This might sound strange, but i swear by a banana and a glass of pure orange juice. Works every time for me!

Re: Whats the best cure for a hangover?
Don't have Coke - the acid in it is not very good for your stomach. Lucozade, Irn Bru or bog standard lemonade are much better drinks. Avoid coffee (it dehydrates you further). Food is a good second stage - a big fryup gives calories and your stomach something to concentrate on. Have plenty of water afterwards, then go for a walk to get the blood circulating around your limbs again. By lunchtime you'll be ready for another drink.

Re: Whats the best cure for a hangover?

I second Fernet branca, tastes like old motor oil, if you can keep it down after initially drinking it, it works wonders

Re: Whats the best cure for a hangover?
if im actually able to i drink 2 pints of water before i go to sleep. always seems to limit the hangover to a couple of hours rather than, say, an entire day.

to kill the hangover, a bottle of irn bru, some sort of fry up (if you can stomach it) and -slightly cruder- a big poo and some sex (again if you can manage it!)

Re: Whats the best cure for a hangover?
Pint of water and a brufen, quick 2-3mile run, hot shower, more water.

Guaranteed to sort you out.





But you may barf on the run.

Re: Whats the best cure for a hangover?
Enjoy it you paid for it.

Otherwise lots of fluids. I usually drink Iso-star Orange. Full of vitamins etc. Good thing about orange is it tastes the same coming up as going down (if you should hurl). Toast to dry up the alcohol.
