BajaNomad - Best cure for a hangover

Best cure for a hangover

1000lbBlue - 7-10-2008 at 09:04 AM

I was wondering what all your cures are for a night out with too much beer and too much tequila is...
I usually go for a morning fresh dip in the sea or ocean and a cold ballena after...

woody with a view - 7-10-2008 at 09:08 AM

more hair of the dog......or sleep.....or good 'ol fashioned greasy food....but my personal favorite

black beans over rice with two eggs on top.

shari - 7-10-2008 at 09:09 AM

All of the above plus a big heaping bowl of menudo or birria.

oldlady - 7-10-2008 at 09:15 AM

A large cheeseburger, mayo, tomatoes, lettcue (can't cook? substitute 2 Big Macs) followed by 1000mg Vitamin C sloshed down with a chocolate milkshake.
Of course, I have only "heard" this works.

Feel Better!

Midol, Bloody Mary, Menudo

In Ireland it was said that the cure for a hangover is to bury the ailing person up to the neck in moist river sand. Not sure if beach sand is a satisfactory substitute or not, but be sure to do it on an outgoing tide if you try it.

Another option: Hair of the Dog

* 6 oz Gin
* 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
* 2-3 dashes Tabasco sauce
* slice of chili pepper

my favorite cure for a hangover:
Drink a huge glass of water before you go to sleep and have a nice noodle soup the next day.... Works for me

Sunman - 7-10-2008 at 10:26 AM

800mgs motrin, water & grease.

bajasol - 7-10-2008 at 10:36 AM

Ah the age old question...for me, it depends what got me to that state.
Wine, Tequila, beer, vodka, B&B, rum...they all have their own cures.

Stay with one poison, drink huge glass of water night of indulgence before bed, Vietnamese stores have this drink that is loaded with B vitamins....I always keep some in the fridge.
Try not to remember too much of what you said or to whom. Brush teeth and ask whoever is next to you the next morning to do the same.

Alka Seltzer before you go to sleep--works for me

You're right. The original question was asking about a cure for a hangover. 'Hair of the Dog' is more of a delaying action.

Take 2 Advil before you sleep & you won't wake up with a hangover

Hangovers are caused mainly due to dehydration and B vitamin deficiency.

B vitamins (specifically B-12) and lots of water before you goto bed.... then eat something like eggs and potatoes after you wake up. (If it's really bad, water and toast until you can stomach more.)

When I drink straight tequilla I often drink it with a glass of cool ice water on the side with my tequila.. that does two things.. slows my tequila intake down and keeps me hydrated.

Micheladas can make you feel better if you subscribe to the keep drinking routine.

Second (Third, Fourth?) Lots of Ice

Gypsy Jan - 7-10-2008 at 12:40 PM

Also, big glass of water prior to going to bed, unless some of you Nomads have that "going" problem that the ad on TV talks about.

Next morning, more ice water and a handmade quesadilla or two filled with Oaxaca string cheese and chopped, roasted jalapenos

It's called "Sweating out the Oldies" (Or so I hear.)

Cypress - 7-10-2008 at 01:39 PM

Only wimps have hangovers, they should stick with tea. :tumble:

Take a hammer and hit your big toe as hard as you can. You will not notice the hangover. Guaranteed to work!

rpleger - 7-10-2008 at 03:09 PM

A large glass of water with a high potency multivitamin and two asprin before I go to bed. Does it for me.

capt. mike - 7-10-2008 at 04:06 PM

prescription drugs, a red beer or 2, sleep.
then eat gobs of mexifood.....more sleep. more beer.

feeling fine now.

i have tried the oxy bottle since i have one. it helps a little with cognitive diffidence.

Alan - 7-10-2008 at 05:24 PM

If you can remember all that before you hit the sack you definitely didn't imbibe enough :no:

Besides, those remedies are for "Amateurs"

vandy - 7-11-2008 at 09:50 AM

Let's see...

A bong hit to settle your stomach and make you thirsty

Alka-seltzer and water for headache/dehydration

B-complex for the shakes Washed down with a beer, of course)

A line or two of good coke to wake you up.

Now you're ready to start over again!

Martyman - 7-11-2008 at 03:03 PM

Vandy...

We're talking about something that feels like the top half of your head is separated from the bottom half by six-inches and there's a cold wind blowing in-between!

Glass of room temp water, followed 15-minutes later by two extra-strength Tylenol (gentle).

Twenty minutes after the Tylenol take 10 mg. of diazepam (Valium) and shut out all of the outside light. Room temperature should be in the high sixties.

When your doze is over you might be ravenous. Start out by scrambling three eggs with a little milk. Serve on hot unbuttered toast.

I've heard that when medical doctors get hangovers, they use an IV to replace fluids and put in any needed medicine. Would Baja doctors or pharmacists be willing to hook up a post traumatic alcohol sufferer to an IV? I've had hangovers so bad that I couldn't eat or drink anything until 6:00 PM without ralphing thus rendering most of the above remedies as worthless. An IV would seem to do the trick.

capt. mike - 7-12-2008 at 06:56 AM

packy.........you need to start drinkin' higher quality stuff.....
switch from hooch sold in plastic 1 gal jugs to proper liter bottles with appropriate gov't stamps thereon. :lol:

Packoderm - 7-12-2008 at 09:13 AM

Well, I don't know about the cheap booze thing. The only time I drink cheap booze is at an all-inclusive resort. I don't really like the taste of it, so I don't drink too much of it and no problems arise. It works out OK because the whole swimming pool area is full of party type people partaking, but nobody seems to get stupid drunk and cause problems. When I go camping, I can drink a whole lot of Coors Banquet without any problem, but pale ale, porter, or stout can make me pay the next day. Straight tequila, regardless of the quality, is likely to cause problems. After drinking too much JD or Wild Turkey, I'd want the IV with some sort of medicine. But the sad truth is - I haven't had a bad hangover for about 3 of more years.

From my bartending days...

Tomas Tierra - 7-12-2008 at 09:43 AM

A glass of soda water, three good squirts of angostura bitters, half of a lemon squeezed, and a shot of grenadine.

That concoction saved many a young little hottie c-ck tail waitress form sufferage...they then seemed to feel a debt of gratitude necessary :yes:

.....ah the good ole days-over.

For myself, Birria de Chiva en su jugo and a good clamato corona works well.

bajadock - 7-12-2008 at 09:44 AM

For my alcohol excess cure the next morning, I choose from a menu of milk, tomato juice, potato chips, breakfast burrito, cold pizza or just about any greasy food.

Noticed in my 21 months living in Mexico that there seems to be a significant increase in alcohol consumption from my previous social life in Denver.

"Dog hair" idea has never worked for me.

I admit to being a minor leaguer compared to others when it comes to drinking. Usually stick with beer or wine as I seem to be able to monitor their effects v. the tougher stuff.

I am working on my health and agree with those recommending water before, during and after adult beverage consumption. In addition to choosing the right parents, I think that my water consumption keeps me away from headaches.
