mr2mk1g 10 #3 January 14, 2005 Isotonic drinks and Ibuprofen. You're brain is dehydrated - you need liquids. You're also low on salts and sugars. An isotonic drink is the best way to put these back into your system asap. Ibuprofen is the best way to kill the pain in the mean time. Try and find a non-fizzy isotonic drink if you can... it will help with the pukeing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vt1977 0 #5 January 14, 2005 I can't possibly be dehydrated! I've drunk 2 litres of orange juice and a litre of water this morning already! I also forced down some breakfast - which made me feel really sick. I'm starting on the painkillers now... Last night was such a BAD idea.

mr2mk1g 10 #6 January 14, 2005 Orange juice and water are a very good substitute for an isotonic drink - its a sweet drink full of vitamins diluted with water... you've done good so far... now it's just a case of letting it get to work... sorry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gordy 0 #7 January 14, 2005 I am also suffering with you, but it seemed like a good idea last night! A good mate of mine at the dz has a theory that hangovers can't move quickly, so if you can keep yourself moving then they can't catch up....don't know that I buy it, but when your busy it does seem to lessen it a bit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mouth 0 #15 January 14, 2005 Excedrin make a Quick Tab that works wonders because it has caffeine in it.

mnealtx 0 #16 January 14, 2005 QuoteExcedrin make a Quick Tab that works wonders because it has caffeine in it. Not sure if you can find it there but if you can two of those and even this old woman feels better quickly. I saw something on the news recently about interactions between alchohol and acetominophen. I believe it was something about the possibility of liver damage, but I'm not positive - I'll see if I can find it again. Found a link to a bunch of stuff about acetominophen (tylenol, exedrin, etc) and liver function. Googling "acetominophen alcohol liver" will bring up a laundry list of sites....Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #17 January 14, 2005 You're right - acetominophen and alcohol combined have very much worse effect on the liver than one or the other on their own. People are recomended NOT to take drugs containing acetominophen to cure a hangover. Acetominophen is found in Tylenol in the US, over here it's known as Paracetamol. DON'T TAKE PARACETAMOL FOR A HANGOVER! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #25 January 14, 2005 I have found that if I drink a glass of water for every drink I have while I'm out drinking, I'm fine the next morning. Plus drinking at sea level is easier on my old body.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
