Hangover story? I'm aging myself, but here goes...

Never drink Harvey Wallbangers all night while snacking on dill pickles.

Thank you, I'll take the hangover, not the remedy. Bleah.

Worst I ever was was in college, end of season party to celebrate the end of swim season. Tequila. Too much of it. To this day, I cannot stand the taste or smell of tequila.

You don't really want to know, do you? WARNING....GROSS.....
















passed out, I think....don't remember...all I remember is the words not matching the mouth movements....
so sick it was coming out both ends at the same time......


never been drunk once after that, and very rarely drink. I learned my lesson.....

<font color=navy>It was my 25th birthday, & I was out country western dancing - every time I came back to the table there was a shot of tequila waiting for me. By the end of the night I knew I couldn't drive home, so one of my friends drove me home & spent the night.

I had to drive her back to her house the next day, and boy was I in pain.

I learned my lesson - just drink in mild moderation these days, if at all.

Let's just say I was in college and I don't remember it, but DH(then my fiance) does! I can't stand mixed drinks to this day. I drink very rarely now, only special occasions.

The above hangover remedy would work if you threw a shot of vodka in it.

The best remedy is the hair of the dog that bit you.

(not that I have a ton of first-hand experience or anything, but I was a bartender for years and I have seen many people who would need a little hair of the dog the next morning. )

Worst hangover: Drank an entire fifth of Jack Daniels over the course of an afternoon and evening. Passed out on a wood pile next to a barn. Woke up in the middle of the night with my friend holding my head up by the back of my hair so I wouldn't... Let's just say to keep my face out of "it."
Hung over sooooo bad the next day, but was met by my father when I walked in the house. He had me load in two chords of wood right then and there. Taught me a valuable lesson. And it also signalled the end of my wild days!

Remedy? Drink Pedialite.

Too many to tell, but here's one that's not too bad. I was feeling poorly the morning after and downed two aspirin with a large glass of water. I immediately tossed my cookies in the kitchen sink, while my mom was in the next room!!! I did learn two tricks: take the aspirin before you go to bed, and the other one is eat a bowl of rice crispies. It works wonders! It's a little tough going down, but for some reason it makes you feel tons better!

Ugh! My infamous Purple Passion incident, as it has become known.
I was 19 and at then BF's, friends party at UMass Lowell. I drank an entire 2 liter bottle of Purple Passion. I had to go to work the next day and I remember the road was making me dizzy as I drove in. One cowoker describe me as "looking green" that day. My boss asked if I was having female problems and I just said yes. I was sent home from work after about 1 hour.
To this day I cant think of that stuff, or any "grape soda" without my stomach turning.

Worst hangover was in College...drank 5 long Island Iced Teas...well, don't think I finished the 5th, but don't remember. A good drunk would have been 3 for me..5'2", 118lbs (then!). I don't remember getting home...we always walked to this bar, so no driving involved. Was hungover for a week, I swear. Couldn't touch the drink for at least 10 years, even then its iffy for me.

I really don't get drunk like that anymore...I've learned to get a buzz and head for the water. I HATE hangovers.

Best cures usually are tons of water, and when you can handle it some greasy food. Don't know why, but it works for me every time.

Worst was the first...we had a student teacher my senior year and he got married after he left and invited us to his reception (mistake!). Open bar.. Rum and Coke has Coke in it, so it can't be too bad, right? Mix about 6 of those with best friend trying to teach me to polka.
After reception we were going to see "The Incredible Shrinking Woman"--I told best friend and others I wanted to stay in the car...in January...opened the window after a while for air....BLECK all over the side of his car! It froze!
Got home...by the Grace of God my parents went on a day trip that day and were clueless...got sick again...called worldywise sister at college for help...her BF said "drink milk"--MISTAKE!!! Up it came. So much for help from them.
Called BF--(now husband)--had met his folks ONCE--he laughed and told his mom that I was hungover and sick!!! THAT'S a good impression! But he told me to eat dry toast. That night we had the "winter dance" at my HS and I made it, but I'm pretty pale in the pictures!

Had some really spectacular hangovers in the past. Too ashamed to go into all the details but the ultimate experience has to be the occasion where:-

Hangover day 1) Struggled into work and achieved less than nothing.

day 2) Felt worse than day 1 and decided I had better give work a miss for my sake and theirs.

That resulted from a night where a group of us decided to try every liquor in the restaurant after drinking copious amounts of wine with a meal. My last memory of the night is seeing what looked like a sea of empty glasses on the table.

To avoid a hangover drink several glasses of water before going to bed - it really does work (just don't indulge so much that you forget to drink the water!).

I have only got really really drunk once, and since then I promise myself never again. Not like that.

My fav remedy is drinking Perrier. The bubbly helps a lot. Friends drink Gatorade and said that helped. And the trick is to drink tons of water before or during your passing out, or in the middle of the night. Don't wait till the morning.

 

[Poohbear123]

My DH swears by this rememdy:: TAKE AN ALKA SELTZER 1 HOUR BEFORE YOU START DRINKING.....YOU WILL NOT BE HUNG OVER IN THE MORNING!!! Me, I just avoid mixing my drinks! If I am drinking rum, than Rum it is!

 

[PoohPoohKaaKaa]

Just wanted to concur that drinking lots of water before you go to bed is very important, because the biggest contributing factor to a hangover is dehydration. If your still out of sorts in the morning, some valerian root can help take the edge off.

the hair of the dog is the only way to do it, but I cant so I just suffer thru it, BTW this is a zombie thread, im just bored and playing around

 

[DonaldnDaisy5]

Lol thanks for the advance notification of the zombie thread!!!

might be a zombie, but it's timely with upcoming holiday parties and get togethers!

no favorite remedy but I will say that instant cream of wheat with NO milk and just a scant amount of butter helps settle the stomach, and hands down the best thing to cure cotton mouth is either tomato juice or v-8 (it even works w/ the pills orthodontists give to patients for extended work on their braces).

best tip (from personal knowledge)-if you drink coffee based drinks (irish or Mexican coffees) ALWAYS ask for decaf............the last thing you want during a hangover is a major caffeine buzz
