So, anyone suffering from their New Year's Bender? Let Pretzellogic make it all better.
Well, I suppose you're through the worst of it already, but you can print this out for the next time you plan on consuming mass quantities.
Dr. Pretzel's Hangover cures:
1) Drink lots of water. I mean glasses and glasses. Preferably, drink water before you hit the mattress/floor. If you can't do that, and you wake up with a hangover, get started. Gatorade is even better, if you've got some.
2) Vitamins. Take them. You need A, B complex (B6 especially), and C, as the alcohol has washed them away. In fact, it doesn't hurt to take these (especially B complex) before a bender.
3) This is my patented hangover breakfast:
- Fry up some eggs in a good bit of salted butter (even better: fry up some bacon and then cook the eggs in the fat). Scramble them over low heat, but don't add any milk.
- Remove them from the pan when they are still a little underdone. The carryover heat will finish them, and you want them soft.
- Toast up some white bread (it's the easiest to digest)
- Shred the toast into the eggs. Add some more butter if you need it to soften it up a bit. If you used bacon, crumble that and add it too.
- Add a shitload of black pepper, or you can also go with some tabasco. (The "heat" helps combat nausea).
- Mix up and chow down.
For some reason that I'm not currently aware of, greasy foods really help hangovers. This combonation, which was created specially at Pretzel Labs Inc., is the best at killing or at least dullling many of the symptoms.
4) Bannanas are a great hangover food. They act as a natural antiacid, are easy to digest, and have more potassium than anything, and potassium is something you also need after your binge. A peanutbutter, honey, and bannana sandwich is great hangover food, as it helps a bunch of the symptoms and isn't too hard to digest.
5) While Asprin (and Excedrin, which is asprin, Tylonol, and caffeine) is great for headaches, it's also hard on the stomach. Stick to Advil (the liquidgels are the best).
6) Coffee is good, but remember it dehydrates you (but you're drinking buckets of water already, right?). Also, if you take it black (as I do), you don't today. Add honey instead of sugar (fructose is absorbed quicker than sucrose, so it helps to replace sugars you've lost and you feel better quicker), and non-dairy creamer is better than milk/cream if you can find it (milk is like sugar in our proverbial gastank, and really hard to digest. The best way to make yourself hurl is by drinking/eating dairy)
7) Take a hot bath. You'll feel a little woozy, but it's worth it a little later. This helps you to sweat out some of the remaining toxins. Besides, you're horizontal, and that's always good when you feel horrible.
8) Did I mention drinking a ton of water? In fact, drink while you're in the bath.
Anyone else have any tried and true methods?
