Off to Magaluf this weekend for a stag. 20 of us, so babes beware

Anyway, on a more realistic note i am 33 and happy to accept that I am no longer the drinking machine that i was in my youth.

So what are your best hangover cures? I currently try and drink loads of water before going to sleep, but this is easy enough to forget when bloutered.

All cures welcome.................

I've found that RU21 helps but you have to remember to take them which isn't easy when you're pished

Thats what i used to do. Alcohol is a poison so to combat that the body tries to dilute it therefore drains the body of water. Drinking water helps combat this effect.

Water and 1000mg of vitamin C just before bed....

Or if you forget to do that before bed .... exercise to sweat it out and a full scottish breakfast with a bottle of Irn-Bru

Irn-Bru definatly works for me, but my stomach has to be open for business, and some mornings it just isn't , especially after a couple of days of all-inclusive burgers, crap beer and cheap spirits.

More beer

Please don't, I am getting upset just thinking about it.

Go to your Chemist before you go and buy some Dioralyte. It's oral rehydration solution that is really meant for when you have Diarrhoea

If I have any in I neck one lot before I go to bed and another one when I get up

The only downer is that mixing it's a bit of a chore when you're mullered and you can't prepare it before you go out

Only drink clear liquids, ie: vodka all night.

If you have to drink beer, then drink only beer and nothing else.

plenty of water before bed, maybe even a pinto water halfway through evening too!

The one and only solution which works for me every single time is lots of water and a big, dripping, greasy sausage and bacon sandwich covered in tomato sauce first thing in the morning

have a big meal before you start drinking, then neck as much water as poss before you go bed....

letting your hangover kick in before you go to bed works too

hail-hail

excellent, got some of this in the house from when the little un wasn;t too well, will get it packed

hail-hail

I already have my line rehearsed.........

"Look, I am 33 years old and if I want a bottle of insert expletive water, then I will have a bottle of insert expletive water!"

after years of field research and sometimes disastrous trial and error ... stagging is all about pace and on-the-job maintenance!

- have a 'pitstop pinta' of water every fourth drink. you'll be pi55ing for england after you break the seal but you'll stay hydrated and reasonably together.

- pint of water before bed if you can remember but deffo x2 nurofen. will stop a hangover dead in its tracks before it even develops. if you're really REALLY stinko, just take the nurofen as you may suffer an unwanted nocturnal bladder incident otherwise because you're comatose.

- couple of pints of water and a banana for breakfast (buy a bunch when you arrive and stick it in the mini-bar to keep cool). while you might crave a greasy spoon, a nana will sort you out with slow-release sugar and settle your stomach better than anything else. save the full english for lunchtime.

- smile smugly next day as you tackle a bloody mary sharpener and your fellow staggers are dying on their feet. keep up your water intake and you'll be cruising ...

Isn't cranberry juice supposed to help?

I hate the water idea, as you just keep getting up in the night/morning. So feel more knackered than just a hangover.

My cure, was to stop. It's Becks Blue for me.

Don't mix your drinks. Last stag weekend I went on I just drank vodka from 10am till 4am and was ok hangover-wise. Couldn't walk like, but there you go ! Also stay away from cocaine and amphetamines as they will convince your body that you're not pissed when in fact, you're hammered.
