not a discussion about hangover cures because i have tried them all and this is the only one that works for me.

 

I take 1 paracetamol (dont know the quantity but the ones where you would normally take 2 for a headache so half basically half a dose) before going to bed and in the morning i feel absolutely fine. I might be a little dehydrated but that is solved by drinking endless cups of tea.

 

This cure works every single time and has no side effects that i can notice.

 

However, when i was mentioning this to someone they said someone had told them that doing this and mixing alcohol with paracetamol destroys your liver. I know taking paracetamol is bad for the liver generally but wasnt sure how mixing it with alcohol, which is also bad for your liver, affected things.

 

I have found this scary article that says mixing the 2 can triple the amount of the liver damaging toxin gets released but it seems to focus more on taking large quantities of paracetamol the morning after to cure the headache of a hangover.

I am pretty worried about this as i pretty much do this every weekend so need some sound medical advice not alternatives or wisecracks. Im sure it will be ok because the liver can repairs itself and i otherwise am pretty healthy but need to know if my liver is in trouble or if i can carry on with my cure or endure immense headaches every morning.

One pill wont hurt you fella ontop of a ton of alcohol.

ok got to say if your dehydrated and your only drinking tea, which is a diretic (someon spell that for me sure teh is a H in there) then your gona be pissing it out faster than you can get it through your system.

 

try the pill and a couple of pints of water, will take car of the dehydration

i get the water and juice down me too but have an insaitable appetite for cup after cup of tea after a night out. I dont think the caffine in tea is a big of a diuretic as alcohol and i think it is good to get yourself to keep emptying the bladder to purge out the all the bad stuff your body is processing. I drink alot of water anyway so i reckon my hydration levels get back to normal pretty quickly.

I wouldn't mix the the two myself, I take 1 gram of vit c and about 75 mg of zinc the night before and it does work wonders!

before you go out drinking or before you go to sleep?

 

does it work everytime? The paracetamol method does and also makes you feel better and more lively than you would on a normal morning.

 

I wouldnt be suprised if it is something else than the active ingrediant in the para that sorts you out because the is no way it would keep acting as a headache cure after 8 hours of being asleep/dehydrated.

An isotonic drink that rehydrates you and tops up your electrolytes before you go to sleep is usually a good bet eg. Lucozade Sport or Gatorade.

I generally down a pint of water/OJ before heading to bed and feel fine the next morning...(i know this may sound contrary to my room spin thread but that is the night before!!)

Works everytime and take them before going to bed, you can take them before going out but you don't get as pissed!

 

I know that alcohol and anadin form a poisin when taken together not sure on paracetemol!
