Ever partied so hard and had so much booze that you simply couldnt get out of bed the next day? Doesnt help that your friends just keep topping up your glass and the next moment you know you can hardly walk in a straight line and your head just keeps spinning... all so familiar especially after a crazy night out!so whats the best remedy for that after-effect we call hangover? some say a cup of hot ginger tea with lemon zest does the trick, some believe popping an aspirin will curb the headache whilst another school of thought suggests taking only honey water the entire morning..so what's your say on this?

Okay, i really hope that you are up to this. Get yourself a bucket and some toothpaste first. Better yet, go and sit in front of your toilet. When you wake up with a hangover, the first thing you do, is drink exactly what you had drunk the previous night. Only one glass or one bottle of it. OR Go and buy yourself the biggest bottle of tomatoe juice, you can lay your hands on. Nothing works faster than that. Better yet, BEFORE, you go out to party with your friends and you know that all of you are going to drink a lot, buy a tin of saridines. Eat all of it and drink the oil as well, that will prevent the worst hangovers ever. But, if i really go on my knees and ask you very pretty please, would you consider drinking just a bit less. It will make you feel better. TA TA

I used to say a big glass of chocolate milk would cure any hangover. However, I think I have found something better. Advocare makes a product called Spark. It is a flavored powder that you mix with water and drink either hot or cold, whichever you prefer. A Spark will take away a hangover super fast and will leave you feeling better than ever. Plus, it is sugar free and full of vitamins so it is better for you than the chocolate milk.

God, having a monster hangover is the absoulte worst thing ever. All you want to do is curl up into a ball and pass out until the suffering comes to an end. Sorry I can't offer any cures luckymichelle, all I can reccomend is to tough it out and think positively about a hangover-free future.

Personally when i have a hangover i like to just go sit outside for a bit. Get some toast down you, thats seems to help me. Also drinking plenty of water before going to bed apparently works but i'm yet to try that one, i already go to the toilet enough as it is :P

I don't know exactly what's the best cure for the after-effect we call hangover, but i know something of a before-effect. I was having a drink with some friends when a friend of a friend who was an army, told us that if you know that you are going to have a long night of drinking, it is recommended to drink lots of water. I haven't tried that though because i only drink moderately. Well, i don't have anything to back up that claim but trying it would not hurt no one.

i would recommend just getting Alka-Seltzer. Pour into a glass of water and drink. i have been using that for years and it really works.

I always figured that whatever would stay down was a good plan. You do want to get some food in you, hash browns and chocolate milk used to work for me (not mixed..lol) and you want to get hydrated so drink lots of fluids. And next time..watch that glass....even well meaning friends can be pushy sometimes in that party spirit. I have even dumped drinks when no one was looking cause I just did not need anymore or want it. Best wishes to you!
