If I suspect I'm going to have a hangover, I eat three or four chocolaty candy bars just before going to bed.  Always works for me.  NO hangover, no matter how much I drink.

hangover is the bodies reaction to shock dehydration. alcohol replaces the water in your blood stream.\nthis causes the muscles to ache because they are not getting water (including the brain).\n\nto cure a hangover before you go to bed drink a 16-24 oz bottle of water. put another bottle of water and/or gatoride/poweraide next to the bed to chug as soon as you wake up. if you wake up to pee during the night get a drink of water or juice before going back to bed each time.\n\nin the morning take 2 tylenol & chug the other bottle of water - then follow up with a breakfast which includes juice or watery fruit like oranges, grapefruit or melon.

Being a retired mental health practitioner with 20+ years experience, I can tell you from all that psychiatric and counseling care I provided that one who is diagnosed as having a bipolar disorder SHOULD NOT be "getting hammered", if by that you mean drunk from alcohol or other drugs, whether they are on medication or not.  Alcohol and other "street drugs" offer no long term remedy from a long term illness.  Contrarily, they offer only severe cyclic affective disorders which only exacerbates the problem.  I have had clients who came to our clinic who have used alcohol to "self-medicate" their bi-polar disorder, but finally turned to a regimented care since they could not control their alcoholic intake and the destruction caused by self-medicating with alcohol and other illegal drugs really made a mess of things.  I hope I have made this clear for you without being too wordy.  God Bless you.

My daughter suffered from severe migraines including vision loss, blacking out, fainting, tunnel vision and vomiting.  We were never able to find relief for her and I'm not sure the medical world actually has anything to cure this.  She tried everything.\nWe then found an all natural product that has medical validation that she decided to try.  She has not had even a mild headache since starting this and no longer worries about fainting at work.  This is an adaptogen which works on all auto-immune deficiencies and we have found it works when nothing else did!  Contact me if you would like to learn more about it.

I have heard of a LOT of solutions/home remedies people did and got sick from, and they didn't work, advising you about this is just a warning, if you know where to get supplies for the habit, you know where to find the solution for it to be untraced in urine, these supplies are costly, and most of these items are tested for as well as thc, nothing is failproof, thc will remain in hair and can always be traced back to how long it's been consumed, how much was consumed etc.  Another friend JUST told me.. advise "The Extra Stuff" drink found in most hippie stores, whatever that means

Be proactive. Don't drink so much, or drink more water while you are drinking alcohol. Then the hang over won't be as bad.

Herbal therapy. Period. \n\nI could talk for days and days about this subject, but due to the fact that I have limited time at the moment and no one really wants to read a year's worth of typing (lol) I'll keep it short.\n\nFirst of all, drugs and surgery cause illness. The FDA, USDA, FTC, etc. all profit from the profits of the pharmaceutical companies. Because natural cures cannot be patented, meaning no profits, drug companies want to scare people from turning to them.\n\nNot only do natural remedies have no side effects, they are 100% natural and healthy. All drugs are chemicals and unnatural, yet millions--billions really--of people believe that these are better to put into your body rather than something that the earth naturally provides. \n\nLook at animals. Do they ever get heart burn? How about diabetes? Cancer? Nope, nope, nope. Now, of course, we are talking about wild animals. Pets that you give drugs and crappy, chemically altered food to are just as unhealthy as the humans who choose deadly chemicals over the natural cures.

Drink plenty of water. Drinking water between drinks is also a great way to prevent the ailing morning-after effects. To help avoid a hangover, try to eat or snack before or while drinking.\nNow if these suggestions didn't work or if you didn't follow these tips, here's how to handle the morning-after hangover: The symptoms you're feeling post-drinking are signs of dehydration caused by the alcohol. That's why you must rehydrate yourself by drinking a lot of water when you get up. \nRehydrating your body is the key to recovering from the hangover, and this cannot be stressed enough. You can even put some lemon in your water, it'll help soothe your stomach and will add vitamin C. \n\nWhen drinking water, avoid water that is extremely cold or hot; drink water at room temperature.\n\nginger ale\n\nIf you don't want to drink water, try a glass of flat ginger ale, which helps soothe your stomach. \n\njuice\n\nJuice is also a good idea; vitamin C will help give you the energy you'll need.\n\nobey your thirst\n\nSports drinks such as Gatorade have been known to work for some people.

Dehydration is what causes a hang over.  Alcohol sucks the nutrients out of your body and gives you no real nutritional value.  I would suggest before going to bed to drink Gatorade or some other electrolyte drink (Powerade, Altima, Energy Water).  This will slowly start to replenish you, though if you drank a lot, you'll need more.\n\nBe sure to drink a lot of water throughout the day and eat some bread (which will absorb some of the alcohol).  Nutritious food through out the day will also help.\n\nIf you feel really, really sick the night before, you could always throw up, drink some gatorade, sleep a lot, you're more likely to wake up refreashed.

I'd rather get laid and deal with a hangover than deal with a rejection.  Those suck worse than hangovers!

I like excedrine PM, but have also used valerian root which is available on the vitamin aisle at most drug stores.  Both help me fall asleep, stay asleep and I don't wake up with that hung over feeling in the morning.

Tylenol lasts for 4 hours in your system.  Never take it within 24 hours of drinking, it can cause extreme damage for your liver.  All a hangover is is dehydration.  To avoid a hangover, always drink a few large glasses of water before going to bed, as well as the next morning.

exactly  the  opposite.\n\nif you heard that alcohol causes hypoglycaemia , you are mistaken. the hangover effects of alcohol are due to neuroglycopenia   which means decreased sugar in the brain  not  the whole circulation.\n\na  major cause of morbidity  from d.m.   is  diabetic  lypodystrophy     ( abnormal fat metabolism associated with diabetes mellitus) the  main charecteristics of which  are \n                 raised tryglycerides\n                 decreased  hdl  (good) cholesterol .\n\nalthough  regular intake of small amounts of wine has been shown to raise  hdl(good) cholesterol  , the overall effect of alcohol is detrimental  as it increases the triglycerides which  have been linked to cardiovascular disease.\n\nmy advice :\ntake very small amount of wine (nothing stronger ) every day if you have too , but its better to avoid.\n\nconcentrate on trying to solve the root problem of diabetes which is  burning  the sugar   by  \n                          strict regulation of food  and diet\n                          exercise exercise exercise exercise exercis\n                               cant stress this enough.\n                              (REMEMBER  always have pieces of candy at hand when doing severe exercise to take as emergency lifesaver  should your blood sugar go  too low, especially if you are on  insulin shots.)
