Does anyone actually have a hair of the dog as a hangover fix?

How on earth? How does it not make everything dramatically worse?

I'm not sure I could sip alcoholic anything when I have a hangover without puking or passing out.

Are there people out there who do this in real life?

Just realised what you've asked.Getting back on the drink usually helps,but Alka Seltzer does work as a hangover cure.

@RallySooney i may know where you live 🤣🤣🤣

Honestly a Bloody Mary can fix many things. It might take some work getting the first few sips down but it’s magic to a hangover.

To avoid a hangover - try and drink as much water in between drinks and stop drinking before midnight. Even if you don’t manage that this will still really help. 1 pint of water with x2 dioralyte sachets and 1 berroca. Take with x2 paracetamol and jobs a goodun. You’ll wake up feeling fine or a lot better than you would have without it.

A lunchtime shandy followed by a decent meal and plenty of soft drinks does wonders.

It ‘works’ because you just start getting pissed again. It’s basically the alcoholic’s hangover cure, as I’ve witnessed countless times when working in pubs.

I’ve definitely done it occasionally but I wouldn’t recommend it as your standard cure, no way! You’re better off having water, some caffeine and some painkillers and something starchy to eat.

Depends on what your drink cure is…. There’s a reason Bloody Mary’s are popular. The tomato juice does have a lot of vitamins for little effort. I do think there is also something to the alcohol tempering the effects of a hangover long enough for a person to get ahead of it. (I wouldn’t wake up and start throwing back shots or anything.)

So yeah, I’ve used this with success, back in my misspent youth. Not so much anymore.

I went to Download festival this year. On the first night I went from slightly tipsy to stumbling falling over drunk in the blink of an eye. Woke up at 7 for a wee and thought god I’m going to feel so ill when I sober up. Woke up again later and had a brainwave! ….. I just won’t sober up, so got straight back on the Vodka.
