The Hangover Cure

[Back Country]

Zigy brought something up about drinking in another thread and i figured it deserved its own.

The cure to any hangover, simple, water.

**** those pills, **** the syrums **** the advertisements and no doubt **** coffee (which has absolutely no effect). When it comes to fealing good the day after you drink, 'water makes it possible'

For whatever reason a **** ton of people choose not to use it, either because they dont know, they dont understand the reasoning or they get too lazy when they are drunk. Let me tell you, its worth it.

Why you feel hungover -
1- your body is dehydrated (water will take care of this)
2- your body has excreted electrolytes (gatorade will take care of this)

Timing and amount are the most important aspects.

Timing: When you are done drinking, it does not have to be right away, but it has to be before you pass out.

Now some may be tempted to come in here and talk about how they dont get hangovers when they drink, my simple reply to this before it happens is that they are not drinking. If you drink, its worth it.

Amount: A shit ton. You drank a shit ton of beer, liqour or whatever <if the previous whatever for you was bitch drinks and you are not a chick, stop reading this imediatley and disregard everything you have read up to this point because you deserve to feel like shit the next day if you drink like a bitch, k, thanks> so its going to take a shit ton of water to counter act your binging experience (call it simple logic, works every time. This also works for people who get hungover easily, and you may not need to drink as much water as is stated below)

step 1- Make sure you buy gatorade(s) to have on hand before you start

2- Get wasted

3- Realize your done geting wasted
(if sex falls inbetween steps 1-5 your all good, just be sure as hell you do not allow the warning in step 4 to occur, and remember, safe sex is the best sex )

4- DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO GO TO SLEEP

5- Pound the gatorade (this part may suck, you may be insanely full from all the beer and food you ate because you were drinking <food helps too, so well done if this was you> but trust me, its worth it)

6- fill the bottle up with water, and pound it
7- repeat step 6
8- repeat step 6
9- possibly repeat step 6 again, usualy 4 total bottles work for me, but some people i have taught this to require 5, you may require either more or less.

(that may seem like a lot of 'repeat step 6's' and therefore a lot of water, but im not talking about just drinking a 6 pack and calling it a night. If you want to be safe you will do it, this much may not be required to rehydrate your body depending on your tolerance and how much you drank. Your welcome to experiment and find out what works for you, but better safe then sorry. Also you are welcome to replace one of the waters with another gatorade, for many this may be a great idea as it supplys them with more electrolytes)

10- make it a habit. The time you are in the most danger of not doing it is when you are blacked out or when you get distracted by a member of the opposite sex (not you ftw, we know, its ok, as i previously stated, i dont judge) or both. I have goten to the point where i will do it even when im blacked out. I have even been told stories about myself <of which i had no recolection> walking around yelling at people trying to figure out who took my gatorade, and sometimes fighting them for it. Some would say this is the act of a belligerent drunk, well its not people, its called dedication. Good for me )

Step 10 leads me to another point, if someone steals your gatorade just drinking water will likely do the trick. If you have nothing to drink it out of just put your head under the faucet, or shower, or spiket and pound it like you love it. The next day, you will be happy you did.

If you did not abide by the warning in step 4 you are not necisarily ****ed the next day. If you wake up and your starting to feel hungover or you already are its too late for water/gatorade. However, there is an out. Drink more beer. Again, this may seems like it sucks at the time and you may be telling yourself how you 'never want to even see another beer again', well stop lying to yourself and man up. By drinking more beer you will make yourself drunk again (not drunk drunk, but your body will feel the effects) and the feeling of the hangover will go away. On the occasions i used to have to do this I would need 2, for you it may be more may be less. If you happen to boot (aka ) it doesnt count, so stop feeling sorry for yourself and start again. Once the feeling of the hangover is gone refer to step 4 above (since your choice to ignore it got you into the mess it would be wise to heed the advice this time around, dont ya think? ) Again, if you dont have gatorade just use water. Your body has fresh alcohol in its system so the water/gatorade will take effect before the alcohol wares off. I would recomend going back to sleep so your body can concentrate on repairs, but if you dont have time to it will still work)

Since there is an 'im drunk thread' in this forum i figured there are some people out there who could put this information to good use. I am not against partying, mater of fact, i fully support it . However, know how much is too much and NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE. If you have goten away with it before you will end up ****ed eventualy, I have seen it too many times. By ****ed i dont just mean arrested, i mean dead or in a state where you are left wishing you were dead.

Hope it helps.
Get Shitty.

Aint nothing but the truth!

I usually pass out for about 2 hours (after eating) and once my buzz wears off I go right to the water; usually with a headache but bearable for the few minutes it takes to grab. Then I go back to sleep and wake up fine.

I have heard salt helps because it helps your body retain water not sure if there is any truth to this? I believe some of those hangover pills are mostly salt and maybe some caffeine.

i pee in corners. I have a friend who likes to spoon with his wife when he is wasted and always pissses on her. pretty funny stuff.

Salt, well the sodium of salt, does cause you to retain water but it is used to restore the bodies level of sodium to normal. I guess I could see how it could help, but you would just piss it out as soon as your sodium levels went down so I dont see it working if your drink a lot.

As for caffeine that just makes you more drunk.

Thing is if your hammered as soon as that drink wares off your hungover again, thats where water comes in.

[Hoosiercatdaddy]

White Castles are made with Gatorade and water, therefor a 10 sack of these and you'll be fine

[The Judge]

Sobe Elixir Orange-Carrot is the best hangover cure known to man. One 20 oz. bottle provides you with 250% DV of Vitamin A & C as well as 60% DV of Vitamin E and 80% DV of Chromium.

Good stuff.

You ever herd the saying there is too much of a good thing bro?

250% dv of vitamin A would be potentialy toxic, your talking about fu*king up your bone density/structure, liver failure (your liver is already geting screwed from the alcohol, doubling up likely isnt a wise choice) overstimulated cell division and a lot of bad sh*t. People die from consistently ingesting those amounts. Not to mention if you happend to have eaten eggs, milk, cheese or any other products that contain vitamin A you put yourself way into toxic levels.

Just because there is a 'vitamin' in the word combination does not mean its cool to down as much as you want.

Youd be better off taking the advice of Hoosier and grubing out cuz food absorbs alcohol. The fact that he said White Castle makes the decision all the easier, hamburgers made at the hands of god or carrot juice????? church
