You're still trying to learn the secrets of hangover free drinking then here we go.

Extremely dangerous section:

Anti histamine reported to be DiphenhydramineHC1 otherwise know as a sleeping aid, rumoured to stop hangovers by stopping allergic reaction to impurities in alcohol.Makes you sleep for ages and gives you an even dryer mouth but does seem to help.

Beta- blockers rumoured to help by stopping you from shaking and slowing your heart rate, no further information on these very dangerous drugs.

Acid reducing tablets Ranitidine Hydrochloride and such like.Certainly seems to help with stomach acid that helps you sleep more comfortably, with the hangover though?

Various off the shelf pain killers.Take with large amounts of water,this completely screws up your stomach even more than the drink probably would, but what the hell you can't feel it anyway.

Blood exchange system.Six weeks before you intend to go drinking take an advised amount of blood from your body and then simply exchange the contaminated for good,easy.

Alcohol.Also known as the hair of the dog.Yes this sounds like a good one I know and yes it definitely does work but unfortunately you are now a completely useless alcoholic.Supposedly the hangover is caused by your body coming down from the alcoholic high you indulged in the night before.

I suppose you could drink a few more just to help what do you say.

The not so dodgy:

Some herbal or medicinal plants cures can be quite powerful, and some are very powerful so powerful that they can kill you.You may be surprised to learn that even today over Forty percent of prescription drugs sold in the USA contain ingredients derived from nature, and a full twenty five percent of drugs contain at least one compound derived directly or through chemical modelling from flowering plants.

Valerian.Widely available from health food shops a well known calmative,antispasmodic,good for the morning after wobbling hand syndrome does seem to help but can upset some peoples stomach.

St. Johns Wort.Good name this one, getting a reputation for helping with depression which you will definitely have when you start to realise how much you spent last night, helps some people more than others.

Marijuana. Err its illegal almost everywhere go to Amsterdam. Does have side effects can make some people laugh even more than when they were drunk and act very stupidity has been linked to temporary brain damage.Hence the name Dope

Activated charcoal.A very black substance used in various chemical clean up processes, also easily available at health food stores the idea is to take tablets before while and after drinking, thus helping absorb the impurities in the drinks that could possibly have something to do with your brain ache.

Not to sure about this cure but does make going to the toilet interesting.

The totally obvious section.

Eat a big meal before drinking, something dairy based say macaroni cheese or anything with plenty of oil in to help coat your stomach of course you probably won't feel like drinking anyway after a big meal so it is a bit of a double edged sword.

Drink a relatively clean alcohol like vodka and mix it with cranberry juice the two work well together the hangover symptoms are reduced greatly.

Rule number one avoid cheap red wines and if you are forced to drink any cheap wine tough you are probably in fore a extremely unpleasant time if you drink to much, in fact so called experts say you should also never mix spirits and beers because your alcoholic absorption rate will skyrocket out of control(Yippee) usually followed by a severe case of making a pratt of yourself.

Then you should always avoid alcoholic drinks altogether if driving or on medication or just about anything that requires you to do anything skilled.

However some people are just afraid that they might let their hair down to much these people are to be carefully avoided as they have probably have something to hide or are just trying to take advantage of you.

Please add any cures you have and I will try to include them [yes I have a cure]

What You have said

Your hangover cures were very interesting, I have just one thing toadd, although it is so obvious I don't know whether it's necessary to poitnit out - basically I always drink lots of water, say a couple of pints,just before I go to bed. And I never ever get hangovers!But that must be something biological because I don't even get themwhen I forget to drink the water. I have some other cures I have collected from around the web, if youare bored you could go look them up, http://members.tripod.com/~saliekat/bmagcure.htmlsome of them are, er, enough to turn a sober stomach B)ciao for now,Sally

Vitamin B complex; take one before drinking, during the evening, and inthe morning. Alcohol depletes the system of vitamins; the loss of B isone reason you feel sluggish the next day. B vitamins are water solubleand are flushed out of the system by the booze. BY GEORGE HYLAND

Alcohol dehydrates you. So does pop. If you drink 2 or more glassesbefore you pass into your drunk induced slumber you will not feel asbad inthe morning. Dehydration makes you feel tied and energy-less. Waterhelps. That's why your body is 98% water. Bottom's UpTrygve Rangen ;-)

Drink HUGE amounts of yellow drinks (such as Fanta etc).The only thing that makes my day a little better when it is one of those days... ([email protected])

Coffee based cure:Take 1 teaspoon coffee granulesadd 2 teaspoons of sugar.Grind them together in the cupwith the back of the teaspoon.Add hot water, not boling.Do not add milk, it ruins it.Chug the whole lot down.Comforting and refreshing.Alternatively don't drink.([email protected])

One of the more obvious but surprisingly little-known cures for the hangover stems from the fact that people under the age of 25 don't get them so the answer is to stop having birthdays after you turn 24.([email protected])

Drink a glass of your own urine after a heavy session. You will soon find that this is so horrid you will stop having heavy sessions and no more hangovers. rego([email protected])

Being the wife of a local bar musician, I have lots ofexperience on this subject(18 yrs). The best cure for your hangover is2 advils and a large glass of cold V~8. I haven't figured out why itworkds, I just know it does.

For some reason, eating a banana or two before going to bedhelps, it's got something to do with the minerals in fruit. Citrus fruits and watermelons also help. [email protected]
