New Drug Apparently Cures Hangovers

Yeah, it's called water.

Yup. Can't be hungover if you're in a coma.

It's called teetotaling.

Bah, use "Chasers" (activated vegetable carbon). And, yes, it DOES work....

According to their website, each tablet contains: 500 mg aspirin, 60 mg caffeine, plus other sciencey-sounding things like Acesulfame Potassium, Anhydrous Citric Acid, Aspartame, Docusate Sodium, Flavors, Mannitol, Povidone, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Bicarbonate.

So . . . aspirin helps people with headaches. Whodathunk?

Sounds like an expensive aspirin+coffee+antacid. I get by OK with water, ibuprofen, coffee & toast.

Crack a beer the night before you pass out, drink warm/flat in the morning, chase with an apple = hangover cured.

Placebo? Possibly. Works for me, though.
 
2011-12-08 11:19:49 AM
Isn't there already a painkiller out there that combines aspirin and caffeine? It does work to get rid of headaches, but caffeine can cause really horrible bounceback headaches, so use it with care.

Basically it's Excedrin. Which you won't need if you hydrate the shiat out of yourself before you pass out.
 
2011-12-08 11:21:46 AM
I don't usually get hangovers, then again I rarely get sloppy drunk. I drank a whole bottle of rum a few weeks ago and was up and about the next morning, actually I think I was still little drunk. Either way if it started affecting my day after drinking I would probably not drink.

I got completely blitzed last night on hot sake and 100 proof rum.

Oddly, I had no hangovers this morning.

I can't figure out why.
 
2011-12-08 11:25:44 AM
Or, you could smoke a bowl and drink a glass of water with a couple aspirin.

Yeah, but it's caffeine and aspirin with cool new packaging, so it's better.

Essentially, but with aspirin instead of APAP, and an antacid. Basically a caffeinated alkaseltzer

Maus III: Bah, use "Chasers" (activated vegetable carbon). And, yes, it DOES work....

My friend used to booze like a champ but now he gets hangovers so bad even if he has two or three beers that his doctors thought it was a wheat allergy and when it wasn't they went through all kinds of tests to figure out why.They never did so they told him to lay off for a while and see if it got better. He didn't drink for 6 months then tried a chaser and had two vodka tonics one night. The next day his hangover was so much worse that he shiat the bed. Hopefully I can convince him that these will work and cause it to happen again.

Long story short, if you get hangovers that are so bad you need special hangover cures to help you, you're farked anyways so you might as well keep drinking.

You can't get hungover if you're always drunk.

Came to say this. "Blowfish" is basically Alka-Seltzer with a few added ingredients like sweeteners, etc. Probably tastes like crap.

I was hoping it had something to do with VD.

Agreed. And if I've been drinking Booker's, I add in a hot shower and a 30 minute nap.

oxygen mask and a saline drip.

Screw that. A hangover is a badge of honor. As an Irishman, I'm proud I was able to consume enough alcohol to give me a headache.
 
2011-12-08 11:28:32 AM
There is no cure.

But, egg benedict and more booze is an excellent start.

I am traditionally a bloody mary hangover guy. But, a margarita (made from fresh limes, not a mix) is actually a stellar cure. The heavy influx of ice cold vitamin C, the cleansing sensation of lime, and booze has similar curative properties than the bloody mary, although missing some essentials, it makes up for it by being easier on a dangerously nauseas palate.

Doesn't this story emerge about every year at this time?

Sapper_Topo: I heard about this on the way to work yesterday. Got the law up in arms saying they think it will result in more DUI's

I don't know why they'd be up in arms, they're pulling in a shiat-ton of revenue with they're alcohol laws. Bastages.

come on now. If you folks havent learned how to cure your weekday hangovers yet, you should just stop drinking.

Being a high-functioning alcoholic requires alot of hard work and dedication. Here are a few tips that I use.

C) drink a bottle of water before you go to bed/pass out
2) Drink at least a bottle of water when you wake up
H) eggs make a good breakfast, add in some toast if you want.
5) keep some dayquil handy, it helps.
O) Caffeine is your friend. I use the Monster Rehab (tea+lemonade)
H) You have to train your liver. If you cant keep up with the training, dont do it.

A stool softener. Confirms my belief that a good dump is crucial to eliminating the hangover.

So... analgesic, analgesic booster/diuretic/stimulant, artificial sweetener, fizzing agent/flavor, artificial sweetener, stool softener, flavor, artificial sweetener/diuretic, preservative, preservative, fizzing agent.

Are diuretics and a stool softener really useful to treat hangovers? Usually diarrhea and dehydration go along with my bad hangovers. I just spend the day trying to replace electrolytes and water, though yes, I do still have coffee because coffee is awesome.

I'm no doctor, but I've heard some people have an allergy to booze. they just get drunk much quicker and can't process it as fast, thus they have worse hangovers.

this. years ago I figured out that drinking a tall glass of water before bed cured me of the thumping headaches. 90% of it is dehydration.
 
2011-12-08 11:31:16 AM
At a certain age you learn to take food and other liquids along with your alcohol and the hang over thing stops. Until then, I think you are supposed to experience the pain to remind you that you are dehydrating your body. And that you are young, dumb, and....

I find smoking the bowl while everyone else is drinking very effective.

beer an shots in the morning shower, repeat at lunch and dinner for best results.

\oh it works

Do know people who actually get hangovers? If one of my friends or relatives drank to the point that they were physically ill the next day, I would get them into treatment. When my wife turned twenty-one, she wanted to go to a bar and have her first glass of wine. Well, one glass turned into two, and I was so disappointed in her the next day that I told her that if she ever drank again, I was going to take our son and leave. Thank God she hasn't touched it since then because I would not want to live with someone like that. That's as bad off as I've ever seen anyone, though I can imagine some gutter bums who drink a six pack a night looking even worse. I don't wish any ill on them, it's just that I want them to get help and be healthy.

water + food + 10 mg Oxycodone

10 minutes later you feel like a million bucks. Just don't be dumb and make a habit out of it.

According to their website, each tablet contains:

500 mg aspirin, 60 mg caffeine - OK, you know what those are. 60 mg is maybe half a cup of coffee.

plus other sciencey-sounding things like

Acesulfame Potassium, Aspartame - Artificial sweeteners.

Anhydrous Citric Acid,Sodium Bicarbonate - Science-fair stuff, lemon juice and baking soda. These react to produce carbon dioxide fizz.

Flavors - OK, whatever.

Mannitol - Also used as a sweetener, but it has other medical applications.

Docusate Sodium - this is a laxative.

Povidone - a mostly-inert polymer used as a binder in pills.

Sodium Benzoate - a common food preservative.
