fudd 0 #752 October 25, 2002 One thing that is great for hangovers is isotonic sports drinks like XL1 or simular. They are designed to quickly repair dehydration, which is what really causes much of the hangover symptoms. There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scratch 0 #754 October 25, 2002 Quote I'll have another beer." Tell me about it. The thing is beer always gives me a huge hangover. I usually get pissed on something with more sugar in it. Rum and Coke being a favorite. Last night it was beer....thank fuck it was not red wineNow I am just waiting for the medication to kick in. Paracetamol in this case.

Like fudd said, pretty much of the hangover is caused by dehydration, so I try to remember to drink a lot of something non-alcoholic before going to bed after a night out. Half a liter of apple juice is a common choice for me, and another half a liter if I happen to wake up in the middle of the night. Really works wonders.
