With the 'necessary' pub threads I think (or should that be 'hope for bar owners'?) that we should also discuss some of the rather interesting 'after' effects and how to prevent them. www.livescience.com/36934-interesting-facts-hangovers-causes-prevention.htmlBTW nothing really new here. In a recently translated papyrus from the 2nd Century it says "The alcohol victim would have strung together leaves from a shrub called Alexandrian chamaedaphne (Ruscus racemosus L.), possibly wearing the strand around the neck, the text revealed." |

Can't open that link but alternating a drink with a drink of water in between is a good idea. Last time I was legless was a couple of years ago in Qatar at the Sheraton, was doing tequila and beer chasers, threw up after the third lot but was a fun night.
I rarely touch spirits so that may have been why and the headache and general feeling of offness the next day horrible. Craved a burger or pizza with heaps of bacon but being a Muslim nation had to settle for turkey pastrami pizza left overs. Paracetamol and sleep worked it off and a couple of Vitamin B tabs. Mixing drinks is a no no too. I have a friend who can drink anyone under the table, industrial strength stomach he has guess it's about alcohol tolerance some people can and some get severely hung over.

Ideally when I am that badly hungover I am in Budapest. A session of thermal bathing and a nap does wonders. When in Thailand I just drink water and sleep it off. Making a effort not to get in that state so much as a Thai New Year resolution.

Gatorade is supposed to be one of the best to replenish what the alcohol deprives the body of.....
Only drink about once a month and never/rarely if ever had/have hangovers.....
Bottle trouble runs in the family so I keep the participation level way down......

I have posted this remedy before on the "other" forum, and I believe it is well worth sharing with you worthy people.
After a big night out on the San Miguel I crawl out of bed and mix half a glass of orange juice with 3 heaped teaspoons of glucose powder. Within half an hour I usually feel like I had little to drink the night before. Works a treat for me. Something to do with quickly replacing the glucose level in your body after a night on the turps.
Can of glucose powder from most pharmacies, like Boots, is about 90 baht.

www.livescience.com/36934-interesting-facts-hangovers-causes-prevention.htmlNo problem on my notebook with Windows 8.1 and Opera 28, IE11 gives a warning about 'silverlight used being out of date' but still displays the page(s) correctly. No other browsers tried. PS I use a trueMove SIM in an AeoroSurf USB stick for my Internet connection, so access from Thailand should not be blocked.

Drinking water or cordial prior to retiring for the evening always works for me. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of not being able to have a sip of water, let alone a couple of glasses, lemonade and a banana or yoghurt the next day do the trick-even though either one is probably the last thing you want to consume after a big night on the turps.

Banana is actually the smart move as it will replace the potassium you have p**sed away. A smoothie is good....followed by a bacon roll...then its just water and rest. |

You forgot to mention the two paracetomal. |

True, but those vodka jellos they serve up at bars in LKF don't taste alcoholic as part of a fruit platter and they creep up on you sneaky little things.
