Hangover Cure

This is faster than an IV.

You can make larger batches, just be sure to keep the same proportions.

1 quart water
6 tsp sugar
½ tsp salt

1. Mix it all together and drink it to rehydrate.

Yep, same ingredients as Powerade and Pedialyte. Both work wonders.

The better than an IV part is iffy. Both work about the same but the difference is time and ability to get liquids down in large amounts. The average hungover person can't get enough liquids down to beat their hangover in a reasonable amount of time. Most people need more than a quart to replenish. An IV can contain fluids, vitamins, and even medicine like Zofran. And it works immediately without you needing fill up your stomach.

I've done the IV at one of those boutique IV places when my hangover was unbearable. It was unbelievable. My hangover is almost always nausea, so it takes me a few miserable hours to get enough liquids down to kick it.

In the past, when I had bad one, I would drink lots of water, take a super B vitamin and Alka Seltzer. Works pretty well for me.

Double cheeseburger, large fry and a large Dr Pepper.


Pretty sure that combo could cure most deadly diseases.

Time and regret are the only fool-proof cures. Sprinkle in some anxiety and a dark room and you're good to go.

FIFY

Not that I do this often, hardly ever, but it definitely works.

a bottle of water, 2 super b complex and 2 aspirin or other pain killer before going to sleep will cure your hangover before you get one.

I was with her last night. That's why I'm hungover.

If you are a regular drinker, don't take Tylenol for a hangover - it could damage your liver.

wait...I thought Tylenol (acetaminophen) was safe and aspirin was the no-go...

Have I been doing it backwards all this time?

Not drink so much and add a glass of water in between drinks.

Better than an IV and your homemade pedialite.
