Homemade hangover remedy?

ZugTheMegasaurus

Drink Pickle Juice - The Russians are big vodka drinkers and this is a trick they use in the mother land. I didn't believe this until I tried it. Trust me, it works. People always think it sounds disgusting, drinking pickle juice but it does work. Pickle juice helps get rid of the hangover because the high salt intake helps keep you from pissing out the water you need to rehydrate yourself. There is also something in the vinegar that "we're told" helps counter-act the toxins. Whatever - it works.

I'd never heard of it for hangovers, but my boyfriend swears by pickles and/or pickle juice for an upset stomach. Seriously, he'll say that he's incredibly nauseated, I'll offer to go get some Pepto Bismol or something, and he'll say, "Nah, I think we have pickles." Last time, we were out of pickles but the jar of juice was still in the fridge and he just started chugging it.

Honestly, that's the last thing I'd want to do if I felt barfy, but whatever works, I guess...

Good strong cup of builder's tea with a couple of sugars.

Tall glass of water and a TOGO's turkey and avocado sammich would always make me feel better.

That was back when I drank a lot and still ate meat. I haven't experimented enough since turning into a vegetarian to give you a more recent solution.

Good luck!

Water...and if you drink it before you pass out, you won't have a hang over.

Coca cola and a packet of crisps (chips)

Pedialyte powder mixed in water. Drink it with two Advil before bed. If you feel extra yucky in the morning, drink another. The generic powder actually tasted better than the brand name stuff.

Not exactly homemade, but you do wake up feeling like you cheated death.

General Tso's chicken, crab rangoons and egg rolls! Wash it down with a big bottle of Gatorade! Works for my husband and me like a charm!!! Then we rent movies and relax the rest of the day!

Gatorade and lots of it before you go to bed. Then more in the morning. Water helps too.

I know a guy who drank pedialyte when he was really trashed and was fine the next morning. I couldn't do it, the stuff taste nasty.

my friend bought pedialyte specifically for that purpose! she had a mini fridge in her room by her bed and would try and remember to swallow some before bed and then pretty much constantly sipped on it once she woke up in the morning. i never tried it myself, but they say it works well. seems like gatorade would do the trick, and the greasiest meal in town :drinker:
