I did the Google search. I read about the various concoctions.
I can't imagine putting some of those horrible mixtures into my achy
stomach.
Anyone with a tried and true (and somewhat non-repulsive) recipe?

When I was younger it was chocolate milk/milkshake. That was when I
drank spirits and beer.


Now..... I don't get hangovers :-)


Your best bet is to drink (good quality) red wine :-)

I do not know of any morning-after cures, but if I have over-indulged I find
that taking 2 ibprofin before going to bed prevents the dreaded hangover.

There is no such thing as a "hangover cure"

Hydration will help as will a pain relever - most of the time is it just
time to process the toxins.

See below:

http://www.all-about-hangovers.com/html/biology.html

Dimitri

When you (anyone) consumes too much alcohol several things happen:

Pesky toxins are the culprits responsible for you feeling like a
regurgitated hairball following an innocent night of revelry. So, is it
possible to avoid them? It would be a great strategy, but the fact is, the
exact origin of the toxins is unknown. They may be present in the alcoholic
beverage itself, or get created as a metabolic by-product by the body in
some fashion, or some combination of the two.

In addition to toxins, dehydration also contributes to the symptoms and
physiological events you experience with a hangover. Your kidneys and liver
require water to dilute and process the toxins. When you drink alcohol, your
body actually requires more water than usual in order to perform this
function efficiently. If water and fluids are not readily available to aid
in this detoxification process, the body will redistribute what water is
available. All parts of the body are impacted by this redistribution of
fluid..even the brain. And you wonder why your head hurts!!

Alcohol acts as a diuretic, which means that it increases the release of
urine from the body. As you are drinking alcoholic beverages, your body is
actually losing fluids. By losing more fluids than usual, you are also
losing important vitamins and nutrients. Do we need to mention the
additional fluid and nutrient loss that occurs if you also experience
vomiting? We didn't think so.

The enzyme 'alcohol dehydrogenase' (ADH) is responsible for breaking down
the alcohol in the liver. The tolerance that habitual drinkers build to
alcohol is due to increased levels of ADH. Some research suggests that men
tend to have more of this enzyme than women, and as a result can usually
drink more than women of equal weight. For some reason, peoples of Asian
decent reportedly produce less of the enzyme as well. (All in all, a rather
dubious distinction for the Caucasian male.)

The toxins involved in a hangover:

Ethanol (ethyl alcohol)
Produced naturally during fermentation (the making of alcohol).

By-products of metabolism
When the liver breaks down the alcohol, enzymes produce a by-product called
acetaldehyde. This highly toxic substance enters the system and can make you
feel extremely ill.

Congeners
These are by-products of the alcohol fermentation and distillation process
and are present in the drink itself. The level of congeners help explain why
certain drinks give you a worse hangover than others. Visit our congeners
page to learn more.

An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

In this case, make it an ounce of high quality spirits, not a fifth, bottle,
or a case.

Stay hydrated while you drink -- alternate water and alcohol. This helps
prevent dehydration and counteracts the diuretic effects of the alcohol.

I find that tomato soup or products like Spaghetti-Os that have a tomato
base without too much starch help the morning after.

Also, as much as I love Jack and Coke, it is best to avoid mixing
alcohol and caffiene. They are both diuretics, and dehydrate you even
faster than either one by itself.

A Bloody Mary can work wonders, as well. Drink plenty of fluids throughout
the day, and take some acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help with the aches and
pains.

The majority of a hangover is simply dehydration. Drink as much water
as you can before going to bed and have a glass ready for when you
wake up.

Other than that, simple nutrition is the answer. All your vitamins and
electrolytes were literaly ****ed away in your evening of rampant
bacchanalianism. Try orange juice and a good breakfast. One of those
"complete" vitamins (like Centrum) would help. Greasy cheeseburgers
seem to work for me, but that certainly isn't what a doctor would
recommend.

But mostly it is dehydration, get some water into your system and
start feeling better.

Cure for hangover is not to be stupid enough to get one in first place.
Hangover==bad dehydration. Water yourself thouroughly before after and
during drinking, and presto! no hangover.

Cure for bad wine is harder, however. (don't drink wine that's been left
at room temperature for a month... it really isn't potable.)

Yes! Sub-lingual vitamin B-12.
Twinlabs makes B-12 dots. Stick some under your tongue both before and
after you drink. :-)

Works fast too.

Go to Sun Harvest or GNC to get them, or the twinlabs website.

If you REALLY tied one on, then the only cure is 800 mg. Ibuprofen and
lots of water. <G>

Oh! Good idea. I went to GNC to look for nutritional drink mixes
and all they had, floor to ceiling, was low carb stuff. Was it you
who recommended stuff better than Boost or Ensure? If it was, can
I ask you to tell me again the brands?

Sure! :-)
EAS has a good line, as does Met-Rx and not all of those are Low
Carb.....

With the current popularity of low carb diets, that was probably why
that was all they were stocking! Most GNC's will do special orders for
the higher calorie products.

EAS also has a website for direct mail order.

Thanks! I'm not concerned carb/low carb, I was just overwhelmed by

replacement meal type of stuff.

Orange Juice for its Vit C *plus* Eggs for (some form of, can't
remember) cysteine are proven remedies.

Otherwise, champagne is the first thing that an upset stomach will
tolerate and actually does ameliorate many of the "run over by a truck"
symptoms of a hangover.

Analgesics: APC's (of military fame) were perfect! All ingredients
have now been blacklisted by the pharmies who couldn't make any money
from them, so if the pale substitutes work for you, it is more good luck
than good management.

The only use I've found for ginseng is as a hangover cure.

The product I recommend is this one:

http://www.superiortrading.com/share... eriortrading

I have no commercial interest in the product
or its importer -- my only relationship to them
is as a satisfied customer.

I would say that about 1/3 of the contents
of the jar in the box are about enough for
one hangover. (Ignore the instructions
on the label which suggest a much smaller
dosage.)

If I can remember to do so, it is a big glass of broth or dissolved
bullion cubes. This one hydrates and secondarily the sodium helps your
body retail water. Also, mix in as much water as possible over the
course of the night or as soon as you wakeup, two naproxen with as
much water as you can stand.

Alka seltzer. Followed by Gatorade as you can drink it. Actually if
you take two asprin and drink 10oz Gatorade before bed, you won't
hang.

Once you feel like eating, eat a big juicy cheese burger with fries.
For me it's the Boca vegan original, but it still works.

And remember:
Liquor on wine, feel just fine
Wine after liquor - never been sicker.

You don't need low carb for what you are needing it for!

Anytime... :-)

MRP's (meal replacement powders) have really advanced over the past few
years... While I'd not recommend them as a total diet, one or two shakes
per day can really boost energy levels and nutritional balance...
especially in those compromised.

I'm not impressed with Boost or Ensure! Too high in simple sugars and
not NEARLY high enough in protien!

Lynn, a close friend of mine, has very bad teeth and a LOT of stress!
She's been getting downright emaciated (and anorexic) lately, and is
tired all the time. :-( Not good. She has a 2 year old and a 4 year old
to keep up after, but complains she just has no appetite. <sigh>

I bought her a box of chocolate Met-Rx and told her to drink 1 or 2
packets per day with WHOLE milk as she needed the calories!

The difference in just a couple of days was miraculous!

I need to get her another box. :-)

I didn't drink that much and don't usually. It was a special occasion. The
host served a different wine with each course but I think what got me was
the champagne ... then many glasses of excellent red wine ... then a variety
of schnapps that we just "had" to try because it is a specialty of the town
(he said it helps digestion -- yea right!).

Many thanks for all of your thoughtful advice. I can't get a decent burger
here so I opted for bouillon with a shot of Worcestershire sauce/Tabasco and
then later on some scrambled eggs with bread. Two aspirin, some alka-seltzer
equivalent, vitamins C and B, lots of water.
Still felt queasy and tired until night but I suppose not as bad as I could
have felt.

A shot of tequila or vodka in some OJ with the rest of that would have
helped if you were _that_ bad.

Really. ;-)

Only problem is, if I over indulge to that point, the very thought of
any more booze makes me gag. :-P

Glad you are feeling better. A hot bath and a good nights sleep to sleep
it off.......

Only 2 aspirin? Lightweight. <G>

I can't see the original message, but if you eat a couple of
activated charcoal pills with a calcium/magnisium pill
while you are drinking, you won't get a hangover. Drink lots of
water too.
peace,

Drink a lot of water before you go to sleep.

The alcohol is the drug. I only got seriously drunk once when I was away on vacation
with friends and we did some bar hopping. After I passed out and my buddies carried
me back to our hotel room, I woke up the next morning to find myself with a
selection of furniture piled up on top of me, including a coffee table. I woke up
completely free of any ill effects the next morning, but I needed help getting that
damned furniture off me!
