Good advice. I have had it smeared on my cheekbones just under the eyes. Not a pleasant experience :scared:
Hope you feel better soon. I'm working on my hangover right now if you know what I mean!

I'm no expert (even if I drink, I don't get a hangover, maybe I don't drink that much)
But don't you have not enough water in you after drinking?
So you should either drink lots before bed, or just drink lots now, It won't hurt anyway.
And you'll just have to wait. There's no cure.

good luck

LOL!

My Mum never drinks before 11am (family standard - nullified if catching earlier holiday flight!), so I could NEARLY have been having a lunchtime quoff!

Beechams used to make stuff called Resolve - it was a sort of yellow colour, and you dissolved the salts in water. Most disgustig thing I ever tasted but always worked on hangovers - if you can still buy the stuff, try that!

This is really disgusting, but it always works (hope no one is eating while reading this!!)- actually MAKE yourself be sick - keep retching till you manage it, then give yourself 10 minutes, then have a beer.
Maybe I'm just weird (stop nodding out there!) but it works - even half way through a drunken night out! One good throw and carry on.....

Yep Resolve does work, best to take before you crash out though, or take first thing then go back to bed, its an age thing as well, never ever used to get Hangovers but now always wake up with one after a drink or three.

polyanna

ah the tactical chunder,

effective for reducing the hangover the next day but can be disastrous if chilli vodka has been consumed. the burning is worse than going to the loo after using tiger balm and not washing your hands:scared:

A "tactical chunder" - yes, I like that name for it! The ability to drink 6 pints of Stella, chuck up, and go back for the next 6....!!!!

I'll remember to steer clear of the chilli vodka though!

Strawberry milkshake always does it for me.

If I remember to have it before drinking too, it avoids the need for a tactical chunder.

Magical stuff.

I agree - kind of a "kill and cure". You had to work up the courage to slug it down and that kind of made you forget the hangover a bit, then when the stuff actually went into you the hangover dissolves into a series of grimaces.

Do you still get it?
