noooo as a hangover cure i was told to drink 2 litres and it would see me feeling better

1/2 tablespoon of baking soda in a 10 oz glass of water, mix well and chug it straight down. Some burping will pursue, followed by a settling of the stomach, possible diarrhea which is ok, its the toxins being neutralized and jettisoned out of the body. Best cure: head it off at the pass, right after drinking, have 20 oz of water, an aspirin, and if no food was consumed, eat some dry bread.

I agree the toxins will be "jettisoned" out of the body, I would say possibly out of both ends with that salty taste on a hangover. Salt on the potato chips, is soothing. Saltiness in water
You sir, have the strongest stomach ever.....

Its not the salty taste, but the neutralizing effect it has. I have used baking soda in the past, before working out, it buffers the stomach acids and extends endurance. I used to do a heaping tablespoon, and although it was nasty, it always stayed down. Its not for every one, I would prefer the potato chips too

When searching for folks remedies I always listen to a man who has two first names.


When dealing with a hangover you have to address 3 things:

Dehydration : Drink some gatorade

Toxins: For this eat some fresh fruit, or a green drink, I used to have REALLY bad hangovers, they'd last a whole day or two, but if I ate 5 or 6 Granny Smith Apples it would clear me up in about an hour.

Metabolism: Alcohol is burned as a fuel, it takes over for glycogen which is your primary fuel source, .... if you have nothing in your stomach your body will switch from alcohol to ketones, which can be a long and crappy process, ..... so eat before you go to sleep, and upon waking up, this will give you the carbs you need to smoothly transition back to glycogen.

Hair of the dog baby...

the only true remedy

(for non work days) when ya get up feeling like hadies is coming over,wake your best buddy pour two small shots wiskey or vodka....gag it down then have a smoke and a beer its never to early remember that lol.

(working morning hangovers) your F'ed,no way around it,sucks just gotta deal wait till 5

I get the *worst* hangovers, it is unreal! Although, I do consume large amounts at a time, so what can I expect?

I prepare myself before the drinking starts, by taking what is called ''lifeline'', then if I remember to do so, I drink a pint of water before sleep.
The next day I still wake with a headache and feeling rough, but not as bad as I should.
I drink a glass of Alka-Seltzer, and spend the rest of the day doing as little as possible.

Does this work well? No - but I dread to think how I would feel if I didn't do all that!
