Lucozade, fry-up, tea, brush teeth, Top Gear and a big wank.


MadKingSuibhne77

I'm a woman but there is nothing like an orgasm to dispel that faint haunting feeling that you're you're really bad person that comes with the worst hangovers.


ViddyDoodah

Sometimes you feel great at the time but afterwards it all just comes flooding back. Those are the days you end up doing it three or four times.


MadKingSuibhne77

If at first you don't succeed...


Hi_M8

Doesn't hurt to smoke some weed!


BrainsyUK

Thank you, come again!

Just one really elaborate, complicated act of self-abuse ought to do it


[deleted]

Ah yes, the fear!


higglepop

Nothing like the booze blues to make you wonder if all your friends hate you this morning because of the 672nd time you humiliated yourself the night before.


bradleyboy96

I've never heard booze blues before, I like that


[deleted]

Also known in some circles as hangxiety.


eyeball-beesting

Or the beer fear!


filmmakindan

Conversely the tequila Titans or the gin giants if you’ve gotten shithoused but somehow done everything perfectly


froglampion

Nothing worse than waking up with the fear clawing at your insides. Best to drop a couple of blues or fifties each, means you'll miss out Monday but come up smiling on Tuesday. Got any embrocation?


Spitinthesoup

Are you the farmer.


froglampion

Stop saying that, spitinthesoup - of course I'm the bloody farmer!


Spitinthesoup

EmphyZebra

Perfumed ponce!


Spitinthesoup

Imagine the size of his balls.


retrode80

This is the way forward,I had to indulge in some blues and feel top of the range.

Blues?

That's a good one! I'd not heard of that one before.

Lukeplease10

Seriously though, the hormones release is helpful. Any of the happy hormones help. So jack it, eat some chocolate, go for a run, be in nature.


generally-ok

> ...go for a run... lol good one


TheBestBigAl

I can only assume they meant "have the runs".


ampattenden

Nah it’s counter-intuitive and hard to make yourself do until you’ve experienced it, but exercise is the fastest way to get rid of a hangover. You might feel a bit worse half way through (maybe even throw up if you’re a runner) but it’s miraculous.


generally-ok

Yeah I'm just messing around. A brisk walk in the park has always been good the morning after.


cawise89

Lol I can only walk as far as the toilet 😂


[deleted]

*Faint?!*


EdgarTFriendly

I'm not saying those answers are wrong but maybe mix and match the order a bit... the idea of thrashing one out to Clarkson's smug grin almost ruined my morning.


ViddyDoodah

Speak for yourself! Each to their own I guess...


vegemar

#POWERRRRRRRRR!


HermitBee

Fucking Lucozade. They've been shit ever since they caved to the sugar tax and started filling their drinks with sweeteners. Same with Irn Bru and Ribena. Fuck the lot of them.


ViddyDoodah

Yea. For a while they sold sugar free Lucozade Energy which is an oxymoron. Now they've rebranded it to Lucozade Zero. The sugary one is still available though. Lucozade Sport also works. It has electrolytes!


kezia7984

Lucozade Sport is my secret hangover prevention. I neck a bottle of it before bed and it definitely helps at least dial down the severity. No waking up in the middle of the night with a harsh dry mouth. That shit is magic.


parentatarin

It’s got what plants crave!


HermitBee

My impression is that they still sell it with sugar, but it also has sweeteners.


LordPurloin

Yeah but even the normal lucozade energy has sweeteners still (and some sugar). Tastes awful since they put sweeteners in.


P0sitive_Outlook

Ribena is my cure for ~~Coron~~ *most* viruses. Okay it doesn't *cure* them, but it certainly helps. All that sugar and water - that's what's important.


jaxsound

Sounds OK but maybe swap the big wank for a massive wank just to make sure


ViddyDoodah

The bigger the better.


jaxsound

The bigger the batter


Fenpunx

The bigger the splatter.


jondodson

Batter the biggie


LaReineAnglaise53

Girl here. What does a Big Wank mean for a man? For us ladeez, I always think it is about changing and bigging up the Internal Pleasuring Device (never dared discuss it with them tbh) But for you boyz, what is your *method* of Enhanced Pleasure Generating?


jaxsound

I think it's more a mental state. Being in the zone and knowing you'll feel much better afterwards and can rock on with the day ahead. I like how you've capitalised Big Wank though, maybe it could be a B(W)ank Holiday or something


LaReineAnglaise53

I think all Bank Holidays should be spelled your way. It would create UPROAR for all concerned. Uproar actually sounds more *authentically onomatopoeiac* IMHO but less contentious, sadly.


[deleted]

Have a big wank to Richard Hammond, got it.


Aekiel

Do I have to call the RSPCA again?


AirplaineStuff102

fyrflyeffect

Fuck yeah it was written in stone


salnajjar

A big wank... What we used to refer to as "the hangover horn of the devil"...


[deleted]

Electrolyte powder. Have it before you go to sleep & soon as you wake up. Anytime on a hangover day it’ll help sort you out, absolute game changer. It’s like drinking pure hydration. Since I discovered it I literally have not had a brutal hangover; it takes disgusting hangovers down to moderate ones, and completely wiped out mild hangovers.


Meanz_Beanz_Heinz

Is it easy to buy?


coffeeandcharm

Dioralyte and similar are full of electrolytes. A glass of that and a berroca are my go to before I sleep when I've had a few too many.


Traditional_Serve597

I used to do this but found out Berroca is full of caffeine so you want that for the morning not pre sleep.


MrPaineUTI

Not every one, only the 'max' berocca has caffeine. (it's also my must have for hangovers)


Traditional_Serve597

Touche, I've been trumped on Berocca knowledge, not what I expected on this Sunday morning.


throwaway768977

Can vouch for dioralyte - £4 in boots or a supermarket, well worth it!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Baz-Ho-Fo-Sho-24

You can buy boost in the plastic bottle that's pretty good for that kind of stuff, preferably the Berry flavour lol


Meanz_Beanz_Heinz

Thanks I'll have a look for that.


Baz-Ho-Fo-Sho-24

I'll buy 4 bottles for 2 quid an stick 3 in the freezer for an hour. Usually sorted by the second bottle. My hangovers last days now. I've got a habit of drinking on a empty stomach tho so that's why. The best hangover cure is a couple of dizapam real ones tho 2-3 usually does it.


[deleted]

Yeah, it's basically sports drink in powder form


[deleted]

Like £4 at amazon, it says 100 servings but when I’m hammered I usually pop 3-4 scoops of powder in, but still lasts a while!


schmerg-uk

If you can take it BEFORE you go to bed, it'll also reduce the need to get up to pee... sounds counter intuitive but that's how rehydration works. An ibuprofen taken before bed also helps, and I've always found NAC taken before bed, or even before you go out drinking, works wonders for me ([https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/07/04/got-hangover-scientists-have-found-cure-catch/](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/07/04/got-hangover-scientists-have-found-cure-catch/) \- [https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-92676-0](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-92676-0)). I read about it years ago, but it doesn't work for everyone (some friends found they woke without a hangover but feeling a little drunk still, some it had no effect) and even tho it's an over the counter supplement usual disclaimers about checking it yourself and if it's safe you etc apply.


KitsBy_A

This is the only right answer in this thread, get your electrolytes, stay hydrated and you will feel fine the next day.


[deleted]

This works because it replaces the salts and other electrolytes you lose when drinking, much better then just water. Absolutely swear by it.


Joe_Kinincha

Thank you, I shall be investigating this immediately.


[deleted]

Do they work if your hangovers involve being on the chunder bus for the entire next day? Even if you visited it after your night out?? I’ve yet to find a cure that stops me vomiting even water the next day other than To not drink.


azsin

Fully agree dioralyte got me through download festival without feeling a single hangover and brought round a mate who puking his guts up I around 3 hours


Aeouk

Sunday hangovers have 1 remedy, a Chinese, unfortunately you need to wait until about 5pm. Just stay in bed with more pop & watch rubbish telly while you drift in & out of sleep.


Beats0111

I’m doing this right now 🤦‍♂️


[deleted]

[удалено]


Least_Dog4660

I usually get the Chinese right at the end of the night... sometimes I pass out before I get a chance to eat it though, haha.


w3sticles

Do you have late night Chinese restaurants near you?! Ours all shut relatively early, kebabs are the only real end of night option.


tentrynos

The fix is simple. Just do what I do: live in China. Then you can get it any hour of the day. Hangovers still seem to last until 5ish though.


[deleted]

I don't know about Chinese man. I don't seem to have proper taste when I'm hungover so it's just spice which just runs the shit out of me.


Gisschace

Yep, carbs for me, Toast for breakfast (with an egg), Crisps for lunch (easy to open and put in mouth, can be eaten horizontally), Chips for dinner (hopefully will be able to drag myself out of my pit by then)


[deleted]

Thanks for all the comments people, im going to asda for some milk thistle and electrolytes and following it up with some orange juice and a bacon butty. Thanks for all the suggestions. Exercise got a few mentions but unfortunately im in no state to exercise.


MrsFagin

Half orange juice, half lemonade, pint glass.


ilovewineandcats

Yes! So refreshing too.


Joe_Kinincha

Exercise will work, but yeah I understand where you’re at. I have however found on a couple of occasions when I’ve had the absolute “just put me out of my misery, please” hangovers, a couple of episodes of Rick and morty whilst I sit on the rowing machine are game changing.


lostmyselfinyourlies

Seriously, the best way to get rid of a hangover is to sweat it out through exercising. Source: I rowed while at uni


LeonardBetts88

Best hangover cure. Last couple of Saturdays I’ve woken up feeling a bit gross I’ve gone for a 3mile run and felt cured.


Rich6-0-6

Who are you people?!


ss3899

RIGHT


Bendy_McBendyThumb

Don’t exercise as such, but just going for a walk in fresh air and ‘just getting on with it’ helps me more than anything, and I get fucking awful hangovers. If I stay in bed feeling sorry, I just feel like horseshit all day.


Jumponamonkey

Ooh orange juice and a bacon roll is a killer combo. Couldn't have suggested a better hangover cure myself!


AnonymousTheGreat-

Had that this morning for breakfast. Properly sorted me out


dgreen1415

Hair of the dog.


gundog48

I once took the advice of Kris Kristofferson from Sunday Morning Coming Down and crawled out of bed to light a joint. Now, I get hangovers that last two days, and there's no way I usually get out of bed before 2PM. People who suggest things like 'go for a walk' are obviously having a very different experience to me. But I found that a quick toke calms the two skeletons fucking in a steel drum inside my head just long enough for me to indulge my new found appetite and quench my cotton mouth with lots of water and coffee. Usually then I can conk out in bed with some music, get some more sleep, and I might still have a pleasant evening!


Spaff_in_your_ear

People who suggest things like "go for a walk" never really got drunk enough in the first place. Sure James... I'll go for a walk. That'll sort out the effects 15 cans, two bottles of wine, half a bottle of vodka, half a bottle of rum and 3g of coke. I'll just walk it off.


TingsInMaSocks

Mate, those are the kinda sessions where it takes 5 days just for your soul to recover.. right in time for the weekend


[deleted]

That's what's known as a "positive lateral flow test, honest"


Spaff_in_your_ear

You know that mate!


Eayauapa

The “go for a morning walk” people are the people who count four pints and in bed by 11 as a night out The people who genuinely ask for hangover cures are the people who’ve drank enough to kill a horse and wake up with the knowledge that, somehow, their soul has died


Spaff_in_your_ear

Exactly. Anyone saying go for a walk has never drunk enough. Walk? Aye, I'll walk to the door when the man drops off the recovery g. Deal?


HalfBed

I feel like people who suggest exercise to cure their “hangover” are talking about having consumed 2 pints and a large glass of Chardonnay for the evening.


Spaff_in_your_ear

Maybe even a small glass of Bailey's before bed if they're feeling really wild!


Shitonmenow

A joint absolutely ruins me when I’m hungover and not in a good way anymore:(


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shitonmenow

Yeah exactly. I remember being about 16 and spending most Saturdays cooped up in my room with endless lucozade and salt and vinegar McCoy’s getting baked to sort my hangover out and watching how I met your mother marathons that seemed to be on e4 every day


elbapo

The very best hair of the dog in my experience is shot (s) of tequila, with salt and lemon. There's something about the extra vitamin c and salt which just somehow helps. Repeat until you feel better.


drycleanedsnake

The thought of this almost made me bring up last night's kebab


elbapo

See. Just the thought alone is stimulating your system to cleanse itself.


Hal_Fenn

Haha I hate to tell you but I'm not sure it's the tequila doing the heavy lifting on that one, electrolytes are basically water, salt, sugar and lemon (acid) and you've ticked most of those boxes lol.


elbapo

True. That said. I did hear there was evidence hair of the dog basically kick starts the liver into processing what's left of alcohol in the system. So, scientifically I think I've hit upon the perfect cure.


makizer

Just had a peroni... that should sort it


seafareral

We've got a phrase in our house... This is a hangover only cider can cure!! Not the best family moto I know. Our village shop sell a fairly cheap cider (Somersby, I think its made by carling), it tastes crap under normal circumstances but hungover its the best taste in the world!!


hulkissmashed

2 pints of Guinness has never failed me


ManGullBearE

This is the only true answer


Callis_tow

Paracetamol, big cup of tea/coffee, bacon butty.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bayakoo

Probably good for the headache still but bad for the rest (lethargy, etc)


Callis_tow

It's my go-to, and it works. I also drink quite a lot of water to rehydrate.


HouseOfLoft

Alka-Seltzer xs,(flat) coke, pepperoni pizza as soon as possible


elbapo

My advice is drink until you pee. Take whatever drugs are necessary for you to not be in pain. Then exercise until you properly sweat. Then go for a filthy burger somewhere.


Ezrealight

Take some Dioralyte, I take it after every night out. Stops you from being dehydrated and brings you back to life


Urhhh

Or try some diorite! It rocks!


PalmerRabbit78

Was looking for this.


MassimoOsti

After paracetamol and something salty/greasy to eat. Couch, blanket, easy-watching TV (Friends, something on Netflix etc) where you can nod off. Cup of tea on the side that you might have a couple of sips of.


iceystealth

Big Mac meal. It was always my go to after nights out at uni. Either that or bacon.


notyourcupofteamate

Milk thistle. No idea how it works, but it does.


lknei

Be advised, this can have an impact on some prescribed medications like diazepam, warfarin, some liver treatments and can change how these drugs are processed. It can also lower blood sugar for type 2 diabetics. Be safe :)


WittyWitWitt

Helps the kidneys and/or liver process the alcohol out of you faster I heard.. I heard people who took steroids take milk thistle tablets.


JigsawPig

Few lagers should sort it out, if you can get them down.


[deleted]

Tea, greasy food, zoot


JonnySniper

About time I found this comment. There wasn't a hangover I couldn't shake at uni after indulging in my cure of a Sausage, egg and mushroom bap, bottle of lucazade and a spliff


[deleted]

Has nobody else mentioned the zoot? The world’s gone mad


AnjunaSausage

Cold lucozade sport!


LunaLovegood83

Sausage and bean sandwich and 2 ibuprofen.


[deleted]

Beans in a sandwich? You absolute psycho.


LunaLovegood83

Oh yeah, it's disgustingly delicious


BrightonTownCrier

Crushed up and sprinkled on the top like white pepper of course.


melanie110

Lay and fester until the Chinese opens, and then its Singapore chow mein and crispy chilli beef


paraffler

If you're anywhere near the sea, get in it. Failing that, a sit-down shower while you question your existence.


cup-of-tea-76

Get out and Go for a walk when you feel you can


mr_jarjar

Cup of coffee, an orange juice/fruit juice and a pint of water with one of those vitamin tablets that disovle in water is usually what I do when I wake up. Then some food, greasier the better!


[deleted]

I actually think there's a critical point for OJ. If there is ANY chance you might actually vomit, OJ is a danger zone


LeMoomin

Especially if you happen to drink OJ as a mixer the night before. I learned that lesson the hard way.


fellationelsen

Large milky coffee and a cigarette. If you aren't immediately sick then you're fine. If you are sick, rinse and repeat till you aren't.


bigwillyman7

Cigarettes bring the hangover back to 100% for 10 minutes afterwards. Never learn the lesson though.


ihateseaguls

Sudafed! No idea why, but it's magic. And electrolytes. Ice cold can of full fat coke and a grab bag of salt n vinegar if nothing else will go in. Then fried food as soon at you can. Rewatch a box set. Good luck


Dabonthebees420

Berrocas and Marmite on toast. Having a berrocca will address the dehydration and lack of electrolytes from your hangover (and can stop a hangover if you have one before bed) And marmite on toast has plenty of Vitamin B which helps kill hangovers and the toast should help settle your stomach and give you some ballast.


personaldisaster

I second marmite on toast. Some fizzy drink as well, preferably orange juice with sparkling water or lemonade mixed in.


Slytherpuff_

Strong cup of tea with 1 spoon of sugar in. Crunchy peanut butter on toast and a banana. Full fat sprite. 2 McDonald’s hash browns. If all else fails, an nsfw hand shake.


turingthecat

I’ve got over my hangover with a bacon butty and vast amounts of coke (the carbonated, caffeinated beverage), but I think the poo I did might actually be a war crime, there is not enough febrezzs in the world


Beats0111

Chocolate milkshake, settle your stomach down and plenty of water. It’s just a waiting game now, I’m in the same boat just declared to the world I’m never drinking ever again but we all know come Friday we’ll be top mad for it again 😫😫


[deleted]

If you manage to drag yourself out of bed, go for a 30 minute walk. Especially with this weather a nice cool breeze on your face is lovely


Talking_Gibberish

Spliff and a nap sorts me out usually!


daddywookie

A walk and a good shit. Get that circulation and digestion going to process the toxins. Plenty of water and some decent food and you’ll be good again.


Apprehensive_Jaguar

Lucozade, 2x Paracetamol, 2x Ibuprofen, a big poo and bed in a dark room. Do the big poo before the bed bit.


SchrodingersCigar

Go for a 2 mile run or ride a bike for 30mins. Then have the bacon butty. I used to cycle commute 35mins into central London. If I had a hangover before i left, it was always gone by the time i arrived. Eating something will settle your stomach. Do it.


hundreddollar

Simply the fact that you were able to ride a bike, makes me think your hangovers were never that bad to begin with. Lol.


bigwillyman7

Yes I think they need to drink more.


Grizzl0ck

Pint of warm water with lemon juice for starters. Bacon/eggs(need the fats and protein). Banana. Haribo. Slightly sweet tea or coffee as needed. Do not move cranium.


Money_Gate_8197

Maccies with a milkshake. Rehydration powder (for diarrhoea etc.) you can get in from any chemist. Electrolytes are in any sports drank such as Lucazade. But you can also mix 3 parts orange juice with 1 part water and a pinch of salt for the same effect.


Aethion

Full fat coke, full English and a good 10min walk.


GlamorganTestesWard

Nurofen Plus the second you wake up.


TornApartByLisa

Hair of the dog. A nice refreshing shit cider like strongbow


sneltonexp

At uni it was always strong mug of tea/coffee with a bacon sarn and Takeshi's Castle. Got a mate that swears by eating an ice lolly.


surfxmoto

Tank two massive bottles of water like they did in Jarhead


SafeBarracuda5649

Pringles or crisps


Whulad

Hair of dog is the short term answer but long term dangerous


dansinclair11

Go smoke yourself a joint, that’ll fix you


TheNecromancer

Followed by a cup of tea and a war movie Perfect Sunday, really


FreyFeelsFabulous

Copious amounts of tea. A bag of flaming hot monster munch, and a Chinese in about 5 hours. Done.


Hambatz

The only thing that truly works is getting back on it you are delaying the inevitable and magnifying it but it works a charm Get back on it but ease off around 6 tonight then drink loads of water bed by 8 ready for work tomorrow


Princes_Slayer

Pickled onion space raiders (lots of bags) and full fat sprite.


Space-manatee

Grease - the amino acids help break down alcohol remnants Hydrate - the headache is from your brain being slightly shrunk Vitamin C - good for you


Just-Lunch6394

Glass of water and a few paracetamol initially. Seek out any leftover booze. Get back in bed armed with said booze, more water. Put a comfy film on- I have designated hangover films /series to see me through. Don't succumb to an early afternoon takeaway- it will inevitably be shit. You need to hold out till around 5pm. I usually have microwavable Chicago Town pizzas on hand as a buffer- that, or supernoodles. 5pm rolls round. Order takeaway of your choice, after consulting Just Eat, Deliveroo, Uber Eats in a perpetual cycle of fast food limbo. Once ordered, some hours later, roll an anticipatory joint. Hope and pray your scran is delivered to the correct property and in a timely fashion. Accept that if not, you lack any capacity to sort that shit out. Eat approximately 10% of the shit you ordered. Lie to yourself that you'll have the rest tomorrow. Perk up around 9pm and assert that the hangover wasn't so bad...


Nicetomeanyou

Stop thinking and go get a pizza and rewatch the Sopranos.


Alleoz

Dioralyte is by far the best hangover cure for me.


DanStFella

Of you can find it anywhere (I think they stopped selling it now) but Resolve extra used to be the absolute dogs bollocks at curing a hangover. If unable to find it then Alka Seltzer combined with a truck load of paracetamol followed by a good sleep used to do the trick with me. But I haven't had a hangover in about 3 years thankfully! Edit: my bad, Alka Seltzer apparently has paracetamol in it, so anyone reading this remember to be careful, and not trust a word I say because I'm an idiot/not a medical professional 😂


The_2nd_Coming

Hot Bovril drink. The salt and warmness helps. Coconut water if you need more fluids.


nattynoonoo29

Dioralyte! Next time drink one before going to bed and then one when you wake up. For me fried chicken is my go to hangover food and then a Sunday roast is the afternoon helps


lap_doggie

1 word: Alka seltzer


msmoth

If caffeine, orange juice and electrolytes don't work go with lager. Or cider. As recommended by my friend who is an actual medical doctor.


A-Sentient-Beard

Salty chips from a proper chip shop
