How To Hack a Hangover

Credit to Flickr user aerodesign.plPartying is a fun, and in my mind, important aspect of college life. However, waking up with a hangover should not tarnish the wonderful memories you have of the night before. Here are some tips to cure that hangover and get on with your day.
Drink water between drinks.
Although you may want to keep pounding back beers, a glass of water between each drink will prolong your night and spare you great misery in the morning.
Avoid caffeinated beverages.
Caffeine dehydrates your body. Alcohol dehydrates your body. Mix the two together and you get… very dehydrated. If you manage to avoid a heart attack after consuming a Jägerbomb or two, don’t be surprised when you wake up with throbbing headache. I suggest you avoid these drinks at all costs.
Drink Gatorade.
Gatorade, the drink of gods. Not only does it taste great, it also restores your body’s fluids and electrolytes. When you get home from that epic beer pong tournament, slam back 500mL of delicious Cool Blue. Have several other bottles on hand for the next morning. If you’re a true-life hacker you will use Gatorade as chase or mixer.
Eat McDonalds.
Hangover McDonalds is the best kind of McDonalds (a close second is drunk McDonalds, but if you’re reading this you probably already know that). Do your absolute best to wake up before they stop serving those delicious breakfast sandwiches. Ignore your queasy stomach; what it really wants is the greasiest-most-carbtastic meal on the menu. Just trust me on this one, it really does work.
Take you vitamins.
After poisoning your body, it’s important to replenish your body’s nutrient stores. Vitamin B12 deficiency leads grogginess and exhaustion the following morning. Although a dedicated B12 vitamin is best, don’t hesitate to take a Flinstones multivitamin if it’s all you have on hand.

Take two Advil before you go to sleep with a large glass of water. Do the same when you wake up. Doing this works wonders for me. I can only imagine what eating McDonalds super hungover is like.
ps cool blue is my favorite lol
for real
i'm with ryan...i take 2 advil with a glass of water and i'm perfectly fine in the morning. whenever i don't do this, i wake up with a huge hangover.
the website says don't take with alcohol...as in don't use alcohol in place of water. i'd never do that (except by accident...my friend did that once, and she's still alive)
I have never had a hang over , is that weird?
Belive me I have plenty of experience with drinking , but the next morning
nothing.
Ugh and here i am trying to avoid McDonalds for obvious health reasons, but id do anything to get rid of those pounding headaches on certain morning afters! thanks for the list
