Having spent most of today suffering from the effects of drinking more alchohol than doctors would recommend you drink in a month let alone one night, what are your cures for a hangover? They dont normally affect me much, but today was a right cracker, i tell you!

So - is it drink plenty of vitiman c? Drink a pint of water before you go to bed? Get a fry up in you? Pain killers? Or simply, don't drink as much the night before ya fool!?! You're 25 and should know better!

I saw a thing in tesco claiming to be a hangover cure - it was basically a really sugary drink. Do they work?

[Blackie]

ahh, poor sole. I say chips, cheese and gravy!! Only messing. If you have the day free from work etc I find the hair of the dog works best. Have a couple more, but slowly and spaced out over the day. Numbs the pain a bit and lets you get through the day. That pair cider worked a treat for me.

[kendra k]

it's vitamin b you need to cure a hangover, not vitamin c. lots of riboflavin.

More drink. Failing that, the greasiest fry-up you can muster.

Top Marks. I used to go out with this girl and after a hard night (VAT 19 Rum & coke) her dad ALWAYS had a dirty big fry and for some reason always washed it down with a large bacardi and coke. Strangely, he would never drink bacardi any other time, said he hated it!

My hubbie swears by fruit pastilles and coke (but he says it has to be full fat coke) Personally I recommend loads of fluids, fried food and as much sleep as you can get.

[MK Chris]

That's what I said.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Vimto and Cornflake cakes.

Ah but I added plenty of sleep and was not refering to alcohol

I started to write some of the things I thought I knew, but then realised I may be wrong on some points... so I went here to check, some good info so 'ave a look.

Good ol' BBC

Keep hydrated, keep your blood sugar up and sleep if you are in a position to do so - won't cure you, but it will keep the length of suffering to a minimum.

[Ballbag]

Surely as a Scotsman you know that the best cure for a hang over is ice cold Irn Bru?

[foot-loose]

Ahh, I wasn't expecting anyone to suggest that. Irn Bru and a fry up are probably the two most common ones up here.

[Yudster]

Can someone explain to me the mystical properties of that fabled drink Irn Bru?

[Blackie]

It's made in Scotland from girders!

No, even we don't understand it - its orange and tastes like nothing else on earth. But see if you get a decent bottle (yes, you do get good and bad bottles - same with Coke) its amazing.

And as blackie says - its made in Scotchland from girders!

[Yudster]

By dyslexic drinks manufacturers? Or merely Scotchish people who were taught phonetic spelling at primary school?!

Don't you know it's one of those ads?
Lots of kids with white teeth and giant shoulder pads.
It's not a drink from those crazy yanks
Because it's made right here, you know it's tougher than tanks!

Made in Scotland from girders.
Unpronouncable too!
Made in Scotland from girders.
It's called Barr's, Irn Bru!?

'Til the day is feeling quite fun
If you see a hit single go to Number One.
The only fly in the ointment, Irn Bru's that claim:
Made in Scotland from girders.

There goes your chance of fame
It's a bit of a shame

[Yudster]

Which would be great if I could access YouTube from here.......!

[Blackie]

Ha , thats brilliant. Never seen that before.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I had one of those WKD Iron Bru or some such nonsense (I was very drunk already and it was bought for me) and it made me vomit*


* The previous 12 pints went down fine.

[foot-loose]

its very fizzy - but its better than red bull*. I recommend.

*Not better for you, Charlalottie - just taste wise!
