverByYer · 14/12/2019 12:50

Berrocca and a good Pooh ( or a beer shit as my friend calls it)
Sorry if TMI but better out than in

OverByYer · 14/12/2019 12:51

And then a Big Mac Meal with full fat coke

DonPablo · 14/12/2019 13:09

Re hydrate. Add sugar and carbs and fat into the mix. A snooze. Repeat if required! If by 6 pm you're not better, hare of the dog will cure it. Or alka seltzer. We call that kill or cure!

So far I tried to eat a plain cracker and managed half of it before I threw up...😳 Didn't even think I was that drunk last night 🤦

Had a shower which has helped keep vomiting at bay and am now in bed feeling sorry for myself 😭😂

Definitely going to try and eat something salty, I know I have ready salted crisps in the cupboard and then if that helps me feel better I'll be off to the shop for the biggest bottle of coke or irn bru @Tucobenedicto agree that irn bru is an amazing hangover cure, it's what I used to drink in my teens after a night out and I actually forgot how good a cure it was til you just mentioned it! I'm in the north east and thankfully it's common here (so much so a few nightclubs even offer it has a mixer haha!)

Thanks guys!

Lucky the party was pretty fun and totally worth it hahaha

Jurassiclover · 14/12/2019 15:06

MrsBungle · 14/12/2019 15:07

McDonald’s and full sugar irn bru then go back to bed!

IcedPurple · 14/12/2019 15:07

It always makes me laugh when people recommend an Indian takeaway or other big meals as a hangover cure. When I've got a bad hangover I can barely stand to eat a slice of bread, let alone a spicy takeway! If you're contemplating a full spicy dinner, you're not really that badly hungover in my book!

Anyway, Dioralyte is your friend. One sachet before bed and another in the morning. It really, really works. And you can get cheap - but equally effective - versions in the baby section of the pound shop.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 14/12/2019 15:07

Following as I'm at my works do later.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 14/12/2019 15:08

Ready salted crisp sandwich helps

JurassicShay · 14/12/2019 15:11

@jurassiclover it's the only thing Iv ever been able to stomach with a hangover & I'm a morning puker too. Then you need to keep eating all day, don't let hunger creep in as it just brings more nausea.

recrudescence · 14/12/2019 15:13

Bolivian marching powder. Ask your ‘chemist’. Never fails.

Crazypanda85 · 14/12/2019 15:17

Sleep!! And if you can't have that two rehydration sachets in one pint of water, lots more water and bacon baguette.
Then a shandy later on (just one though, it's a slippery slope!)

BigSandyBalls2015 · 14/12/2019 15:21

Me too, work do last night. I’ve managed a fry up for lunch ... now binge watching the crown and don’t plan to move from sofa ... thankfully kids are teens so don’t need me Grin

BigSandyBalls2015 · 14/12/2019 15:22

They’re quite amused that I had my first jäger bomb last night at 52 GrinShock

Schwibble · 14/12/2019 15:24

A long shower, full sugar coke, fried egg sandwiches, ready salted crisps, lots of water....and sleep!

thenightsky · 14/12/2019 15:26

Endless cups of tea.
Toast with marmite (it replaces the Vit B you lose through drinking alcohol).

Repeat the above as many times as you can bear. Go back to bed in between rounds of toast and sleep some more.

MitziK · 14/12/2019 15:26

Bacon roll (ketchup and butter) and a bottle of original Lucozade.

Salt, fat, protein, vitamin C, vitamin D, carbohydrate and fluids. Everything you need. Top up with a black coffee and some paracetamol and you should be feeling slightly more human.

NameChangeNugget · 14/12/2019 15:47

Fatty coke

ultrablue · 14/12/2019 17:13

Well I never knew Irn Brew was good for hangovers, haven't drank that for years lol must get some in for over Christmas.

So do you think if I mix it with vodka I won't get a hangover haha

I have tons of orange juice for a hangover and just small amounts of food, I can't eat the following morning x
