Oh God, I swore I wouldn’t be drinking that much but I’ve got some health issues going on and one thing led to another, I felt half decent so I just went a bit silly. I red something that will leave me waking up as fresh as a daisy tomorrow, PLEASE!🙏🏻

Drinking water (better still Lemonade) during the night when you wake up with a raging thirst- I used to take a litre of Lemonade up to bed after a night out and have a gulp when I woke up in the night. Next day a quiche from Costcutter - family sized- bag of Ready salted crisps and 10 cups of tea and a crunchie sorted me right out. In an emergency if I was still rough at tea time a chinese takeaway and 17 cans of Carling or Fosters sorted me out- this is all from when I was 20! I'm mid 50s now and would just lie down in a puddle and die!

Hell the Chinese will fix it - the only time I will lash one in me

And a typical Irish Chinese , chips, rice, noodles, curry sauce and salt and chilli chicken,

Carbs, carbs, and salt and sugar - and a gallon of cold Diet Coke to kill the ensuing thirst :)

Hooray! to be honest the quiche (Cheese and onion) was the life saver- i used to scoff it while tottering to the bus stop for work! got on the bus with my quiche and crisps etc stuffed in my bag and the ate the rest on the hour long (2 miles journey) Massive roadworks at the the time- with hindsight should have put my trainers on walked it! It was the very early 90's and this was my routine. Once I got into town a Greggs breakfast hit the spot. I'm a proper grown up now those days are done. Me and flatmate were bloody awful- lived together and worked together and rang in sick at work alternately! I'm in my 50's now and much more responsible

Stand and stare naked at yourself in your full length mirror while your awful children try to kill you and you regret every choice in your life.
Then get the fuck up, get rid of them, somehow, anyhow and make yourself coffee and bacon and hide until tomorrow.

Good luck OP

Sounds mental but I used to eat a jar of beetroot when I came in from a night out. Something to do with the liver apparently as seemed to work.

These days, scrambled eggs OR a burger and chips does help but doesn't really 'cure' exactly.

sweeneytoddsrazor · 14/12/2025 10:19

Maccys breakfast, - coffee hash brown and a cheese and egg Mcmuffin with an extra hash brown for good measure

Beetroot is full of very powerful anti-oxidants. I eat a lot of it too, teamed with leafy greens it's a very healthy combination.

Sleep!

ladyofshertonabbas · 14/12/2025 13:58

I second electrolytes with water, before bed and next day. Sugary coke. Crisps or whatever you are craving that night/ next day.

DeLaLune2022 · 14/12/2025 14:07

Miso soup!

I discovered accidentally one time that watermelon is a brilliant hangover cure. I didn’t have any of my usual go-tos in the house and I was struggling to drink water and keep it down so I had a few chunks of watermelon and it really helped. I guess it’s the hydration aspect but also the vitamins in it that helped?

YorkshireGoldDrinker · 14/12/2025 14:22

Sobriety.

Or, do a Shane MacGowan and stay loaded.

BillieWiper · 14/12/2025 14:23

Coca cola
Chips with salt
Tea with sugar (coffee makes me heave when I'm hungover)
Cannabis
Orgasm
More sleep
Exercise outdoors

schoolfriend · 14/12/2025 14:28

Alka seltzer is good, but better for the next morning as it’s got caffeine in.

gannett · 14/12/2025 14:46

Sleep is the only actual cure.

Some hangovers require either greasy junk or fresh water, juice, cucumbers etc. It isn't one size fits all. Those won't shift it completely though.

Best way to actually deal with it is to either give yourself lots to do (power through, mind over matter, won't be pleasant but will distract you) or nothing, and I mean nothing - sofa, snacks, something mindless on a screen. Anything in between will make you feel worse.

suzyowl668 · 14/12/2025 16:19

Coconut water (electrolytes)

JustLetMeAtIt · 13/12/2025 23:59

Diet coke, Pickled onion flavoured Monster Munch and a Double Decker.

Oh sorry I just went back to 1990
Still swear by it though

Lol, mine was a can of lilt, pack of salt and vinegar crisps and a mars bar!

ohyesido · 14/12/2025 16:32

I had 3 cups of tea, two bags of salt and black pepper crisps and two shortbread cookies after a bottle of Disaranno and several glasses of rose last night. I feel surprisingly healthy today

Didshejustsaythatoutloud · 14/12/2025 16:34

Irn bru and a roll n square sausage with lashings of brown sauce. And loadsa water

butterdish93 · 14/12/2025 16:36

Those rehydration dissolvable things you put in water in the morning after.
but on the actual night make sure you eat some toast and have a pint of water and some codeine or whatever before you sleep

Lookingforthejoy · 14/12/2025 16:36

@sleepyjessie you haven’t been back. How bad was it?

Lookingforthejoy · 14/12/2025 16:36

@sleepyjessie you haven’t been back. How bad was it?

Not actually as bad as I expected! I had a slump in the middle of the day so grabbed a lucozade and (too many) crisps at the shop and now I’m feeling bigger!

typo; meant to be better but bigger is also accurate tbh

ImWearingPantaloons · 14/12/2025 16:45

Berroca and a bag of ready salted crisps.

Follow with Lucozade (original flavour) sipped slowly if the situation is critical.
