Anti-hangover:

-Megamen multi-vitamin pills from GNC before you go out
-Milkshakes before you go out

Cures:
-Bloody Mary Recipe Here
-Beer or more beer
-Mexican Food (I prefer Baja Fresh Burrito Bowl)
-Gatorate or Powerade
-No sleeping until the next afternoon (works great on vacations)


Anymore suggestions?

The late Kingsley Amis advised vigorous sexual intercourse..otherwise Fernet Branca

Right before you go to sleep, drink two cups of water. This increases the chance you will have to get up to urinate but that's okay.

The next day your digestive system is bothered. I say stick to basic grains, nuts, fruits, and lots of water until your piss is just about clear.

when I remember to do it, I'll drink one of those Vitamin B juice "shakes" you can buy at the grocery store before I go out. That usually helps. Other than that, water before I go to bed.

Gatorade
Advil
Greasey food
A nap

All with some water interspersed and pretty soon you are ready to do it all over again the next night.

I hear the greasy food idea often but i'm not convinced it makes things better

In college, a psychology of alcoholism professor (shut up, I needed the lower division credits) told us to drink milk before going out drinking. It coats the stomach and slows the absorption rate.

i used to know this guy that would eat an entire plate of peppers and legumes before going out, which he used to swear by. but i think that's malarky.

a mcdonalds cheeseburger and chocolate milkshake and an aleve has never failed.

never.

Drink water after every alcoholic beverage. I'll drink a beer, then drink a water, beer, water, a few shots, water, and so on. You can still get a nice buzz, you're flushing like crazy, and you're not taking in as much alcohol overall.

Ive tried them all and without a doubt b-complex vitamins before you go out (Ill take two with my first beverage) has helped immensely. Drinking water inbetween drinks and drinking quality liquor also huge helpers.

Apparently heavy drinking severely depletes b vitamins.

I'm a professional at this. First:

1. ALWAYS eat before going out. Not too heavy or light.

2. NEVER mix "grape and grain". If you start with beer, stick with it, and preferably the same brand throughout the night.

3. Watch the mixers. Both alcohol and caffeine are diuretics. Double whammy. Add a sugary mixer and it's over. Trust me. Jager bombs/Vodka and Redbull's are killers. Keep it on the rocks, or add simple mixers like tonic or soda H20.

4. H2O. Drink a cup between every few drinks.

5. Eat before bed. This helps me immensely. Plus it keeps me up a bit longer to drink more H20.

6. Coconut H20. This is probably the most amazing thing you can take (before/after) to prevent and cure hangovers. If you're not in a tropical country, check for it in a can. GNC sells it.

7. Fat. Wake up once next to a big fat girl, and you'll stop drinking so much.

Things work for different people, so experiment, but I can say that everything that is marketed for remedies never worked for me.

If you are hungover you are depleted of minerals. Gatorade and powerade exascerbate the problem. They are loaded with sugar(HFCS). Ali's suggestion of coconut water is bang on. It has real natural sugar, but is also loaded with potassium, which has been shown to be the most depleted of all minerals after drinking. Another great tip before going to bed and when you get up is to drink a glass of watered with a shit load of natural sea salt. It has all the minerals in it the body needs. You can tell if it is the right stuff if it is moist and kind of a grey color. If it is dry and white it isn't the right kind and will cause you to become more dehydrated. But the real shit will hydrate you right up.

This things work like a charm.

I wrote a post on it: The Best Hangover Cure For International Playboys http://www.thegmanifesto.com/2012/07/the...yboys.html

I drank 1.5l of beer and a bit of champagne yesterday and I feel like shit... funny thing is that I generally kill half a bottle of gin/vodka plus a few beers and feel almost the same...

Water before sleeping, and some natural juice in the morning helps(me).

I have noticed when I am sedentary and drink a lot, that my hangovers/drunkness lasts longer.

When I am active- dancing, moving around, walking a lot, I rarely have hangovers.

Alpha-lipoic acid+ multivitamins reduces my hangovers to almost nil....

Incidentally, Danger and Play wrote a blogpost about it long after I started doing it (albeit I did it for gym/cutting reasons from Tim Ferris's recommendation and additional research)... http://dangerandplay.com/hangover-cure/

@G-manifesto +1 to the multivitamins. I bought them because of your reccomendation. Better than the costco brand imo.

I can't stomach Coconut Water shit tastes like ass juice to me. First time I drank the stuff on advice it would cure my hangover I barfed my guts out. I tried to drink again a few months later and I barfed again.

For me B-Vitamins work like a charm. Also Water in between drinks. I usually drink a shit ton early and just drink water to maintain that heavy buzz.

I guess the idea with greasy food is that it absorbs a ton of a alcohol since its so slow digesting.

if you dont want to feel the pain of a hangover simply have a drink in the morning. at least thats what i do. also pot works wonders for curing hangovers

By far the best cure is a bowl or joint.

Plus an aspirin, as they say.

Avoid brown liquor, drink h2o before bed, have gatorade/OJ ready in morning. Personally, I take a B12 in the morning also.

Acetaminophen is worst thing you can take while drinking alcohol, unless you want to blow holes in your liver.

You can get coconut water at Wally World. It's usually near the energy and sports drinks from what I have found.

The brand is Vita Coco IIRC and they have it available flavored if you don't like the natural taste.

Stuff works great for me if I drink one before going out and another once returning home.

Yeah, those things work amazing don't they?

Took one last night.

I even give them to girls so they won't be hungover for morning sessions.

Acetaminophen would hurt your liver and kidneys if you are taking more then 2000 to 3000 mg. I would even suggest taking a Preemptive dose of 1000 mg of Aceaminophen on nights you plan on drinking a lot. Will dramatically decrease the headaches in the morning.

I keep hearing great things about Coconut Water.

Coconut water for sure, REAL Coconut water

I was hung over on new years day an jumped in the ocean in NC... It was the coldest shit ever, but after
I got out an dried off I felt no hang over just pure raw energy, so that makes me think taking a ice cold shower or bath would kick it in the ass
