Rabit’s Top 7 Hangover Cures

by on Apr.02, 2011, under The Top 7 of Everything

A good boozy night out (or in) is inevitably followed by the morning after and a massive hangover. Other than the obvious ‘drink lots of water’ everyone has their own tried and tested cures, but these are my top 7. And no, “not drinking in the first place” isn’t going to make it into the list as that’s a) sensible; and more importantly b) boring.

7. Tea

Cuppa TeaIf you’ve only got access to a sparsely supplied kitchen, I bet you there are some teabags hanging around somewhere. A good two or three cups of tea will stave off an average hangover, and this tip is especially good if you don’t have any other hangover cure methods at your disposal. I’d say this is the last resort of hangover cures, it works but there are far better methods if you have the resources.

6. Get Laid

Get LaidThis may sound a little left field, but trust me, if you’ve got something fun on your mind it really detracts from the pain of a hangover. While you’re doing what you do, you’ll be so focused that you’ll completely forget that you had a hangover in the first place. If it was a milder hangover, then you never know, it may get rid of it completely. And even if it doesn’t work, hey you’ve had some fun in the process!

5. Paracetamol

ParacetamolThis is an obvious choice and should be used in conjunction with any or all of the items listed below*. Paracetamol is more often than not the first call for most headaches, and a hangover is usually the mother of all headaches, so this would seem like a step in the right direction. Always make sure your house is stocked up with Paracetamol or some kind of painkiller substitute.

*always read the label, I’m not a doctor and I don’t take well to being sued.

4. Fresh Air

Fresh AirThis under-rated method really can help get rid of that hangover. Getting out the house and getting some fresh air can be one great way to clear out the pain and bring you back to normality, although it can be a bit of a problem if it’s hammering down with rain and blowing a gale. To make for a good day it should be used in conjunction with a few other methods, of course.

3. More Booze

Hair Of The DogEveryone’s done it and ‘hair of the dog’ is what it’s called. It seems to fix all but the worst of hangovers, but is really only an option on a weekend or when you’re on holiday. For other times such as a weekday when you need to at least pretend that you’re working so you don’t get fired, I wouldn’t recommend this method. If it’s a Saturday / Sunday, or you’re out on holiday then I couldn’t recommend it enough!

2. Lucozade

LucozadeBear with me on this one… what is Lucozade made for: Hydrating athletes. What is a hangover: A massive dehydration headache. It’s pure genius, and seems obvious when you think about it; put the cure with the problem and that’s called a solution. Down a few bottles and you’ll be right as rain in no time, works great instead of a plain old tea if you have some bottles stored away in the fridge.

1. Fry Up

Fry UpTried and tested and has never failed me yet. A massive greasy fry up is on the cards for all large hangovers. You’ve got to put everything in there too; bacon, eggs, beans, toast, hash browns, sausages, tomato, mushrooms, and even some blood sausage if you like. Get that down you and it’s by far my number 1 hangover cure. Can’t cook? No problem, I bet there’s a good greasy spoon near you somewhere, you just have to find it.

    There is one another cure: Take a shit. Sometmes laying a dark blacky brown log in the toilet can help you clear yourself out.

    Come home, have sex, drink water, sleep, wake up, poo, drink tea, paracetamol, fry up, hair of the dog and then a lucozade and take a walk and you’ll be right as rain.

    Bear that is the most disgusting thing I have heard in a long time.

    Flat coke or sprite for me, usually acquired pissed out of one’s head and fallen in via McDonalds on the walk home!

  • Whyte Rabit

    Oh yes! I like that one. Last time I got a McD’s on the way home, I asked for a cheesburger, but got a BigMac meal. Of course I legged it with the full meal after paying for only the cheesburger!

    Here’s to hoping Bear doesn’t enjoy shitting and sex at the same time tho 😉 lol

  • The Bear

    Rabit: I do not enjoy mixing them. That is for twisted people and Portsmouth (who probably use it as lube!).

  • Whyte Rabit

    haha that’s good to know! and I thought that might have been be a “pompey” thing!!

  • MattyRasker

    Lots of Coca Cola + Sofa + TV (something mindless but entertaining, Dave for example). Perfect.
