Mon Jun 28 2010To the best of my knowledge, there are only two things that really ease a hangover. Rehydration and time. Drinking water certainly is no miracle cure, but drinking plenty of water (preferably while drinking and/or before going to bed, but in the morning can still be helpful) will ease your problems.

Thu Mar 12 2009You have to drink water, becuase your body is dehydrated. If you have a really bad hangover, and water makes you sick, try milk first or chicken broth, anything to rehydrate you. You have aches and headaches from the dehydration. Alcohol is the one thing that can kill you detoxing from. Also, eat crackers or some noodles to get some nutrition in your system. You have to rest, drink water (or any fluids that you can keep down) and eat when you can keep something down. For every drink, you'll have to rehydrate 12 oz of H2O. that means a lot of water!!!! And it's not a miracle cure, nothing really is- only time and healing. Caring for those tissues you abused is what you have to do. Some people recover more quickly than other also I might add due to current health, alcohol consumption and other factors (smoking increases the hangover feeling) some people smoke more when they drink and will increase headaches the next day.

Fri Oct 10 2008Drink your alcoholic beverage slowly, stay with one type, avoid sugary drinks, and drink some water before, during, and after. You might go to the bathroom more but you will avoid the dreaded hangover much better. If you are drinking to the staggering point you need to get some control over you consumption levels. It is tough on your body to drink that much.

Sat Jun 07 2008Ok Im confused about the drinking water,everyone says it a miracle cure for a hangover,exactly when are you suppose to drink it? because I drink it in the morning after and lets just say it's not pretty. I've also tried to drink it before i go to bed after a long night and I still get quesy.

Tue Jan 15 2008Alcohol dehydrates you, so drinking not only before you go to sleep (hard to do i know, makes you feel worse when your drunk) and once you wake up will help flush your system and rehydrate you. Best if taken with juice and gatorade because of the vitamins in fruit juice and the electrolytes in gatorade.

Fri Mar 17 2006A hangover is simply a result of your body's dehydration. Retaining water is the only way you can ease a hangover.

Mon Mar 13 2006A couple of pints before bed and your head will thank you in the morning. Works every time. If you have the discipline (and can stand the heckling), switching to water for the last few drinks of the night certainly gives you a headstart. This really isn't a hangover cure, but a hangover prevention.

Fri Nov 25 2005Many of the ill effects of a hangover are due to dehydration.Water works! It's even more effective if you drink H20 WHILE you are drinking your alcoholic beverage-that cuts down on the pain the next day.

Sun Aug 07 2005Yeah it's great...but I can't get myself to drink water the next day. Cups of coffee is all I want and that's just a momentary fix, if you could call it a fix, it probably does more harm that good. I gotta stick my head under the faucet before I go to bed or I'm in trouble...

Fri Jul 29 2005Works great. Drinking a good sized glass or two of water before going to bed (at least a half litre or so) will reducde the severity hangover in the first place, and drinking more water the next day will help your body flush out the alcohol and rehydrate.

Fri Jul 29 2005Dehydration is a bitch when you have a hangover. Water surely helps.
by bluetarbaby
Tue Jul 26 2005This works best for me. and eating. All the other stuff is myth in most cases. MAGELLAN, I think I do, but pop ups are the only visuals I can see. So, I don't know. Ads, and popups, I can actually see perfectly, even if their moving around across the screen. What should I do?

Mon Jul 11 2005Best way to get rehydrated and also a good way to clear out your system.

Sat Apr 23 2005It seems that I just can't drink enough, because when I wake up the next morning, I am still thirsty....

Fri Mar 25 2005The best way--most of the headache is due to dehydration.
by randyman
Wed Mar 23 2005I don't think this really cures a hangover, but I sure wake up thirsty after a night of drinking.
by skizero
Tue Mar 15 2005works like a charm but you usually have to drink the equivalent of the booze you imbibed, which means when you come home drank, fill up a gallon, and prepare for the long haul. and then waking nearly every hour to piss.

Mon Dec 13 2004Hnagover = Dehydrated. Water does the trick everytime for me. i havent had a hangover since i found out.

Sun Dec 05 2004Water, H20, it is good to drink to prevent and cure hangovers. It is much better to go to the bathroom frequently than to suffer the effects of a miserable hangover.

Sat Oct 09 2004How many of us drink water before a serious drinking session? If you can finish off the night with gallons of water, then you're off to a good start to help prevent a hang over, flushes through your system and eases the chance of dehyrdation.
by castlebee
Tue Sep 14 2004They say if you're really thirsty you're already dehydrated. So, water does help a hangover but it's even better as a preventative. Drink water before, during and after you've had your other beverages. You might want to reconsider the ibuprofen Eschew because combined with alcohol it can be really hard on your liver.

Mon Sep 13 2004drinking a large amount of water before going to sleep sometimes is better than waiting to wake up.

Sun Sep 12 2004Tall glass of water and three ibuprofen and no regrets. What's for breakfast?

Sun Sep 12 2004It's okay, but better if used in conjuction with Pepto Bismol

Wed Jun 30 2004This helps nothing it just makes ya want to pee alot.
by sperryc
Thu May 20 2004This is sort of a no-brainer. But depending on the damage done, drinking water might not be enough on its own.

Sun May 16 2004It has always seemed to help me quite a bit...I am always extremely thirsty the next day after a night of partying hard...
