Poor Ells   I havent been wrecked for years, but I have had one too many recently, and one of the bests cure for heartburn is water...  Drink about 2 glasses if you can - (or about a pint.)  That will dampen down heartburn.  And also try some nurofen plus and although it sounds daft; some sickness tablets like quells or stugeron to take away the pukey nauseaous feeling.  Hope you feel better soon.

hahahaha

 

welcome to the beginning of becoming an old fart!!!

 

It really does get to the point where you daredn't get lashed anymore cos the hangovers are just not worth it.

 

Last really proper one I had was a few years ago...   a bender that ended in shots of absynthe (what was I thinking)..   the hangover had me begging for death for 4 DAYS!!!!

 

Then 2 years ago there was my BILs wedding in Poland..   VERY messy..    (in Poland it is tradition that a bottle of vodka per couple is put on the table)..    I have to say... cos I drank pure vodka shots and nothing else..   that hangover was quite quick (only a day)..  

 

the fallout from the actual night however...   that still lives on to this day 

 

 

Only advice I can give you for now is the usual..    loads of water, paracetamol for the headache..  & Berroca seems to help too.  (& makes your wee day glo yellow!)

Hope you feel better soon Ells  Hangovers are CRAP .


I didn't know that.  I will add that to my list of hangover cures.  Thanks noseyrosie. 

 

Re what DITTY said ^^^... Yep, as you get older, you feel worse and worse if you drink too much.  Since I hit my early 40s, I can't take my drink like I used to!

I haven't got anything mentioned here except paracetamol so I'll have a few of those and back to bed.  The thought of drinking water makes me heave but I love cold milk with a straw when hungover so hopefully that helps.

 

I'm feeling very sorry for myself here but there's not a hope in hell it will make me stop drinking  

 

Strawberry cider, wkd, sambuca and some orange tasting petrol shot wasn't a good mix.

My brother told me that Sparkles  If you're a party-er always keep some KP nuts and a banana handy. I also agree that it worse as you get older.

Oh my!  Absinthe is pretty notorious.

I had a similar experience but it was tequila shots. I never drank tequila again.

I can't even think about tequila without feeling queasy..    the smell of it alone makes me wretch.

 

All cos of a couple of hols with the girls to the Canaries...   the touts get you into the clubs with tokens for free tequila's..     the hangovers felt like an axe through the head.

Right I've had a snooze and I feel loads better  I must have looked a right sight this morning when the Sky man came coz when I looked in the mirror my eyes were black, my false eyelashes were covered in glitter (HOW???) I hadn't washed my make up off before bed so I was streaked everywhere and my hair looked like I'd been dragged through a bush backwards.  I had only just got up when he arrived so hadn't even thought to check a mirror   Once he left I took the tablets and milk and tied some tights round my head and went to bed.

 

Need something nice to eat now and that's me sorted!

Hangover cures and remedies

 

Hangover image from lolhome.com

Hangover cures – ah, we know them well. After countless mornings of waking up to find ourselves in a fresh new form of hell, we’ve decided to provide our guide to hangover cures and remedies based on myths, using our bodies as guinea pigs, science and fiction*. So without further adieu, here’s the recipe for our very own Bar Zine Hangover Cure:

Throw two chopped bananas, two cups of milk, honey, a shot of vodka, a dash of bitters, a few shakes of Tabasco and Worcester sauce (don’t be shy) into a blender and squelch. If you’re lazy you can just use orange juice instead of bananas and milk, as oranges contain potassium that helps reduce the morning-after jitters. If you’re really lazy, you can ditch the other ingredients and just suckle on the vodka bottle – but hey, let’s at least pretend to be responsible here.

The wobbly science** behind the shake is:

  • The bitters soothe the stomach
  • Juice contains C and B vitamins that supposedly break down the residual toxins in the stomach and give an energy boost (as people who use Berocca can testify). It also has fructose, which helps metabolize alcohol
  • The vodka provides the hair of the dog – doctors won’t recommend this but it certainly takes the edge off
  • Chilli releases endorphins and has historically been known to act as a pain reliever and hangover cure
  • Bananas contain the electrolytes magnesium and potassium, which the body loses after the frequent trips to the loo that alcohol brings on.
  • Honey contains potassium and fructose
  • Milk apparently relaxes the blood vessels, thus easing headaches
  • Worcestershire sauce â€Ķ ok, there’s not a single shred of scientific evidence to show this works. None – and I searched for it. But it is a traditional hangover cure and contains so much goodness that it must help. Right? Right?

'Course you are

 

How's your head doing, Ells?  Ready for some old skool techno, strobe lighting and a few Drambuie shandies yet.....?

Cosmopolitan

A hamgover is one thing ........................many, many tried and tested remedies - Heartburn is some thing else.

 

Please believe me ZANTAC is the only way to go - Gaviscon and Rennies PAH! .................Zantac goes right to the source - doesn't do all the pussy footing soothing stuff - it cuts the acid DEAD IN IT'S TRACKS - might be a bit more expensive but ............it really is the most effective IMO!

 

 

Glad you're feeling better incidentally but - you have nothing to lose in investing in a pack of Zantac!
