Need a hangover cure

Sleep and water are the only "cures". Aspirin will hellp the headache. Its best to prevent the hangover by staying hydrated before you drink, and having a large meal in the middle of your buzz. Heavy drinkers like me should take milk thistle supplements daily to protect the liver. Drinking a regulated amount each day has been shown to protect the heart, but occasional "binge" drinking has the opposite effect. Enjoy life or be a T-totaler, but party animals don't live long.

Never had a hangover but from my doctor friends: hydration and B vitamins. You can't completely prevent it, it is your body telling you something important.

Agreed. Alcohol depletes the liver of Vitamin B. It needs to be replaced. Liquid B Complex works the fasted next to injectable. Lots of water/electrolytes.

Thanks for the tips! I generally have a glass or 2 of wine & then call it a day (or night, as the case may be). I've got too much to do to waste a day recovering! I was having a good time socializing with friends, and wasn't keeping track. :/

Back when I was young and stupid and drank more than I should have, I always took a couple of motrin and a couple glasses of water before bed. It usually helped. It's been a while though.

Yes, drinking (water) before sleeping does help. My friends would always make me chug lots of water before bed. Those were the days when I'd stay out until 4:00 AM then be at work by 6:00 AM to milk cows. :th The thought of doing that now makes me want to cry! :lol:

I've used this hangover prevention patch called "Forget Hangover" Its an all naturally vitamin B-1 patch. I just put in on before I start drinking and the next morning I feel great. Its amazing, regardless if Im drinking, wine, beer or liquor. You should def try it out!!!

I told my friends about B vitamins before a New Years Eve party . We all took one before we went to bed that night. Only one person was seriously sick. He drank till he puked, then drank some more- so he earned it.

My favorite remedy is to drag myself to the kitchen and make fried potatoes, bacon, fried eggs, toast and a BIG glass of tomato/v-8 juice with pepper, salt,lemon,tobasco. I also take aspirin with it. After a while if I still feel bad, I drink one of whatever I drank the night before - hair-of-the-dog usually does the trick.
