Hangover cure. Also moonshine in my Keurig
« on: February 14, 2011, 04:31:43 am »
Well it seems once again my home-brew was stronger than I thought it was. Assuming that you guys live the dwarven code, what's a good hangover cure?

On a related note, how bad is it if i put moonshine into a Kuerig coffee maker? I rinsed it out after sobering up.

Drink lots of water. Most of the hangover symptoms are due to dehydration. It works better if you do it before going to sleep it off, too.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

Pretty much this. Eat absorbent stuff like bread or bananas too, I find that helps.

Water (or tea, in my case; caffiene can help with headaches. Drink a quart or so before going to bed and wake up feeling [more or less] fine. Gatorade/equivalent is good too).
Multivitamin (alcohol selectively destroys vitamin b, and generally dehydration leads to electrolyte loss).
Aspirin (or painkiller of your choice; pretty obvious. Avoid acetaminophen).
Time (along with lots of water, flush your system out).
Food (something small, snacky, and possibly absorbent)
A nearby restroom. (obvious with the amounts of water you should be drinking)
Low lighting environment if it's really that bad.

It's viable to keep a dead rabbit in the glove compartment to take a drink every now and then.

Chronic alcoholism can cause a deficit of Tiamine, but it's related to the alcoholic hepatopaty. It's not really relevant in the context of a hangover. Avoid multivitamin complexes like the plague on public health they are

Drink water before going to bed. Later is too late. Orange juice may help, and martino sandwitch ease my stomach. Dunno how it will work for yours.

I don't think anything other than time has been shown to cure hangovers (although obviously being hydrated and getting rest will make it less bad).  As for prevention... well, I think the method's already been mentioned.

Vast amounts of coffee and a huge greasy breakfast. Probably doesn't help but it makes me happy so w/e.

Also drink lots of water or lemonade or whatever. Also I find that in this case, the cure is definitely the more dwarven option than the prevention.
