I would figure that salty food would just make you drink more. If you drink more water fine, but if it's booze, no go

The "cure" is not to get one in the first place

That's right! If one drinks, moderation is the key word. The brain cells will thank you!

Ahh yes, the hangover. We can laugh about how bad these things are. Nice that we can legaly harm ourselves in this way.

But if you smoke pot (no hangover BTW) you should go to prison.

Anyone else see the insanity of that?

I still swear by bloody marys and a cold rag on the forehead. Then sleep it off.

One thing that no one advises is more alcohol, the traditional cure known as "hair of the dog that bit you."

While drinking to help a hangover may alleviate the problem of alcohol withdrawal, it can also impair mental functioning, contribute to alcohol addiction and a worse hangover down the road, Dr. Degutis said.

Many experts agreed that the best cure for a hangover was to avoid drinking too much in the first place.

Killjoys ;~D

You know, the only time my handle makes an FR headline is when that damned Scott Peterson trial makes news. Snif. I'd love to have my handle in a story about drinking.

Yeah, and the best way to avoid AIDS is...you know. That doesn't stop them from turning over ever rock looking a cure, for cryin' out loud.

Yeah - but until they do find a cure.... I have been forced into moderation by my age.... I just can't take a night carousing in stride any more.... Lays me out for a whole day.

I want millions in research $$$ to find a cure for this plague! Now! It's the scourge of mankind. Let's all wear beer-colored ribbons until the gubmint gives me enough to conduct research for a cure. When I get it, I'll do like good academics do with their grant money...I'll throw a kegger.

Avoiding a hangover is just too easy! A hangover is simply your body telling you it has been dehydrated due to alcohol consumption.

Before going to sleep, drink a glass of cool water and take two aspirins.

I've never had anyone tell me this doesn't work - and it has worked every time for me when I had one too many.
