I've never had a hangover because I've never gotten drunk but I would probably suggest something to eat, plenty of hydration, ventilation, and something calm to watch.

Not saying it's necessarily wise, but the most effective thing is to have a tiny amount of more alcohol. Your body preferentially metabolises ethanol over methanol, and when it's got through all the ethanol starts converting methanol into formaldehyde which is pretty toxic and hard to break down.

A small amount of ethanol reduces the rate that formaldehyde is being produced and stops you feeling so bad.

Side effects: another day wasted, potential alcoholism, etc.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6761819/

quote:

One specific congener implicated in hangover effects is methanol, which is an alcohol compound found in alcoholic beverages along with ethanol. The two compounds differ slightly in chemical structure in that methanol contains one less carbon atom and two fewer hydrogen atoms than ethanol. The same enzymes that metabolize ethanol, alcohol dehydrogenase, and aldehyde dehydrogenase also metabolize methanol; however, the products of methanol metabolism (i.e., formaldehyde and formic acid) are extremely toxic and in high concentrations may cause blindness and death.

Support for methanol’s contribution to hangovers comes from several sources. For example, distilled spirits that are more frequently associated with the development of a hangover, such as brandies and whiskeys, contain the highest concentrations of methanol. Moreover, in an experimental study with four subjects who consumed red wine containing 100 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of methanol, Jones (1987) found that elevated blood levels of methanol persisted for several hours after ethanol was metabolized, which corresponded to the time course of hangover symptoms. Methanol lingers after ethanol levels drop, because ethanol competitively inhibits methanol metabolism. The fact that ethanol readministration fends off hangover effects may be further evidence of methanol’s contribution to the hangover condition, given ethanol’s ability to block methanol metabolism and thereby slow the production of formaldehyde and formic acid.

Late teen, early 20s, don't particularly drink a lot, do not hang round in student bar, bezzie mate and I hung around in the snack bar instead stuffing faces on pizza, no hangovers.

Late 20s, start drinking quite heavily, hangovers but keep drinking anyway. Start to drink 3 pints of water after a night out and before going to bed, seems to help!

Age 28 - a teetotal year - having gone to work 4 mornings in a row with a bad hangover having NOT BEEN OUT because one of you flatmates goes to the offie every night and you all get plastered in the living room, and the boss' secretary running a spirit bar every Friday afternoon from his office as he has a long meeting every Friday, and she takes it as a personal insult if you don't drink, so have a year teetotal which pretty well manage apart from the night the barman in the Intrepid Fox gave me the bottle of Delirium Tremums lager - it wasn't that one but something akin in alcohol level - which is right next to the low-alcohol lager and I don't notice.

Early 30s, remember how horrible hangovers are but keep drinking but cutback on a school night

Late 30s, remember how horrible hangovers are and cut back on drinking in advance

Early 40s, the only reason you drink is because you're 'not a team player' if you don't go out and get plastered once a week with work colleagues. Start to feel quite ill (in a different way to a hangover) every time but haven't yet concluded alcohol is to blame

Mid 40s, discover that I have a bad reaction to alcohol (tachycardia, extremely elevated blood pressure so you can actually feel the blood thumping round your veins and have to sit at the top of the steps at the tube before being able to make the 5 mins walk home from there) - I call this an 'allergy'.

Age 45 - now seriously concerned and go teetotal which I have now maintained for 15 years. (Exceptions: 1 thimble full of pear wine at dad's 70th which made me feel ill, 1 liqueur chocolate but with the liqueur NOT as liquid but mashed up in the foamy stuff, 1 rum & raisin icecream.)

60 (now) - still teetotal after all these years. No hangovers. Mostly drink water and the very occasional 'no alcohol lager' because most non-alcoholic drinks are very sweet and unrefreshing let alone the sugar punch and the gut rot after 3 fruit juices or bitter lemons.

Painkillers and plenty of water. If you're so bad you can't tolerate swallowing pills, get some Calpol fast melts or an actual bottle of Calpol in advance.

Maybe we can add the hangover cures to the fudge, gin, brownies, wicker baskets and experimental filtered vodka to our range.

This is interesting and does explain why I feel like my hangovers are far worse when I’ve been enjoying whiskey. I’ve actually been moving back to mainly vodka-based drinks for that reason anyway.

Though I know if I really want to avoid hangovers going forward I’m probably just going to have to bite the bullet and start smoking lots more weed instead

A home made saline.

1 pint of water
1 or 2 table spoons of salt
1 or 2 table spoons of sugar

Your brain is dehydrated and your body craving other things.

It won't taste nice but drink that and you'll start to feel better after an hour or so (depending on how much you drank/slept/age)

The worst hangover I ever had bar none was when I accidentally took codeine instead of ibuprofen while drunk before I went to sleep, holy poo poo was that bad. Never do that.

Anyway apart from "get so habituated into drinking 6-8 pints when you go out 2 or 3 times a week that your baseline tolerance is worryingly high" aka the "benefits of a University education mate":

Coffee and ibuprofen or aspirin (eat something first ideally but I used to just take it cold and I never got stomach ulcers or whatever it is that you're warned against), not paracetamol (or codeine!) as it's metabolised by your liver and that's got enough going on. Also water or juice so you get some sugar in you. And have a shower.

there is a quote from a famous historical medical pioneer, i want to say galen but i could be wrong, that's basically like "well, i don't know if our cures work, but i know for sure they take time and convince the user they work, and time + optimism about your prognosis is the most powerful set of tools we have. our job is to keep the patient occupied until nature can correct the problem".

i sometimes think about that when i read hangover cures.

2020 Extended Normal One Continues

KSTP Eyewitness News posted:

Two self-proclaimed members of a right-wing extremist group have been charged with trying to provide support to a foreign terrorist organization.

The U.S. Attorney's Office said 30-year-old Michael Robert Solomon, of New Brighton, and 22-year-old Benjamin Ryan Teeter, of Hampstead, N.C., are each charged with one count of conspiring and attempting to provide material support to Hamas. Solomon and Teeter were arrested Thursday. Their detention hearing has been set for Wednesday.

A criminal complaint states the FBI began investigating the two men, two members of the "Boogaloo Bois" and a sub-group called the "Boojahideen," in May. The group is known to have violent anti-government sentiments, with the term "Boogaloo" referencing an impending second civil war in the U.S.

The complaint states, during the civil unrest in the Twin Cities following George Floyd's death, Solomon was seen openly carrying a firearm in a residential neighborhood. The two men interacted with a witness over several days and the witness told FBI agents they had firearms and substantial quantities of ammunition. The witness also said the two men and other members of their groups discussed committing acts of violence against police officers and other targets to help further their mission of overthrowing the government and replacing its police forces.

In early June, the FBI learned from a confidential source, whom the two men and other members of their groups believed to be a member of Hamas, that they believed Hamas shared their own anti-U.S. government views. They expressed a desire to employ themselves as "mercenaries" for Hamas to generate cash for their Boogaloo Bois and Boojahideen movement, the complaint continues.

The men also shared with the source and another person they believed to be a senior member of Hamas that they wanted to destroy government monuments, raid the headquarters of a white supremacist organization in North Carolina and target politicians and members of the media, according to the complaint.

Solomon and Teeter also allegedly expressed their ability to manufacture unmarked parts for guns and create untraceable weapons, the complaint states. On July 30, they delivered five suppressors to the confidential source they believed to be a member of Hamas and expressed their desire to manufacture more suppressors and fully automatic weapons for Hamas. The attorney's office said Solomon and Teeter believed the suppressors and a drop-in auto sear would be used by Hamas to attack Israeli and U.S. soldiers.

“This case can only be understood as a disturbing example of the old adage, ‘The enemy of your enemy is your friend,’” said Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers. “As alleged in the complaint, these defendants sought to use violence against the police, other government officials and government property as part of their desire to overthrow the government. While planning these activities, the defendants met individuals whom they believed to be members of the foreign terrorist group Hamas. Thinking that they shared the same desire to harm the United States, they sought to join forces and provide support, including in the form of weapons accessories, to Hamas. They failed. No matter what witch’s brew of ideological motivations inspire those who seek to engage in terrorist activity and harm our country and our fellow citizens, the National Security Division is committed to identifying and holding them accountable. I want to thank the agents, analysts, and prosecutors who are responsible for this case and ensuring that these defendants could not carry out their deadly plans.”

“Michael Solomon and Benjamin Teeter proclaim themselves to be members of the Boogaloo Bois, a group that espouses a violent ideology and an objective to overthrow the government. The defendants believed their anti-U.S. government views aligned with those of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization, and actively developed plans to carry out violence in Minnesota and elsewhere,” said United States Attorney Erica H. MacDonald. “Whenever extremist ideologies, regardless of their roots, move into the realm of violence, the FBI and its Joint Terrorism Task Force stands at the ready to prevent potentially deadly and destructive plots.”
