wISHFUL THINKING but has anyone discovered an hangover cure in Chinese medicine ?
Then I can market it back home and leave this wretched place!
Only cure I have found is to start all over again. Never fails.
Only works if applied before noon.
Only downside is you will start monday with an even more fierce one like I have this morning and I dont think Mr. Bossman would appreciate me starting this early in the week. We made a deal, I have to wait until lunchtime on Fridays to start hitting the sauce to cure the remenants of thursday nights, not a bad deal overall.
The only surefire method I know is preventative: before going to bed, drink as much water as you can. Then drink some more…water, that is.
And there’s always Angostura Bitters & Soda or a shot of Fernet Branca for the morning after.
You lot need to try Irn Bru.
My preferred one is to buy those hangover sets some pharmacies sell. NT$50, and you get a strong painkiller, something for the belly, and then a bit of vitamin B, some woodoo medicine for the liver and so on. Actually does a good job flushed down with 2 liters of cola.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
But, not nearly as much fun. :s
Alka-seltzer
Don’t know how I would have made it in Taiwan w/out it. Take before bed with a glass of water, sooths the stomach and the aspirin cures the headache. Also prevents beer sh*ts and suitable for use after MaLa Hotpot
Before you go to bed, throw up. That’ll flush out the alcohol in your system.
Lots of water is good too, I use that along with my NT$50 cures.
Onto something completely different - how come that this thread is not in the health and fitness forum?
Min Tong Herbs in Taichung already markets a product for this.
Its named “Before and After”
They have been marketing it, in the US, for about 10 years.
Min Tong Herbs, BTW, is an old and established Chinese herbal manufacturer. Very high quality standards. Their US facility is at:
Min Tong Herbs. 318 7th St. Oakland. 94607. 800-562-5777
I always feel better after a Bic Mac and three cups of coffee and of course water. Gatorade / Pocari Sweat / or the like can also be very helpful to get the water back into those pore abused brain cells.
A big greasy breakfast (english style), with lots of salt & tabasco sauce followed by a double Bloody Mary.
Bacon & eggs or even pancakes and breakfast sausage. YUM.
Lots of coffee. lots of water. Vitamins. Take it easy …
A bartender in Kaohsiung gave me this Japanese stuff that comes in little sachets after I finished 4L of beer, which should have been enough to make me feel like crap the next day. But I took one dose with some water and while I was tired the day after, my head and stomach were both fine. I was shocked.
Will try and chase down the name for you. It is also supposed to stop colds and get rid of muscular aches.
