You know those thoughts you have when you're hungover? Classic ones like: "How did I end up drinking so much last night?" "I hope I didn't text her" "Fuck, where's my wallet" "where'd we park the car" and "mmmm sandwiches." Granted most of the hungover thoughts and conversations are complete nonsense--a mix of moaning noises and incoherent words. I must admit though, some of the most entertaining conversations I've ever had have been when my friends and I are gathered around the tv watching sports during the morning after. One time we even came up with the cure. Let's set the scene:
Last Sunday I was completely mashed after a night of too much whiskey and lager. I thought to myself, "what could this have happens, what could have, what could I have done to prevent this?"
1. I could have stayed sober?
-lol
2.
Had 5 less drinks?
-A good idea in theory, but when you're unemployed and someone is buying you shots, you can't say no: fact. My thoughts didn't get too far before it hit me square in my aching face. I guess my mind was subconsciously reminiscing about hospital beds when the thought of a bedside intravenous device struck me. Brilliant!
The Cure - It's so simple... you become hungover because your body is so dehydrated from the alcohol that it dries up your organs like sandpaper. That's why they suggest drinking water before you go to bed. I'm one step ahead of them though: Drink water while you're sleeping!
If I could arrange a bedside IV system, then I could just hook up to that thing before I pass out and it could hydrate my body while I sleep and I'll awake feeling 110 percent. I'd crush up a few ibuprofen and sprinkle the medicine in there to take care of the headache as well.
Now I understand that the whole administering a needle while you're wasted thing is dangerous, but if you mark the vein when you're sober then it cant be that hard to hit the target.
Is this the cure we've all been looking for?

Definetly fact. The amount of times I've gone out expecting just a couple of drinks because I'm low on money but I end up getting offered drinks and sometimes I don't even get the chance to say no.
The water thing does help though then in the morning I drink a bottle of Irn Bru and I'm right as rain.
lol great post
Orange juice and tomato juice help fight hangovers because of the acid.
lol I hear more vodka is the cure but hard to tell since I'm on my foourth martini as we speak - fuck how depressing is that?! I'm on xanga and drinking martinis?! lol lol
drinking water the next day is the best cure for hangovers. Drink like a gallon of water [which the "average' person is supposed to be drinking anyway].
IVs while youre sleeping sounds like a good idea.
Luckily, I've quit drinking
I'll have to keep that in mind next time I have one too many drinks. I usually do end up drinking some water before bed, but I guess it's not enough.
Drink water and have a hot bowl of menudo the next morning (if you don't know what menudo is you need to go to an authenic Mexican restuarant and ask for it-you won't find it at Chevys).
yes good theory BUT could the chances of wetting the bed at your age be increased?
if that happens, is it worth it?Apples?
hahahaha.
I fear for you Craig
haha this is brilliant.
Hm, I don't know, sounds funny but it might just work? I've never gotten a hangover before, no matter how much was drunk the night before... seriously, I could puke my insides out, be walking in a zigzag pattern all night or spent 5+ hours of my life drinking and still wake up fine the next day... I think it's my Russian genes. Maybe a genetic study could provide some answers?
nah, in a weird way, i like that drinking too much has consequences. if it didn't, i would be unemployed due to the fact that i would be drunk 24/7
@chihuahua_momma@xanga - Menudo works? :))
Oh well, water does greatly help, so as hot milk. :D
I like this.
there is no cure for a hangover. not even water.
i just have a beer before bed.. and a beer the day after if I don't feel better
Too much water can drown you and kill you, so, you have to make sure you're careful about that. Best cure I've ever had was gatorade and sucking a popsicle. Apparently, I forgot who told me this, I think it was my mom, if you suck on a popsicle it reverses you're upchucking and you stop it. When I throw up from drinking I throw up everything and then continue throwing up any stomach acid that gets in the way. So, the popsicle idea has worked out for me :)
Hahaha. I used to knock on coffee to stay awake in class after a rough night, but that never helped much :P
LMAO!!!!!
My parents swear by pickle juice, as in drinking it right out of the jar.
