This is bad

Nothing used to help mine. Just sleeping and trying not to vomit.

AuntieMarys · 01/01/2023 12:02

Can't be as bad as my wine/ baileys/ black sambuca one last week. Veggie sausage rolls and pringles worked for me

Insaneinthemembraneee · 01/01/2023 12:03

Tomato juice
Banana milkshake
Coke
Crisps, toast, sandwiches something to soak the alcohol up 🥴

I go the opposite way to alot of advice here: no carbs. Boiled egg, greek yoghurt, salad. For some reason carbs make me way worse.

Exercise too, followed by sleep.

Alka seltzer has always worked for me, failing that lucozade and paracetamol, crisps, toast and fresh air…sometimes a nice hot cuppa but go gently as sometimes it goes bad!!

Anti sickness tablets and sleep

pandwa · 01/01/2023 12:23

I'd say Coca Cola and a couple of codeine tablets and back to bed (or lye on the sofa with Baby tv on)

ColourMeExhausted · 01/01/2023 12:32

Suffering here too...solidarity OP! About to have some pringles and full fat coke...in the grips of the absolute beer fear.

Teatime55 · 01/01/2023 12:56

Lie on the sofa, put cartoons on, throw snacks at child occasionally.
Do they still nap?

gogohmm · 01/01/2023 12:57

Greasy food or smoked salmon

Prevention. No-one forced it down your neck, and it is not as if it is the first time you have celebrated New Year.

I think your advice comes around 24 hours too late!

It might seem hard OP but force yourself out - take dc on a chilly walk (do not let them sleep) the fresh air will do you both good and similarly wear you both out so you can both come home and have a nap. The days I'm forced out I always feel better in the long run however awful it feels at first

LuciferRising · 01/01/2023 13:02

What did you drink OP?

Soluble Solphadeine Max, Cherry Coke, marmite on white toast. Nettle tea. Take out.

What the heck. I don't drink and I still wouldn't have said that. Fgs

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 01/01/2023 13:07

Fat coke and energy tablets if you have any. Some toast.

@mowly77 Diazepam for a hangover ? Who is prescribing your Diazepam?

Tintackedsea · 01/01/2023 13:14

I have just had a can of coke and a bacon sandwich. I'm considering seeing what standing up feels like. I'm pretty sure it's not going to go well. Our last guests left at 6 am. I'm not cut out for this these days.

If you happened to have some it would definitely help - not ideal with a 1 year old in tow though 😆

Dioralyte

anon1968 · 01/01/2023 13:40

@winningeasy not a cure for today, but for future prevention. Milk thistle tablets, one before you go out, one when you get in. I’ve took them for years and now don’t suffer. I can still tell i’ve had a drink but nothing that stops me getting on with the day x

Emmaaa1990 · 01/01/2023 13:42

A poo, a shower, fizzy drink & a burger 😂

winningeasy · 01/01/2023 13:53

Regret list

2 cans of beer
2 gin and tonic
Half of Guinness
Hot negroni
2 glasses of fizz
2 glasses of barolo
A pint of lager
Spicy margarita
Gin and tonic

Bed at 3am

@anon1968 good shout, yes I have some of that and will take some now x

@liveforsummer haha Valium would be lush but feel like I need to stay slightly on the ball

@Teatime55 yes thankfully naps between 12-2 so we've just ordered a McDonald's - needed

OP posts:
winningeasy · 01/01/2023 13:58

Also did a poo, that helped
