Hangover help Please?

Question

I turned 21 in May and I really have not drinken that much. I had 2 drinks on my birthday (they weren't strong drinks)....and since then I've only had about 3 more drinks....usually just a red-wine sangria (or plane red wine) if we go out to dinner.

Well last night I drank a little too much, and I'm not feeling so hot this morning.

My whole body just feels like c**p. I dont feel like I'm going to throw up or anything, and I dont really have a headach....but I just feel really crummy!!!

What should I do to speed up the hangover process and get it over with?

Answer 1

Ice pack, coffee, and Ibuprofen

Answer 2

Listen carefully, Drink a whole bunch of water. Try to eat some carbs like pasta or a baked potato.  When you decided to drink last night, you probably didnt factor in dehydration.  Your dehydrated and you need to replace the fluids in your cute little body.  Drink water, gatorade, juice.  Just about anything without caffeine.  Soft drinks are not good for this recovery process either.  Trust you ol uncle jay here. Drink water, eat carbs and learn about why drinking does not have a huge payoff the next day.  Kia 1812 has the best answer on here. I need to party with her.

Answer 3

water

Answer 4

okay, this is going to sound terrible, but drink a tall glass of chocolate milk. not white milk with chocolate powder.... drink the real thing.

You said you're not feeling nauseous, but if you were, this would instantly make you feel better as well. Other then that, take a Tylenol and let time do it's work. Good luck!

Answer 5

I second the ice pack, coffee, and ibuprofen. It's just going to be a long day for you. All you can do is ease the symptoms and get through the day!

Answer 6

drink lime water .

Answer 7

Avoid water, instead drink Pepsi or Colla. Don't do it again (joking)

Answer 8

smoke some weed...and eat oranges.. i did this yesterday. felt amazing afterwards. no hangover.

just smiles and laughter. weed makes everything better :)

Answer 9

Take three Tylenol's and lay down for a couple of hours. Wake up then eat. You should feel better. A piece of advice, and believe me when I tell you that I know about drinking, always take two to three aspirins before you start drinking.

Answer 10

Don't drink....

there also is this pill you take before you drink and you wont even have a hangover.

or you could exercise in the morning.

Answer 11

its ur fault for being irresponsible! I'm 13 and smarter than u! its common sense! and plus wine is only %13 alcohol! vodka packs more of a punch!! hahaha=D

Answer 12

Jess,

CURE A HANGOVER

Pounding headache? Nausea? Dry mouth? Dizziness? Weakness? Trembling? Feeling like you got hit by a train last night? There are all symptoms of a nasty hangover.

Some people are bothered by hangovers a lot more than others. Unfortunately, I'm one of those unlucky people who get the really bad ones, which has prompted me to do a lot of research on how to prevent hangovers the night before and the best way to cure hangovers the next morning.

WHY WE GET HANGOVERS

One big reason why you feel like **** is because you're severely dehydrated. Alcohol has a diuretic effect, which is why you have to p**s so much when you drink alcohol, and you lose more fluids than you gain throughout the night. Another cause of hangovers is from congeners, the byproducts from fermentation. Some people are capable of breaking down these byproducts better than others and that's one of the reasons why people like me get worse hangovers than others. As you could've guessed it, dark liquors and red wine have the greatest amount of these toxins, and that's why they give you the worst hangovers. There's many other causes of hangovers, but rather than get too scientific, I'm going to talk about the best ways to cure a hangover.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE THE NIGHT BEGINS

I'm sure you've heard this one before ... Eat a full meal! By eating a full meal, you will slow down the absorption of the alcohol. I always try to eat something with a lot of carbs - like bread or pasta. Fatty foods are also a good idea because the fat will stick to your stomach lining. Also, take a multivitamin with your meal and make sure you drink plenty of water because you'll be dehydrating yourself soon enough.

WHAT TO DO THE NIGHT OF DRINKING

There's a lot more that you can do the night of drinking to prevent a hangover rather than wait until the next morning. The single best thing that you can do is to drink as much water as possible! Whenever the night is winding down, I stop drinking alcohol and start drinking as many cups of water as physically possible. If you're at the bar, bartenders will be happy to give you free ice water. This method works like a charm. I can get completely **** faced, come home and drink as much water as I can while I do the normal drunk things I do like IM random people and raid the fridge, and I'll wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed. I also usually try to eat something. If for no other reason, it's going to be a lot easier to eat something the night before than the morning after when you've lost your appetite. Besides, drunk cooking is fun! Also, let time pass before passing out for the night. I don't see the point in drinking alcohol right up until the point that you go to bed. You're just drinking to make yourself more hungover. Why do you want to be drunk while you're asleep? Instead, let your buzz run it's course, it'll last for hours. Lastly, walk home if possible. It seems like any night when I've had to walk home after a long night of buzzing, I'm a lot less hungover.

HOME REMEDIES - WHAT TO DO THE MORNING AFTER

There's countless remedies for curing a hangover but here are some of the best ones that I've heard.

DRINK ALCOHOL

This does work if you can actually stomach drinking more alcohol the next morning. However, you're only delaying the inevitable. When you finally stop drinking, not only will your hangover catch up to you, but you'll also feel like a complete alcoholic. (for good reason, drunky!)

DRINK WATER, JUICE, MILK, ETC.

Although it will help you more if you drink water the night before, you still want to keep drinking as many fluids as you can the next morning. One of my friends swears that drinking chocolate milk works for her. I prefer orange juice. Just avoid drinking any caffeinated beverages, which will dehydrate you.

REPLENISH YOUR ELECTROLYTES

You lost a lot of electrolytes the night before from all the pissing and especially if you threw up. Sports drinks like Gatorade are your best friend. Or, if this hangover is really extreme, you could buy a bottle of PediaLyte. That's what you give babies if they've been throwing up or have had diarrhea. I've heard this works so I tried it once but I thought the stuff tasted disgusting.

EAT BREAKFAST

You should never skip breakfast, especially when you're hungover. The classic eggs and toast is your best bet. Get something in your stomach quick, before you feel too sick to eat, and then you're really screwed. It's been said that eating bananas is a good idea too b/c of the potassium in them. Sounds good to me. I love bananas.

TAKE YOUR PAIN KILLER OF CHOICE

I think this one's kind of a no brainer but just to cover everything, you should absolutely pop a few tylenols, aspirins, ibprofens, whatever to get rid of that pounding headache! Take them the night before for that matter!

A simple google search will net better results.

Enjoy!

Answer 13

greasy food, coke, aspirin, and a bath or a shower.

if you only drank one type of booze than having a little bit of that helps too. "the hair of the dog that bit you" but if you mixed different types of alcohol don't try that. also if you smoke do NOT have a cigarette it just makes it worse

Answer 14

take a cold shower

Answer 15

Lots of water & coffee. Panadol maybe?

get better :p

Answer 16

drink water and just chill out on the couch...don't worry the more often that you get drunk the less you will be hung over...I've never been hungover...if at the end of the night you feel that you've had too much just make yourself throw up...theres nothing wrong with it..

Answer 17

Odly enough, as much as I've drank I've never had a hangover, I usually just end up still being drunk the next morning, BUT, for me, the best way to deal with a hangover is 1: Don't drink enough to get one OR 2: Don't stop drinking. If you're drunk and stay awake through the day then you won't have to deal with the hangover. That's my experience anyways.

Answer 18

Drink lots and lots of fluids.  Not soda.  Drink water, juice, Gatorade, etc.  Also take something like Tylenol, Advil or Aleeve.  Just take it like it says on the bottle.  

Next time you drink.  Try to drink water before you go to bed if you can and take some Tylenol.  It will help the next day.  lol  

Oh and how can I forget the alcoholic's cure for a hangover.  DRINK A BEER!  =P

Answer 19

Next time, drink water between drinks, take an otc painkiller.  Alcohol dehydrates and can cause headache.  Now, drink water and take 2 aspirin.

Answer 20

Weed. And if you're gonna give me thumbs down, consider the fact that studies have shown mariujana to be just as if not less bad for you as alcohol.

Answer 21

drink clear drinks, like vodka,

eat a good meal before you go out

eat a banana just before you leave the house

if you can drink a few pints off water while out

when you come home drink as much water as you can,

have more water when you wake

that should do the trick

hope it works it does for me
