Help finding a thread

Hi people,

I remember seeing a thread on here about hangover cures, something to do with some powder from Tesco's you mix with water? Does that make sense?

Anyway, i'm off shopping today and i'd like to get some of this stuff to give it a try.

Cheers

You are probably/possible referring to Berocca, the Australian wonder cure for hangovers. Its available in most shops these days, you pop one tablet into a cup of water, it fizzes away and is full of vits etc. It tastes quite yummy, certainly aint like any Alka Seltzer thats for sure!

BUT...my Aussie pharmacist also told me its a bit of a waste of money as cos its water soluble you piss away most of the goodness anyway....fluoro yellow/orange pee!

The BEST cure for a hangover is to knock back up to a litre of water BEFORE you go to bed. This stops the brain shrinking from dehydration...which is ALL a hangover is and why your head hurts!!! And while you are drinking...yes the idea is to get wrecked...but if you have a glass of water in between every drink then you remain hydrated and dont feel like shit next day.

Other morning after remedies...again knowledge gleaned from the Aussies...B Vitamin sachets. OR...a healthy dose of Vegemite on toast...loaded with B Vits.

And in general...drink plenty of water all the time at Glasto as being outdoors, in the sun, or even the rain...keep yourself topped up with sensible fluids.

I've discovered that Cetirizine taken before sleep stops the headache of the hangover.

You are right Lucy, also take some sugary drinks or just some food. The liver is having to detoxify the alcohol and that impacts on its production/breakdown of sugars and that can make you feel knackered...

Pace yourself, and like Lucy says have water in between. Also don't be afraid to say no to alcohol for a few hours. Better still being up having fun at sunrise than face down in a puddle.......

Then again
