Eat a banana too. Replacing your potassium levels. So much to do before you take your drunken ass to bed. Pity you're too drunk to do them.
I rarely suffere from hangovers, but when I do, I find painkillers & telling everyone within earshot to 'f88k up & f88k off' helps tremendously.
as I was told by Mitto's Mother.
Panadol, Berrocca and a Mars Bar, your all set apparently.
Or just endure the agony and evilness. Here's a good tip... Instead of drinking loads of water the morning after, drink water the night before too, only water... yum, water.
You know it's funny, I was just doing a "lab practical" today about elution of alcohol from the human body.
By practical I mean, me and a few other people got drunk and wobbled around while we were tested every half an hour on a breathalizer.
Basically, here's how it goes :
The average person's maximal alcohol limit is 11ml for females and 18ml for males per stone of weight, this is on the average percentage vodka which is a good approximation for a single unit.
So, I weigh 8 stone which is 8 x 18ml = 144, rounded down to 125ml, or five standard units of vodka.
This is the maximum amount of alcohol which a person's kidneys can process at their maximum rate, anything over this maximum will still be eluted at the same rate, and anything below it will be processed at a slower rate.
In the time it takes for a person to consume an average unit, you'll be eluting half that through your kidneys, so assuming an hour for a unit half of that will be gone by the time you're finished drinking.
So in terms of balance, you drink a pint of average beer over two hours (which accounts for two units), and you'll be eluting a single unit of alcohol (two half pints worth), meaning you'll have one left in your system.
Consume two beers over two hours, you'll still only elute one unit and thus have three left in your system.
The problem of hangovers comes when you have excess alcohol in your system by the time your body "shuts down", so in order to avoid a problem you need to allow adequate time for your body to elute all the alcohol. For those two pints, you'd need four hours to fully clear the alcohol from your system.
Of course, adding water can speed up the process somewhat, and whether or not you've eaten before or after drinking can affect the absorbtion/elution process.
After all that, the point I'm making is that before you sleep you have to allow time for the alcohol to pass through your body, and then you'll never, ever suffer from a hangover.
Hangovers make me all the more glad that I don't drink and most likely never will. I'll never, ever understand the appeal of drinking horrid tasting and smelling body destroying crap only to make you wake up the next morning throwing up with a killer headache.
But whatever floats your boat.
I was going to say what Ironicles said, just stay awake until you are sober. The best way to avoid a hangover.
An other way to avoid hangovers is eat before you sleep (eating bread/toast or potatoes work best), and drinking plenty of water. :roll:
What used to help me was eating a carb and starch heavy dinner, and drinking water with my drinks. Then before I'd crash, I'd have a full glass of water and two Advil/Tylenol/Aleve whatever...
Do you actually know any of the other lines to that song? Please answer No.Quote:

I hear drinking a 32oz bottle of Gatoraid does the trick.
Ive heard of drinking water before bed before, I have never done it though, at the time, You just cant be bothered. I know what a Hangover is like, not pleasant, but not painful, just gives you an unpleasant head ache. Not that bad.
You've never had a bad hangover.Quote:

I guess it would be even worse if you had a bad hair day too.
