I'm in a world of pain here - anyone got any miracle hangover cures? Normally I can handle the hangover but this is the worst I've had since my Thunderbird days. I strongly recommend that you don't ever, ever mix VB (aussie piss), Armenian beer and red wine - not a good combination.

Yikes! Just the sound of that combination is stomach churning.

Drink lots of water. And still more water. Food...depends on what stays down. For me it's usually something salty such as crisps or well-cooked bacon. Often dry or buttered toast works too. And still more water. And aspirin. And more water.

Did I mention water? ;-) Good luck and hope you're feeling better soon.

Thanks Ciara - I've drunk several litres of water already today and I think I can put down some seriously greasy lunch provided I don't think about the vast amounts of pickled herrings I ate last night (Russian restaurant). Worst thing is I've got to go to the g/f's Christmas party in just a few hours but I fear I'm still pissed.....

Never mind the cure. I just wanna know what VB, Armenian beer and red wine tasted like in combination. Hell, it's nearly Chrsitmas man - glad to see you're enjoying yersel'

Ciara's right, eat crap food...plenty water, salty stuff and sugary drinks to replace fluids and energise. A bag full of neurofen/Boots cold & flu also helps matters.

VB is rotten.

avoid syrup and raw egg, preferably drink water till you can't drink any more and andrews or other fizzy powder should do it

The great Scottish cocktail of whisky and Irn Bru works perfectly, one the night before the other the next morning as a cure, you see train loads of fragile people all drinking cans/bottles of Irn Bru every morning to make them presentable when they reach work.

Class swift, avoid raw egg when you've a hangover.

I haven't a cure for a hangover, my advice would be don't sober up while you're awake.

Raw eggs really work something about the white settling your stomach and the yolk giving you protein. I favour 2 sausages bacon chips and beans and lots of sugary drinks like Cherry coke

What's the deal with Irn Bru? I tried it last year and it was horrid! Like drinking liquid bubblegum. eeeeyyyeeeugh. Maybe it's just my weird tastebuds. I also happen to like VB. Though not in combination with Armenian beer and red wine. ;-)

I know it's too late now Al, but for future reference drink at least 1litre of water before you turn out, more if you can manage it.

Not only helps prevent dehydration, but with a gut that full, you won't be tempted to hoy the first few down as if there was no tomorrow.

You might still feel yuk afterwards, but the headache will be missing or won't be nearly as violent.

Cheers everyone - alas, apart from Ciara all the answers came in after I'd left work, knocked back a couple of pints with Nick & then went to my better half's Christmas party. No Armenien beer tonight but it's 345am, I've just got in and I'm pretty hammered. I'll be downing my raw egg first thing tomorrow...... possibly.

Hangovers aside, isn't December just the most wonderful month of the year????

All you need is a huge glass of fresh orange juice and a couple of bananas. Always works for me.
