Russethouse Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Depending on the severity of the problem, an Anadin and either toast and marmite or a fry up ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 What always surprises me is that people of a certain age still drink too much and feel off the day after.Not a criticism, just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Water is the key. As much as you can drink before hitting the sack.P.S. Definitely not sparkling water... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 You could follow the advice I read for Christmas parties of not drinking too much in the first place. Drink enough so that you want to dance but not so much that you think you're John Travolta.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Except that John Travolta doesn't fall down when he dances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I invented a hangover cure called The Ming Fizz.Half a pint of grapfruit juice, juice of two lemons and top up with fizzy water - be careful it froths up in the glass.MMMM beautiful.

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 One rule is NEVER to drink coffee. It makes you worse by dehydrating you further.Water before you go to sleep is a good idea.Alternatively, just don't stop drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Having tried lots of things (but not marmite etc as mentioned here), I'm back to a long drink of water after drinking to excess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Wow - we are living in the last days of heavy inebriation! Who wants to be just mildly intoxicated that might be fine for the mediteranians but the Anglo-Saxon way is to get blind drunk.With this 1984 new druggy drink will you be forced to take an antidote as you leave the pub? The drunken meander home is part of the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 My 83 year-old neighbour has an impressive black eye. He says he fell down on the way back from the village pub, 200 yards away, on Christmas Eve. I don't know whether to be impressed or sorry for him.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baypond Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 If you can keep it down - ONE RAW EGG - does the trick, because when you are feeling at your worst the next morning, one thought of the raw egg makes you realise that you don't feel that bad.
