It's a genuinely filling meal that is easy on the stomach, it has a lot of liquid to help with dehydration, and enough salt to help replace the missing electrolytes.
100% agree Pho is a life saviour in these situations. But at the same time thats what pho is in any situation. Like a hug, a blanket and a kiss on the forehead.
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.
Weed seems to act like a sleeping pill for me. It's not exactly "fun". It just feels like I took something like presumably Ambien or something. I don't get any positive effects from it like alcohol.
It's not that I'm doing too much either. If I take very miniscule amounts, I feel nothing. If I take slightly more, I feel incredibly sleepy and hungry with no positive effects. I've tried to ride out the sleepiness before to see if I get something good out of it, but it just makes me feel sick like I'm coming down with something.
I have tried to take more than that to see if I was taking too little, but it made me uncomfortably dissociate and gave me extreme nausea.
This is only in reference to weed edibles for the record. Less than 2.5 mg and I feel nothing. 2.5-5 mg and I feel overwhelming sleepy and mildly sick. 6-10 mg seems to be too much for me. I have limited access to materials to smoke it due to legality in my area. I also am not keen on damaging my lungs either.
I keep going back to it now and then hoping I'll get something out of it, but it just unfortunately doesn't seem to do anything for me. I wish I could use it to replace alcohol because alcohol gives me intense GI upset with even small amounts. But I simply don't get any positive effects from weed at all whatsoever. The sleeping pill part is sort of useful on the rare occasion I have trouble sleeping. But usually my problem is the opposite...I can't stay awake on a regular basis without any drugs. So purposefully taking something to knock me out isn't great.
I get a terrible headache if I smoke a lot of weed the night before. I also know many people (including myself sometimes) who get really bad anxiety even with just a bit of weed. I like to cannabis but it just has never hit the same as alcohol for me
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.
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.
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.
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.
I hear you. My dad was a menudo making wizard. If you think the finished dish smells bad, you’d hate it being cooked. We had a burner in the garage specifically so that dad could cook menudo outside of the house. Everyone loved the finished product. l didn’t really start to like it until my teenage years and now I can’t get enough. I guess it reminds me of dad.
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.)
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.
I don't know how people's bodies work when they say they drink coffee and greasy food after a hangover. If I'm hungover, that would be a sure fire recipe to get me to start puking and shitting everywhere.
I avoid the hangover all together by drinking smart.
Drink a water between each beer/drink. All it takes, Never had a hangover, regardless of how excessively I imbibed (it also really helps to keep the bill cheaper)
I do this but I'm one of those lucky folk that get hungover no matter what I do. Almost not worth the drink at all. A normal night out is 2 40ml glasses of whiskey and 2-3 500ml glasses of water.
Morning routine is fatty/oily carbs food, ibuprofen, big glass of water, a good poop and a cold as fuck shower.
Really good, flavorful, salty beef jerky preferably handcraft small batch type stuff works for me, along with several glasses of water. But what do I know? I only spent 30 years in intensive hangover prevention and cure.
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.
~18cm cucumber before drinking and one half way in. I haven't had a hangover since this discovery. Sorry I can't be much help for the hangover part :/ Good luck!
I was visiting our public swimming pool, and as I was already there: sauna. But cautiously. Got rid of a really bad hangover with a sauna and swimming in a few hours last spring. Works like magic. Plus of course large amounts of water and fruits.
Pedialyte, ibuprofen, and weed. I don't drink much anymore but I used to get the most wicked hangovers that would leave me puking well into the afternoon the next day and unable to keep even water or pills down. Weed is the only thing that helps in that situation.
