Hangover Prevention

[Discombobbled]

For those who are interested and like to drink, I think I've finally come up with a concoction that prevents hangovers to a certain acceptable extent. Seems to work for me anyway (yes I'm applying for a patent).

The first issue is the free radicals created by alcohol consumption, pretty significant. I've found that taking 500mgs of vitamin C every 3 drinks helps significantly.

The second is dehydration, which results in an imbalance of electrolytes. Taking a 500 mg potassium pill every 6 drinks will address the electrolyte issue.

The third, and most significant, is a serious drop in blood sugar. Before you go to bed drink a mixture of 10 OZs of water, half teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of sugar.

If you get 8 hours of sleep you should wake up feeling pretty good, if not normal.

I've spent alot of time and effort trying to figure this out, so please, if you use the above please let me know how effective it is. Thanks.

Hey mon ... I tried yo recipe last night. Got pretty drunk, but followed da program just as yo 'ad recommeneded bro. It was all going well until about tree o'clock dis morning ... when dis Bruddha awoke standing in my red, black and green jamaican flag undies ... at the corner of Georgia and Granville Streets. People was laughin' at me Bro ... I was pretty discombobbled ... and den I realized I was packing a mother fuckin' semi-auto weapon ... so I blamed it on my blood sugar and shot all dem 'appy bastards. It was pretty chill to watch 'em flippin' around on da pavement ... but it was past dis Bruddha's bed time and I thought I should be gettin' 'ome. Dis morning mon ... I don't tink I got 8 hours of sleep ... but I wake up feeling pretty good, if not normal.

Sorry about the blackout Bruddha!! I should have mentioned my recipe has no control over that Anyway, I'm glad it worked for your hangover, at least you can remember your indiscretions with a clear mind?

While taking the potassium pill will be helpful, it still won't address the issue of dehydration. You piss quite bit while drunk and it definitely helps to rehydrate during and after drinking. Myself, I've been able to get by with simply drinking large amounts of water, some while drinking booze, but most of it before bedtime. I found this to be the most helpful during my heavy drinking days.

My steps to hangover prevention?
1. Many glasses of water before bed.
2. Good long sleep.
3. More glasses of water, along with a Tylenol.
4. A big greasy breakfast consisting of fried eggs, bacon, toast, OJ and a pot of coffee.
5. A good long shower.

I hear Red Bull is a good hangover drink - true or false? I've never tasted it.

Blue Gatorade and rum??? Yuck! Captain Morgan's skeleton rolled over in its treasure cave. Sounds absolutely ghastly. And I've been an amateur "pirate" for most of my long drinking career.

I am sure that dsicom's hang over pretentative works well. I have an alternative, which I got from a doctor friend of mine in MN.

1. A vitamin B complex tablet.
2. A single tylenol or aspirin.
3. All the water you can possible drink.
4. All of this is taken at once just before bed.

I drank very heavily for many years and this preventative worked like magic each and every time I employed it.

I suspect that the water is the key, since it is the thing which prevents dehyrdation, which I think is the really culprit in hang overs.

now, some of you might really hate me for what I'm about to tell you .....

I never had a hangover in my life .... no... I'm not a Virgin Mary ... I was drunk many times in my life .... but it just doesn't happen to me .... and it runs in the family .... my old man is the same .... never ever had a hangover.

.... I can sin, with no penalty

You can always not drink to prevent a hangover.

You can always not drink to prevent a hangover.

That's just TOO easy!!!

You can always not drink to prevent a hangover.

Now where's the fun in that?

That's exactly what worked for me too... if I wasn't too pissed to remember!

And Vanman, I think you're describing a national characteristic!

ohh, no .. I was hated by my friends ... especially in the mornings

if your at the bar or club drinking or are already drunk and are making an effort to sober up .. for the next 2hrs drink nothing but plain pineapple juice. by the time the 2hrs are up you will be sober if not completely sober.

if your really drunk and are about to go to sleep its simple. drink a 1.5litre of gatorade or bigger and take a multivitamin. you'll wake up feeling better than you did the night before.

 

[Discombobbled]

Blue gatorade and rum do the trick. Gets you really pissed but no hangover cuz the Gatorade does something to you. Can't remember what. Some guy in the liquor store told me about it. Worked good.

Good idea. Gatorade is full of electrolytes, thus my reasoning for potassium and salt. It's also full of sugar, thus my reasoning for a saltly/sugary drink before you nod off. Sometimes I tend to drink more then most might, thus my reasoning to ensure a proper electrolyte/water balance with specific items.

I'm not sure about the tylenol before bed. It's been said that taking tylenol while there's still alcohol in your system can fuck up your liver and other organs.

Very true, acetminophin or tylenol can have a very serious effect on your liver. Lots of people have died from doing just that. Thus, my reasoning for vitamin C, Potassium, Vitamin D, and others. Be well.
