So I'm reaaaally hungover.
I decided to go look up some hangover cures, and I was wondering what you guys do when ya'll have a bad hangover. I read that eating pickles helped so I just had a pickle and that seems to have helped some. Of course water and fruit juices help as well, but I've noticed that apple juice actually makes my hangovers worse. Share your hangover remedies!

I don't need remedies, I just drink like 2 glasses of water before I sleep and I'm fine in the mornings, without water it suuuuucks.

Yeah if I eat and drink water before bed I generally don't get a hangover. But last night I didn't drink water, I had two monsters and a lot of beer. lol

Before you go.. eat rice.. A lot of it.. Or potatoes.. Or pasta.. Or something that is high in carbs and takes a while to digest.
I was in London in the summer and a guy recommended me taking vitamin B and C pills before you start drinking and before you go to sleep. Never tried it myself but I might do sometime.
I find the best cure is sweating it out a bit with a run.. might seem like crap at the start but when the air starts filling your head and the blood starts flowing through your body you do feel remarkably better afterwards. And of course the usual people tell you to do.. Drink water..

The best thing to do is, as others have said, to drink plenty of water before bed, and take a few activated charcoal pills. The next morning you will have 0 hang-over! However, if you take any kind of medication, you can't take it with the charcoal because it will soak up the meds and it will have no effect.

Back in my younger, crazier days I used to start drinking again as soon as I would wake up feeling like garbage. The first one is super tough to get down, but after that it gets much better. Then you have the whole day to mitigate the hang-over when it starts coming back as you sober up lol.

That's what the charcoal is for! In fact, there was some product sold a few years back that claimed to completely prevent hangovers if you took 2 pills as you started drinking, and then 4 more before bed. They sold in packs of 12 for like...$15. All they were was activated charcoal; the same thing you can get in healthfood stores for about $10 for 100 or more. They work because charcoal absorbs and binds to materials in your system. Since you get a hangover due to toxicity created by the alcohol, the charcoal basically absorbs it and flushes it out of your system. The only thing is you have to think ahead and take them the night before. Once you wake up the next day with the hangover, they would probably have minimal effect.

I might not be the older or most experienced feller to be talking about this. but something my brother had me and my sister do was too take Tylenol before we fell asleep/passed out. i didnt have much so a hangover wasn't probably gonna happen anyway, but my sister had a good 3 shots of vodka, + a couple mixed ones and she woke up completely fine.
