Snidey ‘hangover cures’

[DrierThanANunsNasty]

I know MN is funny about drinking so expecting a flaming for this one but whatever.
Saw a post in a group I’m in on Facebook wishing everyone a happy new year and asking for hangover cures for all those who were feeling a bit fragile. Over 3/4 of the replies were people saying “don’t drink” and saying how they haven’t drunk in however long.
AIBU to think this isn’t what the post was asking and actually it’s just a bit snidey? Like I don’t care if you haven’t drunk in 22 years Janet, I feel like my whole world is gonna fall out my bum because I celebrated New Years with a bottle (or two) of wine and that’s what I wanted to do.

Apparently if you drink a Dyorlalite (sp?) before you retire it’s amazing - thing is I am usually too wankered.

Seconding fishfinger and waffle sandwich, add cheese if you have the energy. Perfect!

I’ve had a bacon roll with some flat lemonade, after a walk in the cold. Feel human.

I haven't had a monster hangover for years but my cure was lucozade or full fat coke, sleep and a bacon sarnie!

Back in the 1960's there was a slogan competition for Andrews (liver) Salts.
The winning entry was
if the bottom is falling out of your world,drink Andrews and let the world fall out of your bottom
A school friend reckoned that her sister won and received a years supply of Andrews .
It may have been an urban myth but it made us teenagers chuckle.

there are no hangover cures except time for your liver to deal with the booze. Same as there are no ways to induce childbirth except medical induction.

doesn't stop lackbrains coming up with all sorts of daft ideas, as most people can't cope with correlation and causation.

it is a fact that if you don't want a hangover, don't swill to excess. That fact is unaffected by how much or little other people drink. Possibly some on the group are a bit fed up with the vomiting skanks that ruin the fun for those who can drink responsibly.

science - true however much anyone blubbers.

Embrace the hangover, be kind to yourself and it will pass! And yep so many snidey buggers on MN - see above 🙈

Porridge with golden syrup in. Magic, honestly.

I don't drink but I'm not snide. I helpfully give hangover cures. I should know I had enough of them. I found a cold dip in the sea the best cure. I discovered this when I used to camp frequently.
Sadly in middle age nothing cured my hangovers which is why I threw in the towel. A hangover shag is always nice though
Your best bet is to have an early night.

is that fishfingers inside two potato waffles? Or are you saying fishfingers and a potato waffle inside bread?

The second one. I know, it sounds disgusting, but it sorts me right out every time.

Diarlite rehydration sachet before bed

@mencken Guessing your didn’t read the OP then 🙄

Also didn’t realise you had to be a “vomiting skank” to get a hangover but I’m sure the rest of us on here will be pleased to note it.

I swear by Thai food, specifically Tom yum soup, and a coke.

Just been for a 5k walk and I might die.

Dominos pizza

Mencken is wrong. Full sugar coke, fresh air and a Greggs sausage roll.
I hate to be that person but a run does often sort me right out

Dear dear I would never drink so much I had a hangover. God forbid.

Or full fat coke, salt and vinegar crisps and a cool shower.

Hair of the dog is by far my best hangover cure! That and carbs!

When I'm really hungover & feeling nauseous the only thing that brings me round (other than spewing) is salt & vinegar crisps & a can of Diet Coke or a lucozade sport.
Might try diorralyte before bed for 2020-can't tolerate it hungover.

And the 2020 award for spectacularly missing the point of the OP's post is ... Mencken!! Congrats!

Yup with you OP, if someone asks for cures then the pious posts of "oh I never touch the stuff and I'm as fresh as a daisy and spent the morning decluttering my whole house and taking the children on an invigorating nature walk" just need to go fuck themselves with an (organic, artisan, sourdough) baguette.

(Mine are: water before bed if at all possible then next day carbs, coffee, more carbs, more water, nap and curry for tea)

Full English and full fat coke.

Feel for you op.

I'm suffering myself today.

Having a lie in bed and I've had two brufen, chicken nuggets and a full fat coke. Still feel horrific.

Will have to see if a Chinese later makes me feel any better.

Oh and I banged my head before on play mobile bakery. That's not helping either as I have a bruise on my forehead now.

Barrocca in a pint of water, followed by a mug of Lemsip (easier than trying to swallow paracetamol tablets if you are feeling queasy). Then chips. And sleep.

I'm now waiting for the indian to open so I can order my recovery curry. Fucking dying today. At 36 I'm still as much of an idiot as I was at 18.

Bless DP, he's looked after me all day with fizzy drinks and turning up the volume on the tv to drown out the sound of me puking my guts up. I'm such a twat.
