Simon Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 C'mon there's got to be 50 other recipes in that book that are much more effective hangover cures. My personal favorite is a ginormous 54oz Seagram's and Vanilla Coke. Merry Christmas you crotchety old fart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I no longer get hangovers Me neither. I always found the best cure for a hangover was to start drinking again. Or sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Time, water, sleep are the only real hangover cures ... as it relates to hangovers an once of prevention is truly worth far more than any cures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammyboy Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Gatorade- to replace fluids and electrlytes Pepcid AC- to help the reflux Aspirin- to ease the pain Still doesn't really help all that much. Nothing but time will really do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 12 oz of water after you are done drinking, 12 oz of water before bed. You'll wake up foggy, but you'll be ok. If you're still hurting, you drank too much and there's no cure for your stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 There is really only one hangover cure for the ultra serious hangover when even starting to drink again doesn't work. After a night of heroic drinking in Boston I had the worst hangover I ever experienced, and I drink a LOT, and rarely get them. This was brutal. I tried water, bloody marys, beer, eating, aspirin, hot and cold showers, nothing worked. After three bars trying to rid myself of the hangover to no avail I saw an authentic Irish pub and convinced my friends to try the fourth. I thought I was gonna die. I sat at the bar -- this now about 1 pm -- and the Irish bartender asked me what I wanted. I said I didn't know, and told him my tale of woe. He says, "I know what you want" and went in the back room. He came back a couple minutes later, handed me a drink. I took one large sip and felt much better. Within about three minutes after finishing the drink I felt awesome. It was instant. And then proceeded to drink for the next 12 hours straight. Apparently, it doesn't work unless the directions are followed precisely, and I can atest to that fact, as I have tried to have others make it but they didn't do it right. I have tried to do it myself, but it only worked when all the ingredients were there and it was made precisely, but as he explained it, the elixer of the Gods, called a "Hot Whiskey" is as follows: 1] You need a glass coffee mug, like the kind Irish Coffees are usually served in. 2] You need to seriously preheat the glass cup, like using the scalding water from an espresso machine. For some reason this is essential. 3] You put two shots of Irish Whiskey into the glass, we used Jameson. 4] Add a large teaspoon of brown sugar (white is not brown) 5] A lemon squeeze (squeezing the juice not a twist) 6] Three cloves 7] and add scalding hot water to the mix to the top. 8] Stir and drink. Tastes great. Hangover instantly gone -- not only removed but you can't wait to have another Hot Whiskey and then start drinking whatever you like. It's without question, the single best drink I have ever had, because I felt so fabulous after one big gulp, and tremendous after the one drink.

stevestojan Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Pickle juice is often the cause of my hangover as the owner of my local pub often buys us a round of "Jameson Pickles". Not complicated. A shot of Jameson followed by a shot of pickle juice. Delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NyQuil Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 So one of my friends that went with me to the game yesterday is complaining about still having a hangover this morning and I thought of another thought to add to this thread. I tried the "hair of the dog" trick a few times in college and it did cure my hangover. However the next morning the hangover would be 10x worse than the original one.

Chef Jim Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) So one of my friends that went with me to the game yesterday is complaining about still having a hangover this morning and I thought of another thought to add to this thread. I tried the "hair of the dog" trick a few times in college and it did cure my hangover. However the next morning the hangover would be 10x worse than the original one. Hair of the dog is not supposed to turn into another daylong binge. It's to get rid of the headache and nausea. So a couple/three is the cure not 10 more hours of drinking.
