    More drink??? or not drinking the night before ;)

    Nah in all seriousness a hangover is caused by dehydration of the body tissues including the brain... the best cure for this is to drink PLENTY of fluids preferably a 50/50 mix of fresh fruit juice and water (Cranberry is best as it has the highest proportion of vitamin C which also helps) if not just take 1 or 2 vitamin C tablets and drink PLENTY of water of soft drinks... try and avoid caffeinated drinks as caffeine is a diuretic (sp?) which causes further dehydration!

    Send in the next patient please!! :D

    I agree with DQ, leaving a pintof water next to your bed before you go outhelps you to remember to drink before you go to bed when you come in too, very good idea, saved me from many a hangover, I can tell you!

    Someone once told me that if you drink a pint of milk or eat some bread BEFORE you go out drinking, that it stops you getting to out of your head!

    To which i replied 'Where's the fun in that!?' :D

    To this day i've not tried it.

    The idea behind that is that bread soaks up the alcohol so slowing down the alcohol release into your blood system as the bread is digested... but it doesn't STOP you getting drunk though and the milk is to 'put a lining on your stomach' it lines the stomach with a mucus lining helping to slow down alcohol absorption, it also helps cut down the irritation on the stomach lining which alcohol can cause, but again is really an old wives tale :D

    Drinking a pint of milk would only make me chuck before I got near alcohol.

    you know, if you drink often enough you no longer get the hangovers. In fact, you feel ill if you haven't had a drink. Allegedly.

    Best hangover cure for me is a dirty big fry up and a can of coke.

    The thing of it is, is that i never used to get hangovers either, but i have noticed as i'm getting older, that they get worse with age!

    Or maybe it's just me. :D

    I had a horrible whisky/buckfast/guinness/red wine/spliff hangover on sunday there, on account of Thstle getting promoted to the Scottish Premier League on saturday.
    Unfortunately, I'd agreed to get up on sunday to attend a friend's suprise birthday do, which was being held in a hippy tea shop, because his girlfriend likes such tie-dyed stuff.
    Anyway, I staggered along, stinking of drink and feeling very much like throwing up, and was presented with a cup of chinese green tea, and a lecture about how it would "cleanse my toxins and rebalance my chi"...

    and it did.
    It tasted like warm water with dandelions in it, but it put me fully back on track.
    So, in short, Green Tea is good for curing hangovers
