My mom has been feeding me bits and pieces of the information you gave us since I was young.

Since I've never had a hangover, it may work. <br /><br />Mary Anne in Kentuckysolarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606487180967915130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-64777590153755245392010-02-16T16:20:36.670-05:002010-02-16T16:20:36.670-05:00Got a cold right now.

It doesn't make me feel all druggy and it takes the cough downa couple of levels so I can actually get some (much needed) sleep. <br />And, for the record, I might know a thing or two about a bad bourbon hangover. (hey, I live in KY). The best thing I've found so far is Gatorade and a banana. And lots and lots of water.<br />Great post and very timely as I set here with my stuffy head.keilahttp://www.doesthisfatmakemybuttlookbig.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-87126090712757728572010-02-16T10:28:49.486-05:002010-02-16T10:28:49.486-05:00I second your wonky knee recommendation.

And I forgot it was Mardi Gras today, so that's awesome timing for the hangover tips.<br /><br />Weirdly enough (knock on wood) I don't tend to get sick, so the self-inflicted hangover is about the worst I have to suffer through, and fortunately, as I get older, I'm less willing to do that anymore. But I have to second the WATER WATER WATER and then more WATER idea--especially before you go to bed. It's worth getting up all night to pee.<br /><br />And the wonky knee/back etc suggestions are all excellent as well!

Rest and bundling up when I had to go outside I think was my savior this time around. <br />What, no hair of the dog as a remidy for a hangover? ;) For the last few years, I've drank a glass of water before bed (or between drinks of alcohol)and haven't had a bad hangover since.

It seems to really make recovery time more like 4 days instead of 10. Also, a saline spray rather than a decongestant helps keep those passages clear! last but not least...ginger ale works great for a hangover too. Ugh, not a great way to start the day thinking about this!

Can't they give you something that will just knock you out for about 10 days until it's all over?karen@fitnessjourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15161983893717225660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-49697514371580909152010-02-16T07:31:41.823-05:002010-02-16T07:31:41.823-05:00Thanks..
