Weird hangover cures

Hangover-main_FullSome Puerto Ricans rub a slice of lemon or lime in the armpit of their drinking arm before they start drinking to stop a hangover before it starts. Apparently, lemon prevents dehydration and therefore headaches because it helps retain fluid.

In Outer Mongolia, a pair of pickled sheeps eyes in tomato juice is thought to be the answer to a thumping head and cattle ropers in the Old West drank tea brewed from rabbit droppings.

In Romania they say the sure-fire way to cure a hangover is tripe. The cow’s stomach is boiled in greasy, salty root vegetable soup with garlic vinegar and cream. Some people think this might only be a good cure because they won’t drink in the first place when they know they have to eat this the next day.

The ancient Scottish cure for a whisky hangover is the Highland Fling. If you’re not feeling too sick, heat a pint of buttermilk and stir in a tablespoon of cornflower. Then season with salt and pepper.

In Ancient Rome, party-goers breakfasted on sheep lungs and two owl eggs and in ancient Greece the cure was deep-fried canaries.

A popular remedy not recommended for pregnant women or the elderly is the Prairie Oyster. It includes a whole raw egg and Worcestershire sauce, seasoned with salt and pepper. The aim is to swallow the concoction in one gulp without breaking the yolk.

  1. If you can find any. Smoke some hash oil in a glass pipe, que up some Colour Haze or KYUSS and go have sex for about an hour. You’ll be better in no time. Sorry, that’s just the stoner side of me bleeding through.

  2. I find that drinking a bottle of water for each drink just before going4 4to sleep works perfectly fine. Unfortunately this usually means waking up with a pyramid of empty water bottles beside the bed.

  3. I must agree with Jimbo that the best cure is a nicely rolled joint in the morning…cures the nausea and you’re ready to eat in no time! 🙂

  4. 1000ml saline IV
    1000mg acetaminophen
    oxygen while the IV bag drains.
    You will be cured, but be prepared to piss all day long.
