Homemade hangover remedy?

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.

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

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

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.

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:
