hung-over but not hung-ry

normally when i wake up from a night of getting hammered, i would be fairly hungry or at least i'd feel like some food. and i can get like a fry up or a soup or something that'd make me feel 10 times better than before. it's like a food = comfort thing.

but last night i had 2 burgers and a wetherspoons curry club curry before necking a few pints. and i woke up feeling dreadful but not wanting to eat! it was awful.. i only felt better through drinking 2 pints of water.. and that was nowhere as good as how good i could have felt if i weren't full and thus had a big greasy breakfast.

what else could i have done to make myself feel better?

Ooh that sounds bad if it cannot be cured by a fry-up. sympathies my friend!

Water was sensible. Black coffee? Painkillers? Fruit juice?

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 18 June 2004 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I can never stomach fruit juice on a hangover. it makes me throw up straight away!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 18 June 2004 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

have a pint?

― pete b. (pete b.), Friday, 18 June 2004 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

That may do the trick, although I've never managed to try this one!

― Pintpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 18 June 2004 11:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I have managed and I've thrown it up promptly. This does NOT cure a hangover for me.

― penelope_111, Friday, 18 June 2004 11:29 (twenty-two years ago)

to be honest i wouldn't have a pint in this situation, but maybe a G&T or a bloody mary

― pete b. (pete b.), Friday, 18 June 2004 11:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Vodka is a far better hangover cure. Especially in a bloody mary!

― Apostrophe Catastrophe (kate), Friday, 18 June 2004 11:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Iced coffee laced with vodka.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 18 June 2004 11:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Mmmmm, that sounds like the best idea.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 18 June 2004 11:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Bowling. (Well it worked for me! Once.)

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 18 June 2004 11:40 (twenty-two years ago)

some really heavy, sweet drink from starbucks...i really like a chai latte.

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:07 (twenty-two years ago)

bowling + vodka would have been fun! i had to work this morning though.

beer works sometimes but not others. and there were deffo no room in my tummy this morning for a pint.

ken's health update - i have digested a lot of last night's curry and so had a big bowl of soup and also some SFC and a can of coke and feel better again. head still a bit spinny.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:14 (twenty-two years ago)

ken, get a pint of bloody mary, meal in a glass, job done

― chris (chris), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Skiing is the ONLY sure-fire hangover cure.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:15 (twenty-two years ago)

^^^Yeah but you've gotta be careful not to take it past the afternoon - it might cure your hangover but if you still aint eaten by lunch the gut rott sets in with FURORRRE

― LC, Friday, 18 June 2004 12:17 (twenty-two years ago)

bloody mary OTM (although bloody CAESARS are far better)

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:17 (twenty-two years ago)

i tried making a bloody mary the other week (after a party) and haha it wasn't great.. can anyone supply a good recipe? i followed webtender.com and i made something so horrible that i had to mask all taste through an insane volume of tobesco sauce. did the trick though.

and the bloody mary wasn't as bad as the one i made the night before that at the actual party, which had MSG in it. haha.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:17 (twenty-two years ago)

if there were a snow covered slope near holloway road i would have gone skiing, totally.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:19 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe down highgate hill in winter.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I rarely feel like eating when I'm hungover. This is usually because I have got up too late and my stomach has contracted, I think.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:19 (twenty-two years ago)

It's not phsically possible for your stomach to contract, N.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:20 (twenty-two years ago)

there are so many different recipes it's ridiculous, so I don't follow one. Just chuck tomato juice, vodka, ice and tabasco in and tweak till it tastes good enough to drink, also you can add anything else from celery salt, stick of celery, lemon, loads of other stuff.

there's a load of tmfd spoken about bbloody marys though

― chris (chris), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:20 (twenty-two years ago)

there is no cure for two burgers and a *what is that* curry i fear

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:21 (twenty-two years ago)

What is the best drink to aid the course of a hangover if you cannot stand tomato juice though?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:28 (twenty-two years ago)

ahem, Vodkapresso

(cue horror from people who've been on the receiving end)

― chris (chris), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Aha - a chance to ask what TMFD stands for. I feel a fool for not knowing. Too Much Fucking __ ?

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

lady, if you have to ask...

two minute french disaster innit?

― chris (chris), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Irn Bru or a nice fruit crush.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Archel - http://freakytrigger.co.uk/sport/index.html

It's an in-joke, I think!

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:33 (twenty-two years ago)

SKI-ING, PEOPLE

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

ski-ing people is easy

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

*even more baffled*

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:40 (twenty-two years ago)

toast is your friend in this situation, ken.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:41 (twenty-two years ago)

here's my recipe ken

V-8 or tomato juice
celery salt or celery seed
tabasco
worcestershire
horseradish
salt
pepper
vodka

mix together

lemon and/or lime juice
ice

these are the only essentials. i suppose you could go w/o horseradish but that would be a shame. on top of all this though you can go crazy. a drop of wine. other hot sauces. other spices. it's like the jambalaya of drinks. just make sure to put in enough vodka. when the triangulation of tabasco, worcestershire, and vodka is absolutely perfect, it creates a THIRD FLAVOR.

i agree about toast. even just one or two little nibbles can be the mental comfort you need.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

i meana fourth flavor. bah

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Toast is indeed your friend!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:52 (twenty-two years ago)

does this have to be just plain toast? or can it be like beans or cheese on toast?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:54 (twenty-two years ago)

good call on the horse radish, I forgot about the sherry too in mine.

btw, what's a bloody ceasar? Is it liquified cat food?

― chris (chris), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Too much fanny dangling, I think, Archel.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:56 (twenty-two years ago)

i think a bloody ceaser is the canadian version of a bloody mary, made with clamato as opposed to regular tomato juice. the social in islington has wicked bloody marys, but as is the case with most english cocktails there isn't quite enough liquor.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:11 (twenty-two years ago)

you should try one of my Vodkapressos Lauren. Just ask Hopkins

― chris (chris), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Please, my delicate constitutuion can't face the clamato discussion again...

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:13 (twenty-two years ago)

the ones at the Chapel Bar had quite a lot of liquor

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:13 (twenty-two years ago)

it gave gavin dunbar the fears.

xpost

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:13 (twenty-two years ago)

what are the vodkapressos? are they anything like my beloved creation, the tan russian (vodka, milk, kahlua, and a large shot of espresso shaken with ice)?

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:15 (twenty-two years ago)

let me see that bong
bong buh bongbongbong

― sessqo (nickalicious), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:16 (twenty-two years ago)

equal parts vodka and espresso shaken with ice and sugar and drunk in slightly too large quantities, preferably after vodka jelly

― chris (chris), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Two nurofen and a pint of water before bed, no matter what state you're in.

If I still feel cruddy in the morning, I have more nurofen, a Diet coke or Irn Bru (nice and cold) and nacho cheese doritos. And maybe a second lot later if it's a really bad one. I'd like to point out that I don't eat this kind of crap normally.

I love vodkapressos, but they have to have some chocolate liqueur in there too. The espresso martini at Croma in Manchester is lovely.

― elisabeth k, Friday, 18 June 2004 13:35 (twenty-two years ago)

you should drink it from a teapot for maximum effect

― chris (chris), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Vodkapresso! Thinking to myself: What would happen if I filled my home espresso machine with vodka instead of water to brew a cup? It's a closed system, so the alcohol wouldn't evaporate; but vodka's lower boiling point and viscosity might play havoc with the finely tuned dynamics of pressure and extraction. I will run some experiments this evening.

― Paul Eater (eater), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:07 (twenty-two years ago)

please do, and report back!

― chris (chris), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

The alcohol would be above evaporation temperature as it exits, wouldn't it? If the volume of liquid drops by, uh, 40% right before your eyes, I guess the answer is yes. (I await the lab reports with great interest.)

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Two burgers and a curry?! How come you didn't EXPLODE, o Keng?

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

The alcohol would totally change the composition of the coffee extracted from the beans, I would have thought. Most likely with disgusting results.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

mmmmmmmmmmm

(sorry Archel!)

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:57 (twenty-two years ago)

To minimize post-brew evaporation, I will use an icy receptacle.

But Ricardo thinks I'm going to free up some vile alcohol-soluble compounds that usually get tossed with the pellet? Interesting! We shall see.

― Paul Eater (eater), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

sarah i think a week in NUDE YORK has trained me into having an insatiable appetite!! (like the girl in HYPER BISHI BASHI CHALLENGE!!)

I stuff myself with soup and SFC again this lunch

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:22 (twenty-two years ago)

on new years day, we all went to play lazer tag. all that running and sweating make me forget hangover & pill depression, but then i had a bruise instead from getting pistol whipped.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

gatorade. that is all.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

flat ginger ale usually does the trick

Brewing Espresso With Vodka: The preliminary results are in. As we might have guessed, vodka turns into steam, and thus goes through the coffee, at a cooler temperature than water would. The results on my cheapo steam-driven machine are probably different from those one would get from a pump machine. This brew is weakish -- more like conventional coffee than espresso.

The drink (it needs a name; too bad "vodkapresso" is taken!) is not much like proper espresso -- perhaps these are the alcohol-soluble volatiles I'm tasting, but it's oddly sour. A half-teaspoon of sugar fixes that, though, and turns it into quite a tasty drink! The alcohol stings the tongue just as the warmth soothes it, and the coffee flavor is mild but enjoyable. It is much easier to drink than straight vodka.

The physiological effects are not far different from what one expects from hot vodka laced with caffeine. Typing is a little harder than usual.

This is a concoction I will be trying again soon.

(Now onward I go, to the evening's durian experiments!)

― Paul Eater (eater), Friday, 18 June 2004 23:12 (twenty-two years ago)

A short while later the subject became euphoric and ran around outside.

― Paul Eater (eater), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:34 (twenty-two years ago)

durian update!

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks Paul, excellent reporting back

― chris (chris), Saturday, 19 June 2004 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I love V for my hangovers (I believe its available in the UK too? Its one of them fizzy caffeine/guarana/B vitamin drinks), with some paracetamol/codiene tabs and water. Also sudafed if Im all snotty which I often am from cigs + wine allergy (yeah I shouldnt drink wine but eh). Thats if I can stomach anything.. if I cant, I just suffer til I can, then its vegemite on toast.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 20 June 2004 04:09 (twenty-two years ago)

If you consider a hangover as akin to the feeling of crawling from the primal sludge, Clamato (sorry Archel) is a reminder of our ancestors.
Alka Selter Plus Cold And Flu is a very good remedy. Swimming in the ocean after a bloody ceaser would be most perfect.

― aimurchie, Sunday, 20 June 2004 09:45 (twenty-two years ago)

two years pass...

I think this thread needs to be revived due to my severe and crippling pain today. The only thing that has not caused me to run to the toilet to heave has been peppermint tea.

― Andi Headphones (Andi Headphones), Friday, 9 February 2007 00:08 (nineteen years ago)

The day I find a hangover cure that beats smoking and going to the bookies I shall be sure to let people know.

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 9 February 2007 00:21 (nineteen years ago)

Milk always fixes me.

I mistakenly had some pineapple around 11 this morning when I crawled out of bed. My puke looked like a sunrise. Thought of this, then promptly returned to bed to squirm in pain:

Awesome pic. Love how it is flying out of the whole width of the mouth. And the bleary, I'm-spewing-so-hard-I-can't-see eye.

― Hard like armour (Hard like armour), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:02 (nineteen years ago)

I think I'm cured. At least enough to eat solid foods again.. Hurrah!

― Andi Headphones (Andi Headphones), Friday, 9 February 2007 02:06 (nineteen years ago)

I think my own vomit was more projectile than that but so COLORFUL! I really should have taken a picture for my records.
