The cure for the mild hangover

Post by wonder_recorded »

Everyone has a hangover cure that supposedly, but not actually, works. Well personally I avoid hangovers as much as possible, which is to say that I have one every morning. What is the cure? Eat.

Eat eat eat eat eat. I have found that if I constantly much on something (bag of carrots, chips and salsa, jar of meat, etc.) that it keeps the hangover at bay. The headache receeds (how the fuck do you spell that!?), the nausea goes into the background, everything but the rote boring motion of gumflapping goes away. But the second I stop flapping those gums on some sort of caloric intake, it all comes back.

So if that's the cure (for me) for the "mild" hangover, what do you do about the non-mild hangover. The one where you threw up and didn't give a fuck about how much you were drinking? Where you were blackout drunk?

There is no cure. You do the chryme, you do the time.

I like to just sit it out. need plenty of water to drink though, as I dry out. When I'm on holiday gin takes the edge of nicely. beer is too weak and seems to pronounce it.

it's spelt recede, and it is an odd spelling. I would like to find out why, linguistics is fascinating, but I'm too lazy

Smoke some pot.
I also believe in the "two shit rule", a hangover does not persist longer than the time it takes you to shit twice. So yes, I suppose food works.
Also, vitamin B-complex, omega fish oils, more alcohol.

An intravenous 500ml Saline drip, 120mg Codeine, 50mg Cyclizine, 10mg Cetirizine and 5mg Diazepam always does the trick for me.

Water, paracetamol, a bit more sleep, then ready for some greasy food and an eye opener. Can't really beat a full English breakfast with vodka and orange, plenty of water and good coffee :-)

The water for hydration, paracetamol to take away the edge of pain, tasty food for fuel (don't worry if you throw up afterwards), coffee to wake you up and vodka mixed with orange to level your head and set you on the straight and narrow...

Chug water until you puke, then have your eye opener (one or two of whatever you had the night before) then eat. It works everytime!

I'd never really thought it about it but you're right: I always feel better after the second shit. At least physically, the mudbutt persists.

Sometimes I'll go on a light jog or work the bag, you know, sweat it out.

Cure?

Cure for a mild hangover?

Fuck that.

You wear it like badge of honor.

You put on the big boy pants you were trying to wear the night before and pull them up and wear them for the world to see. You look the world right in the eye and you don't blink. Don't let them know you're hurt in the slightest. Step out into the sunshine a loudly order another drink.

Loudly.

I wasn't aware that such a thing as a "mild" hangover existed.

For me it's either "morning" or "death"

As for Mr Viking, "recede" comes from the latin "cedere", meaning "to withdraw" or so. Leave, go, yield, etc all synonyms. The English word "cede" is, obviously, closely related and from the same roots.
