tonytigerbkk Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) The best cure that I know of is Pocari sweat (available at Foodland), which is a Japanese electrolyte sports drink Edited May 4, 2012 by tonytigerbkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerryk Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Every hotel I ever managed had oxygen. Stood in the walk in cooler breathing oxygen for 30 minutes. Alternative go to the hospital. They will hook you up to an IV and oxygen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h90 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 i had some dr freinds who, while in med school, used to wake up and run a bag o' saline into their arms. claimed it worked wonders. pure O2 should also help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Next time you get the sudden urge to communicate with god via the big white telephone, get some KFC chips, really hot and salty,and dip them into the delicious brown gravy made from chicken leftovers. This works better than the milkshake stunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushdepth Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Some greasy food will give you small temporary relief. Otherwise you're screwed, basically. Next time drink truckloads of water before you go to sleep. Only thing that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soutpeel Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 i had some dr freinds who, while in med school, used to wake up and run a bag o' saline into their arms. claimed it worked wonders. Did this a few times in the army, only problem was sometimes the medic was out with us the night before and his hands were shaking more than ours when he was putting the needle in, so it did work wonders once you got over the bleeding out from the veins he stuck the needle though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Try some Ibruphen (not sure if that is the correct spelling). I used to use that all the time with good results. Must be the painkiller ingredient in it, as it is not made for hangovers. Although you probably won't be able to get it, a couple of blasts of pure oxygen will help get the crap out of the blood stream. By far the best hangover cure! When i was working in Bahrain, the airplane pilot's would say they were still drunk walking on to the plane but as soon as they put the oxygen mask on, they would be perfect. Truth or not, i don't know. Best thing to do, drink lots of water. A hangover is just dehydration. I know medics who put a saline drip thing in and have a sleep, they wake up perfect. When i drink, i have a big bottle of water by my bed and i wake up nearly every hour, take a drink and go back to sleep. Good as new by the morning. Trust me, this works a treat, i'm in the navy, so i know what i'm talking about. Not advisable if using bunkbeds ......unless the bloke underneath has an umbrella:) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP25 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'm feeling for you, they get worse as you get older. Yeah, that's what I've found. Up until my mid 20s I wouldn't get hangovers, I could drink like a fish and be fine the next day as long as I slept in a bit. Now it takes 2 days to fully recover. Really takes a lot of the fun out of drinking, which is why I've become a much lighter drinker. Kinda sad actually as it used to be a lot of fun but now there is too big a price to pay the next day.

This works better than the milkshake stunt. and even more important! Don't eat noddles. If the big white phone is calling and you just close your mouth to prevent a nice decoration of your home, the noodles can pass the nose.....than it may happen that you have noodles in your nose, half outside half inside your body.... You would vomit if you wouldn't already vomit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuturatica Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 OP, didn't you write on the Health Forum that you suffer from a few different things, all of which make me think you need to keep away from alcohol Yes I did and do. I have chronic kidney failure. Of course I shouldn't drink alcohol. However I'm in this world for a good time not a long time and I very rarely drink, only on special occasions. I get drunk quite quickly and my hangovers are horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastitche Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Only thing that would help you through the day is alcohol, speaking from decades of experience. Tomorrow is a new day, just endure it.

LucidLucifer Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I get the pukes after seriously heavy sessions. I've always found the best thing is to have lots of regular small sips of water. Resist the urge to gulp it down, you'll only bring it back up. If you can stomach it get some electrolyte powder from the pharmacy, and drink that. Eat a small amount of food, nothing greasy/salty/spicy etc when you feel ready. Again, don't scoff anything. I completely understand where you are at the moment, you have my sympathy. Now i'm off for a beer lao...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theblether Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Irn Bru is quite clearly the best thing to ever come out of Scotland. I miss it loads! It was my favourite soft drink in the UK and it always made me feel better on hangovers too! I set up a deal to sell it into China, the British Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai had their annual St Andrews Night Ball in November 2010, and I donated a case of full strength Irn Bru ( 24 x 330ml cans ) to the charity auction. The case sold for approx 13 000 baht, and I sold out the next day. It truly is our other National Drink. ps The last time I spoke to Barrs ( manufacturers of Irn Bru ) they told me they had an enquiry from a business in Phuket. I think they were quite close to doing a deal. I can't be bothered getting involved at the moment but if the contract is still available in a couple of years I'll get it imported. It gives me an excuse to fly Business Class at my companies expense instead of me paying for the flights out of my own pocket. cunning huh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
