Homemade hangover remedy?

Everyone has their own versions. What works for me is drinking a tall glass of cold milk and eating a few slices of bacon.

Not "homemade" (but I have made my own... it just takes a long time) but an Auntie Anne's soft pretzel with cheese dip is my go-to hangover cure. Papa Johns pizza with garlic butter dipping sauce works too, and DiGiorno has a "dipping strips" frozen pizza that's almost as good.

I think the simple answer is lots of water and something bread/cracker like that's a little salty.

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.

Nothing helped me but a dark, cold, quiet room to sleep in for 24 hrs and a few dozens trips to "pray to the porcelain God" (toilet) :sick: I do also recall eating carbs the next day and drinking ice water. Ps.~ stay away from loud noises too!

I agree with the gatorade or powerade theory.................helps a LOT with the headache

And mexican food.................

Albondigas soup and fresh limonada . Works like a charm. But kind of gets you in the mood for tequila again. :drinker:

I'm fairly certain I have dipped my bacon in ketchup once or twice, so I would not be oppsed to eating a bacon and ketchup sandwich :laugh:

no no no no no you have it all wrong!!! french toast bacon sandwich liberally drenched in maple syrup!!! the bacon must be crispy and the syrup must be maple otherwise it wont help at all. no ketchup, ketchup is for the french fries you should eat for lunch!!


lol My hangover cure is a Gatorade and aspirin, I take two aspirin & drink half the bottle before I go to bed and refill the bottle to the top with water. when I inevitably wake up in the middle of the night to pee I drink as much as I can of the gatorade/water mix and take another two aspirin and down the rest of the gatorade/water in the morning before breakfast. 99% of the time this prevents the hangover, however it doesn't work if you wake up still drunk, if thats the case see above french toast bacon sandwich with maple syrup remedy.

Water. Hangovers are caused by dehydration.

ooohhhh no I can't do straight water when hungover! not sure why because I guzzle gallons of it at normal times but for a hangover it must be gatorade!

Gatorade works too, helps replenish lost electrolytes. Personally, I stay hydrated while drinking my alcohol, and I generally eat higher amounts of salt and potassium, so I've never been hung over.

If I drank a class of milk hungover I wouldn't keep the bacon down!

Well, that word we're not supposed to mention + sleep + water. A banana (potassium) will help too. Keep your fluids up since you just dehydrated your body with alcohol. If you have any preggo friends with morning sickness, begging a Zofran has not been unheard of

Isn't that what Menudo is for??? LOL

Panadol Paracetamol with caffeine. Seriously.

You will be bouncing off the walls in 10 minutes.

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.

There is no such thing. You're body is physically Ill from being punished with poison. Lots and lots of water, and good healthful food, like salad, fruits...that kind of thing. The greasy burger, fast food, junk food, salt and sugar and all that is actually the worst thing for you, at that point.

I've done tons of research because at one point in my life, I was searching aggressively for a cure I could market and sell. I owned hangover.com and was looking for something. I had MD's contributing, and in the end, it came down to:

When you drink, knock back 8oz of water with every one ounce of alcohol. (glass of wine, one beer, one shot)
Stay away from sugary sweet drinks.
Eat a good meal before you go out drinking.
In the morning, drink more water, and eat healthful food.
Take a teaspoon of honey (if you don't have or like honey, just use sugar).

There are two things going on with a hangover. One is dehydration. The other is massive sugar withdrawal. Sometimes a teaspoon of honey will do wonders because you're replacing the sugar you're body spent all night processing and it takes some pain away.

If you do these simple things, you will likely not have a hangover at all. But, no one ever keeps up with the water, and therefore they dehydrate massively and wake up hurting.

Hope this helps at least a little. Maybe for next time.

I used to drink very heavily every weekend, and one time I was out with my friends and we were pounding beer and whiskey shots all night, but I was determined to match up my drinks with water. When I woke up in the morning, I was fine. I was a little slow, but I wasn't hungover at all. It's mostly dehydration.

Also, I forget how long it takes for your body to process alcohol, but it's a long time. Half the time, you're still actually drunk. It's not really a hangover as much as its just that you're still drunk and the alcohol is still processing through. Your body NEEDS water.
