Ibuprofen and pint of water.

He's pregnant.

[beerlaodrinker]

Berroca before you hit the scratcher, if you remember.

Great ice fishin too, eh Margie?

Don't know only went there in the summer

[Norton]

which they don't sell here

They sure do. Always have a handy supply on hand purchased from my local pharmacy. Prepackaged version of pseudo's cure all. Take it before you pass out for the night along with

drinking a pint of water before you sleep works well.

Keep taking your placebos, although they won't work once you've read this.

The more you drink, the greater the chance you will get a hangover – and there is no way to prevent it, scientists have said. Researchers said that even drinking water and eating directly after drinking does not significantly reduce people's hangovers.

The scientists surveyed the drinking habits of 789 Canadian students who were asked about the number of drinks they had, the time period they were consumed in and the severity of their hangovers. They presented their findings at the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology conference in Amsterdam.

Lead author Joris Verster, from the Utrecht University said: "We have been working with Canadian and Dutch students on this issue. In general, we found a pretty straight relationship; the more you drink, the more likely you are to get a hangover. The majority of those who in fact reported never having a hangover tended to drink less, perhaps less than they themselves thought would lead to a hangover."

Their findings showed that four fifths of people who claimed not to have hangovers had an estimated blood alcohol level of less than 0.10% - around twice the safe driving limits of 0.05% in many European countries.

Following this, the team looked at whether eating and drinking water after drinking alcohol means people are less likely to get hangovers. They asked 826 Dutch students whether they had food or water after their last heavy drinking session. Over 50% said they had. After rating their hangovers, scientists found no major difference in hangover severity between the two groups.

Is there any way to avoid hangovers? No, scientists say

Of course there is.

Drink sensibly. It's not rocket mechanics...

I always forget and take 2 in the morning.
None of this drinking water or eating b4 shit.

The more you eat, the better you'll feel the next day. The downside is that you'll end up looking like a space hopper.

Huh? You commented on my post you fucking idiot.

Who paid for this astonishing study and were they overwhelmed by the summary conclusions?

so, what was the outcome?

Right so the outcome was nothing that traumatic aside from tiredness. I went with simply a teaspoon of baking soda in a pint of water, woke up at 6.30, and aside from feeling knackered from lack of sleep, I had no adverse affects at all. I then decided to spend the rest of the week trying to see if there was a difference in performance between baking soda and baking powder. There is. Baking powder does not work as well. The only difference between the two is that the powder is only baking soda but also contains an acidic agent to activate the soda. I don't know how or why it works to combat hang overs but by cripes it does.

Perhaps this is the precursor to more detailed research to find out if drinking a bottle of vodka gives you as bad a hangover as drinking the equivalent in beer, vodka, whisky, tequila, sambuca and gin.

Off-topic slightly, but baking soda alkalizes the stomach and blood. It can also be used to combat (and get rid of) Uric acid and gout. (It's in the health thread on here somewhere).
It's a natural cleaning / anti-fungal agent, and has numerous health benefits. Costs next to nowt as well.

Should I take my time with this or do them all at once?

Oh there is nothing to stop you trying a little research on your own.

[Boon Mee]

Brown booze will always trump clear (aside from Moonshine) in terms of severity of hangover.
