Just thinking out loud here, but have you considered this stuff and Crystal Light powder as mix? Dodge the hangover completely rather than trying to medicate it after the fact. Add in a little 5-hr energy drinks in there and you have a recipe for a legendary concoction if it works.
I use 5 hour energy also at the beginning of a drinking evening. All the Vitamin B does wonders. That, in combination with some Gatorade G2 or Pedialite before bed, and some food, and I almost never get hangovers. Unless I drink a lot of draught beer...
I was going to pick up some packets of Emergen-C, tried them last year to help boost my immune system with constant colds and they are packed with Vitamins C & 7 B Vitamins, antioxidants and electrolytes... seems to work pretty good the morning after, before the ceaser
Most Wal-Mart stores in our area carry the powder packets of Pedialyte in the baby section. Tammy also found the powder packets of G2 but I'm not sure what section they were in.........
The 5 hour energy before drinking helps with hangovers, but I also feel like I don't really get to the completely carefree drunk stage.
Looks like an Alka-Seltza, mum used to give me them when I had an "upset tummy".. The older I've got, the worse the hangovers have got! By the time I'm (cough)ty, I'll have to give it up altogether.... :daisy:
Its actually very similar to Alka-Seltza n that it fizzes up the same and has ingredients to soothe your stomach, the other ingredients are an aspirin type pain reliever and caffeine.
We asked the pharmacist where we could find the pedialyte and to make a long story short she changed our direction from pedialyte (for babies) to gastrolyte which is the same thing for adults. A box of 10 packets was $16. She never said not to get pedialyte, they just didnt have it in powder for for the trip. Thanks for this idea though, never would have even looked for something like this otherwise.
I also recommend the stage 3 recovery drink gatoraide makes. It's not a taste I otherwise care for but hangovers call for desperate measures... When in need I've found that a banana and fried eggs and pleanty of juice in the morning provide the perfect balance of protien, potassium and vitamins to make that nasty headache fade fast.
