SRL Archive - The Bashing Club / BBQ Pit

Alright so last night was my highschool's homecoming. Of course I didn't go that that bullshit dance because our school is gay and turns the lights on during the dance, I went to the after parties. Also keep in mind I graduated last year and know a lot of people that still go there.

This thread is basically to talk about everything from placebos to home remedies to professional cures for that horrible feeling you get from the time alcohol makes you feel terrible util it stops.

I must of had 21 shots worth of liquor between jello shots, rum, tequila, dirt cheap vodka, and some other random strong shit. 5-6 beers aswell. I was feeling awesome for the first couple of hours, as soon as like 3am came around I started remember waking up and puking for the next few hours, twas hell. This morning I woke up feeling almost as bad, surprisingly its just my stomach feeling like garbage and relatively no headache.

It's now 4pm here and I have stuff I need to do today before college and stuff tomorrow as well as papers due on the online thingy tonight.

Does anyone have any advice on how to help make this all go away?

Aspirin and as much water as you can drink.

The hangover feeling is basically dehydration.

Very true runaway. Don't forget though not only did you loose water you also lost sodium. Eating some greasy/salty food helps along with the water.

I've had little success :(
People said try warm milk – didn't help me
People said drink water – if you don't do this you're toast
People said eat eggs – I did, sort of helped but not anywhere near what you'd expect (or want)
People said drink more – Bad idea :-(
People say drink things like gatorade – May help, but no noticeable difference for me at all

For me it's just a horrible waiting game. I'm irritable the next day and stay shitty the entire day. It sucks, but then again I'm less tolerant to alcohol than you probably ;)

Yea the water is a given, but asprin? Do you really help it if your head feels fine?

My tolerance isn't like super awesome, but it's above average, it takes a lot of me to get drunk then not much more for me to cross a thin of line of feeling awesome and feeling just absolutely horrible.

I've been eating saltine crackers lol.

The best way is not to cure one, but to avoid one.
Drinks with low alcohol quantities can balance out the shots easily. By these I mean vodka & mixer, beer, cider, anything that is a long drink or larger.

Doin too many shots makes it biologically impossible to NOT have a hungover, because there's just not enough water in the body. Meaning that a good thing to do is to also drink some water (or fluids) before drinking. Say drink a small bottle of water before leaving to hit a bar; Drink a few shots to kick the night off. And only go pee after an hour or so has passed. I find that a shot properly kicks me after half an hour, so by waiting an hour you make sure your body uses the bottle of water you had drunk at home.

Start the day with a cold beer, and some water.

Smoking (tobacco) when I'm crossing that thin line of being really well drunk and puking, usually makes the puke kick in. I have no clue why (biologically).

And from most people's experience, smoking up after drinking makes you more likely to puke. I personally don't suffer from that, so… dunno.

My cure involves the night before:

Drink 26+ oz. of water, and have two advil's. I wake up with little to nothing. Just drink loads of water in the morning, and take a nap. It usually does the trick.

If you're serious about curing a hangover and willing to spend $10 get a pedialyte from any pharmacy pretty much.

I swear by this stuff. I've only used it a couple of times in extreme cases where I needed to get rid of my hangover. It's costly, but it will do the trick better than anything I have ever tried. Keep in mind there is no "cure" though. Maybe try drinking some of this before you go to bed and polish off your 1L in the morning. Love this stuff. For minor hangovers G2's and a nap usually do the trick.

Next time you go drinking drink Pickled Pear juice before. Now you may be like "Dudz wtf thiz guy be craz", but I remember watching an episode of "Manswers" and it said that drinking pickled pear juice a few hours before drinking will make it so the next morning you don't feel bad at all.

Note: My memory isn't great so if you try it and it doesn't work don't sue me, just let me know in a nice humane way that it doesn't work :D

Fats are good too. No eggs. Bacon sandwich. And drink water.

Holding your pee in won't do anything to keep you hydrated. If you could control your kidneys then you might be on to something (of course your nitrogenous wastes would build up in your blood, but hey).
The kidney as no idea how full the bladder is, and will filter out as much water as it wants. This is why there have been incidents of peoples' bladders rupturing when they hold their urine too long. The kidney just keeps pumping it full of liquid.

Think the best option is to make sure you drink more volumeous drinks or whatever (IE, not just drinking shots, but mixed drinks and weaker stuff) and right before you goto bed drink some sort of drink with lots of electrolytes. So potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium. Or in other words, eat a banana or two and like 2 cups of water.

The hard part would be getting that done while your pissed drunk ^_^

You know when you really have to pee but don't and then you just stop feeling it? Isn't that because the water has been re-sent to your body and needs to be filtered all over again? It's horrible for the kidneys cus they end up doing double work but..

That would Definitely be a negative there RM. The bladder is a one way ticket out. All kinds of bacteria and what not go there the body won't send all that back into the bloodstream.

The best way to not get a hangover is to not drink at all (captain obvious). Otherwise my teachers told me to drink water. Last month a friend of mine died at a party… She drowned in her own vomit from too much drinking :|.

But I know its really tough if your at a party and your having a good time. So I guess you gotta trade the good time with the hangover consequences.

2 years not drinking more than 1 beer. It's hard to keep drinking when all the people you drink with are dead. :(

Many professional athletes use pedialyte before and after games to keep themselves hydrated.

I usually will just drink lots of water + eat something light and take that hangover nap (man those are the best!).

nope, once it's in the bladder, it either leaves the body, or you go to the hospital almost dead because your bladder ruptured.
There are 2 sphincters that retain urine, and I was told that the urge to pee is when the first one opens and lets the urine press on the second one. The feeling when you hold it and don't have to anymore is when the first one closes again.
And there isn't much bacteria in the kidneys…(remember people always saying urine is sterile?) that is because of the nitrogenous wastes in it, such as ammonia, urea, urine, and uric acid. Those are the toxins that would kill you if they were in your blood (which is why the kidneys took them out in the first place).

Hmmm knew it was something couldn't remember what. Thanks for the clarification Brain.

Hydrate well before and after drinking.

get a NICE rly cold shower and/or get drunk again or you could smoke some weed

Best prevention of hang over is drinking a lot of Gatorade before you pass out from your drunken binge, since all a hangover is.. is your body and your brain being dehydrated.

Now for a cure… I find a glass of orange juice (has to be real juice not "real natural flavors juice", and a couple of aspirins.

Didn't look over other peoples posts but I can assure you as a BP champ that my advice is legit.

I drink a lot… (in a fraternity and college) I keep a case of water by my bed and i'll wake up throughout the night and just down a bottle and pass back out. I usually finish like 3 throughout the night and one in the morning. Shower is always good just to freshen you up and makes you feel better in a mental scene.

Happy Partying :) Come to Pennsylvania, USA and ill show you to a good time :p

Edit: Gatorade is eh. Has lots of sodium mix with water if you drink. k bye. lol

or just start drinking again. :p
