Hello All!

The discussion of menudo reminded me that many foods are reputed to be
cures for hangovers. I don't believe the reputations much but both
Mexican Menudo soup and Thai Drunken Noodles are supposed be cures.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I might even test them :-)

Sub-lingual vitamin B-12. (Sold by Twinlabs as "B-12 dots").

It helps to also ingest extra B-12 prior to "indulging".

I've not suffered from hangovers in years...

Intravenous fructose is used for people with high alcohol levels in the ER.
It can reduce blood alcohol levels by half in 15 minutes. But I don't know
if the results would be the same from ingested fructose. Tomato juice was
an old bartender's remedy, hence, the Bloody Mary. Some hangover relief
coupled with some hair of the dog.

Huh?? I can't say I've ever seen or heard of IV Fructose and I treat
roaring drunks ALL the time!

I've remembered two more. Prairie Oyster (whole egg yolk in tomato
juice, Tabasco and Worchester Sauce). It's not the same as a Rocky
Mountain Oyster and doesn't work tho' it can produce vomiting just by
looking at it :-) Japanese pickled plums (Umeboshi?) don't work either.
I'm not interested in medical approaches and I'll suffer rather than
trying them:-) To be honest, I've not had a real hangover in many years.

1 part tequila
2 parts half n half
nutmeg
ice

mix

drink

I like wasabi. (On sushi.) Really opens up those blood vessels in
the head.

If I can't get that, I like nachos, with plenty of salsa.

I don't often get hangovers with nausea anymore, but I occasionally
get
headaches from overindulging (and under-hydrating).

I don't know why, but hot and spicy foods are often touted as hangover
cures. Maybe because the peppers make you sweat out the alcohol? I dunno.
Back in the day I used to crave tamales or a bowl of chili accompanied by
saltine crackers. That was a long time ago.

I never cared much for Bloody Mary's. Wasn't a big vodka fan nor a fan of
tomato (or clamato) juice.

We're going to have to do a close study of this.

You need to get shitfaced and *not* take the B-12, and let us know the
results..... then get shitfaced and take the B-12, and then get shitfaced
and take a placebo :-)


That's next week all taken care of :-)

There's a party happening on Monday :-)

I like both, but I sometimes leave out the vodka and make myself a
"Virgin Mary."

BTW - I've never tried clamato juice and don't know whether we can get
it in New Zealand. But from what I've read about it during a google
search it sounds like something I'd like.

But that takes maturity, self-control, and common sense.
All of those are getting more and more rare.

So what? Just because you haven't seen or heard it doesn't mean squadoosh.
I've never seen the Statue of Liberty, but I believe it is there. What kind
of work do you do? (you didn't say in your post)

All sorts of things can be "piggybacked" on IVs.

O2 in hyperbaric conditions is good, too. If'n you have access to a

No, it is still there in the same amount. It's just migrating from those
who don't practice it to who fancy gathering more for themselves, for
whatever neurotic reason.

Not a cure but a relief of symptoms - High doses of capsicum will release
endorphins. This results in a natural "high" In addition the liquid from
the menudo will help hydrated the sufferer.

Already been there, done that. <g>
I know the B-12 makes a difference...

When I used to attend those bi-annual Pagan retreats, I'd take a bottle
of B-12 dots with me and pass them out to others with hangovers in the
morning.

They helped. :-)

I also had Ibuprofen with me to treat the tendonitis I got in my left
arm from drumming around the bonfire for 6 hours or so the night
before...

Yeah, the RAP on Base used to hand out B+ pills to any of the guys with
hangovers.

Taking Vitamin B tablets is also supposed to be good for repelling
mosquitos.

That would be B-2, not B-12.

With mid-eastern dance rhythms, you use the left arm more than the right.

Potatoes, potartos......... :-)

(Intrigued...)

Why the arm difference for different rythyms?

Is it for scaring spirits away, or bringing them in??

Or just as a 'beat' while people dance :-)

I was a commercial diver for six years, and have spent more time in a
decompression chamber than most people have spent underwater scuba diving.
Ours were US Navy surplus. New medicine advances using hyperbaric chambers
have helped a lot of things from gaseous gangrene to MS. Large complexes
are now available at some hospitals with hyperbaric chambers the size of
small rooms. Where they were once rare, they are not common throughout the
land.

Trauma. And often on really drunk folks. No one is using Fructose IV's
in the real world. Some studies years ago don't count as the real world.

The beat is for the dancers. Most of the drum circles are held in the
boondocks. Nobody but them and the drummers get to see what they may (or
may not) be wearing...

Look up rhythms for Dumbeks and Djembes.

I have one of each.

No loss.


I bought some multi-v's for the SO, though. Thought she might need a
'perk' every now and then.


She seems to think I'm an alien :-)


I don't get headaches, and I don't get hangovers.

*Ever*!!

I used to have a trombone and a clarinet.

No drums though...... LOL!!! Even though a lot of my friends have said
that I march to the beat of my own drum!! :-)
