Been there in my younger years. Had some large times but man I do not miss those morning afters. Hair of the dog!
Being a “retired” professional drinker (I will answer to ‘drunk’ as well)…here’s my favorite hangover remedies:
1. ONE shot of the last drink you had the previous night. If you don’t remember, have a shot of vodka. Another neutral spirit will work as well. No wine. NO brown liquor. Trust me on this. The only exceptions are Bloody Marys and mimosas.
2. Club soda. Tonic water doesn’t help. Club soda until your urine is clear. If you know you’re going to drink heavily, drink one for one. One alcoholic drink, one club soda chaser. You will still be jacked up, but the hangover won’t be as bad. When you drink, dehydration is your worst enemy. No club soda? Plain water works just fine, but club soda is my go-to.
3. 50 push-ups. Gets the circulation going. It will temporarily make your hangover worse, but you’ll get over it quicker. Can’t do 50? Do as many as you can until you “feel the burn”.
4. Saved the best for last. Pure oxygen. If you have access to an oxygen tank, you’re golden. 100% oxygen for at least an hour with an oxygen mask. The tube works but takes longer.
I’d like to thank the United States Navy for letting me see the world and pickling my liver. But I’m still here! Go Vols!
