Had a bit too much last night and now I’m on my usual routine of water, ibuprofen, and waiting. Was curious if anyone has a better go to?

    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.

    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.

      Hangover days are biscuits and gravy. The heavy salt and grease make up for a lot of it.

      If that fails, I would go to Tylenol and electrolyte drinks.

    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.

        I like to get drunk as hell and then smoke up the same night. It used to give me a bad case of the spins in my 20s but these days it’s fine. Plus the weed keeps me from drinking too much to the point of hangover, cause the moment it kicks in I lose all desire to drink.

    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.

    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.

        I try to avoid ibuprofen or Tylenol as they’re hard on the liver and kidneys which are already working overtime to flush the alcohol out of your system.

        I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it yet but next time take the ibuprofen before going to bed (while still intoxicated). My friends and I always set out an ibuprofen next to the bed before drinking to remember. You’ll feel 10x better in the morning.

      This is what I do when I have a raging headache the next morning. Eat some protein, drink lots of water, and take an ibuprofen. I’m usually good by the time afternoon comes.

    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.

    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.
