To ask how to get rid of gin headache/hangover

[User112]

I didn’t drink in the last 5 years. I met a friend today I had some gin. I’m back at my hotel now, and I have a pounding headache. I’m attending a work related conference tomorrow morning and can’t have a hangover or shit because I’m presenting.
I know, I shouldn’t have gotten drunk, but wtf. I only had 2 rounds. Just very little gin with tonic.

What can I do now - to not have this headache or hangover tomorrow
How much water should I drink? Shall I take ibuprofen?

Have you not heard of painkillers? They're an amazing invention.

FFS.

What do you have to hand? Ibuprofen, paracetamol, aspirin will all do the job. Plenty of water.

It's not even 9pm yet so you have around 12 hours before you need to be at work.

Drink some water, go to bed, it will be gone by morning

Water water water

Solpadeine max strength soluble ones in a pint of good tap water.
Then another pint of tap water and a nytol one a night (half a tablet if you’re not used to them) and you’ll be right as rain.
No more booze obvs 😊

Painkillers
Water, pint before bed. Keep some at side of the bed for through the night.
Shower before sleep also.
You'll probs sleep it off now as it's early.

Once your up, get straight up, painkillers even if you don't feel it straight away. Back in the shower, coffee, ready and out.

My experience, I need to be up and out 🤣

Paracetemol
Lots of water
Banana
A proper meal which includes carbs and as little salt as possible

Ooh yes more water by the bed and a good chunk of decent non salty food

I have ibuprofen. Is that good enough or does it have to be paracetemol? Take one now or tomorrow or both?
I’m drinking water, is 500ml enough before bed now? I drank 200 ml already.

Meal, I’m not hungry at all but I have a supermarket sandwich. Is that ok or should I order something with rice.
I’m panicking because I’m presenting first in the conference tomorrow. Didn’t realise just 2 rounds will knock me out like this

Rude

Regardless of what you drank, you have a headache because you are dehydrated (this is what alcohol does to you) do whatever you would normally do when you have a headache and are dehydrated.
There is no universal magic pill combo for a hangover.

Have something to eat and drink some water and you will be fine in the morning xx

You will be fine. Lessons learned.

Are you sure you're not just ill?
Lucozade sport and lots of water to rehydrate you. Salty food is fine because it will help you replace lost electrolytes.
Take some painkillers ie paracetamol.

I would take painkillers now and in the morning.
You sometimes wake up and think Christ knows fresh then hits you an hour later.

Sleep it off you’ll be grand. Take two painkillers in the morning if you still have a bad head. This is what they call “hang-xiety”

Take 2 ibuprofen now and chug 2 pints of water.

Order a salty carby meal in like fish and chips.

You'll be fine.

I’m sure you’ll be fine by the morning.

Painkiller (any will do), water, something salty and fatty to eat and plenty of sleep should sort you out. You'll be fine by the presentation

@Livvygator

Yes.

Well, one option is keep drinking. Stay drunk, no hangover

Serious answer though, you could try dioralyte, its for rehydration and re balances electrolytes, not just good for when kids get an off tummy/sick.

Honestly, you’ve had two drinks and have a bit of a headache. It’s nothing. I’m going to assume you’re getting yourself into a state because you’re nervous about tomorrow but it’s only 9pm, you’ll be fine. It’s not like you’ve gone on a massive bender. Have a glass of water and go to bed.

Years ago I'd happily knock back a few Pimm's.
Can't even take a few sips now.

There's a reason that gin was called 'mothers' ruin!'

You've had 2 gins. You'll be fine tomorrow.
Are you being serious?
