Yep, I'm in the midst of full blown hangover.
Water,
Footlong steak and cheese subway, crisps and twix.
But the best ,the best hangover cure aside from 'me time' - proven as the final act releases endorphins into the brain - not practical at work...
IS:
Cherry coke!
what is your hangover cure.

MTFU works for me
in all seriousness only a heavy whisky session gives me a hangover and that just makes me really lethargic

Or a bowl of ice cream, but that's harder to come by in London.
If all else fails, take a deep breath and a big swig from a pint. In that order.
the first one is a chewer that's for sure but after that the pints fly downPurveyor of sonic doom

Sugar and fat. So today it was a bacon roll and coffee, pizza & coke and lots of water. I suffer from pretty bad hangovers - throwing up at some stage the day after drinking isn't unknown. If I'd just stuck to one type of beer last night I'd be ok.

If it's a really awful one, and you're at work or have to actually do stuff, then isostar tablets, the soluble fizzy kind that you pop in a glass of water. They're a brilliant hangover cure.
Alternatives include: Purdeys silver, the non-fizzy lucozade. Fizzy = burps = bad.
Oh and loads of carbs and salty things.
If you're not too worried about the ol' skin cancer, then a sunbed can really help too.
It would be rather amusing for you to pop down to your local LA beach, DDD. I know that might be seen as slightly racist, for which I apologise, I don't mean it nastily and am aware from living with a nigerian girl called Ranti for 4 years that a tan is a universal thing... it would just be really amusing to see the look of confusion on the attendant's face.0 -
Sleep
Dioralyte (not sure if I splet that right - stuff for the squits)

My drinking days are behind me, but on the odd occasion:
-Loads of water
-(if in a hotel) cooked breakfast, tea, toast, no fried slice evil evil yuck
-(if not in a hotel) bacon sarnies, hula hoops and (on one occasion) a fruit scone with blackcurrant jam
-more water (and tea and OJ)
I find white wine is least damaging for the old throbbing brain...cider evil
It's just a hill. Get over it.0 -
exercise is always a good hangover cure.0
-
plain water...lots of.
sugar always makes my hangovers worse...
actually just getting on with the day is better for me than lying around feeling sorry for myself too (is that the MTFU bit...??)
bacon, sausage and egg....
thats it.
when i stopped smoking, i realised that hangovers are not as bad when you don't smoke.Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.

If you can eat that and not throw up, you do not have a proper hangover.
Seriously, the best cure is more booze. If you have 20 pints on night 1, then 6 on day 2,
you'll only get the hangover from the 6.
It only works for a couple of days, then you start shaking and it's not so easy to sleep.0 -

This reminds me of my university days, playing rugby and doing all the associated boozing. I lived with 4 other rugby-playing girls, and we did our fair share of drinking, then drinking again the next day, and the day after that. Beer o'clock rapidly slipped from 6pm to 4pm to 2pm to midday to (at its worst) 10am. All-nighters obviously didn't count under the beer o'clock rules. It was 'necessary' in order to work... honest...
It's amazing I have a liver at all really. Thank god for 8-week terms.0 -

So sweet.
You lived with a Nigerian girl called Ranti... Oh the fun I could have with that....
As for tan, I don't tan... well I do but it would have to be bloddy hot... I don't burn or have ever got sunburn... the brotha's we be strong.
Heat of anykind is like a hangover multiplier. I'm still hungry after my footlong subway and could do with nother can of coke...Food Chain number = 4

this is going to sound a tiny bit odd maybe but what works for me is a Prawn & Mayo sandwich (M&S is best but Tesco/Sainsburys will do at a push) with plain hula hoops or ready salted crisps.0

A plate sized MTFU pill then get yourself back to the scene of the crime, failing that 30 min balls out blast on the bike.

used to take bike to mates house get rather drunk crash at mates house next day groan a bit, drink tea, (lots of) roll down to another mates once assembled head off on to the hills once we'd struggled up a few near vertical climbs and possibly held on to the ground after said hills it seemed to burn off the hangover.

what's that?
I don't get drunk as a rule. I become rather gobby and then fall asleep in a corner. Not good for anyone. As it is I can speak my mind and laugh heartily whilst completely sober so alcohol doesn't benefit me greatly. And sadly I am getting too old to cope with a hangover.Emerging from under a big black cloud. All help welcome0 -
