Hangover Cures and Remedies - last resort

Not only did you get extremely drunk, but you cleverly mixed red table wine with cheap, supermarket home brand white wine followed by dark beer, then rum, then tequila, finishing up with port and beer mix right before bed, then you may classify yourself as having a severely bad hangover.

What's the best cure for hangovers that works fast?

This is the work of the dark lord of headaches himself and will be hard to manage. Just remember to drink your vitamin drink before sleeping next time.

If you don’t have any and it's too late and you’re stuck in bed, then you have little choice but to take ibuprofen pain killer(s) or the equivalent.

These seem to be more effective when taken with a can of Coke or Pepsi, quite possible because a sugar laden drink will raise your blood sugar level.

Stagger to your cabinet, down the pill(s) with some water or other drink, go back to sleep and in an hour or two you may be able to get out of bed, gulp down some vitamins and eat some food and start feeling human again.

Otherwise, don't bother, you'll just annoy everyone else, especially if they're feeling bad too.

Of course, taking pills (especially Acetaminophen based ones like Paracetomol) is NOT recommended unless you really have to, as painkillers are metabolised in your liver and your liver will already be busy filtering the poison from your body.

Other painkillers can irritate your stomach which as already taken a bashing from the alcohol. This isn’t good for you at all! Try the more natural cures and remedies first, PLEASE!
