That's Fit

One thing for sure is a guaranteed cure for a hangover. Now I'm not talking about a cradling the porcelain goddess style hangover, I'm talking about one where you have a gnawing headache.

Eat very spicy food.... It might not necessarily get rid of the headache, but it will give you a whole new pain to think about. Actually this works very well. There is an authentic Szechuan (Chinese) restaurant in my area. The one time I went there with a slight hangover headache, the spicy food took it out - easily. Its got to be hot enough to make your tongue burn.

I am a single mom and a former drunk. I still drink a little too much, not like before but definitely have my nights where I imbibe too much. I find the best cure for a hangover is a TON of water and green tea and working out the next day.

As I have a small house I
don't
have any large pieces of equipment.

I have a jump rope, a work out ball, some free weights.

I wear smartsole insoles that I read about on aol that you put in
your sneakers to increase intensity of workout. They are under $30
bucks and tone muscles and are fab-u-lous http://www.smartsole.com

I also have an exercise bike that is small and compact that I bought
at sears http://www.sears.com Sears home brand for simple exercise
bikes are fantastic...cheap and sturdy (like me!)

One sure way not to get a hangover...DON'T DRINK!!! If you find that you are getting hangovers or drinking to excess daily or weekly...FIND YOUR LOCAL AA MEETINGS!!! YOU NEED HELP WITH YOUR ALCOHOLISM!!! It can be the best thing you ever did for yourself and those around you who have endured your sickness.

Use only sugar-free mixers. Before crashing, take many vitamin B1 tablets & several Prickly Pear Herb capsules, and of course, drink much water. Avoid aspirin until next morning & then, take only the buffered. Avoid acetominophen at all costs within days of consuming alcohol (liver toxic!).

I've found that the best cure for a hangover is a nice big bowl of the sticky green first thing in the morning. Wake and bake people, wake and bake!

I try and make it a habit to eat something before bed when I drink because it really does stop a hangover for me. So I don't agree with myth #4

alcohol is a poisonous chemical that the body constantly filters out. no way around this fact. why anyone would consume this is beyond me. even the animals avoid alcohol.

Hamilton - Not everyone that drinks or gets a hangover is sick or an alcoholic. Alcoholism is a genetic disease. Sometimes people have a hangover from just a couple of drinks. It has to do with hydration, NOT over drinking.

Drink as much water as you can before going to bed. It worked for me and my drinking buddies years ago. Now, I find that consuming less is also a good method.

Hangovers come from a chemical by-product of alcohol metabolism called acetaldehyde. There is no real way to avoid as it is an inevitable result of consuming alcohol. The only sure remedy for a hangover is not to drink a lot. The more alcohol the more acetaldehyde is formed simple huh...

Actually, it's "beer before liquor makes you sicker" :-P

And I've found that drinking a TON of water before going to bed helps. As in a gallon+. Works every time...makes sense too. Hangovers are caused by the dehydration that occurs when you drink alcohol. Rehydrate yourself before bed and it's all good.

The best cure for a hangover is not to get one in the first place.....

When I am hungover I like to have a cocktail! Ive tried many methods but nothing seems to cure the symptoms quite as well as a little alcohol in the morning. I once read somewhere that the new alcohol will actually absorb the old alcohol, hence making you feel much better!

My favorite hangover curing cocktail is a Long Island Iced Tea. Here is a link for the recipe.

The best way to take care of a hangover is to take two Alkaseltzer Morning Relief tablets in a small glass of water. It works very well everytime and gets rid of the body aches too!!

Myth #9 is somewhat true and is based on the way our bodies handle carbonation. Didn't your mom ever give you a 7up or club soda to help a belly ache? It's not because of the sugar, but the bubbles that make your belly feel better, but also make you feel full. So beer before liquor never been sicker. Liquor before beer and you're in the clear. Providing of course you don't just get wasted. And btw, to prevent a hangover, drink a proportional amount of water, electrolytes, glucose before you go to bed, unless of course you are getting utterly wasted and then there is no cure. Personally I like water and O.J.

if you keep jaegermeiser in the refrigerator and get it nice and cold. The morning of a hangover you take a shot of the jaegermeiser or two and it will clear your head and if you smoke it will clear your throat. Tkis will also work with any bitters.

Obviously limiting the amount you drink the night before can help, but I definitely agree with others that water and Gatorade/Powerade are key. Also, I have found that a good greasy breakfast gets you feeling great pretty quickly, something like an omelet and bacon (assuming you aren't feeling nauseous). I also tend to disagree with myth #4, I found that a small bag of Smartfood popcorn near the end of my night really prevents a hangover, but that's just me.
