Anti Hangover drinks (1 Viewer)

[ron]

So, have a mate who suffers from ferocious hangovers (the day afte the night before, he mightn't get out of the bed till after 6). We've a night organised down the country two days before he leaves these shores for Canada.

Anything he can take before a nights drinking that will have him in decent shape the morning after?
Cheers

i'm going to third that less booze suggestion

he's probably wheat intolerant or something like that, which would require drinking cider instead, or bacardi and coke if he's a girl.

Up to a certain point spirits (any spirit, doesn't matter) give me less of a hangover than beer. After that point, well, it's kinda immaterial

diarolite and solpadeine before sleep

I'd usually take the Diurolite just after getting up. Ultimately, although other things can alleviate a hangover somewhat, I find that sleep/time is the only cure.

Drink less? Fat chance I'm afraid...
Do any of those anti-hangover drinks, soluble powders or tablets work at all?

 

[Scientician 0.8]

The powder works to an extent as it reintroduces electrolytes and helps rehydrate you, which is the main issue with being hungover but most of those tablets that you take while drinking are a load of bollocks. One of them says take on after each drink up to a maximum of three drinks.

diarolite before sleep and solpadeine immediately after you wake up

Fixed that for you

Reason is, the caffeine content in Solpodeine could prevent a restful sleep. Popping a couple of paracetamol (sans Caffeine) would suffice.

if youve drank enough for a hangover, youre drunk enough to sleep. and besides, drunk sleep isnt proper sleep, its like a coma. thats also why hangovers suck, body hasnt had enough proper REM dreaming non-coma normy sleep

Exactly my point. Caffeine ain't going to help matters at all.

If you consume caffeine regularly then solpadeine wont keep you awake - you become immune to that effect of caffeine within about a week apparently

Thats bollox

I drink espresso every day & if I had a solpodine now I'd be awake half the night.

I've tried the solpodene before bedtime while hammared - big mistake every time - nothing worse than being wide awake while getting your hangover.

Just drink as much water as you can before bed (with a non caffeinated painkiller) & possibly alternate water with the boose - that helps me in anyways

youre not supposed to be taking it for the caffeine (which will not keep you awake if youre drunk enough to get a hangover) but for the lovely lovely codeine that kicks the tits out of paracetamol
