Hangovers! :/

or should I say Queen?

Well I have been told I have a set of iron-clad ones lol. Funny though even with all this advice, NOTHING can prevent or cure a hangover 100% / all the time! If you're gonna play you gotta pay!

I have kind of a unique one, some call it dangerous but with common sense it's worked wonders for me. I get a gallon jug of water and drink about half of it right when i wake up. I then go to the sauna and as i sweat i continue to pound the water. Seems to eliminate the effects much quicker. Key is keep poundin the H20 in the sauna. Im good within a half hour or so.

Yes this really IS very dangerous! You can develop hyponatremia (low salt in your blood) by diluting it too much and by sweating out so much. Worst case scenario you go into a coma. Having said that, I have never seen anyone drink enough water to put themselves into a coma-but just know you might do it. Drinking lots of fluids though is good but maybe you should throw in some gatoraide or something?

I've never come close to hypothermia or a coma I think you'd have to be one out of shape and hammered person to have such bad things happen. I'll usually drink a bit of pedialyte as well. I should have mentioned I wont sit for 30 straight minute. Maybe 10 minute shifts with a few mins outside or 2 15 min shifts

No no no NOT hypothermia! hyponatremia! it is where the sodium concentration in your bloodstream gets too low! With you diluting it out with so much water (when you chug that much plain water) and sweating it out (we all know your sweat is full of salt). Alternating with pedialyte would definately be better!

I would kind of just rather if there WAS something that could prevent or cure it 100%?

As I get older I find my hangovers getting more and more brutal (and I'm only 28 ) We plan on drinking four nights straight...and I'm REALLY hoping to last til the last night Any suggestions from you pros?

First of all--Wait till you hit 40!
BEFORE you party (for say a couple of days before you go and everyday you are there) take magnesium 250mg. 2-3 times a day, take a good B vitamin-be sure it has B1(thiamine) in it. Vitamin C can help some people-others not so much. Milk Thistle(suppliment) is also supposed to help but I have found it not as useful. You can also pop a couple of charcoal pills before you hit the sack-it will absorb any of the alcohol in your stomach that you haven't absorbed yet. Be sure you drink plenty of other fluids during the day and even through the night you are partying. Take 800 mg. ibuprofen before you go to bed. (tylenol is harder on your already beat up liver)
For the day after: most all hangover symptoms come from dehydration and build up of toxins from alcohol metabolism. SO it makes sense to drink as much as you can. Gatoraide, water, juice whatever. Glutathione (suppliment) may help as well. Now, having said that, hair of the dog really does work. It changes the metabolism (to complicated to explain here) and so in essence, yes staying drunk DOES work!!
AND even with ALL that sometimes you just have to suck it up and pay for your good times!

wow! thanks for all the info! I'm willing to try anything!

100% true, someone died in competition to drink as much water as possible without going to the loo.

I get the worst hangovers, but this remedy i use now totally helps:

Piece of toast with honey on it, honey contains fructose, which helps your body metabolize alcohol more quickly.....down it with a glass of delish pedialyte and your set
