Ask Lemmy

Get some Pho.

You'll be sluggish still but you won't be half dead.

I get hungover way less since I drink a lot of water after or ideally at the same time as getting drunk.

If I get hungover anyway it's greasy food, weed, sweet drinks like soda or juice schorle and couch with a series or a silly movie. Probably a cat or two with me on the couch. Let's be honest, probably only the one, the other only really loves my SO. Normal stuff I guess.

Or if it's summer festival time maybe countering with beer might be another option to kill a hangover.

Don't forget to drink water the night before , you will feel better the next day. Its dehydration that hit us the most so being hydrated while and after drinking helps a lot.

Assuming it's not seriously illegal where you live, substitute alcohol for cannabis, have a great night and wake up rested and refreshed the next morning.

Seems to be less damaging to the body long term too, but that's neither here nor there.

A 2011 study in rats claims caffeine and NSAIDs

Once the source of the hangover headache was located, the researchers then set about figuring out how to get rid of the pesky things, using known headache blockers. Turns out the combination of caffeine and over-the-counter inflammatory drugs (i.e., NSAIDs – things like aspirin and ibuprofen) were best at blocking the head-pounding effects of the acetate.

Electrolytes, not from a sugary sports drink, but something like Liquid IV. If I hit the sauce a little too hard I usually drink one at the end of the night as well, along with a good amount of water.

Have another drink.

Thiamine, aka B1 vitamin. So your liver uses all your B1 tryna process all the alcohol, then there's none for your brain = headaches, foggy thinking etc. I have some before bed, and upon waking, and some food. Long term deprivation of B1 -causes permanent brain damage. Also there's the dehydration thing too.

My brain always tries to convince me to eat greasy heavy food, but that never seems to help much. For some reason an apple always makes me feel much better. After that it's just headache drugs and time.

Take a dump, eat something, have a coffee, take another dump. Hangover gone.

Add water in between steps.

Greasy food bro!

This poor guy’s trying to ride out a hangover on water and ibuprofen!

You need some hash browns, sausage, and coffee.

Cannabis and coconut water is the ultimate cure for hangovers.

And a bowl of either Menudo or Pho helps too if you can stomach food.

Stuff your face and try and get moving around

My wife swears by coca cola and pickle juice, but I just grab a Gatorade.

Suffer

Mostly just caffeine, water and extra sleep. I do my best to only drink to a hangover on weekends and since I’m single I don’t really have any responsibilities.

Sometimes people ask if I want a drink. I say no, I don't drink, thanks. If they say why, I say "I've had enough."

A nice bowl of menudo is the magic cure down here. It coats your stomach and helps you rehydrate. It’s especially therapeutic if you’ve grow up with the stuff and have mentally accepted it is a cure.

Ibuprofen, vitamin b, lots of water, sleep it off.

Or two slices of Vegemite on toast washed down with a Guinness

Water, black coffee, and breakfast tacos with the spiciest habanero sauce I have in the pantry

Live. Laugh. Love.

And then chug water until my tummy hurts

Bcomplex + electrolyte drink

Gatorade and something greasy always fixes me up pretty quickly

My go-to is vegetable broth in addition to regular water. And ibuprofen if the headache is unbearable.

Antihistamines will stop the headache, can I also suggest a breakfast carbonara? (Do NOT use cream like some sort of maniac, fry bacon (or pancetta) and onion (and maybe mushrooms) in oil, grate some parmesan (or pecorino), boil the pasta for 10 minutes, lightly whisk a couple of eggs when the pasta is almost done, drain the pasta, mix the whisked egg, fried delights and cheese through the pasta, season, devour.)

If you get hangxiety, phosphatidylserine works a treat.

Light exercise (even a walk) will do wonders. If you can.

Otherwise chillout. Play some games, scroll the internet, watch your shows. Assuming these are things you do at least on a weekly basis anyway, you may as well do them when you're too meh to be more productive.

The Bourdain method. Hands down.

I clean the house as a form of punishment. Then some kind of brunch with eggs, strong coffee, and NO mimosas.
