eat accompanied by a TED (or 3) and you're set.

1L of water before going to sleep - of course this doesnt work if u then throw up. if you do throw up, drink more water

Sorin, you beat me to it!!

I am going to make one of those tonight to see how it goes.
If I die. It was wonderful knowing you all

Best one i know of is "Dont Drink" LOL sorry!

Um theres even things in the chemist now that help.
Maybe try certain herbal things.

Yeah like Hash Brownies

Drink more
panadol and Gatorade
Greasy Food
That pizza looks good !!

x2. OJ & Gatorade work too.
Morning after, Berocca gives you some pepper back into your muscles. But then again, so does a hot shower and hotter coffee.

x3. the difference it makes to have a crapload of water before you got sleep is amazing. usually the difference between jump out of bed the next morning and stay in bed the whole day with a hangover.

Ooooo God that pizza looks deliciousssssssss!!

Btw what about Vitamin B? I heard its pretty good to cure hangover and also drink milk, it works for me

A tactical chunder and abuot 3 Litres of water at night, plus another litre during the night itself. In the morning, berocca downed with a glass of milk.

I should know, Ive never had a hangover! Ever. And I have had my fair share of alcohol

yeh when you drink vitamin b gets leeched from your system.

The ultimate hangover cure is a saline drip.

all a hangover is is massive dehydration and lack of sleep (read that even if you do get enough sleep ie 8 hours it still doesn't count for very much because you don't enter your delta sleep pattern for as long).

Your body can only take in so much water every hour and with a bad hangover it isn't really fast enough. A drip will fix you up in ~20min, pity about the acess factor though

x2 matt love that glass of milk in the morning and the 2l cordial bottle of water before i pass out the night before haha

Meh deal with it - be a man cop that hang over if you drink that much you need to suffer the pain. My worst hang over lasted 3 days I actually dont know what i did the night before but 5 years later and the stories still come in and supprise me. The second worse was the day that i woke up in a different state - and we werent even ment to be going on a road trip...


But water rocks and if you can stand the initial stabing then fruit and veg esp things like bananas and carrots and loads of water and a few Vitamin B tabs.

Actually if you google for info on E pills they have a whole heap of advice for "come downs" alot of those remidies work well for hang overs too. if you know your going to have a big night best thing to do is to perpare for it eat a fair bit of food that helps your body produce serotonin this helps you be less grumpy when you have a hang over.

Nothing worse than having a hang over and being grumpy - you dont mean to be grumpy its just your tiredness and pain makes you short and makes you come actorss as grumpy so every one around you gets their back up and that just makes the whole experiance worse

As long as I don't mix my drinks i don't suffer from hangovers, might feel a bit queezy the morning after, but nothin upchucking. ew that sounds gross...

but the odd occasion that i do have lots of different drinks.... usually when there's a bar tab with cheap white wine i drink water, water, water and nurofen PLUS and water and water and it used to be maccas breakfast the morning after, but now....hmmm...vegemite toast?? yes, yum!

btw - omg!!!! that pizza...about 500 points on the weight watchers points plan!! but looks so good all the same. Very creative you should go to the creators of Supersize Me and see about a sequel with one of those baby's as a meal, or part of

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!

Eat before drinking or have a glass of milk before going out (it's all to line the stomach first).
1 glass of water between drinks.
Bottle of Gatorade/Powerade with 2 headache & magnesium pills before bed.

In the morning, you'll be sweet-az!

Yep, definately water before bed.

Ginger.

Preferably in liquid form.

Also, Bloody Marys are excellent.

Stop drinking cheap drinks.

I am a firm believer in Dr Ian something from the nationa hospital of neurology(SP) in that it is mostly the methanol/acetone content in alcoholic drinks that cause hangovers - mainly through my experiences in home brewing.

oh sorry midol didn't realise that the countless studies that show depleted vitamins, dehydration and lack of good sleepm mean nothing to your . It may add to it but i doubt very highly (read i would like to see an article) that this is a primary cause

Searching Journal Articles now.

You ever tried drinking a rough home brew of spirits (as in someone who hasn't taken the acetone and methanol out) as opposed to something bought which has the majority taken out.

You'll feel like complete bum on the home brew.


I never said that dehydration doesn't effect it as well but any half intelligent person would be drinking water at the same time that they are drinking water.

His name is Dr Ian Calder.

Top one, journal article. Can't take any from the UNIs database caus' of copyright and all that crap.

i would like to bump up the "how f'n great that pizza looks"

=] going to try that one day

Clear drinks seem to have less of an impact with regards to a hangover, compared to your whiskeys etc. Adding coke makes you feel worse too.

To me that is explained by the distillation process of the differing drinks. Gin and Vodka and such are all distilled differently.

NOTE: When I say it is the acetone and metho it is still the drink causing it, just not the ethanol in the drink.... In my opinion anyway.

sorry if this sounds a bit critical midol but the article is from almost 10 years ago, there has to be some more up to date info?

"In fact ethanol itself MAY play only a minor part"
"Complex organic molecules called congeners are PROBABLEY more to blame than ethanol"
"This MAY explain why some drinks reportedly produce worse hangover symptoms than others."

It seems a little wishy washy, the science is pretty solid but no real test or anything have seen to be done on it.

Midol your a retard any correctly distilled spirit will have such a low concentration of harmful organic compounds to be irrelevent which is why you sometimes hear of people going blind/insane/dead from home distilled spirits as they don't do it properly. Even low amounts of methanol isn't that harmful as it takes chronic drinking of Metho to do severe long term damage.

Hangovers are 99% caused by dehydration that is an undiputable fact your also ignoring that Ethanol is metabolised to Ethanal CH3CHO which is toxic. Good hangover cure for me drink heaps of water while your out and as much as you can before you go to bed. I've drank 3/4 of a bottle of bacardi 151 (over quite a few hours!!) this way and felt not quite like the living dead the next day simply by drinking lots and lots of water. Midol your a fool people like you are why teenagers are given such a bad name these days. By your reasoning I can drink 100% pure ethanol all day and not have a hangover, oh wait I've done this many times and suprise suprise yes you will get a hangover if you drink enough!!

Heres another thing Gin is just Vodka (Pure Alcohol and water) that has had primarly Juniper (and others depending on the brand) berries soaked in it, its not even a spirit technically. And guess what? every distilling method under the sun is used to make gin and vodka but they all still give you hangovers if you drink enough!!

In short your a moron with very little knowledge of alcohol and its effects and I urge everybody to ignore your posts on this topic as I am going to.

Firstly, it's "you're a retard", I doubt I need to point out the irony there; secondly, is it really necessary to call someone a retard simply because they have a differing point of view? I personally don't know Midol from a bar of soap, nor do I necessarily agree with what he has said; I do however take issue with you saying that HE is giving people a bad name when it is you that have gone on the attack with the name calling etc.
If you have a point of view to put across, do so, but only children feel the need to resort to name calling in order to back it up.

I can't find any others other than through the UNI databases, and I am not risking my access to them by posting them here.

If you have access to one, search him up (y)


No Marlin, I won't bother responding to you because arguing with a patronising condescending f***tard gets you no where The fact that you think Ethanol is the sole cause of a hangover is amusing...

ps; it is impossible to get 100% ethanol

pps; where are your journal articles?

Calm down kids, calm down

And its not alcohol that gets you drunk, but the chemical released by your body as a result from the intake of alcohol. The drunkeness is a natural chemical found in the body.

In the greater scheme of things, its not really that important. Drink water, eat food, drink in moderation and dont drive. What more is there to say?

i thought it was possible to get 100% methanol as isnt this whats used as rocket fuel?? i dunno just something that i have heard and its not like just anyone can get there hands on rocket fuel but if your either 1 studying or working with either something to do with distilling or even possible rockets of some sort it would be possible to get your hands on?? wouldnt it, no "articles" to back that up but just heard it down the grape vine

also drinking water in between every drink, wouldnt that:
1: make it alot harder to get drunk, as that is why your drinking in the first place otherwise you would just space your drinks, and i suppose sip water, but if you were doing that you wouldnt really get a hang over anyways

2: be hard to fit in a full glass of water for every full glass of alcohol, i find it bloating enough just drinking enough to get drunk

although i do support drinking lots of water before going to bed and i have also heard the a good thick layer of vegemite on bread is good for its vitamin B content, although never have tried it

Another vote for drinking water before bed here.

Here are some facts for you!!

• Methanol is quite simply an element with a single carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms and a hydroxyl radical
• It is used quite extensively in motor-car racing, specifically indy car racing and supercharged drag cars because it burns slower then petroleum.
• Burns clear (has no visible flame) too.
• The Germans used it as rocket-fuel for their V-birds
• These days however, modern jet engines burn Kerosene
• Though Rockets burn solid or liquid fuels such as Nitrogen tetroxide and hydrazine or Aluminium/Ammonium Percholorite mixtures!!
• It can be quite easily had in concentrations of 100%, but why anyone would want it for drinking is beyond me

For note, when Ethanol is mixed with Methanol, we get Methalated Spirits. This is whats commonly known as 'Metho'. Not for the faint hearted drinker Im sure.

And last I checked, the 2006/2007 series of Indy Car racing will be done on 100% ethanol.

FYI, an alcohol in the loosest definition of terms is simply an element with hydroxide bonds.

Gatorade and Water Before bed, standard reply.
CVBASS pulls up ok after wedges with sour cream and slasa....
....for me it helps to get into some sort of bedroom acrobatics the next morning if your stomach can handle it. Quite often you have so much fun that you forget you're hung over in the first place....

But each to his own really......

Can you explain to me how you manage to get 100% ethanol. All my books on home distilling point to 96.4% or something being the highest concentration of ethanol you can get...

Water all the way, I keep a few bottles in my room so i dont need to stumble too far.

Down a litre before bed after drinking. Dont really worry about anything else really, and this solves all my problems. (and I drink a fair bit)

I also agree in drinking good alcohol and not cheap crap, but stick with the water before bed and ul be laughing...

In the day, berocca, powerade, water etc.

You can get 100% methanol.

Ethanol abosrbs moisture from the air, thus why you can only get ~96.4% or you use a chemical dryer and then seal it from the enviroment... It isn't cheap making 100% ethanol.

Yep, I find that water does the trick just before you go to bed, followed by Coke in the morning and plenty of greezy food.

I try and steer clear of anything like white wine, Champange and lemon mixed drinks as I find they are the ones that give me the hangovers.... to many bad experiences waking up in other peoples clothes in foreign places.

Its red wine for me!

Red wine.... classy.

I find...
Vodka..... anything that's above eye level.... or yum yum yum redbull and vodka or pulse....
that keeps me poppin...

speeking of wine tho if you want something fizzy, crisp and sweet Yellowglen's Bella does it for me everythine..... no hangovers... not that i've experienced thus far anyways..... not like with yellow.
I thik it has a lower alcohol content but *mwah* it's just tops... Infact i'm going to have a glass now...
all this talking has given me a craving for brunch bella.....

er, you answered your own question there mate

100% is obtained (for fuel additives) through extra purification, distilling and drying from what I can remember. Was a while ago since I did chemistry though...

Note - I was talking about Methanol before, not Ethanol. Except for the 2006/2007 Indy season using 100% ethanol as fuel. That was Ethanol

And I agree with 'I wear short shorts'. A good root is always the best cure for a hangover.

Extra distillation won't work to get 100% caus' as it comes out of the distiller it makes contact with air.

Lol, I realised afterwards that I answered my own question but didn't want to edit it

at the end of the day its clear i have the bigger penis lol, midol your arguing over peanuts!, notice slowly everyone is starting to not care what your posting, if its 96.4% its good enough to 100% for me, who cares

I don't mind if no one cares what I post I mostly read.

Someone else initiated this argument. My argument isn't that ethanol is 96.4% it is that there IS methanol and acetone in alcoholic drinks and that small amount of methanol and acetone is what causes the hangover...

Whatever though - I don't even know who you are so I don't give a damn what you have to say

X8 Water before bed.

Failing that or you still find yourself feeling a bit that way, you could try a Canadian Red Eye. Beer and tomato juice 50/50. Sounds horrible, tastes all right and worded for me more than once.

Best advice. Don't drink so much.

Cheers

whooa man that avatar is cool

^^^ was just thinking that.


i prefer not to stop drinking, this stops hangovers occoring

lol

fuddbutter has apoint there!

Champion!
