Few cups of water and an ibuprofen have yet to fail me for curing hangovers. this pills seem a bit gimmicky
I can't wait until I get my hands on this and become into a mindless alcoholic.
[QUOTE=Led Zeppelin;33598225]Isn't mixing aspirin with alcohol really terrible for your liver? Or was that acetaminophen? Or both?[/QUOTE]
Acetaminophen is bad, aspirin less so.
[QUOTE=sp00ks;33595302]not enough water in the world to cure my hangovers[/QUOTE]
That's because you're supposed to drink the water before you experience the hangover, not during.
Personally I find the best way to avoid a hangover is to just never stop drinking.
Hrmm...Making sure you never drink on an empty stomach usually does it for me, and having a bit of water before bed too...But this pill just seems way too pointless.
[QUOTE=farmatyr;33597560]Then you're not doing it right.[/QUOTE]
yeah dude i'm not doing it right
even after the time i drank so much i passed out and woke up in a different part of town
or maybe the time i got alcohol poisoning and ended up in the AE for a couple days yes?
im sure you guys would just keep on chugging right past the point where your organs begin to fail amirite?
some people don't get as hungover as others..i know one other person with the same "no hangover" thing as me so it can't be that uncommen.
forgive me for sounding rude i get a slight drunken douchebag picture whenever someone says "ur not doin it right". its drink ..you drink it ...don't try to sound big by pretending some people don't do it right it just pisses me off

sorry im easily provoked tonight ..been sick for 2 fucking weeks and its still lingering
Heck yes, shared place 2 with Denmark
[QUOTE=JustExtreme;33596524]Meh, know what a better idea would be?
Put funding into researching/formulating a safer recreational drug for the masses that has few negative side effects and where intoxication can be stopped within minutes with an "antidote" pill. That is something I'd like to see.
But, as I've learnt from current drug policy, enjoying yourself or feeling good as a result of using a substance is "IMMORAL" unless it has negative consequences that follow.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Contag;33597355]Most antidotes tend to be profoundly unpleasant.[/QUOTE]
I see, how about a recreational substance that does not cause motor impairment and stimulates only the specific parts of the brain responsible for pleasure/relaxation and not the parts that can when triggered sometimes lead to violence?

The problem is that if you create that, people will abuse the hell of it because it feels good and has virtually no consequences.

I guess the only hope we have is when nanotechnology allows us to experience similar effects to so-called drugs that can be disabled instantly by our government masters and their gestapo for "compliance reasons".

[QUOTE=ScottyTripod;33595032]or you could just drink a few cups of water before bed, always works for me.[/QUOTE]
I always forget to do this
[QUOTE=Canuhearmenow;33600422]That's because you're supposed to drink the water before you experience the hangover, not during.[/QUOTE]
I do. I can easily drink around a litre before bed and I usually drink water during the night as well.
Is this really the first person to think of marketing a painkiller+coffee+"stomach soothing agent" pill as a "hangover cure"? I'd have thought there would be something like this created a lot sooner.
I assume she just has the most powerful FDA lobbyists.
Why don't people just learn to stay hydrated and drink relatively slowly
[QUOTE=Zeke129;33595294]Coconut water.
Seriously. Amazing hangover cure.[/QUOTE]
This. I don't get hang overs since I was introduced to Coconut Water.
[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;33616661]Why don't people just learn to stay hydrated and drink relatively slowly[/QUOTE]
Because that would require people to be sensible.
Is it even good to take painkillers once you've been drinking? You got two blood thinners working at the same time, so I can only suspect it could create some problems. Though, we got something similiar here, basically vitamin supply, along with salt, I believe. Pop two of those into a large glas of water before heading to bed and you're usually good to go the next day.

The fuck man, don't you know about your limits or do you say "fuck dat shit" and continue even though you know that you can't go on much longer.
I haven't been drunk yet, which is probably unusual for someone of my age in this country.
Ha! Screw all this "modern" medicine.

[sp]That is, if I ever get drunk. Which I probably won't.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;33616661]Why don't people just learn to stay hydrated and drink relatively slowly[/QUOTE]
Exactly.
Drink water, retards. A hangover is 90% dehydration.
Zeke's solution is also generally acceptable. Coconut milk is basically a natural energy drink and will restore the electrolytes lost due to dehydration. Coconut milk also has the added bonus of defending your stomach lining, so you can take asprin or ibuprophen and, possibly, suffer less damage to your stomach lining as a result. It is also, however, a mild diuretic, and will potentially make you shit your brains out if you rely on it solely and are sensitive to it. So, uhh, don't do that.
Really though, water is all you need.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the body's salt level get low due to a period of binge drinking?

Which is why eating is also recommended (if you can stomach it)

You see, I always think of this but I never get around to do it.

to be honest the alcohol poisoning was because some fucktard slipped most of a bottle of jack into my drink while i was at the bathroom then when i got back challenged me and a friend to chug our drinks.
also those are the only 2 bad things (and the other side of town was actually kinda fun in a hangover movie kinda way) so only really the poisoning was the only bad thing to happen to me while drinking.
don't act like you never done dumb shit while drunk because i guarantee most of you have way more adventures to tell than i do.
