DrunkGAF, How to survive a hangover

Status
Not open for further replies.
GAf I made a series of bad choices yesterday.

My best friend was bartender in one of Brussels hottest clubs last night.
Got us in for free and free booze.
You can get where this story goes.

Now I'm at my student job, tedious office crap, with 1 hour sleep and a hangover.
I'll be here for the coming 12 hours.
Took an asperine, bad idea, haven't eaten.

Do you guys have any tips for this stupid stupid man?
My friend tells me cocaine helps
But srs drink a fuk ton of H20
 
Water and gatorade, if your stomach hurts something with ginger in it. Never understood why people drink coffee for a hangover...
 
Eggs. Preferably scrambled eggs with milk, pepper, salt and some unions. Use ketchup and/or mayonaise if you like that.

I'd suggest eating some greasy food 4-5 hours after that meal. Your body will be craving for it.
 
I can recommend taking anti-histamines before starting drinking, or at latest when you go to bed. Alcoholic beverages, especially beer and wine, contain histamines. Taking an anti-histamine reduces hangovers. Combine that with drinking water on the side, and an extra glass or two before going to bed, adding some salt along the way if you can. I don't normally get shitfaced, but I did this the last time I did, I couldn't really feel that the next day, besides being a bit spent.
 
Eat a few Rollmöpse!

This is why you have water in between each alcoholic beverage. Keep those hydration levels up.

Sure some bartenders look at you funny ordering water at the bar, but sod them.
 
have you got like a bobblehead or something to distract you while the hangover passes?

edit - dammit jesu
 
I agree with the "diner" breakfast. Eggs, toast and meat would be helpful. Dilute the gatorade with some water and ice. Whatever you do drink a lot of fluids; You're dehydrated. Ibuprofen is better than aspirin in this case.
 
solidarity man! i fucking drank tequila last night what a mistake

No. You're literally fucked. There's no way I could do this personally. I can barely handle being at home doing absolutely nothing while on a hangover and no sleep. At a job for 12 hours? Haha. Water is good but it won't save you. I tend to get re-drunk if I drink a lot of water on a bad hangover.
 
If its that serious:

Other than that, it all depends on the hangover. Sometimes a huge greasy breakfast helps me, other times I can't stomach anything but water.

At the end of the day, while people will tell you to take aspirin or whatever, the biggest cause for a hangover is dehydration. While meds might ease some aches and pains, chugging water will cure the overall sickness much faster and effectively.
 
Gatorade/electrolytes are a great go to. Some green tea/water- hydrate! If you live near a good Vietnamese/Thai place, I find a spicy bowl of pho + their iced coffee to be a great way to clear your sinuses, head, and give you a caffeine buzz, ready for an exam. Clean, light, satisfying meal that won't leave your already addled body feeling bogged down. Just something I found that always worked for me.

My little dancing groot always cheers me up when I'm hungover

I hope you stopped drinking well before you went to sleep (or didn't drive). You're still going to be intoxicated with only an hour downtime.
