What do you take when you have a hangover?

[odeon]

If I don't smoke, I never get hangovers.

Greasy / salty food usually helps...I hate losing the next day though if I get a really bad one. Rarely happens.

Years ago, when I would have big nights out with one of my partners, the cure all was a toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwich with some fried calamari on the side...and DVD's in the loungeroom horizontal where ever possible.

Interesting...I have heard that smokers tend to smoke more when they drink, which can make the hangover more painful. Ouch...

I used to smoke a lot while drinking. I don't think my hangovers were worse but my throat was often sore.

Have toast and drink milk  or just not get out of bed

Seriously?  I thought hung-over stomachs couldn't handle food like that...

Ibuprofen & mashed potatoes.

Older woman I knew swore by the mashed potatoes, she owned a bar for over 25 years.

Seems to work.

I guess a bar owner would know! 

Similarly, my sister (who doesn't drink at all) swears by animal crackers for digestive upsets. I guess it's the same idea---bland starches.

You must have a cast-iron stomach then! So do I...the last time I was actually sick to my stomach was in 1991, my first and only---you guessed it---hangover.

Drink more and you'll forget about the hangover.

Now there's a good sustainable coping method for ya!

There were a couple or three occasions in my misspent youth when I found myself unable to return home for the night, and therefore ended up sharing breakfast with my impromptu hosts. One time it was canned tuna and spring onion with mayonnaise on toast and a lot of instant coffee, and the other times there were full fry-ups, English-style, with egg, bacon, grilled tomato, the lot. Also hot tea with very much milk in it. Damned if it didn't do the trick! A quick shower and another thousand-or-so cups of tea, and we were ready to hit the tiles all over again.

Sounds delicious! Who knew a hangover could make one hungry?
