Hangover cures/IV drips

[GingerGreatness]

Dudes - you'll probably dog me with lines like "2001 called and wants its topic back", but a mate of mine swears by the use of his IV drip for a hangover cure. He brags about it all the time.

I'm not a gun ho a drinker or anything, but every time he mentions the damn thing, all I can think about is the hoo-ha regarding the Lions using them for hydration years ago and the AFL slamming it.

Thought I'd open (or most likely re-open) a thread on:-

1. hang over cures if anyone out there has any decent ones;

2. whether anyone can remind me why this was a big deal for the AFL back in '01.

Guys get injections for pain and play - Nigel Lappin is a god for getting an injection for his busted rib and playing in the '03 grand final - but gee whizz, good job he didn't get an injection for rehydration cause that's just sending the wrong message to the kiddies.

The cynic in me thinks its a sponsorship issue - think about what the corporate wigs at Powerade would say!

Do the guys still use the gas mask - the hydrated air or whatever it is like the NFL does?

Anyways, would be interested in how you guys look at this issue, given a few years have gone by.

Second sleep is the best hangover cure of all time.

 

[_hyphy]

McDonalds, works a treat.

coke
a lot of coke

 

[Rawhead]

coke is too expensive but it def does the job (alleged)



I recommend raw egg yolks w a dash of chille. Once you've sicked that up I always feel 100 percent better.

Full English breakfast along with lots of water and sleepp.

Only cures I can recommend are to

1- Stay drunk.
2- Hair of the dog (be it a brown dog or any other species)
3- Do as Cheswick does, vomit in your sleep after two beers. This should scare you enough to never get drunk again.

Water, no. Makes you sick.
Sleep, no. Sleep drunk, you still wake up drunk.
My answer - CARBS! Pancakes, toasted sandwiches, a really good takeaway burger or even a decent pasta.

Carbs are my answer to everything though!

This.

I call it the dreaded three:

1. Drinking all day.

2. Not eating.

3. Mixing drinks.

I find that if I avoid all of the above, then I am able to function the next morning. If I avoid 2 of the above, then it will only take me an hour or two to get back on track. If I avoid only 1 of the above, there is a good chance that I'll be sick for most of the day. If I am unable to avoid all three, then I am going to be in a bad state for a while!

And why is recovery so much harder when you get older?

Oxygen tank eg diving tank. Hour sleep with that the next morning and you're 100%

McDonalds, works a treat.

Triple Cheeseburgers are my fav

That or bacon and eggs.

I could not think of anything worse when hungover.

WHAT?! No.... it was 12 beers, I swear!

And as far as scaring away from getting drunk? Don't think so, I had to drink myself to the hospital with hypothermia to scare me
