nurofen and water

JenumGeranium · 18/01/2006 11:09

Big glass of coke and a big greasy burger usually work for me! oh and sleep - not great if you have an active toddler though!

A big cooked breakfast with orange juice and coffee.

Gallons of Earl Grey,a hottie for your feet and then OJ and paracetomol.

Hangovers just get worse as you get older don't they???
It's almose been enough to put me off getting pissed every now and then.
What I hate most is the sense of impending doom and the paranoia...

For the future - best "cure" I've found is to have an alka seltzer before you go to bed (if you can remember). For now - weak tea, fresh air and as much carbohydrate as you can find. Good luck - it's crap isn't it (New Year's Day is still too recent in my mind!)

coke , tea and greasy food or as it says on the paracetamol bottle take 2 every four hours and keep away from children

jaybird · 18/01/2006 11:37

I think it should work the same - is it something to do with the caffeine?

nailpolish · 18/01/2006 11:42

bacon roll and a gallon of irn bru

JenumGeranium · 18/01/2006 11:43

God I could just murder a bacon roll!

nailpolish · 18/01/2006 11:44

actually, come to think of it, a hair of the dog has always been my best bet

nailpolish · 18/01/2006 11:45

god i sound like a saddo alchoholic now

jaybird · 18/01/2006 12:30

have just eaten a huge bowl of cheesy smash with beans, a packet of cheese and onion crisps and a toffee crisp! - how disgusting am i?! - that's probably an entire days of weightwatchers points in one go! - feel a bit better though - a nap would be nice too!!

JenumGeranium · 18/01/2006 12:35

As long as it makes you feel better then it has to be ok!

I may pretend I have a hangover so I can eat some bad stuff!

Go to bed with ds.
If you close the curtains and lie very still,it might work.
