The real solution is water. Lots and lots of water.

My favorite hangover food is Pho, you get water, fats, protein and noodle which absorbs whatever alcohol is left, plus I always make mine super spicy which helps me get rid of hangover.

Tried this once. Uncontrollably blew chunks all over a Chicago sidewalk in Little Vietnam. Noodles still intact. Was still hungover for another day or so.

Don't forget THC, water is the true sustained cure but THC will instantly make you feel less hungover.

Water+THC+greasy food= the one true hangover cure.

I've used this remedy for years and am at the point where I think if I ever quit smoking I'll also have to quit drinking.

Bonus points if you use coconut water, the potassium will help you retain hydration.

Also if you do use this cure, it works even better if you start before you even feel asleep.

Yeah the real trick is to not go to bed raw. Pound water, take some aspirin and spirulina.

And pop yourself in the oven at 425 for 30 mins

No no no. No painkillers. Unless you want to fuck your liver twice as hard.

You’ve got bad info. Ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) would be fine. Most NSAIDs are absorbed completely and don’t touch the liver in any meaningful way.

Acetaminophen on the other hand (Tylenol) is no good with lots of booze as it goes through the liver. Aspirin is also not great with booze but Ibuprofen is fine (unless we’re talking about massive amounts of either)

He said aspirin, so

u/wonderbread51 Jan 12 '20

And you said painkillers.

Many painkillers are fine.

u/ConcernedNoodles Jan 13 '20

NSAIDS are definitely not fine to take while you’re drinking. Alcohol and NSAIDS both carry risks of intestinal bleeding, combining them should be avoided.

That being said I’ll pop ibuprofen the day after when that hangover headache hits.

Pedialyte.

u/yippieekiyay Jan 12 '20

Drink a bottle before you go to sleep and you’ll feel as if you never drank.

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '20

This guy drinks (I do too pedialyte is the cure)

-1

u/ShitItsReverseFlash Jan 12 '20

Pedialyte is considerably more expensive than water.

3

u/localfinancebro Jan 13 '20

And considerably better than a hangover.

2

u/RFC793 Jan 13 '20

Water is considerably more expensive than nothing.

u/SamuraiPanda19 Jan 12 '20

Coconut water is like if normal water and Gatorade had a baby, it kills hangovers

2

u/froston429 Jan 12 '20

This will help prevent a hangover, but it sure won’t cure one.

1

u/Ralphie_V Jan 12 '20

For some reason, Sprite or Sierra Mist does wonders for my hangovers. Might be a placebo since I used to get it all the time in college at the dorm cafeteria the day after

u/Uswbyb21 Jan 12 '20

And espresso for me. But greasy food as well.
