frostypaw Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 So. Any secrets? dioralyte? Alka seltzer? Fry up?Absolutely.Skip Dioralyte and alka-seltzer - these are expensive versions of very cheap things. You can get electrolyte salts from almost any health/fitness store either as flavoured drink tablets (expensive) or just tablets you have with a pint of water (cheap as chips) - buy a pack and they're also immensely handy on sweaty hot days, very helpful. 3.5p a tab rather than 60odd p for dioralyte i think it wasthrow in a painkiller of choice and a fry up to get your fats and carbs back up and you're rolling.Drinking more genuinely does help too, scientifically proven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipayne Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Before I go to sleep I generally just drink a pint of water and take some paracetamol (I know you're not supposed to) and I never wake up with a hangover, usually just really tired. Avoid drinking lots of Gin, usually the worst thing to cause a hangover in my experience. EDIT: I must say, waking up in a hot tent after a heavy night usually makes you feel much, much worse.

parsonjack Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 2 Paracetamol and a half pint of water before bed. Then a black coffee and a banana on waking works for me every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatmax Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 The paracetamol/caffein tablets work perfectly for getting rid of your headache as well as perking you right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Keep drinking. You will probably die when you come back from the festival though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGABOWL Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Dioralyte before sleep (absolutely key this, the next morning is too late) In the morning, a bottle of water with a rehydration tablet (e.g. High 5) then one with a Berocca. Then food. If nothing is handy I have a stash of Nature Valley Granola bars (Maple Syrup flavour) and eat 1/2 of them. Full of oats and sugar. The Dioralyt before bed is the main thing though.

parsonjack Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 The paracetamol/caffein tablets work perfectly for getting rid of your headache as well as perking you right up. Solpadeine soluble....be careful to use the ones with caffeine...not codeine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisTGA Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Long shot, but for anybody who has been to Amsterdam, did you check out the hangover shop just off of the main RLD near 'skinny alley'? It's just full of blue bottles of a supposed hangover cure, just wondered if anyone had bought one and tried it and if it actually worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Placid Casual Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Drinks were wayyyyy too expensive in Amsterdam, so I never got to the point of being hungover. Edited April 26, 2015 by WessexBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisTGA Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 http://www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com/entertainment/hangover-information-center/ This is it. Spoke to the woman in there for a while more out of general curiosity and it sounded like she was talking shit for the most part. Yeah it is expensive, but a lot of my friends don't smoke so I spent a lot of time in bars. When in Ro...Amsterdam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Painkillers + ~1L of water before bed, Berocca first thing. Easy peasy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyboi Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Solpadeine soluble....be careful to use the ones with caffeine...not codeine. Sod that, I always react for the solpadeine max, plenty of codine zero caffine. I need the sledgehammer aprouch to headaches. I'm worse after I come down off caffine. Ever since I turned 23 the only thing for me is water, water, water sleep then some form of spicy food. I can't do hangovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
