I was mad because I couldn't try to pick up some models that came to a comics convention, all because of my dumb friend who didn't have a ticket.

Anyway, do you guys know any remedies to cure a hangover?

Stop drinking until you fall over. You'll learn that eventually.

And about picking up the models at a comics convention? Man, you missed out...because you would have been the only guy there that asked them out.

Seriously, Hot models, dressed as super heroes, at a comics convention, never get bothered by the male attendees.

And most people that attend these conventions are other hot girls, so you would have had no competition.

So it really is your friend's fault. It's also his fault that you drank yourself into the ground. Darn him, anyway.

Haha I know! That's exactly what I was thinking, they were two smoking hot girls wearing cosplays. And also they were americans (I'm from Mexico) so guys in here couldn't even talk to them since they all speak spanish, and the girls speak only english. So yeah, it was so terrible. It could've been a great story to tell.

As a seasoned alcoholic, I can tell you that the secret to avoiding a hangover is drinking copious quantities of water.

(I also remember reading a men's health article saying that if you already have a hangover, a juicy cheeseburger will do you some good).

*EDIT* yeah I confirm that Tylenol may be a bad idea after research.

For me? I'd probably take it, but I'm a reckless animal, and don't want anyone to die because of my poor advice.

So, stick to the cheeseburger & water. (or Gatorade).

Painkillers - Aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) may reduce hangover headache and muscle pain, but should not be used if you are experiencing abdominal pain or nausea. The medications themselves are gastric irritants and can compound gastrointestinal hangover symptoms. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) should not be taken during a hangover because alcohol metabolism enhances acetaminophen's toxicity. Also, ibuprofen taken when dehydrated can sometimes cause kidney dysfunction especially in persons with poor kidney function.

But after you do get one, I hear you should take a bath in tomato juice. No, that was for if you got sprayed by a skunk.

So, take a bath in goat's milk. No, wait, that was for if you got a sunburn.

Never mind about baths, but I hope you learned something about drinking too much anyway.

Haha those are some useful facts, but actually I do think a cold water bath could help.

And I hope I learnt the lesson too, this usually happens once a month, it needs to stop.

This is 100% on the money. Before you go to bed, drink as much water as you can stomach. Hung over the next day? Tylenol and a nice greasy meal.

EDIT: I was thinking when I responded that Tylenol didn't sound right. Ibuprofen is what you want. Tylenol and booze don't mix.

Milk, not water. It replenishes the minerals that that alcohol burns out that cause the problem, and rehydrates.

That is absolutely insane. The last thing I want after a long night of boozing is a belly full of milk. Alcohol very rarely makes me regurge, but Alcohol and milk? Uncontrollable projectile vomiting.

Water rehydrates, which is the main issue with a hangover. Better: Gatorade. Even better: Pedialyte.

And I should make a correction to my response above: Don't take Tylenol after drinking. It can cause liver failure. Ibuprofen is the way to go.

Ibuprofin also causes liver damage. And part of your hangover isn't hydration - it's the deficiency in the elements that alcohol burns out of you. Try it once and you'll know the difference.

It's mostly water, salt, vitamin B6 and potassium depletion.

I drink water upon going to bed, plenty during the day and also milk to nourish when I can't stomach food.

  I used to have an acquaintance that went on benders. He would drink a lot of fruit juices, eat a little fruit, and take a hot bath. A few hours later, he was at least functional.
  Yes, I remember being young and foolish. Even after getting dead drunk a hundred time, it still doesn't dawn on you that you'll have a nasty hangover.

I did have a pill of tylenol before. Haha I like that juicy cheeseburger thing, I'm probably going to McDonalds in a while to eat a burger guilt-free (I usually feel really guilty when eating one of those and end up running in the beach to "burn" all the fat lol).

Yep! Back in the day. (Before I damn near killed myself by alcohol poisoning),
I would go to bars and drink double doubles of Beam chasing it with draft beer.
But, drinking a pint of Beam, a 5th of Tequilla, and damn near a 5th of Turkey
put me in bed for 3 days and stopped my liquor drinking for 5 years.

Now, I'm a lite weight.
Beer and the occasional shot Morgan.

Learning a lesson is one thing. Learning to respect yourself is another thing entirely. Hopefully, that will come soon.

I drank myself through my 20's, so I am not one to judge. But come on. That is the stupidest reason to get drunk I have ever heard.

At least go out on a real limb and get shot down before feeling like you deserve some self-abuse.

Even then, it is much healthier to view rejection as a valuable learning experience. But at least it is a finer line.

LOL Travlinguy!

Both Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen cause liver damage but too much drinking causes cirrhosis of the liver, an abnormal liver condition in which there is irreversible scarring of the liver. Scar tissue cannot do what healthy liver tissue does like make protein, help fight infections, clean the blood, help digest food and store energy.

It can also lead to bruising easily or bleeding including nosebleeds, gallstones, swelling of the abdomen or legs, severe itching, extra sensitivity to medications, jaundice, high blood pressure in the vein that enters the liver, kidney failure, as well as varicose veins in the stomach and esophagus that can start bleeding suddenly causing internal hemorrhaging.

Think about all of that the next time you want to over do it with the drinking.

I know, I know, I am a complete downer, haha!

The main issue with Ibuprofen is stomach and intestinal bleeding which can occur with daily usage with alcohol.

And the majority of a hangover is, in fact, due to dehydration. The dehydration causes the deficiency in minerals you speak of and causes electrolytes to get out of whack. The secondary part of a hangover is the toxins brought into your body by the alcohol. Rehydrating helps dilute the toxins (and the hangover).

I've only had 2 pints in the last year, that's my hangover cure and it works wonders. You may think that's boring but I don't miss drinking and I don't miss hangovers, and I can always remember the night before.

Nothing helps me in this situation the way that potato chips do! Potato chips and lots of water. Salt settles my stomach...

Also, buy some Milk Thistle. All the hangover remedies are best consumed at night before passing out.

My before bed routine:

Small bag of salty potato chips.

2 Milk Thistle capsules.

A LOT of water.

Milk thistle helps the liver process the alcohol.

As a recovered Alkie, I would always slam a drink to get rid of the hangover...

I usually opted for something less potent than what I was drinking the night before.

Then I would get something fatty and greasy in my gut and start chugging water or gatorade.

However, the are 2 fail-safe cures I have found:
1) Sobriety
2) Staying Drunk

#1 Lends a bit better to societal function for most...
#2 Lends better to dealing with society's functions for all...
