there is no such thing as a hangover. its all in the mind. i just go on the internet and tell julia to make me better all day.

My fave is 2 x 800mg Brufen tablets taken with flat Irn-Bru (it has to be flat though...)

Also, my mate swears by a Snickers bar eaten with a cup of strong sugary tea...bite a piece of chocolate and then sip the tea, let it melt in your mouth and then swallow. Instant cure by all accounts - never tried it, I don't cope well with solids after drinking

Firstly u gotta get some sort of breakfast (maccy d's or local greasy cafe is favourite)!

Then eat sugary sweets, I recommend Haribo Sour Mix.

And finally, hair of the dog!

Never believed anyone when they said it works, but it really does!! Although finding a drink u can handle even the smell of the next day can sometimes be a barrier

Someone once told me that the reason you get a headache with a hangover is because you're so dehydrated that your brain actually shrinks slightly and pulls at the membrane ronud your skull.

Just a thought....

Yeah having just come back from a weekend sailing I needed some kinda cure!
1) for the over consumed alcohol

2) the fact I was desperate for the loo at 2am, 4am this morning! :sawery:
3) the sea sickness!

:rolleyes:
