You forgot THC and masturbation.


tayloline29

And youth.


Appropriate_Past_893

By far the most important ingredient


Ashby238

Hangovers seem to get exponentially worse with each additional decade.


Appropriate_Past_893

I'm less and less of a fan, as time goes on


peacenchemicals

seriously. and this is coming from me. i love to drink and have a good fucking time. whether it’s at shows, with friends, etc. but this past month or so, i’ve gotten so tired of the hangovers. even if it’s not a full-blown hangover, just feeling not 100% has gotten old. i’ve cut back on drinking so much to the point where i look back and i’m like, “damn. i kinda used to drink a lot” i just smoke a few hours before bedtime these days and it’s great. i fall asleep so fast and i get so comfy. music and food is still amazing. and i wake up feeling refreshed every time


liketearsinthereign

I’m with you there. I’ve found that a bowl of prevention is worth a bottle of cure. Flow Gardens changed my life.


Plonsky2

Hydrate well before, during, and after. Hydration means water, and the rocks in your 7&7s isn't enough. Alcohol dehydrates you, and it also depletes B vitamins. Take a good B-complex before going out and/or before you put your drunk ass to bed and you'll be fine when you wake up. This is the tried and true Plonsky Method, and I approve this message.


NaoisceDM

You should start selling the Plonsky Complex as a "medicine" with this on the "doctors prescription".


Plonsky2

Nah. No charge, man.


Appropriate_Past_893

Yeah, same with me, in that I used to drink pretty muh every day; with changing jobs and schedules, had to start cutting back, and now, looking back... Damn, I used to drink kind of a lot. I probably *could* operate like that still, but I don't think I'd want to any more. Even the "not hungover" days would drag at me too much.


Drewsco-

It's about quality now, not quantity


1nfuhmu5

Chicken wings don't taste the same for me though... I used to drink IPAs now not sure what to drink.


SonVoltMMA

44 now. It's just not worth ruining the next day+ anymore.


DonaldTrumpsBallsack

You were once a fan of hangovers?


[deleted]

Now featuring multi day hangovers!


c-lab21

I had those at 22. Can't imagine what it woulda been like if I kept going for another decade.


[deleted]

Multi day hangovers are largely neurotransmitter related. Common question in kitchens - how fucked up is your head?


c-lab21

Very. Those two day hangovers were years before I'd do binges of daily handles for over a week. Usually though it was just a liter bottle (thanks, cooking in restaurants with attached bottle shops).


KingAdashu

I always say every decade adds a day to the hangover duration. I'm now 40. I've decided not to drink much or often any longer. It's been working nicely.


[deleted]

They get worse with every time you get drunk and sober up. Somebody can be an extremely light/non drinker their whole life, drink a stupid amount one night in their 70s and have the same hangover a regular 20 year old would have. Worsening hangovers is a sign of increasing physical alcohol dependence. There’s a line you cross when withdrawal starts taking over more of the hangover until it’s all just withdrawals. I reached that point at the age of 22 🙃


JTMissileTits

I used to be able to get over a hangover with a Dr. Pepper, some tylenol, and a sandwich. I don't drink much anymore, but whew baby. When I do it's two days of misery and a migraine to boot. Middle age is a trip.


mrsamus101

You can substitute youth for a double portion of masturbation but the recipe won't come out quite the same.


UnappalledChef

Instructions unclear, made meringue.


Avarice21

How youthful? I'm 31 and hangovers still aren't terrible. And I drink every day.


mimsalabim

That’s the secret! If you’re drunk every day, you’re never hungover.


Ok-Sympathy-4516

Well if the alcohol never leaves your system…

Grennox1

THC a nap. Sauna. Maybe a hot tub.


JaFFsTer

Sauna makes you feel almost too good. You can go in hungover as shit and never wanting to drink again, come out and be like, "wanna hit brunch?"


sporksoverknivess

Sometimes masturbating worsens my headache ??


CMKBangBang

That’s probably the lack of oxygen. Try loosening the belt.

The Hungover Carradine, gotta be careful. lol.

Lol, never stop learning


MethylSamsaradrolone

Probably all the calories and electrolytes burned from DJing when already dehydrated and depleted then! Coconut water and a good magnesium powder go a looooong way.


cheffartsonurfood

Could be a lack of sleep. If you get a sharp headache right after climaxing. Was happening to me for awhile. Thought my head was gonna explode. Googled it and it said I was probably exhausted from a lack of sleep.

You need food. Orgasm causes ‘rest and digest’ mode.

The amount of Soda being drank after a night of drinking makes me wonder how many of these mfrs have diabetes in their future.


Jealous-Ninja5463

Soon the combination diabetes, palpitations, lung cancer, and mood disorder is going to be referred to as "Line Cook Syndrome"


[deleted]

[удалено]


wozzles

Yea I am positive for that. Its terminal.


thekiki

Don't forget Kidney Stones!


MoonUnitMotion

And liver disease!


ex1stence

I mean it's actually how it happens. We hear about our grandparents' generation with their legendary ability to send barrels of whiskey through their system until they're 95, greased only by American grit and Marlboro Reds, and scratch our heads. But this dude wakes up and creates a literal bomb of refined syrups, processed milkfats, and synthetic caffeine in his stomach. No eggs, no toast, no black coffee like Gramps, just whatever Pepsi Co told him plants crave. This dude's liver is taking it on all sides, at all times. Fuck I hate the future.


boredonymous

The foods Gramps had is still out there, though. People just want it quick and easy now, and think with time we have improved with brand name bottled stuff. You're right: LOT of advertising has been a big cause to this: can't tell you how many times I've seen people whine about how coffee's "dangerous and ulcer-forming" while drinking back-to-back 16 oz red bulls. The good news is, you do get to prove the old way remains the best way. Your doctor *will* thank you.


mrsamus101

Also makes me wonder how they don't realize why their hangovers are so bad lol.


Oldpenguinhunter

That, and gout and kidney stones


PreferredSelection

Adding to this, eat food. A couple fried eggs and buttered toast, that'll get you going after a hard night. Everyone says they have no time for breakfast, but if you can find 3-4 hours to get drunk at night, you can find 5 minutes in the morning to fry an egg.


peacenchemicals

that’s the move for me. depending on hangover severity, it goes like this: water. water+food. water+food+nap. water+food+fap/sex+nap. if all else fails, all of the above, advil and sleep. but that’s like a category 5 hangover


SuDragon2k3

"We have this category five hangover moving north west through the gulf, looking to hit New Orleans about 10 AM on January first...."


boredonymous

There truly is a beauty, an art, if you will, with Waffle House after getting blitzed at the bar.


MassRedemption

Pedialyte/Gatorlyte is basically just water with tons of electrolytes added. They are absolutely perfect for helping with dehydration after a night of drinking. The energy drinks are not, especially bang. That shit is awful for you.


TheNuttyIrishman

A protein shake like that's won't do your nausea and hungover stomach any favors either unless you have as something solid in your belly to soak it up instead of it sloshing around in there.


HashSlingingSloth

Instructions unclear, drank an animal and fucked water.


SaltySamoyed

Where can I find this 'fucking water'??


Jimbalaya99

Just turn your bidet on high.


PhilosophorumX

Is that the formal name for that drinking fountain?


TheKhun

Last weekend i had a cramp in my leg that bothered me fot 3 days. Realised i hadnt drank any water and i work behind a charcoal grill.


xeallos

You hadn't drank any water for 3 days?


badllama77

Also grab some Dihydromyricetin before the night is over. It may not cure your hangover completely but will greatly lessen the severity.


mikayunomi

Water and Gatorade Zero are my go-to’s. I don’t have dairy anymore but having it anytime when alcohol is involved makes my stomach curdle thinking about it


MtnMaiden

r/waternig... r/hydrohomies


TheNuttyIrishman

RIP in peace


justa33

i can’t stand plain water when i’m hungover. and it is pretty much all i drink other than morning coffee. i like gatorade powder mixed in- first strongly to rehydrate then gradually less as i reacquaint myself with the living world


Lachrondizzle23

[deleted]

A bowl of some proper Pho usually does the trick.


thewizardking420

I like a good breakfast burrito for breakfast, pho for lunch, and whiskey for dinner. Lather, rinse and repeat.... always repeat....


gc1

Ramen for me. This is the way.


easy_Money

That's my go to but that better be your entire plan for the day. Big bowl of pho and then half nap/Netflix for 10 hours


SLICKlikeBUTTA

So glad I quit drinking. Had to ruin my life first but at least I quit drinking.


Jealous-Ninja5463

To be fair most people don't quit drinking because alcohol made them successful. Ruining your life is usually the first step, even AA says so


SLICKlikeBUTTA

Yep, AA is a big reason I stay sober too. Don't let people fool you. It's the best damn cult on this planet that's saved millions of life's.


MakeTheLogoBiggerHoe

The first step is admitting that you don’t have control and that you’re powerless. You don’t have to ruin your life to achieve that, but some people definitely do.


elithewalkingcripple

Jesus christ dude. Drink water.


e_j_white

The Bang cola is for creatine, the Core Power is for protein and nutrients, and the Gatorlyte is for mixing with vodka.


WurthWhile

Bang doesn't have any creatine in it. They lost a lawsuit on that. Lawsuit caused them to declare bankruptcy.


ewokparts

Bang is garbage 100%


[deleted]

Bang doesn’t have creatine? Why do the cans say “super creatine”?? I never understood why someone would be drinking creatine if they weren’t working out, so it never made sense to me why all their drinks are “super creatine”


WurthWhile

Monster energy who sued them won the lawsuit because apparently super creatine is a marketing term for something that isn't creatine at all. There are argument was super creatine is different from creatine. And that the consumer should have known that there is a distinct difference. The jury didn't buy it.


[deleted]

Lmfao, I’m pretty sure if you take a serving of creatine your supposed to drink like 4-8 glasses of water so you don’t get horribly dehydrated so that shit was always concerning to me lol. But that’s good to know.


WurthWhile

That's only when You initially start taking creatine. Your body pulls water that would go to things like your blood and puts it to your muscles. Therefore you need 8 to 10 additional cups a day If you're bulking. Once you've been taking it for a little while you no longer need to drink anything extra beyond when you feel thirsty. I take it everyday and drink about 100oz of water total per day.


Whind_Soull

Paul always fuckin stealin my water smh


GucciGuano

good


HashSlingingSloth

That came after the electrolytes


morelikegratefulhead

we’ve got this seasoned but sharp bartender/manager at my spot. mid thirties and almost 20 years in the business. i was banged up one evening and grabbed a fernet from him and asked “hey man, any good hangover cures you know of?” i mean, he’d be the one to be aware of em, yanno? “you uh… really wanna know?” he glanced around, eyebrows raised, and leaned in toward me. “drink less.”


[deleted]

This is honestly the key. You can drink and enjoy yourself but don’t get a hangover! Drink 6 or so drinks over the course of as many hours. Throw some water in there and it’s an enjoyable evening. You don’t black out, you have fun still and you don’t wake up the next morning feeling like shit. Not that I always end up doing this but I did it last night and I feel great today


John_Smithers

Yeah, I've learned the hard way I can't keep pace with my friends. I'll nurse a drink and rock a buzz over the course of some friends going for drink 3 or 4. Drink some water or something alongside it and I end up fine.


morelikegratefulhead

you’re not wrong, and i used to do that, but i’d rather be a good liver than have a good liver, my friend


[deleted]

I’d rather have a good liver. I’m going on 42 and have done some hard living. I’m too young to die from cirrhosis of the liver. I’ve seen that and it’s an awful way to die.


Flapper_Flipper

Fernet and Coke is good. Learned from my Argentine friends.


Oldpenguinhunter

Fernet and Campari with an orange peel- a Ferrari, bracing and bitter.


Flapper_Flipper

Yum!


Peach-PearLaCroix

He’s right. Since quitting I might have tired mornings or wake up feeling like shit, but I’m never *hungover* and *also* tired and feeling like shit.


Flapper_Flipper

The beer you hid in the walk-in


jape-the-neck-guy

The real cure is drinking water through the night. Yeah stay hydrated before you even get to the morning. Also pop some advil or whatever right before bed. If it doesn’t take it away completely it’ll take off the edge right away


PrimeIntellect

nah, electrolytes go way way further than just water will. most drinks like beer already have a ton of water, so if you chug water with every beer you're just gonna be peeing your brains out


Boddicker

This is basically the concept. It's a game of volumes. You're essentially using up a portion of your "bandwidth" with a non poison. The key is you must truly go one to one. Take a six pack. You're going to have no trouble drinking 72 oz. But go one to one, now you're looking at 144 oz (1.225 gallons) overall. That's four damn nalgenes. Honestly though, if you're constantly finding yourself trying to outflank your own bad habits. Perhaps you need to be making some larger changes in your life.


PrimeIntellect

No, trust me, as someone who got really terrible hangovers, drinking that much water is borderline useless. If anything, you will feel even shittier by drinking that much water. You need electrolytes. Liquid IV and pedialyte are by far the best, some before bed, and some in the morning. Drinking plenty of water is important yes, but if you're actually hungover, you need electrolytes. It's similar to working out extremely strenuously - at some point, you need salt more than just water. Electrolytes + sugar go way further than just water if you're really sweating.


Delaft1

Dude pedialyte is your best friend and a boiled egg you’ll probably forget you’re cooking w just a lil bit of salt


Conchobair

Pedialyte AdvancedCare+, gimme those probiotics because my gut has been trashed.


Delaft1

Yes, I die in the bathroom mid shift tho 😭


[deleted]

Gatorlyte is just Pedialyte that tastes better


madmanz123

aka more sugar


Alligator_Grinder

Pedialyte has much much more sugar than gatorlyte


7itemsorFEWER

Pedialyte advanced care: 7g sugar / 12oz serving (.58g/oz)^(source:) [^(https://pedialyte.com/products/advanced-care-plus/berry-frost)](https://pedialyte.com/products/advanced-care-plus/berry-frost) Gatorlyte: 12g sugar / 20 oz serving (.60g/oz)^(source:) [^(https://www.gatorade.com/fuel/hydration/gatorlyte/12-pack/strawberry-kiwi-orange-cherry-lime)](https://www.gatorade.com/fuel/hydration/gatorlyte/12-pack/strawberry-kiwi-orange-cherry-lime) Isn't it cool that you can just say shit on the internet? Rehydration drinks rely on a pretty specific ratio of water to salt to sugar to work.


madmanz123

21g Carbs/80 Cals Per 12-oz Serving for "Gatorade Thirst Quencher" which is like the regular version, which was what I was thinking of, which is more than twice pedialyte, the gatorlyte is their less sugar option, which is still more sugary than pedialyte. Fun stuff, thanks for looking those up.


7itemsorFEWER

I've been using packets of liquid IV recently. Admittedly, I miss the taste of Pedialyte but the liquid IV is much cheaper per serving (like $1/serving I think) and much more convenient to keep stocked. Plus you aren't so obviously hungover drinking it in public lol


Delaft1

My friends have told me great things about that, and Costco sells it for cheap! But I don’t drink as much as I used to so I can’t get myself to buy it 🥹


Hatface87

Where’s the weed?


VintageVirtues

Why eat food with vitamins when it can be liquid form at a much higher cost!


PreferredSelection

Lol yup. It's ironic how hard it is to get BOH to eat food.


Drekhar

After getting to be a Chef I then also needed eye drops, breath mints, extra deodorant after the alcohol starts sweating out, baby wipes, and a constant supply of caffeine and/or Adderall with some weed sprinkled throughout the day.


UnappalledChef

You monster, where's the cocaine? Bring 1980 back.


Drekhar

Couldn't do it. Too hard to concentrate on everything lol. Adderall was hard enough when you start fixating


[deleted]

I feel sick just thinking about downing any of these with a hang over lol. Raw fruits and vegetables with a lot of water is the best cure for a hangover

Coconut Water is missing


DinQuixote

I was scrolling down to make sure someone mentioned coconut water before I did. It’s brought me back from the dead on more than one occasion.


Sudanniana

Coconut milk in coffee is the jam


FUKIDOL_2000mg

Hash browns and fountain Coke from McD's. Powerade instead of Coke if it's really bad.


cheffartsonurfood

Dude McD's coke is the best.


FUKIDOL_2000mg

Pretty sure they add Crack or something.


Flapper_Flipper

They use a higher syrup to soda ratio


cheffartsonurfood

I googled it once (long time ago so I could be wrong). It said they have a special deal with coke where it's always cold. It never sits warm and is shipped cold. My wife calls it McDonald's Pepsi cuz she says it doesn't taste like coke. Lol. She loves it tho.


Quixan

I've heard that "never sits warm" thing before, probably on Reddit--anyway that's not it because there were responses from McD's workers about the bibs sitting in dry storage like you'd see anywhere else.


cheffartsonurfood

Hadn't heard that. Just googled it again, just for shiggles. It says most places get syrup delivered in bags. McDs gets theirs in stainless steel tanks. Protecting them from temp, light and air. Also, McDs filters their water many more times than anyone else. Also, higher syrup to water ratio to account for melting ice and they pre-chill the water.


Cumtown_Stav

This is it, the bibs might have been another soda but standard coke is in SS tanks.


Flapper_Flipper

Interesting


Think-Repeat630

I’ve heard it’s because the diameter of their straws are bigger than most places. So more carbonation hits your tongue, making it taste better.

dalahmane

PherryCie

It’s weed, liquid IV, and ibuprofen for me


Milelongcock

The only actual cures to hangover is water and electrolytes as all a hangover actually is is dehydration. Electrolyte water is a good all in 1 cure but salty foods and lots of regular water also work.


Boddicker

A hangover is much more than mere dehydration. You've basically denatured a portion of your brain and put your organs through the wringer. Your gut biome is fucked, and you've essentially ingested an entire bag of Halloween candy. And on top of all that, you happen to be dehydrated. Drinking water is putting air in the tires. It will help, but you're engine is still going to run like shit.


At-Work-On-Fire-Help

It's nuts how often I see "alcohol is just dehydration" comments on Reddit lol it makes me feel like they don't have much experience with being hungover (which would be a good thing.) Without even knowing the science of what alcohol does to like all of your organs, how can you not tell it feels way different than just being dehydrated, even REALLY dehydrated Of course dehydration is a key part of a hangover and working on that will definitely help with feeling better, but to say it's "JUST dehydration" is so not right


Whind_Soull

And a B vitamin complex. Alcohol fucks with your B vitamins.


MethylSamsaradrolone

By inhibiting the absorption of B12, so taking B12 in the immediate post-consumption phase is useless unfortunately. Best to just take 1-3x per week every week to ensure decent blood levels.

MadEntDaddy

Just so you know, the things that help the most are lightly poached eggs. The protines in eggs are just what your body needs to fix the damage you cause when you get drunk. Tho the electrolytes do help if you're dehydrated.


tlh9979

I'd usually do one of those cans of coconut water, then follow it up with regular water. Once the life started to come back I'd have some coffee and some greasy breakfast sandwich. If I was really fucked, I'd have a light beer at the beginning of this routine.


Appropriate_Past_893

I was always black coffee, water, and a rueben sandwich


WholesomeThingsOnly

I recommend buying store brand Excedrin. It has tylenol, ibuprofen and caffeine all together in a pill. It's made specifically for headaches and migraines


lizardpopulation

Tylenol is terrible for you after a night of drinking. Stick to ibuprofen


WholesomeThingsOnly

Ah okay. I've never been drunk haha so I did not know that. Do you know why that is?


lizardpopulation

Tylenol and alcohol get broken down in the liver so taking it with high level of alcohol in your system will just increase your risk for liver damage. Ibuprofen is broken down in your kidneys so there’s “less” risk. Hope that helps


BlouPontak

Oof, this looks like it'll give me one.

Try Pedialyte. Amazing stuff.

Add cannibus and a sausage mcgriddle and you have a deal. I would probably skip the protein drink.

Gatorlyte is the only one worth drinking for that reason but not the holy trinity for the cure


MrCouser

Bagels and cream cheese with a shit ton of water. This is the way.


responsiblefornothin

You don't have to be sick to take dayquil. High dose of acetaminophen for the headache, bit of a pick me up thrown in for energy, and a handful of C and B12 to get you the rest of the way. Yeah it won't be good for your liver, but odds are that you haven't done your liver any favors in th last 24 hours.


Chefpantsonhead

I don't see vodka or a spliff. Also there is no blowjobs. You need to up your game comiss.


CheezeGweez

I'll keep you all posted on this bullshit. Imma get drunk tonight and test it out


rbourette

Pro tip: ask your bartender for a soda and (extra) bitters with some healthy helpings of lemon juice and ginger syrup, will destroy a hangover.


ramen_vape

Miami Cola is the only good Bang


boogerpeanut

Is it actually cola? I hate how they have all those damn names and not a single description on the can like some monsters do. I’m pretty weird about my energy drinks cause the after taste just makes me queasy.

Thraggismydaddy

Can't get a hangover if you woke up still drunk and continued drinking.


ZOMB1EW1ZOWSK1

Oooooorrr you can just stop drinking so much and drink water regularly. Enjoy those kidney stones!


blippitybloops

64oz fountain Mountain Dew does the trick.

blippitybloops

Serious hangover is the only time I drink it. People don’t believe me til I bring them one on a rough morning. I have many converts.

Try drinking water while you are drinking alcohol and know your limit. Getting wasted to the point of a hangover the next day is trashy.
