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

Oh get a life.

Ice lollies are heaven

Iwrotethelyricstoaxlf · 01/01/2023 14:03

Red bull, ginsters slice (someone told me on here last week that was so wrong 😂😂)

After a quiet new years I’m not actually hanging for once.

I am however going to pop to the m and s garage and get one of their macaroni cheese things as I’ve got a carb on.

A strong bloody mary always helps.

Shewolf359 · 01/01/2023 14:21

Sit in the shower and let it rain down on you

Butter , almond or peanut butter on toast topped with sliced with banana, drizzled with honey is very good to replenish your system.

Likewise bread dipped in egg, fried and similarly topped as above is very good to help ease your discomfort.

Urgh you have my sympathy OP. I over indulged on Thursday night. Was sick all night and most of Friday. I still feel fragile, im just too old for this shit

PatientlyWaiting21 · 01/01/2023 14:37

Flat full fat coke, bacon softie, two paracetamol, walk…maybe a hair of the dog?!

Pinkvici22 · 01/01/2023 14:37

I feel your pain OP…I feel awful! Haven’t been able to stomach any food and just struggling to keep liquids down

Delatron · 01/01/2023 14:39

I’ve just had a bacon and cheese baguette and a cup of tea. Worked a treat!

TwoBigNoisyBoys · 01/01/2023 14:40

A fried egg sandwich and fizzy orange, with paracetamol. However this has to be eaten/drunk/taken at the precise right time or it’s likely to make a reappearance pretty quickly in my experience. Sorry you’re feeling rough, hope you had a good time though 😊

troppibambini6 · 01/01/2023 14:41

Oooofffff op that's some mixing!! Hope you are starting to feel better?
I've had a massive bacon and egg sandwich and an hours nap and I'm feeling much more human now.

Delatron · 01/01/2023 14:42

And can I share my best hangover prevention tip? (Not in the snotty well don’t drink then way).

Take 2 ibuprofen before bed and have a hydration drink. I read that ibuprofen is the most effective thing for hangovers as it reduces inflammation in the body. The hydration drink sorts out electrolyte imbalance. When I remember this works for me.

Getpacking · 01/01/2023 14:43

My curers today so far have been paracetamol, fresh orange, fried sausages and tomatoes, can of Coke, box of maltesers (which I shared) and I’m going to have some salt and vinegar crisps soon

inthewest · 01/01/2023 14:43

Pho.

We had a pho shop down the road from us in uni. Salty broth and carbohydrates. My somewhat less hungover husband also agrees.

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.

I daren’t stand up either and all the suggestions are making me hungry but I just can’t get move 😞

This is so accurate - I've been known to mix up a sachet before I go out so it chills in the fridge for me when I get home Bear it does really help!

I've just had some mash potato, fat coke and a sit down shower. What I now want is some spicy and Vietnamese, and a walk.

Yutes · 01/01/2023 14:59

I was reading that dunking your face in a cold water bath is supposed to help?

winningeasy · 01/01/2023 15:00

Need Pho urgently @inthewest

DP remains in bed after a 5am finish! I've had toast, chocolate and biscuits, lots of tea and just had a dry up so all good downstairs but him upstairs may need hair of the dog 🤣🤣🤣

FairyLightAddict · 01/01/2023 15:12

Bloody Mary.

CovertImage · 01/01/2023 15:12

A friend once made me a hangover cure which was smoothie of banana, full fat milk, ice cream and 2 paracetomol. It was the one hangover cure I've ever had that worked quickly

LuciferRising · 01/01/2023 15:40

Strawberry spritz works well.

Blend frozen strawberries, fresh lemon juice, fresh mint, honey and water.

user1262085 · 01/01/2023 15:59

OP that is some regret list 😂I hope you had a great night

So far none of the following have worked for me: 2 aspirin, cheese on toast, frosties, irn bru (bastards reducing their sugar content), a walk. Need a square sausage roll but I don't have any. Might try a mug of bovril instead of pho and have a couple of paracetamol. Oh god why did I drink so much ...

Blowthemandown · 01/01/2023 16:17

@winningeasy fat coke and a kit kat later if the headache returns after what you’ve tried so far …
