- Zidave, on 04/09/2009, -1/+18I recommend drinking more alcohol
- Narcism, on 04/09/2009, -0/+10"A popular remedy not recommended for pregnant women or the elderly is the Prairie Oyster." I certainly hope there aren't hangover cures for pregnant women...
- matthewf01, on 04/09/2009, -0/+9Don't take Tylenol for this, you can seriously ***** up your liver. You're supposed to stick with aspirin. I have a giant bottle on hand from Costco for just that purpose.
- ekula, on 04/09/2009, -0/+9I thought this was decided yesterday:

- doctechnical, on 04/09/2009, -0/+8Best *preventative*: pound down as much water as you can stand before turning in for the night. A major part of a hangover is dehydration.
I know a guy who swears the remedy to a hangover is to take a jar of sauerkraut and drink the juice. In this case I think the cure is worse than the disease. - alF56x, on 04/09/2009, -2/+10Just smoke a bowl in the morning.
- harrythe3rd, on 04/09/2009, -1/+7weed & water
- derekmas10, on 04/09/2009, -0/+6Sounds like somebody needs to unwind. Go have a drink, warty.
- deadmoo, on 04/09/2009, -0/+6I thought prairie oysters were buffalo testicles or something else that has nothing to do with chicken eggs.
- MacEnvy, on 04/09/2009, -0/+6Ibuprofen is better, since aspirin can irritate the stomach lining. Or use "coated aspirin".
- ColonelJessup, on 04/09/2009, -0/+4Drink some pedialyte and go for a 30 minute jog. When you get home eat something and take a nap. When you wake up you feel right as rain, so you can start drinking again.
- flaminglips, on 04/09/2009, -0/+4One of the reasons people get hangovers is that an enzyme, which converts the toxic chemical that causes hangovers, doesn't work.
So eating random food won't help if you have that mutation.
Eating food and drinking water will help cure the dehydration, low blood sugar and vitamin B12 deficiency that alcohol causes. - skersh, on 04/09/2009, -0/+4Because abusing the substance is fun?
- AmazingA, on 04/09/2009, -0/+4I've found that a glucose tablet (made for diabetics) really helps. Especially when it's an extra nasty hangover. Gets your blood sugar back up after not being able to keep food down for a day.
- skersh, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2How I roll: OJ/grapefruit juice, tons of water, a hot, eggy breakfast (personal favorite is 2 eggs poached in tomato sauce with toast and whatever meats), a spicy caesar (I suppose bloody mary for the non-Canadians, but it's just not the same), and either a nap in a cold room, or a game of hockey. Either way, somewhere where I can be cold.
anecdote: I worked at a Beer Store (similar to the one in the picture with the rainbow), and on Sundays we would have 3 people working when it only took 1-2 to run the store, so whoever was hung over would either sleep in the break room, or, my preference, on the flattest stack of beer cases in the warehouse (which was chilled to ~10 degrees C) - onlines, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2Try my hang overcure, it's actually rather genius. When you realize and believe that you can dance, the immediate cancellation of any drinks must quickly be made. Then, it's easy coasting on happy buzzed street.
- FaceCage, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2"Scuba divers claim crawling out of bed and taking a blast from an oxygen tank does a wonderful job of blowing away cobwebs."
Uhh, scuba divers don't dive with pure oxygen. The air in scuba tanks, 99% of the time, is the same air that your breathing right now, just compressed.
That said, I'm sure some pure o2 would be good for your hangover, just don't look for it from a scuba tank. - dahood, on 04/09/2009, -1/+3my tips.
1. Alcohol,
2. Gatorade before sleep
3. Hydration salts before sleep. - ApolloXLII, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2yeah i had a serious wtf moment when i read that. isn't it rule of thumb that pregnant women shouldn't be drinking AT ALL???
- spect3r, on 04/09/2009, -1/+3Maybe I'm one in a million, but I find sex while hungover is incredibly good.
- heretrix, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2A couple of glasses of water and some aspirin before bed will fix you right up. People just love to over complicate things.
- datcracka, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2Adderall and Orange Juice FTW!
That would be a great band name, too... - popnwave, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2I love #9...but shouldn't pregnant women avoid getting hangovers to begin with?
- cpdylan, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2chocolate milk works for me.
- MikawaMike, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2It might have been one of the previous times a 'hangover cure' article came up, but I've read somewhere on the internets that the endorphins released from sex are a natural remedy for hangovers.
The endorphims released from exercise work the same way. Or for the Digger stereotype, the endorphins released from masturbation. - Yage2006, on 04/10/2009, -0/+1These are all ***** of course.
Take a long shower instead. - StripeyMagee, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1You got that right alF56x. A couple beers or shots after that and I'm good to go.
- skersh, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1I think people are digging you down because your attitude about it is *****.
First, you came into a story about strange hangover cures and jammed your unrelated opinion into it. If you don't drink, or don't like to, fine.
Next, you threw down a mini-rant about the media vilifying illegal drugs while glorifying liquor, which, while true doesn't add much to the actual conversation going on. There could probably be lectures and papers written on the subject, but you want to tackle the issue on a Digg comment board for a story about hangover cures? 'k.
Then you came back and started whining that you got buried. I've had comments buried, everyone has. Maybe no one gets your joke, no one shares your point of view, whatever. Coming back and complaining, then insulting everyone just makes you look like an idiot.
Not only that, but you flat out assumed WHY people were burying you, then argued against THAT. I think people are burying you simply because you made a comment that really has no place here. It's not necessarily a bad comment, it just doesn't fit.
I see you're new here (judging by your profile). I'm not exactly a grizzled veteran, but I can give this advice: ***** chill out and realize that sometimes your comments will be buried. Also, Digg is not the place to analyze the quirks of society.
To answer your question, I drink because I like the taste, it's fun to do, it's a form of relaxation, it's a social experience, and many other reasons you're sure to have heard before... getting drunk is a way to cut loose and feel like you have no responsibilities in the world. All that's left are your friends and a good time.
tl;dr - crowmind, on 04/11/2009, -0/+1Erm I'm a Puertorican and we don't put lemons under our armpits. That's stupid.
- skersh, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Just to clarify, warty, there is no anti-weed sheep patrol. I like weed. I love beer. I often go with both at the same time.
You seriously need to stop taking a bury so personally. - derekmas10, on 04/14/2009, -0/+1I'll drink to that
- matthewf01, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Yes, plenty of sriracha! and a little spoonful of the red chili paste (the one with the seeds in it).
- edcro, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Wine hangovers suck.
- rinote, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1I've found that sacrificing a ram helps me with my hangovers.
- spectecjr, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1My personal cure:
Gatorade - for the electrolytes.
Aspirin/Ibuprofen if the headache won't go away. (This is a stop-gap. Never take paracetamol or acetaminophen - they'll seriously damage your liver if combined with alcohol).
EYEDROPS!!! Most of the headache is actually eye-pain from dehydrated eye - only your brain hasn't really had to learn what eye-pain feels like, so it maps it to your forehead. (With a bit of practice, you'll be able to tell the difference). Eyedrops gets rid of most of this. A warm damp compress held over the eyes also helps, but eyedrops help more.
Source Naturals Hangover Support - replaces neurotransmitters, vitamin B, vitamin C.
Eggs - lots of cholesterol (powers your liver through the job of detoxification), lots of protein & vitamins (replaces lost vitamins and neurotransmitters). Lots of choline and lecithin.
If you have a bad stomach hangover, honey clears it right up because of the fructose. I prefer this in the form of a sweet honey & lemon tea.
Now if you really want hangover cures, I can give you with several that really help with a variety of recreational drugs. I've had a few crashed friends in my time, and they were kind enough to let me experiment. :D - edcro, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Probably salt and electrolytes in the juice. Might help a little.
- edcro, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Exercise is the only hangover cure that actually works.
- JohnnySoftware, on 09/23/2009, -0/+1Nobody will want to drink alcoholic beverages after reading of these cures so in that sense it is preventative medicine.
- Phoenix99, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1pho sho?
- skersh, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1My excuse for drinking: when I go drinking I feel like going out and doing stuff, partying, etc.
When I smoke up, I just want to chill and play video games, watch tv, hang out.
Neither are bad, but usually I wait for weed until the end of the night. They're just different highs. - edcro, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Dehydration is just half of the problem. Depending on what you drink, there are also toxins in the alcohol that contribute to your hangover, such as sulfides in red wine and compounds found even in clear alcohols like vodka. (In general, the clearer the beverage, the easier it is on the noggin.)
Rehydration certainly helps a hangover, but your body has to shed all that other crap to really kill it off. My observation is that exercise really helps with that. - skersh, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1I don't karaoke until I'm hammered. Like you said, to each their own.
- FrogKermit, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1You drink prickly pear juice 5 hours before you start drinking, and stick to light colored beers. Thats how its done.
http://www.spike.com/video/guaranteed-hangover/290 ... - LordRedSnake, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Aldehyde dehydrogenase, it metabolizes aldehydes, which are the neurotoxins involved in hangovers. If you want a real hangover cure, take a sesamin/episesamin supplement (sesame seed extract), which has been shown to increase aldehyde dehydrogenase production by 300%. You still need to address dehydration, but metabolizing all of the excess aldehydes won't be such a problem.
Take a capsule or two before sleep and again in the morning and you'll feel a million times better than you would otherwise. - Nate2020, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Mary Jane helps me a ton.
- fattmarrell, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1I was hungover as ***** yesterday and almost hit a curb while driving to get some pho. Pho with a cold coke (soda) definitely is my cure as well. I make sure to use extra sriracha sauce.
- ruarctb, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Just stay hydrated with water/propel/gatorade and eat a protein rich meal before drinking.
- rpgguy1o1, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1beyond the fact that drinking is terrible for the baby, I can't figure out why that remedy would be bad for a knocked up broad
an eggs seems like it would be fine? - daridave, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Not sure if it was sarcasm, but it actually is true if you ask me. After a hangover, drink a bloody Caesar. It helps. It's got vitamins in it and, while some say it's only for a temporary boost, I really seem to fix myself up with it (although that's not all I take)... anyway, this is what I do: Before going out, take one multi-vit on a full stomach. The next morning, I take another one (prepared it the night before :P), sleep some more, then when I wake up [again], I take that bloody Caesar with some food, usually eggs & bacon. No more wasted Sundays. :)
