I can't help but think this might not be the best idea
www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-17297714

What odd remedies and cures do you lot have for ailments? I've been pissing rusty water out of my arse at high pressure most of the night. Meh. I am still going to go out tonight for curry and beer though

Alt:
What the fuck are you up at this time for?

I am 100% behind that idea.
I would also like to take this opportunity to stand up and announce that I, tangledupinblue, am an alcoholic.
Can I have some acid now, please?
I'll give you some quack advice to help justify your plans for tonight: curry contains turmeric, which contains a substance call curcumin which is a natural anti-inflammatory used for hundreds of years in Ayurvedic medicine for stomach ailments. Beer will probably help too.

Many valuable medical applications for hallucinogens were abandoned in the political furore aver recreational LSD use in the 1960s. Proper baby/bathwater stuff. You can still go for ayahuasca therapy sessions in South America which are demonstrably good for addiction and other psychological issues. The results of LSD therapy on terminal alkies were more successful than pretty much any other techniques they tried, especially with regard to people staying dry afterwards. So nerr.

Tangledupinblue's tried and tested hangover recovery system
To answer the main question and, as so many here seem to be suffering with a hangover, I offer you this:
1. try to drink a pint of water before going to bed. If you can manage to eat something too, I think this helps. If nothing else that extra time it gives you to sober up before falling asleep will take the edge off a little. Ensure you take another pint of water to have by the bed for the morning.
2. The more sleep you can achieve the less your hangover will be. The human body repairs itself while sleeping. (Since having kids I now see how important this one is)
3. Avoid caffeinated drinks. I know that a strong coffee makes you feel good temporarily, but tea and coffee are diuretics and you will dehydrate further.
4. Eat a massive breakfast. I don't care if you think you can't stomach it. Stop being a baby. This breakfast should be high in protein and fat (a fry up, of course).
5. Smoke a joint. Best. Hangover. Cure. Ever. (although don't make the mistake of thinking it is a good idea to have one before bed, Ape. You know this only makes matters worse)
6. Keep drinking water and MTFU.
EDIT (as pointed out by Nakers): 6a. Have a wank (or better still persuade someone else to take on the role of nurse and do it for you). This will release endorphins in the brain. It also feels nice.
7. You are now ready to start drinking again. Play nicely.
(, Fri 9 Mar 2012, 9:47, Reply)
I would dispute point 3
regardless of how much of a diuretic something is the net gain outstrips any dehydration
(, Fri 9 Mar 2012, 9:51, Reply)
It is my belief that any gain is temporary
and that when it wears off you will feel much worse.
(, Fri 9 Mar 2012, 9:54, Reply)
If I was a pedantic arse
I would suggest that drinking any fluid you will only experiance a temporary gain (otherwise you would never dehydrate at all)
